Coatess

Coatess is a fictional character from the *Dragon Ball* multimedia franchise, created by Akira Toriyama. Introduced in the *Dragon Ball GT* anime series, Coatess is a mysterious and powerful being who first appears as a member of the "Coatess Gang," a group of thieves led by the villainous Cooler. The gang is composed of various individuals, each with unique abilities and appearances, including Coatess herself, who is characterized by her long, flowing red hair and a distinctive outfit resembling a coat.

Coatess plays a minor but memorable role in the series, particularly in the arc centered around the "Cooler Saga." She is depicted as a skilled fighter and a loyal follower of Cooler, though her motivations and personal history remain largely unexplored. Her design and abilities suggest she is a formidable opponent, though she is ultimately defeated by the protagonists, Goku and Trunks.

The character’s name, "Coatess," is a play on words, combining "coat" with the suffix "-ess," which often denotes a female form of a profession or title. This naming convention aligns with other characters in the *Dragon Ball* universe, such as Cell and Frieza, whose names also incorporate similar linguistic twists.

Coatess’s appearance and role in *Dragon Ball GT* are primarily limited to the anime, as she does not appear in the original manga or other official adaptations. Her inclusion in the series adds to the variety of antagonists and supporting characters within the franchise, contributing to the diverse cast encountered by the main heroes.

While Coatess is not a central figure in the *Dragon Ball* universe, her brief appearances highlight the series' tendency to introduce eccentric and visually striking characters, even in minor roles. Fans of the franchise often reference her as part of the broader lore, particularly those who enjoy the more offbeat elements of *Dragon Ball GT*.
