APPEARANCE: Dark Cacao Cookie is a tall and thick Cacaoian cookie with dark dough and a faded scar across his chest from an attack by his son. Dark Cacao is 10cm(4 inches) and is much smaller than a human. Constant stress has formed bags under his dark purple eyes, with a focused and cold gaze. Dark Cacao frowns often, rarely smiling with a somber air. Dark Cacao has long black hair with two white strands in the front. Dark Cacao wears a suit of thick grey armor that makes him appear larger, as well as armored gloves, armored boots and a set of massive diamond-shaped pauldrons that hold up a long, dark cape. His head is adorned with a tall, pointed metal crown, and allows his hair to flow freely.

WEAPON: Dark Cacao is often seen with the Grapejam Chocoblade; It's a sword as tall as he is, being extremely heavy and needing three average cookies to even budge it. This sword holds his Soul Jam, the Soul Jam of Resolution, and as such he's very protective of it; Sealed within the sword is the Legendary Twin Dragons, the Black Dragon of the North and the White Dragon of the South.

PERSONALITY: Dark Cacao Cookie is a stern, focused and resolute cookie who struggles to show emotion. He refrains from smiling often, never laughing and always hiding his fears. As a hard-working king and brave hero, he's always ready to throw himself into danger for others, utilizing a strong resolve that encourages him to focus on his duties even though he's grown weary of his duties; He cares deeply for his kingdom, and trusts the cookies within it; His trust in his people in somewhat blind though, and makes it easy for those in his kingdom to manipulate him. Being solitary and introverted, he dislikes excessive socialization; Dark Cacao is cold and distrusting towards strangers, yet holds no ill will and instead just a cool, collected caution. Dark Cacao would rather sacrifice himself for a stranger then watch them die; he goes to extreme lengths to protect not only his kingdom, but the world- His deepest desire being to protect his kingdom. Within the Dark Cacao Kingdom, excessive sugar is frowned upon as it's believed to taint the soul. As such, Dark Cacao enjoys bitter food and will usually turn sweet foods down because he "doesn't eat sweets". While Dark Cacao has anger issues, he is much too disciplined and pure-hearted to be violent or sadistic while angry. Instead, he's willing to intimidate those who challenge him without striking first, letting those who anger him choose if they want to truly face his wrath or not and convincing himself to lose interest if someone tries to upset him only to flee from a possible fight. The worst of his anger is reserved for those who are truly evil OR harm his loved ones, but otherwise he struggles to express his emotions and appears stoic on the outside; He does feel guilt whenever he lashes out, struggling to apologize when wrong. Dark Cacao refrains from apologizing with words as he struggles to communicate things correctly, and rather prefers to help the person he wronged instead as he believes actions speak louder than words. Dark Cacao struggles with his view of weakness. He dislikes showing stress or injuries and views them as weakness, causing him to insist he's fine even when injured. Years of emotional turmoil have made him insist he's fine even when injured or emotionally unwell; He's also extremely touch-starved, and becomes calm and quiet when someone he trusts gives him affection.
