—Burnadette, Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Burnadette is the princess of the Skorcheen people in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. She is the romantic partner of Chilliam, the prince of the Slippenglide people. She is a rotund Concordian woman with orange skin and red hair wearing a brown and orange dress. She has a flame on her head like the rest of her people, with hers being in the shape of a crown. Her name is a portmanteau of "burn" and the feminine name "Bernadette".

History

When Mario and Luigi arrive on Bulbfish Island, they find Burnadette and Chilliam flirting in the middle of it. Leyden's assistant frames them for having stolen the island's Bulbfish eggs and has them falsely arrested for the crime. To pass the time in prison, they pretend to be in a luxurious hotel together, with Burnadette being a rich customer and Chilliam a receptionist. Eventually, they are freed by Mario and Luigi, who catch Leyden's assistant as being the true thief. Once the brothers activate the lighthouse on Bulbfish Island, Burnadette and Chilliam arrive on Shipshape Island for the first time. There, they ask Mario and Luigi to find and link Heatfreeze Island, the place where the couple met. After they do so, the Extension Corps infects Chilliam with Glohm, causing him to reject Burnadette, leaving her in tears. Only after Dr. Vulko is summoned from Burnadette's homeland of Skorcheen is the prince able to be cured. Chilliam apologizes for his behavior under the Glohm's influence, and the two immediately decide they want to marry. They have a big wedding on Heatfreeze Island, which helps bring their normally contentious people together.

Later, Burnadette becomes worried that her father is lonely, initiating a sidequest where Mario and Luigi check up on him. Upon visiting Burnadette's dad, he reveals that she used to complain about his flatulence and is impressed at how much she has grown if she is so worried about him. He reassures them that he is fine, much to Burnadette's relief.

Once Reclusa awakens, Burnadette's romance with Chilliam is one of the seven Bonds Mario and Luigi need to collect with Connie's Bonding Can in order to break through the Soli-Tree's barrier. After the Bonding Can is filled, she, along with the other characters the brothers collect Bonds from, cheer them on as they prepare to storm Reclusa's base. During the credits, Burnadette and Chilliam are seen hugging as they jump on a Bouncy Bloom on Florall Island.
