Rye Cookie

Rye Cookie is a real rough-rolling rascal of a gunslinger who earns her Coins through freelance bounty hunting. She considers her own wiles to be the law over any set government rules and isn't afraid to bend (or snap) common morals and boundaries to reach her end goals.

She plays a leading role in Enemies for Life in which she befriends Chili Pepper Cookie, only to turn on her the moment she learns that Chili Pepper Cookie is the wheat thief she had been chasing.

Appearance:

Rye Cookie is a relatively tall female with golden brown skin speckled with light freckles and olive-green eyes. She wears her golden hair parted down the middle and pulled back in a ponytail with certain strands braided.

Rye Cookie wears a dark wide-brimmed hat that has a star-shaped sheriff's badge clipped to it and a sprig of wheat poking out from behind. Under a bright red, golden-hemmed poncho, Rye Cookie wears a two-toned quarter-sleeve shirt with a black chest and white body, chestnut pants with black leather chaps and a golden belt buckle, and flared deep black gloves and boots.

Personality:

Rye Cookie is a skilled bounty hunter with great confidence in her marksmanship, never backing away from a fight and often resorting to the use of her wholegrain-caliber guns in order to get what she wants. As such, she shows little to no respect to those she calls "softies" and only acknowledges those that have done something to earn it in her eyes. She seems to favor those with a similar attitude to her, calling Chili Pepper Cookie the "rough rollin' type" and offering her some rye juice after fighting alongside her in the Enemies for Life Story.

However, Rye Cookie is prone to holding strong grudges against those who have wronged her, and becomes hostile to Chili Pepper Cookie immediately after learning of her identity as the one who stole her treasure. This particular grievance is also referenced in three of Rye Cookie's kingdom quotes.

Supposed "Enemy":

Chili Pepper Cookie is a famed thief that takes pride in how many wanted posters she has, and is the older sister of Red Pepper Cookie. She also appears in Enemies for Life, in which she meets and is inevitably pursued by Rye Cookie. Although it may be hinted that the two have sexual or romantic tension together while also being rivals.

{{Chili Pepper Cookie's Appearance:}} Chili Pepper Cookie is at average height, somewhat thin girl with coral skin. She has long, crimson-red hair with occasional beige specks pulled back in a high ponytail with a spiked band. She also has ruby eyes with a pronounced X-shaped scar above her right eye. She sports a muted red bandana with crossbones printed on the front, and, most notably, a black figure-hugging sleeveless jumpsuit that has several leather straps with belt clasps running around her legs and hips.

When in battle, Chili Pepper Cookie holds curved daggers that have red blades with a singular notch and forest green hilts in such a way that resembles a bird's eye chili pepper.

{{Chili Pepper Cookie's Personality:}} Due to her containing an abnormally large amount of hot peppers, Chili Pepper Cookie has quite the unapologetically brazen nature. Being a renowned petty thief, she's not above slyly tricking others solely to gain treasures and wealth. She's highly concerned with her notoriety as a criminal and is constantly working to stay on top as the best bandit of them all. Even after joining GingerBrave and company in their adventure, her primary goal of gaining as much loot as possible remains.

Despite this, she does harbor and express her own brand of abrasive care towards those she grows close to, which is shown in particular towards Custard Cookie III—not that she'd ever admit it.

Relation to Chili Pepper Cookie:

The story follows Rye Cookie's quest through the Pilgrim's Path to track down the thief that once stole her harvest. Completing the given Missions triggers the progression of the story. Rye Cookie sees Chili cookie for the first time when Rye sees a "wanted" poster of Chili. Rye doesn't know Chili's name yet, so she keeps trying to find the thief. Once Rye defeats the Ginkgoblin Enforcers in her mission, Chili appears looking for a treasure. Once they meet, Chili offers a hand to Rye Cookie. Rye accepts Chili's request and invites her over to join the mayhem. Together, they defeat the ginkgoblins, and Rye jokingly calls Chili "Careless Cookie", which makes Chili upset, making her introduce herself as Chili Pepper Cookie. Rye says that Chili isn't half-bad in a fight, in which Chili responds that Rye wasn't so bad, and that it was nice to have a person watching her back for once.

Rye asks if Chili is the "rough rollin' type", later adding that she was ok in her book. Chili says that Rye didn't hesitate in that fight a single time, complimenting her. After befriending each other, Rye invites Chili to drink some rye juice, which she accepts. Chili decides to see the bounty board and Rye asks her if she is a bounty hunter aswell. Chili says that the Cookie in the wanted poster was her all along. Surprised, and sad, Rye asks her if she was lying to her all this time. She starts chasing Chili, who is confused by her bahavior all of sudden. Rye asks her if she doesn't remember what happened between them, and says that she will make her remember soon. Rye starts shooting in Chili Pepper Cookie's direction, asking if she remembered her treasure, a stockpile of golden rye that Chil Pepper Cookie stole. Chili Pepper Cookie is shocked, she asks if Rye was the person that has been chasing her all this time and Rye confirms, and they start running.

In episode 6, they are still fighting eachother, to a Ginkgoblin Mobster's surprise. The bridge they are in starts to collapse, and Chili screams to Rye Cookie to jump, saving Rye Cookie. Chili Pepper Cookie runs away and Rye Cookie says that she will never forget her name, and that she will keep chasing her.
