You have skill, that's for sure. I hope we can get along!
Cicero Burrata is one of the main characters in Chapter 5. She is both a pizza archaeologist and the owner of family-run Burrata's Pizzeria.
Appearance[]
Cicero Burrata is a woman of short build and has tan skin. On her head is a khaki-colored pith helmet with a badge that looks like a pizza on its side. The helmet's strap is visible under her chin. She has short feathery red hair underneath her helmet. She has small eyes with visible lashes, thick eyebrows, and a small round nose. She also wears round eyeglasses.
She wears a one-piece khaki-colored safari jacket and an orange necktie around her neck. The jacket has two breast pockets, one on each side, and folded sleeves and legs. Around her waist, she wears a black belt, to which a small bag is also attached.[1]
Personality[]
On her first appearance, she appears with a rather aloof personality and says she hopes to get along with you. She is later shown to be loyal and sweet, standing up for herself, her family, and those who have been kind to her, such as Alicante and you. She is also a skilled liar, able to hide the truth (for a good reason) from you and others until it is no longer possible for her to do so.
History[]
Cicero is a Notre Dough University graduate. It is revealed that she did not have many friends there, resulting in her having a hard time. However, she said that Alicante is one of the people who wanted to accept her as a friend.
In a Pizza News Network broadcast, the newscaster stated that she is a renowned pizza archeologist and is the youngest daughter of a disgraced Ovenist family. One of her archaeological achievements is discovering Julius Cheeser's ancient Dough in the Pomperonii Ruins. She is also a pizzeria owner, taking care of the Burrata's Pizzeria in Havarti Park, a pizzeria owned by her family. It is revealed in a magazine article that Marinar Burrata tried to stop Julius Cheeser from taking over the pizza industry, which resulted in Marinar's exile and affected the Burrata family business for generations.
Plot[]
Cicero first visits your pizzeria ordering a random pizza and leaves unsure, hoping that she can get along with you. However, she later comes back to introduce herself.
Later in the game, she tells you that you cannot investigate her pizzeria yet as she is still busy. However, later, she requests 300 pieces of Zucchini from you. Once given to her, she allows you to investigate. When you find the Magazine Article talking about Marinar Burrata's betrayal and submit it to her, she will lash out, ranting about Julius Cheeser. However, the next day, she comes to apologize to you and gives you 10 Artichoke seeds.
Upon finding the Pomperonii Photo in Octavia Bell's diary, which contains a photo of Octavia and Cicero unearthing Julius Cheeser's Dough, you may choose to give it to Cicero, who keeps the photo. If so, Cicero admits to stealing the dough. She explains that the Dough is dangerous and whoever eats it, such as Octavia, is mind-controlled by Julius Cheeser, who wants to eliminate all toppings. Cheeser needs to possess an Ovenist who has proven worthy of hosting his mind which is why a competition was hosted. She reveals that her ancestor, Marinar Burrata, left instructions on how to seal the Dough on an ancient stone tablet. Cicero only has one piece, which she gives you. Once she is shown the completed Stone Tablet, she gives you Cheeser's Dough.
If you give the photo to Nasir or Octavia (who gives it to Nasir), Cicero is arrested for seven in-game days. There is a note on her desk explaining everything (similar to the other storyline). You also get a piece of the Stone Tablet and Cheeser's Dough.
