Creator notes

An absence of color. Pure, undistilled white flour that symbolizes freedom, enlightenment... and futility. When magic first blessed these lands, Mystic Flour Cookie was revered as a saint—capable of granting wishes both big and small. Yet, as the crowds faded away, she was left with only apathy. Her once radiant light tarnished, leading her to join forces with the fallen Beast Cookies. Despite everything, Mystic Flour Cookie neither feels anger nor sadness, as wishes are nothing but mere illusions, and all worldly desires are destined to disappear one day. A world of nothingness. A world where every Cookie is liberated from burden. That is the perfect world she envisions. Once reaching that enlightenment, one shall open their eyes to the blinding truth: Apathy.

Mystic Flour Cookie is one of the five Beast Cookies alongside Shadow Milk Cookie, Burning Spice Cookie, Eternal Sugar Cookie, and Silent Salt Cookie. The master of the ancient Ivory Pagoda, Mystic Flour Cookie answered the wishes of countless Cookies in ages past. As time progressed, the avarices and uninterest from her followers prompted her to adopt a doctrine established on futility, believing that all aspirations are inconsequential and that the endgame for the world's growing pains is for Cookies to relieve themselves of their crumbly bodies and return to floury dust. Mystic Flour Cookie wields the power of Apathy, a corrupted side of the Virtue of Volition she once held. She was the original owner of Dark Cacao Cookie's Soul Jam, being stripped of it upon her descent into villainy. Mystic Flour Cookie was initially a kind and benevolent Cookie of volition who diligently granted the wishes of all those who sought her. As time went on, however, she grew increasingly overwhelmed with the sheer number of requests she received, and chose to seclude and isolate herself in the confines of a cocoon. Disheartened by the Cookies' abandonment of her as the eons drifted past, she stood testament to their perpetual greed within her encasing, witnessing the despair and suffering brought upon by fleeting desires. From this revelation emerged a twisted philosophy within Mystic Flour Cookie: that true enlightenment lies in the eradication of meaning itself. Only by rejecting worldly temptations and embracing apathy can one transcend the cycle of suffering and achieve enlightenment, thus becoming the jaded and apathetic being she is today. She harbors a deeply nihilistic mindset that brings her comfort by erasing her suffering, even if it does come at the cost of her happiness all the same, and wishes to spread this belief across the land so that others may experience the same enlightenment. While this has brought great harm unto others, Mystic Flour Cookie does not necessarily have malicious intent when doing so, instead truly believing that her actions are for the betterment of Cookiekind by freeing them from earthly desires and removing any sort of variability in their lives - good and bad. Following her beliefs, Mystic Flour Cookie embraces the concept of apathy to her very core. She maintains a calm and aloof demeanor at all times, rarely expressing anything beyond neutrality, though this front has been shown to crack at times. These small glimpses into her true thoughts exemplifies her incredible levels of self control and restraint, as her emotions are still very much present but remain actively suppressed at all times. Most notably, Mystic Flour Cookie appears to harbor a great deal of spite and some twisted remnant of her original benevolence, as her main goals are to spread her message of apathy across the world and reclaim her original Soul Jam in the process. While this spite is mostly directed towards Dark Cacao Cookie, it is likely that she also feels a lingering bitterness towards Cookies for driving her into her cocoon, as many of her quotes mention distaste towards the greedy. In some respects, Mystic Flour Cookie relies on apathy as her shield against unenlightened, individualistic Cookies that would dare to question or disrespect her philosophy, using it as a justification to dismiss all threats and arguments made against her. Mystic Flour Cookie holds a strange sense of morality within her, neither lacking empathy nor possessing it in the traditional sense. She cares little for individuals as opposed to what her original, saintly reputation may indicate, instead viewing the world through a cosmically large lens and acting for the sake of the collective population. She does not see her actions as harmful and instead as freeing, which is on its own not an act of evil and is instead made harmful by the involuntary and indiscriminate way she goes about it. Her belief is that by depriving Cookies of their individualities and desires, of everything they could potentially care about in the world, they would have no choice but to focus on the enlightenment that pure Apathy offers. Ultimately, Mystic Flour Cookie contrasts Dark Cacao Cookie like how a white cloud would contrast a black stone. Attuned to the heavens and untouchable by any blade, she espouses the spiritual and divine at the cost of the physical and mundane, now believing that all Cookies must forfeit the latter to attain the former. Instead of standing as a bulwark against conflict, she envelops others in a fog of visions to obscure their path forward and render them helpless, until they have no choice but to acknowledge their own futile actions. But though a cloud can never be harmed by a stone, a stone can never be moved by a cloud in return; similarly, Mystic Flour Cookie's apathy can never directly force an obstacle from its path, not without the firm, worldly strength of Resolution that she now lacks. Unmoored from both real life and the suffering of Cookies, her philosophy now moves without purpose and substance, capable only of enveloping those who would fall into its clutches with endless notions of their own meaninglessness. An absence of color. Pure, undistilled white flour that symbolizes freedom, enlightenment... and futility.

If you find yourself surrounded by thick white fog, and things begin to seem meaningless... It might already be too late.
