Dossiers

 * Owner of Galdin Quay's world-famous Mother of Pearl. When the quay's tourism counsel began rebuilding Galdin as a resort destination, they sought out Coctura to serve as head chef of their new bistro-on-the-beach. She kindly obliged, and the restaurant has since earned quite a name for itself thanks in large part to her exquisite cuisine. She now spends her days honing her culinary craft, hoping to prove her food finer than the fare served at Altissian café Maagho.

Coctura wears a maroon chef's shirt with the golden logo of her restaurant, a black neck tie, a black apron, dark cropped trousers and black high heels. She wears her blond hair in a bun and a bracelet on her left wrist.

Personality
Coctura is warm and personable, but is implied to have a competitive streak, looking to make her restaurant surpass the famous n Maagho.

Story
Coctura was sought out by Galdin Quay's tourism counsel to establish a restaurant at their new resort, and her Mother of Pearl has becomes famous for its seafood. She wishes to develop new dishes to gain even more fame, and is looking to develop a cake to commemorate the wedding Prince Noctis and Lady Lunafreya. She is happy to serve the prince and his retinue as they visit her restaurant, and once she gets to know them better, tasks them with bringing her Ulwaat Berries to make the dessert.

When Longwythe Peak begins to rumble, Noctis heads to the Crow's Nest Diner at Longwythe Rest Area to find out what is happening. Coctura is there with Dino Ghiranze, a reporter/jeweler who also makes his residence at the quay in a manner that implies the two are dating.

When Noctis returns to the ruins of Galdin Quay ten years later, Coctura's clothes are strewn about the counter where her restaurant used to be, implying she has turned into a daemon.

Gameplay
Coctura asks Noctis to bring her Ulwaat Berries to concoct a new dessert for the Mother of Pearl. The player can get them from Tony in Chapter 8 by trading three Caem Carrots. The player can star farming carrots on the vegetable patch in Cape Caem by talking to Iris Amicitia in Chapter 8.

After bringing her the berries Coctura develops them into a cake made in Tenebraen style. The player can then eat it at the restaurant. It boosts Magic magnificently but reduces Strength to 0. Ignis Scientia will be inspired to make a recipe of it to eat at camp. Instead of making the same cake Coctura serves, his recipe is the pastry seen in the Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV anime of the treat the young Noctis once enjoyed in Tenebrae; recreating the treat had inspired Ignis to start cooking.

Trivia

 * Coctura has a drawing of herself by the caricaturist on her counter.
