In the Japanese and non-English European versions of the game, Vivian is portrayed as in some way gender non-conforming, with the original Japanese script, like a lot of pop culture addressing gender identity at the time, being ambiguous as to whether Vivian is a transgender woman being referred to in an unflattering light, or a cisgender male crossdresser. A rough translation of the Japanese text for Vivian as a party member reads:
This was changed in the English localization to make Vivian a cisgender woman with "a bit of an inferiority complex." The Italian version of the game instead appears to portray Vivian as a proud transgender woman:
"カゲ三人組の一人だった オンナのコのようで ホントは オトコのコ"
"One of the shadow group, Vivian appears to be a girl but is really a boy."
"One of the shadow group, Vivian appears to be a girl but is really a boy."
This was changed in the English localization to make Vivian a cisgender woman with "a bit of an inferiority complex." The Italian version of the game instead appears to portray Vivian as a proud transgender woman:
Vivian: "We'll defeat that Mario guy! 'Cause we are 'The three shadow sisters'!"
Marilyn: "How can you define us as 'The three shadow sisters'? You are a man! A MAN!"
Vivian: "That’s true, you are two sisters… But I am a woman too now, and I'm proud to have turned into a woman!"
Marilyn: "Hmph. And you surely think you are more beautiful than we are, huh? You deserve a punishment for that!"
Marilyn: "How can you define us as 'The three shadow sisters'? You are a man! A MAN!"
Vivian: "That’s true, you are two sisters… But I am a woman too now, and I'm proud to have turned into a woman!"
Marilyn: "Hmph. And you surely think you are more beautiful than we are, huh? You deserve a punishment for that!"
