Personality[]
Games[]
Collette is kind, playful, and hardworking. Whenever someone enters her bakery, she comes up with a new slogan and gives them a warm welcome. She loves to talk to people and is known to have witty responses. She is friends with many of the townsfolk and she is happy to sell them her delicious bread. Collette believes that bread is a gift from the Star God and is designed to make people happy. She normally doesn't want help from others, but learns that getting aid from others has its benefits. Though she is not flirtatious, she tends to joke with others about their romantic habits or that people are drawn to her because of her bread or her cuteness. Collette tends to believe any rumor she hears whether it's true or not. She also considers herself to be pure in both body and mind. She tries to avoid people and situations she considers dirty unless she has to deal with them. Though she has never been on dates before and believes the Classmating Ritual is dirty, she manages to experience both and grows to like them.
She doesn't like complaining because it wastes time that she can use to bake more bread. Collette puts a lot of effort into everything she does. Whether it's making bread, maintaining her business, or finding clovers, Collette works hard on whatever she puts her mind to. Even when things seem difficult, she quickly recovers and tries harder. Only after suffering a deep betrayal does Collette's optimistic visage break completely. Despite being close to the other Star Maidens like Tarua and Lillith, she is shown in game to interact with them less than any other Star Maiden, even compared to less social maidens like Sue or Yuzuha, but that seems to be because she works for long hours. She has a lot of respect for her grandparents who were also bakers and recites quotes and sayings they told her when she was younger. Sometimes, she can come off as rude or annoying and her carefree nature is seen as troublesome by others. After developing feelings for Itsuki, Collette acts more cutesy and playful towards him since she thinks he would like that. She has average grades.
Anime[]
In the Conception (anime), Collette is shyer compared to her game counterpart, but her work ethic and determined nature remain the same. She comes off as reserved, but she still likes to cheer others up. She also doesn't have any issues keeping people in the storage room of her bakery for weeks. Her disdain for dirty actions is nonexistent after falling for Itsuki and she has no issues making food in falick shapes. Her bonding arc was changed and abridged.
