Zess T. is a grumpy, 55-year old Toad who appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She resides in Rogueport, where she works as a chef.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Zess T. is a Toad with yellow spots on her mushroom cap. She has an unpleasant expression. Zess T. also wears brown shoes, a black shirt, and a red apron.

Powers and abilities[]

Like Tayce T., Zess T. is an expert at cooking, but has a sour expression and is normally mean and grumpy. If given certain items, she can cook dishes for Mario. Interestingly, her dishes are served as a breakfast at an expensive hotel.

Etymology[]

Zess T.'s name and last initial makes for a pun on the verb "zesty," which in a way, describes her personality and references her cooking skills.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]

Mario first comes across Zess T. while she is searching for her Contact Lens, when Mario accidentally steps on the Contact Lens and crushes it. Zess T. then refuses to allow him into Rogueport's West Side until he buys her a new one. Mario orders a replacement for her at the Toad Bros. Bazaar and after Chapter 1, he can buy them for ten Coins. Even after Mario gives Zess T. the contact lens, she still harasses a bit of grudge, calling Mario nicknames like "Stompy" or "Sir Stomps-on-Stuff".

Zess T. can only cook one item at a time until Mario finds Maitre Delish's Cookbook hidden in a back room of the Creepy Stable. After that, Zess T. can cook two items into one dish for the remainder of the game.
