"Let's go, Connie. We Wattanists have a duty to perform. We must protect the Uni-Tree, for the sake of our world."
—Cozette imparts wisdom on Connie during Snoutlet's flashback in Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Cozette, also called Ms. Cozette by her pupil Connie, is a supporting character who serves as an ally in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Cozette was the original Wattanist (a pun on "botanist"), or caretaker, of the Uni-Tree before she disappeared, forcing Connie to supplant her.

Profile[]

Physical Description[]

Cozette is a relatively tall, slim Concordian woman. As with her student Connie, her face resembles an outlet. Her outfit consists of a hat that resembles a plug and a blue dress with a black scarf. She has similar proportions to certain taller Concordians like Dulles, Technikki, and Prince Chilliam.

Personality[]

Cozette is described as a pro Wattanist. She cares for Concordia and the Concordians, and hopes that Connie can succeed her as a Wattanist successfully. After his death, she blames herself for what Zokket did, which can imply that she is partly responsible for it.

History[]

Cozette is mentioned several times by her student Connie throughout the game, and it is revealed that she helped Connie through trouble. When Zokket confronts the latter aboard Shipshape Island, taunting her how his Glohm wave killed Mario and Luigi as the two left the Zokket Fortress, Connie refuses to give up hope, proclaiming that she believes her mentor will come someday.

Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi did in fact manage to get away from Zokket's Glohm surge, encountering a being known as the Great Conductor. The Great Conductor reveals that Cozette was a fine Wattanist who watched over the Uni-Tree well, but she for some reason betrayed Concordia, and the reason still escapes his grasp, so he concludes that someone else consumed her.

Spoiler:After this, Mario and Luigi head back to Fortress Zokket, where they and Zokket fight. Zokket is eventually slain, but uses his last breath to resurrect Reclusa, his body disintegrating afterward and revealing Cozette. Cozette is taken back to Shipshape Island where she is brought back to life and apologises for Zokket's crimes. Cozette holds hands with her pupil, creating a blob of positive energy called a "Bond." Cozette stays on Shipshape Island with her pupil watching over her recovery as the Bros. head out to get more Bonds.

Spoiler:Mario and Luigi eventually get enough Bonds to get into Reclusa's fortress, after which Cozette heads inside to deal with Reclusa on her own to atone for her (actually, as stated earlier, Zokket's) mistakes, only to be injured. After Reclusa is slain, Cozette and Connie save the Bros., with the quartet heading back to Shipshape Island.

Spoiler:Cozette can be seen teaching a group of Concordian kids on Twistee Island during the credits after Concordia's restoration.

Behind the Scenes[]

Etymology[]

Cozette takes her name from a rough anagram of Zokket's Japanese name. Her name also resembles the real-world name "Cosette," which comes from the French word chose ("object," "thing").

Nomenclature[]

In Japanese, Cozette is called "Kotozetto" (written コトゼット), her name being a rough anagram of Zokket's Japanese name, Zoketto (which is missing one of the to (written ト) syllables). Her Chinese name, Kētèzhuó, seems to be derived from her Japanese name. In Spanish, she is called "Nessa," a shorthand form of "Vanessa," though this is meant to be a pun on the Italian word connessa, a feminine form of connesso, the past participle of the verb connéttere ("to connect"). Portuguese refers to her as Amparo, which means "protection" or "support," and is also meant to be a pun on the power unit ampère; considering her gender, this name is likely meant to be a surname. The Italian dub calls her Cozette, identical to the English name. In French, she is named "Wattine," from "Watt" (a unit of power) and the feminine suffix -ine. Her Dutch name, Philoux, is a female given name and phonetically sounds similar to filoe ("deceiver"). Her German name is Madame Peretta, with Peretta being a pun on the "ampere" (a unit used to measure an electric current's strength).
