sentences: Portia is the heroine of William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice".
 A rich, beautiful, and intelligent heiress, she is bound by the lottery set forth in her father's will, which gives potential suitors the chance to choose between three caskets composed of gold, silver and lead.
 If they choose the right casket – the casket containing Portia's portrait and a scroll– they win Portia's hand in marriage.
 If they choose the wrong casket, they must leave and never seek another woman in marriage.
 Portia is glad when two suitors, one driven by greed and another by vanity, fail to choose correctly.
 She favours Bassanio, a young Venetian noble, but is not allowed to give him any clues to assist in his choice.
 Later in the play, she disguises herself as a man, then assumes the role of a lawyer's apprentice (named Balthazar) whereby she saves the life of Bassanio's friend, Antonio, in court.

 The popular conception of this quote is that it was a mistranslation, though translator Clyde Mandelin noted that the Japanese version had a similar statement and that another character in the game is named "Bug" (possibly referring to a computer bug), which was actually mistranslated "Bagu" due to how the name Bug is phonetically written.
 The quote has been referenced in other works, including "Super Paper Mario", "The Binding of Isaac", and "Guacamelee!

 The quote (and by extension its character) have been identified by critics such as GamesRadar, GameSpot, and "Official Nintendo Magazine" as one of the most well-known elements of video games and a popular Internet meme.
 IGN, however, felt that the quote was one of the worst mistranslations in gaming.
