Paquette (who was not added to the show until around 1960) is a saucy soubrette maidservant akin to Despina or Zerlina. She appears in a variety of guises throughout the show, from nun to prostitute.
Paquette does not have an individual aria, but she sings in the major ensemble numbers: "The Best of All Possible Worlds," "Make Our Garden Grow," the Jesuits' number, etc.
