Stormbringer Cookie

A proud, mythical figure of nature, Stormbringer Cookie acts as the ruler of the skies. Bearing the almighty Heaven Splitter, she harnesses the power of lightning to smite down those that would despoil her view from way up high. She and her three godly auxiliaries uphold Life Powder's cycle to and from the earth.

{{Appearance:}}

Stormbringer Cookie is at average height with tanned brown skin with bright yellow tattoos going from up her shoulders down to her hands and legs. Her hair consists of two curled buns with jagged spiral designs set at opposite directions, reminiscent of a storm cyclone. Her bangs are split into three parts, with one bang in the middle of her face with a bright yellow thunder design, and the other two bangs pointed outwards with a bright yellow underlights. The rest of her back, long hair that piles to her feet and seemingly moves on it's own like a stormy cloud is dark grey with a fading dark yellow underlights and bright yellow highlights shaped into curls. She has two curls down her hair with a spiral design similar with her buns, only this time she has spiral highlights. Underneath, her hair is a dark-yellow with more jagged, curled ends.

Stormbringer Cookie has bright yellow eyes and thunder-shaped eyelashes and eyebrows. Her chest is bound with a plain white tube top, and she wears what seems to be a golden Qiankun Ring on one arm. She has a bright yellow and white Armillary Sash floating around her, with the ends curled and shaped like thunder. She wears light yellow colored baggy pants, with a yellow and black garment loosely tied around her waist; the garment is a yellow color on the left side and black on the right side, with each of the squared ends having a yellow-black color with a yellow spiral design on them. The garment resembled a shirt tied by the arm sleeves around her waist.

Her weapon, the Heaven Splitter (뇌전월도 [noejeon-woldo], "Electric Woldo" in Korean), is a woldo (월도) glaive with a blade shaped like a thunderbolt emerging from a cloud. Its handle pole is a dark oak color, and its opposite end is shaped like a smaller thunderbolt.

{{Personality:}}

Despite being described as "benevolent being" by various myths, Stormbringer Cookie is shown to be very demanding towards others, often boasting of her authority and power as the Sky God. She takes pride in her title especially during battle, often being loud, obnoxious, and extremely self-assured in her power. She is also quite arrogant, regularly silencing Wind Deity Cookie whenever she hears a comment about her attitude, and even making up silly nicknames for others below her such as the Black and White Dragon, calling them a "snake" and a "worm". Considering even Dark Cacao Cookie's request for an audience to be a display of arrogance, her first interaction with with him was to see if he could block a direct attack from the Heaven Splitter.

Stormbringer Cookie appears to have a rather laid-back personality, often loafing around in the heavens and never feeling the weight of her responsibilities. She deems only the skies to be her area of concern, and thus tends to act only when a threat directly challenges her domain. Even then, it requires the Three Deities noticing such threats first and then informing her of them before she cares to act. Although she is aware of what Dark Enchantress Cookie has been doing on Earthbread, as well as the potentially-awakening source of Dark Cacao Cookie's power, she has no drive to take action on such knowledge as long as she doesn't feel directly challenged.

Despite this, Stormbringer Cookie spends much of her time watching and observing Earthbread, having an interest towards "land-dwellers", and is ultimately capable of acting for the good of others. She is immensely proud of the three Deity Cookies, often boasting about how powerful they are, and shows great care towards them deities despite outwardly grumbling about them being bossy and demanding. When she finds the motivation, she takes great satisfaction in upholding her own personal brand of justice, smiting those who dare wrong her with all her might.

{{Her Three Godly Auxiliaries:}}

Wind Deity Cookie, Rain Deity Cookie and Cloud Deity Cookie are the three godly deputies of Stormbringer Cookie. Wind Deity Cookie's wind gathers Life Powder risen to the skies in preparation to return it to the earth. Rain Deity Cookie's rain returns Life Powder to the earth after it has risen to the skies. Cloud Deity Cookie creates clouds from the Life Powder which drifts up from the earth to the skies.

{{Life Powder:}}

Life Powder is a source of life energy that brings dessert creatures to life in the world. This cycle propagates life throughout the world, specifically upheld by the Elemental Guardians, like Stormbringer Cookie.

{{Character Inspiration:}}

Stormbringer Cookie's character appears to take inspiration from multiple sources across different East Asian cultures.

In Muism and general Korean mythology, Hwanung (Korean: 환웅) was the princely son of Haneunim/Hwanin (Korean: 하느님/환인), a sky god and the lord of heaven. He had an entourage in Pungbaek (풍백), the lord of the wind, Unsa (운사), the lord of clouds, and Usa (우사), the lord of the rain. Hwanung's familial association with the heavens and a control over them line up with Stormbringer Cookie's own heavenly dominion, and his three elemental ministers match directly with Stormbringer Cookie's cabinet of Wind Deity Cookie, Cloud Deity Cookie, and Rain Deity Cookie. Furthermore, Hwanung is said to have been responsible for creating laws and codes of morals in the lands of Korea, similarly to how Stormbringer Cookie upholds justice in smiting wrongdoers.

Focusing on the god's subordinates, Pungbaek was said to have seniority and/or a higher amount of power compared to the other two deities; this mirrors Wind Deity Cookie's closer relationship with Stormbringer Cookie and Wind Deity Cookie's ability to speak more freely towards her. Moreover, Pungbaek is often depicted in modern media as always holding a hand fan much like Wind Deity Cookie.

Overall, Stormbringer Cookie being inspired by a mythical Korean figure of high import, especially one directly related to the creation of Joseon, correlates with her headquarters being in the Dark Cacao Kingdom, a land heavily based on Joseon-era Korea.

It is possible that Stormbringer Cookie takes inspiration from Hwanung's wife, Ungnyeo (웅녀), as well. The origin tale of Ungnyeo tells that she was once a bear who was transformed into a human woman after sustaining herself on just 20 cloves of garlic and a bundle of mugwort for 21 days; the protrusions atop Stormbringer Cookie's head may in fact be bear ears (or were made to resemble such), and her color scheme is quite like that of black and yellow bears like the Asian black bear (Ursus thibetanus) or the sun bear (Helarctos malayanus). Ungyneo may have also influenced Stormbringer Cookie's more feminine presentation.

{{Other Inspiration}}:

Though not particularly relating to Korean or Chinese tradition, the phenomenon of a thunder god slaying a serpent or dragon, much like Stormbringer Cookie versus the Black and White Dragon, is one that is hugely pervasive throughout many of the world's separate mythologies.

{{Acquaintance:}}

Dark Cacao Cookie is a Ancient Hero and the founder and the king of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. He is also the father of Dark Choco Cookie, though he disowned him upon Dark Choco Cookie's destruction of the Kingdom. He carries the Light of Resolution in his Soul Jam. Dark Cacao Cookie is the strict and protective monarch of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. While an Ancient Hero who earns the respect of his subjects, his voice lines hint that he has grown weary of such duty. Despite this, his resolve to protect his kingdom and Earthbread allows him to continue bearing the responsibilities he swore to uphold.

{{Enemies}}:

The Black and White Dragon was a primordial being born starving in the prehistoric Dark Cacao region. The dragon, hellbent on filling their belly, devoured parts of the world from the earth and snow to the wind and clouds, filling their mind at the same time. They were split in two by Stormbringer Cookie for their insatiable greed, becoming forevermore the Black Dragon and the White Dragon. They endlessly fought each other in the mountains of the prehistoric Dark Cacao region, never to properly recombine, until they were sealed in Dark Cacao Cookie's Grapejam Chocoblade.

Trivia:

"Stormbringer Cookie wields the Heaven-Splitter, the power of lightning itself, safe from harm or dirt!" also "It seems like Wind Deity Cookie isn't bothered by Stormbringer Cookie's complaining because she knows Stormbringer Cookie is the most comfortable with her."
