'''Zess T.''' is a character who first appeared in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She is a grumpy, 55-year-old [[Toad (species)|Toad]] 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 rambunctious attitude, describing her as very mean and grumpy, calling [[Mario]] names and keeping a mean expression on her face. Her attitude is similar to [[Dyllis]]. | '''Zess T.''' is a character who first appeared in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

At the start of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Zess T. is seen pacing about outside her residence, trying to find her [[Contact Lens]]. When Mario approaches Zess T., she orders Mario to freeze and not move a step until she finds her missing contact lens, but when Mario moves anyway, he accidentally steps on the lens.

When Mario approaches Zess T., she orders Mario to freeze and not move a step until she finds her missing contact lens, but when Mario moves anyway, he accidentally steps on the lens. Zess T. accuses Mario for stepping on her missing lens and refuses to allow him into [[Rogueport#West Side|Rogueport's West Side]] until he buys her a new set of contact lens. After Mario purchases some new lens from the shop and presents them to Zess T., she returns home safely, allowing Mario to have access to the west side of Rogueport. Even so, Zess T. still harbors a bit of a grudge, referring to him by names such as "Stompy" or "Sir Stomps-on-Stuff". | ||
After solving the contact crisis, Mario can visit Zess T. at her residence | After solving the contact crisis, Mario can visit Zess T. at her residence and she will make recipes for him. Initially, 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 the [[Creepy Steeple]]. After completing [[Seeking legendary book!|this task]], she is able to cook two different items into one. [[Wonky]] reveals that she ultimately develops a bit of a soft spot for Mario since she rarely bakes [[Couple's Cake]] given it reminds her of her deceased husband, but she's willing to bake it for Mario since he won her favor. Zess T. also cooks [[Omelette Plate|Omelette Meals]] for the guests of the [[Inn|Royal Poshley Park Tower]], the inn in [[Poshley Heights]], and Space Food for the inn at Fahr Outpost. | ||
Throughout the game, the player receives emails via [[Mailbox SP]], which may have Zess T. mentioned in messages through the [[Rogueport Direct Mail Service]]. The RDM Issue 2 shows that Zess T. has been expressing romantic feeling towards [[Toadsworth]], although both parties have elderly ages. In the RDM Final Issue, it is revealed that Zess T. had allegedly punched [[Flavio]] in the left jaw by delivering a left hook. The reason for the assault was that Zess T. was seemingly growing impatient about a shipment of gourmet ingredients, which seemingly spoiled, mainly due to Flavio withholding the dock crew just having returned from a two-day voyage with the supplies. | Throughout the game, the player receives emails via [[Mailbox SP]], which may have Zess T. mentioned in messages through the [[Rogueport Direct Mail Service]].
