Chocolat

Chocolat is a support character in Tales of Symphonia that lives in Palmacosta. Though a tough girl who refuses to obey the Desians, she has high believes and trusts that the Chosen will regenerate the world.

Family
Chocolat's grandmother has a key role to the story. Her grandmother, Marble, was taken by the Desians, and later over to Iselia Human Ranch, where she met Genis. Chocolat and Marble have a very close bond, and Chocolat believes that she is still alive.

Chocolat's mother is named Cacao, a much calmer person than Chocolat. She is always worrying about her daughter, as she is openly opposing the Desians. She is later about to get punished for Chocolat's riots, but Colette saves her.

Chocolat's father is not named, but he was killed by the Desians for opposing them.

Early life
Before the game starts, Chocolat's father was killed, and her grandmother was taken away because they opposed the Desians. As a result, Chocolat decided to follow her father's footsteps, and disobeys a Desian whenever she gets the chance. She helps her mother to run their little store that Marble left them, believing that her grandmother still is alive.

Meeting the Chosen
The first time the party meets Chocolat is when they have to buy a new Palmacosta Potion to the imposters (this is before they know that they are imposters). When they enter the store, they see Chocolat refusing to sell to two Desians for a low prize. Although she insults them, they can not do much because of the treaty they have with the Governor-General in Palmacosta, Dorr. After the Desians exits, Chocolat goes over to the Church of Martel to help them there. Later, when the party goes over there to talk to the priest, they meet up with her and get informed about the treaty between Palmacosta and Palmacosta Human Ranch. She ends the conversation with saying that the Chosen of Regeneration will save them from the Desians. She and Colette becomes friends, ironically not knowing that Colette is actually the Chosen One.

Later, however, when Cacao is about to get executed for Chocolat's crimes, and Colette saves her, Chocolat express her doubts to the Goddess Martel to Colette. The latter tells Chocolat that she believes that the Goddess sleeps in them all, and that she just has to believe in her. Enlightened by the girl's words, Chocolat goes back to her work at the church.

The misunderstanding
Later, Chocolat and some other people from Palmacosta are taken to Palmacosta Human Ranch for violence. While the party goes around to save them, Chocolat is brought to Magnius' office, possibly for interrogation. However, after the party has defeated the guards, Magnius reveals for Chocolat that Lloyd and Genis killed her grandmother with cold blood. Believing him, she refuses to get saved by Marble's murderers and is recaptured and taken away. Later, when the party goes to save the people in Asgard Human Ranch, they are told that she was taken to Iselia Human Ranch, but do not see her until the end of Disc 1.

Knowing the truth
While she is captived in Iselia Human Ranch, Chocolat gets to know the other humans who are there. There, she learns that Marble used to meet a little boy named Genis when the Desians were not looking, and that another older boy, who was Lloyd, came with Genis during Marble's last day and agreed to save her from her Exsphere, which did not have a Key Crest.

After she was saved by Lloyd and Colette, in Disc 2, she defended Lloyd and the others against the Mayor, and said that she had forgiven Lloyd for killing her grandmother. Nothing more is know about her after that, but as Palmacosta was destroyed, it is highly likely that she lives in Iselia.
