Colette Tatou is one of the two tritagonists (the other being Gusteau) in Ratatouille.
Personality[]
Colette is shown to be an assertive and opinionated French woman who likes to act tough, especially in front of Linguini. She claims that the reason she is the only woman in the kitchen is because she is the "toughest cook in the kitchen". When she is forced to train Linguini, she is brutal and harsh in doing so. She becomes envious and disgruntled when Linguini got Skinner's attention, and almost left her job only because she thinks Linguini is being snobbish.
Her cooking skills are only mediocre at best, but due to her assertiveness, she believes that she knows what she is doing. When Linguini (who is controlled by Remy) stops her from altering his dish, she gets angry at him, unaware to the fact that he prevented the dish from tasting bad and probably saved the both of them from being fired. She is a firm believer of Gusteau's motto, "Anyone can cook". This is shown when she defended Linguini from being fired and even believed Linguini when he said Remy can really cook. She later ends up working as Remy's sous chef in Linguini's new bistro, La Ratatouille.
