Bess

Generous, always ready to help, full of versatility, Bess likes to treat the Monchhichi with her juices, cakes, and all kinds of dishes containing various fruits. She has no equal in inventing recipes based on chhinanas, but also on more exotic fruits and various condiments.

Her role in the community
Pat runs, a pastry shop on the large central square of the Dream Tree. It is a popular meeting point for the community, as the Monchhichi are hungry and Bess hospitable.

Interests
Pastry, and more generally taste. For her, cooking is an art, an experience, an exciting adventure! She is always looking to create new recipes. She loves looking for new flavours in the Grasslands, tasting all the herbs or fruits she discovers to enrich her recipes.

Her absolute dream would be to concoct a recipe with Glowing Fruits. She'd love to know how it tastes! But of course, it is impossible, because the Glowing Fruits are reserved for the Dream Elixir.

Her little flaws
She hates it when people criticize her cakes, while sometimes, they simply aren't good. It can thus happen (rarely) that a Monchhichi does not like her pastry or that another falls ill after having eaten one of her cakes. But she goes to a lot of trouble to invent recipes, so the least we can do is taste them! Otherwise... watch the cream pie! (see "The Secrecy Plant"). And if we ever attack her specialties, it makes her angry (see "The drowsy cake").

Bess is also "happily messy". Her kitchen is filled with dishes and utensils not in order, recipes in progress, ingredients placed anywhere. However, she finds herself there very well, to Stampy's astonishment.
