'''Connie''' is a major supporting character from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. She is a Wattanist in [[Concordia]] who is [[Snoutlet]]’s good friend and helps out [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] on their adventure. Before the events of the game, [[Cozette]] served as Connie's mentor and taught her about a Wattanist's duties before she was brainwashed into becoming [[Zokket]]; despite this, Connie is certain of Cozette's return. Connie is shown to be the [[Uni-Tree]]’s caretaker for the main purpose of growing and producing [[Connectar]], a key element needed for accomplishing the big reunion of Concordia’s islands, all from her [[Bonding Can]]. She wears a sleeveless blue dress shirt with an orange circle on it and dark blue trousers that seem to go all the way to her ankles, and her hat resembles a {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets#NEMA 1-15 ungrounded (Type A)|Type A plug}}.<ref> {{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=June 18, 2024|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5I3DcapElQ|title=Mario & Luigi: Brothership – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|language=English|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240618232910/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5I3DcapElQ|accessdate=June 18, 2024}}</ref> While her name is a real name, it is also a reference to the word "connector".<ref> https://youtu.be/mjTA-wYIE18?si=I-D5RbfpJrAiqz_V</ref>

Connie is first seen when the [[Mario]] [[Luigi|Bros.]], after their arrival in [[Concordia]], reach [[Shipshape Island]]. After an introduction, she explains that she is regrowing the Uni-Tree after the original's destruction. Connie's friend [[Snoutlet]] reveals himself and becomes the duo's guide. Throughout the game, Connie can be spoken to for more hints. She also accompanies them to every [[Great Lighthouse]] so she can use her Bonding Can to restore light to it. Before the first three Great Lighthouse trips, Connie travels to one of the islands connected to Shipshape to reminisce about her mentor Cozette, who seemingly disappeared following the destruction of the original Uni-Tree. On [[Allsand Island]], Cozette had once saved Connie from sinking in quicksand. Following the incident, Cozette remarked that Connie may end up having to rescue her someday.

 

 

Before the Mario Bros. fight [[Pipegunk]], where she asks [[Shun]] what Zokket plans to do with Glohm, a toxic substance used as a weapon by his forces, after which Shun reveals Zokket's plan to not just keep Concordia's lands scattered, but also to destroy everything, much to the heroes' horror. Later, when the group reaches the Gulchrock Sea, it is revealed that Zokket has been watching nearby. Connie and Snoutlet catch his eye, prompting him to change his plans to destroying everything in his path. Meanwhile, on Shipshape Island's deck, Connie displays curiosity for the Gulchrock Sea. However, she and the Bros. are shocked to see Zokket's forces at war with [[Bowser's Minions]]. She is not seen after the Bros. enter [[Bowser]]'s fortress to get help from him against Zokket's army (unless the player heads back to Shipshape Island before storming Zokket's fortress), but appears in a cutscene after their failed invasion, where Zokket taunts her about their demise during their escape from his fortress in an attempt to break her, but she resists his attempts to do so, proclaiming that she knows that her mentor Cozette will return.
