'''Zess T.''' is a grumpy, 55-year-old [[Toad (species)|Toad]] chef in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' who resides in [[Rogueport]]. Her name is a pun on the word "zesty", which, in a way, describes her personality, as well as being a reference to her cooking skills. Like [[Tayce T.]], she is an expert at cooking, and even featured a similar backstory involving cakes and a deceased husband. Unlike Tayce T., however, her personality is the polar opposite; she has a sour attitude and is very mean and grumpy, calling [[Mario]] names and keeping a mean expression on her face. Her attitude is similar to [[Dyllis]].


'''Zess T.''' is grumpy chef in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' who resides in [[Rogueport]].
[[File:Zess T. in Rogueport.png|thumb|Zess T. looking for her missing Contact Lens]]
[[Mario]] first comes across her as she is searching for her missing [[Contact Lens]]; after Mario accidentally steps on it and crushes it, Zess T. refuses to allow him into [[Rogueport#West Side|Rogueport's West Side]] until he buys her a new one. Even after he does, Zess T. still harbors a bit of a grudge, referring to him as names such as "Stompy" or "Sir Stomps-on-Stuff". However, Wonky implies that she does ultimately have a bit of a soft spot for Mario since he mentions when describing [[Couple's Cake]] that, due to it reminding her of her deceased husband, she rarely bakes the cake unless someone really wins her favor.


[[Mario]] first sees her searching for her missing [[Contact Lens]]; but Mario sccidentally steps on the lens and crushes it. Mario wasn't allowed to get into Rogueport's [[rogueport#West Side|West Side]] until he bought her a new one. Mario buys her new contact lens, but it seems she still carries a grudge calling him names refferring to "Stompy" and "Crush". Later she is able to cook improved food items out of other, regular items.
Her cooking is limited to one item at a time until Mario finds [[List of implied characters#Maitre Delish|Maitre Delish]]'s [[Cookbook]] hidden in a back room of [[Creepy Steeple]]. After completing [[Seeking Legendary Book!|this task]], she is able to cook two items into one.


Her cooking is limited to one item at a time until you get the [[Maitre Delish]] cookbook from the [[Creepy Steeple]]. To give the cookbook to Zess T., Mario must complete the [[Trouble Center#Zess T.|"Seeking Legendary Book!" trouble]].
When Mario throws [[Zess Dynamite]] at enemies in battle, it summons a ghostly image of a fierce-looking Zess T. as it causes a massive explosion, dealing 7 points of damage to all enemies.
