---WHITE LILY---

Why are Cookies baked so sweet, yet so fragile...? White Lily Cookie's story began with a question. On her way to the greater world full of wonder and mystery—to the place that held the answer—she encountered many more. Yet on this same path guided by curiosity, she made countless missteps and faced mistakes that could never be mended nor forgiven. In the end, cruel truth and darkness awaited White Lily Cookie... But was it the end? A delicate blossom of hope in the dark held new questions within. What does it mean to be a Cookie? Can Cookies truly be happy in this world? There are still truths to be brought to light, and White Lily Cookie rises again, her banner proud. Her dough may break and shatter, yet she will keep taking steps towards the place where Freedom dwells.

----HOLLYBERRY---

"Sound the charge!" With her trusty shield aloft, Hollyberry Cookie's mighty presence alone can instill courage and confidence on the battlefield. In the past, not only did she unite the ever-squabbling Berry Houses, but she was also always be the first to extend a friendly hand, earning the Hollyberrians' unconditional trust and respect. And yet, no matter how strong the hero is, no one can carry the crushing weight of responsibility alone. Little by little, her heart, hidden behind the steel of her shield, began to show cracks until there was no other option left but to run away. But even so, Hollyberry Cookie's will to protect her dear ones never faded. Clad in her new armor, the hero raises her shield once again. Begin the battle song! Hollyberry Cookie has returned.

---DARK CACAO---Once, a lone sovereign's head bowed in despair behind the impenetrable walls of his castle. Shrouded in darkness, his past was riddled with trials and tribulations—challenges that would have crumbled ordinary Cookies. Enemies tried to infiltrate the walls, greedy hands sought the crown, and even his own son betrayed him. Despite his bitter and destitute life, two things never lost their shine: his pride as a ruler and his resolve, pitch dark as obsidian. Even when his dough crumbled from scaling the rocky mountains, even when he lost everything and everyone dear to him, his resolution remained unwavering and true. Now, he stands stronger than ever, commanding the two dragons that resting(sic) on his shoulders. This Cookie does not cower behind walls. He stands tall and regal, revered by his loyal subjects. His sword is raised high in triumph, sworn to protect the Cookie world, and his name is none other than… Dark Cacao Cookie.---PURE VANILLA---What is the Truth? Long ago, Pure Vanilla Cookie picked up his trusty staff and set off on a pilgrimage to find an answer to this question. Having left behind the careless days in the idyllic pastures and the trials of the Sugar-Free Road, Pure Vanilla Cookie was left face to face with his fears and regrets. In the moment of the greatest doubt, the Cookie of Truth gave in to the dark abyss of Deceit. And yet... the voices of dear friends awakened him. Having embraced his flaws and mistakes, Pure Vanilla Cookie could find his way back to the light once more. The path ahead is hard and full of peril, but it is nothing more than a sum of little steps. And in those steps dwells the Truth. --GOLDEN CHEESE--

What palm can hold every grain of sand without spilling a single one? This question has long haunted Golden Cheese Cookie. Many have doubted her dreams and desires over the years. To others, she was always a Cookie fretting over trinkets, boasting, bluffing, and stubbornly grasping onto her spear, unable to let go. And yet... Time over time, armed with boundless ambition alone, this Cookie managed to shift tides in her favor, greedily turning her most daring fantasies into reality against impossible odds. Now, Golden Cheese Cookie's wings have carried her onto even greater heights, her golden radiance shining as brightly as her heart. May your name go down in history, O Radiant Queen!

Appearance: --GOLDEN CHEESE--Awakened Golden Cheese Cookie is a Cookie with dark brown dough, curly yellow hair, and cheese yellow eyes with white lashes. Under each of her eyes are three turquoise spikes. She wields a gold, turquoise, and red spear shaped like a pair of wings on one end, and fans out slightly on the other. Her elegant wings are reminiscent of a bird's, except gold and turquoise with a semi-transparent, yellow edge.

She wears a turquoise wesekh with a thick golden rim and golden gems on it, along with a beige robe and a golden belt around her waist. Furthermore, she also wears a golden headdress, which holds the Light of Abundance, that has two gold, turquoise, and red wings attached, a pair of triangular gold and turquoise earrings, a golden bracelet on her right arm, and turquoise bands with golden rims on her legs. As she gains stars, a golden ring appears behind her and golden spikes under her wings. Finally, attached to her robe are two long, curly tufts the same color as her hair.--DARK CACAO--Dark Cacao Cookie's Dragon Lord outfit displays a distinct motif of duality in black and white. As expected of myeonbok (Korean: 면복), he wears a myeonlyugwan imperial crown (Korean Hangul: 면류관; Korean Hanja: 冕旒冠) with seven beaded lines—two in the front corners and five along the back. The board of his crown is fashioned after a thick bar of chocolate to hearken back to the Dark Cacao Kingdom.

The Grapejam Chocoblade he holds is still massive, but slightly shorter than him, with some very noticeable changes. The hilt of the sword now has a white four sided gem embedded into it. The guard of the sword resembles two halves of an Oreo cookie, one half being white, the other half being black, both of the halves' circular sides face upwards. The in-between point of the oreo halves of the sword which houses Dark Cacao Cookie's Soul Jam has a circle that is colored black and white to parallel the colors of the sides of the guard. The blade of the Grapejam Chocoblade has two sets of serrated "teeth" and the blade is evenly divided into white and black.--PURE VANILLA--Pure Vanilla Cookie in his Compassionate form remains a sandy-doughed Cookie of average height and build. As always, his single-lashed eyes are often closed in reverence and lie upon rosy cheeks, though they exhibit a dual tone of daisy yellow and pale blue when opened. The terracotta mark upon his forehead has blossomed from a diamond to a full starburst—it is indicative of his expanded understanding. He often wears a small smile, choosing to be happy in spite of the terrible truths to which he fell as the Truthless Recluse. His hair, once shaped like orchid petals, has grown since his transformation and flows to his feet in cornsilk waves.--HOLLYBERRY--Awakened, Hollyberry Cookie's hair flows down her back in large, volumes fading from a heavy to light pink. On one side of her hair is a large braid of bubbles reminiscent of her original hair bobs, tied together with golden bindings. She wears a maroon helmet smithed with two large feather-patterned wings that spread from the sides of the helm, with a similar pair of wings folded upwards at the back of the helm. On the top of the helm is an engraved shield with a heart on it, encircled by a golden pattern reminiscent of a wreath. A sharp white heart-shaped "V" dips down to the middle of her eyes.

Her maroon breastplate is engraved with a similar combination of wing motifs, shields, and hearts, bound by a black and gold top and a corset of diagonal belts. Her arms are wrapped in red cloth with white borders, and her hands wear golden gauntlets sporting red hearts, with her right shoulder pauldron and armor boots also sharing their aesthetic. Dark-maroon body-hugging clothes cover most of her lower body--WHITE LILY--White Lily Cookie (Dawnbringer) has pale brown dough, a spindly build, dark fuchsia eyes with eyelashes underneath them. Her white petal hair is now looser and messier, flowing in the wind with her now much shorter braid. The ends of her hair turn from white to burnt-gray, with a lily that's halfway to ashes holding her braid. She wears a silver tiara with the front resembling wings and a fleur-de-lis, it having a diamond-shaped red gem and a lighter green gem. An even tinier, upside-down, darker green fleur-de-lis hangs at the bottom of the tiara. She wears a green and white sleeveless princess dress fading into a white at the top with beading that resembles a dew, and hips folds resembling leaves. She wears a silver breastplate, silver leggings, a pair of angelic, ivory wings, and silver bracelets on her arms and hands. Her Lily Staff now has a pair of white wings joined with her Soul Jam—now glowing radiantly and having brighter outlines—and the flower is longer, with a long, shiny, green-and-yellow flag with a yellow emblem in the shape of her Soul Jam
