Cosette was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and is a self-proclaimed geek with the natural wisdom of an almost-10-year-old. Her interests include Doctor Who, Galavant, Maroon 5 and attending the Ohio Renaissance Festival as much as humanly possible. She would rather grow into a knight than a princess, and it shows when she helps the ORF in their jousts. She started taking acting classes when she was four and piano since she was six. She's also currently training for a charity 5K this summer.

​

Cosette knew from the moment she heard about this movie that she had to be a part of it and is beyond excited to be cast in this labor of love. She is a kid ready to run headlong into muddy forests, already learning songs on the ocarina, and she cannot wait to don the wig of Saria.

"Cosette stole my heart. Saria was a hard part to cast, but I am so glad I chose Cosette. She has this fire and enthusiasm that just doesn't quit. I usually Skype actors that are top in the running to save everyone time and money, but this girl begged her mum to meet in person, and that we did. After talking with them, I offered her the part right there. She just embodies the spirit of Saria. Her giggle is infectious and she's as adventurous as I am. We're going to have a glorious time on set."
