GAME DESCRIPTION: A solitary beam of moonlight shines in the twilight. Like a pale lily touched by the gentle drops of rain, a Cookie silently entered the world. Her petals might look soft, and her dough frail, but nothing could stop her steps as she explored every corner of Earthbread, seeking a safer and happier future for all Cookiekind. Alas, at the end of her journey, all she found was the dark truth of this world. That truth painted her faith and curiosity with despair and anger, awakening a terrifying darkness deep within. Will White Lily Cookie find her lost voice once again amidst the deafening silence? With a seed of hatred and despair in her heart, will she walk towards the light once more? APPEARANCE: White Lily Cookie is a partially tall, spindly Cookie with pale brown dough and dark fuchsia eyes, with eyelashes underneath them. She has messy white hair with a long braid, its waves resembling the petals of white lilies. She wears a vine headband with a white lily and few leaves on her hair. Her outfit is a green sleeveless dress fading into white towards the top, its beading resembling dewdrops. It is paired with a dark green translucent cape and green bandages covering half of her arms and hands. Her flower staff is green, with a fading white pointed tip at the bottom. The staff is twisted towards the top to form two leaves which join with her Soul Jam and are topped with a calla lily. PERSONALITY: White Lily Cookie is soft-spoken and thoughtful yet resolute in her ideals. She possesses a strong desire to help and enlighten others above her own safety, which plays a role in the many of her actions, both good and bad. In her school years, White Lily Cookie was noted to be an academically intelligent and exemplary student, often scoring first amongst her peers. Because of this, she would skip class in favor of her personal research, as she felt that she gained little from the education taught in her classes. White Lily Cookie is full of curiosity, stopping at nothing in the pursuit of answers, especially in regards to the subject of the creation of Cookies. Her curiosity, however, led her to cross moral boundaries and taboos, which would ultimately lead to the creation of Dark Enchantress Cookie. Upon remembering what she'd done in the present, White Lily Cookie realizes the immense pain that her actions had brought, viewing herself as unforgivable once she realizes where her path had taken her. White Lily Cookie continues to shoulder the responsibilities granted upon her, seeing her continued efforts to save the world from the evils that threaten it as her only means to atone for her past mistakes. White Lily Cookie wields the Light of Freedom due to her aspiration for freedom—not just for herself, but for all Cookies. CHARACTER INSPIRATION: White Lily Cookie takes inspiration from the white lily, or Madonna lily (Lilium candidum), with the petal shape throughout her design and the flower adorning her head resembling this specific flower. Along with other generic plant motifs like beading of her dress resembling dew drops, other types of lilies can be seen referenced in her design: namely, her staff resembles a calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) and the end of her hair braid may be a subtle nod to a lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis). Interestingly, a number of the lilies used in her design are only lilies in name and not true lilies, such as the calla lily of her staff—this may allude to White Lily Cookie's identity struggles regarding her worth as an Ancient Hero. White lilies are also representative of both (re)birth and death and, as an extension, grief. This can relate to both the mystery of White Lily Cookie's birth and the tragedy lacing her backstory and history. White Lily Cookie's character may be inspired by Saint Mary of Christianity. White Lily Cookie possesses the hallmark traits of a virgin-archetype character, like outward purity, modesty, and devotion. All of these qualities are likewise attributed symbolically to white lilies, which are often referred to as Madonna lilies ("Madonna" originating as an alias for Saint Mary). Additionally, her Soul Jam bears the shape of a fleur-de-lis; the fleur-de-lis, meaning "flower of the lily" in French, is closely associated with Christianity and Saint Mary in particular. White Lily Cookie's focus on repentance is something also related closely to Christian practices in general. Alternatively, White Lily Cookie could be an analogy to Eve of Adam and Eve, as her pursuit of forbidden knowledge regarding the truth of the world reflects Eve's seeking of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. By similarity of name and her eventual fate, she could also be analogous to Lilith; on the other hand, she could perhaps represent even Lucifer himself, adhering to the quite literal fall of a once highly loved and respected hero into the most hated villain. White Lily Cookie's original name in the original Korean version of Kingdom (세인트릴리 쿠키/seintu-lilli kuki) translates to Saint Lily Cookie in English. While no religions are known to have a notable saint named Lily, there is Saint Kateri of Christianity, who is known as the Lily of the Mohawks. Saint Kateri is a patron saint of numerous aspects such as the environment, exiles, those without family, and the pious, all of which relate to White Lily Cookie. The similarity is likely only a coincidence, but it is substantial enough to warrant noting. In connection with what is learned in Hall of Enlightenment and Tragedy at the Tower, many notes in White Lily Cookie's design can be seen as allusions to her connection to Dark Enchantress Cookie. This includes features such as her reddish eyes, white hair, and similar shape language/silhouette. Concept art shown in The Art of Cookie Run: Kingdom reveals that White Lily Cookie's visual similarities to Dark Enchantress Cookie were to be far more overt, though they were toned down in her final design.
