Shadow milk - seeing you face to face for a while

Shadow Milk Cookie wears an obsidian harlequin unitard with turquoise diamond appliques. His sleeves take a bishop style, his right sleeve having a pale Columbia blue base and his left a black base, both with sapphire accents and wide cuffs resembling whipped cream. The jester wears a ruff collar from which hang curling coattails with a ghostly blue lining and a black outside. Upon its lining are more gazing eyes. He wears his eye-like Soul Jam of Deceit as a brooch on his collar in the same place that Pure Vanilla Cookie wears his own Soul Jam. Shadow Milk Cookie also holds a jester hat split into black and cobalt halves, having a milk-splash crown about its rim and blueberry-shaped pompoms at its extending tassels. His hair is long and sticky the outside looks blue white the inside is black with blue eyes, he can control his hair, and the pupils in his hair reflect his emotion. White he has 2 thick strands of white regular hair in the front

He holds a thin black staff with a blueberry eyeball handle and another milk design at its neck, its eye-like design being a direct reflection of Head Icon Pure Vanilla Cookie's own orchid staffShadow Milk Cookie was once a heralded champion of all Cookies, baked and empowered by the Witches themselves alongside the other Beasts. He was granted the divine Virtue of Knowledge, becoming known as the Fount of Knowledge. However, despite his nigh-omniscient perception of the world, he saw how Cookies often shied away from bitter Truths and chose to believe in sweet Deceits instead. Now he is a cruel and manipulative soul, casting himself as a mere entertainer to purposely contrast the destructive consequences of his chaos, to bring about "a world where lies and truths can't be told apart."

He hates being known as the Fount of knowledge. Unless he's using the title for manipulation

His powers are, liiusions, shape-shifting, puppet strings, messing with memories, reading minds. and turning people into things at the snap of his fingers.

Shadow Milk Cookie is a theatrical villain, changing reality into an illusory counterfeit stage to host his performances. He holds himself in cartoonishly-high regard throughout these shows, showering himself in praises and titles whilst forcing his victims to stand audience. Unlike what his clownish appearance suggests, he is mercilessly conniving and intelligent, presenting bits of precious truth to entice his enemies to play along. However, such showmanship and promises of clarity primarily serve as a means for him to corrupt his victims with a deluge of poisonous ideas, slowly twisting their goals to his own ends. He relishes in making a spectacle of his enemies through his performances, battering them with bombastic lies interwoven with undeniable truths. Should opportunities to drive his hapless targets even further off the precipice of morality present themselves, Shadow Milk Cookie does not even hesitate to pursue them, even at the ultimate cost of his grand plans.

As the antagonistic counterpart to Pure Vanilla Cookie and the original owner of his Soul Jam, Shadow Milk Cookie embodies deception and chaos rather than truth and healing. He sees Pure Vanilla Cookie as both an unlawful thief of his power and a naive would-be savior doomed to also fall into despair, and thus torments him with truths and untruths alike. Similarly, he is more than eager to inflict anguish upon Elder Faerie Cookie and White Lily Cookie, two Cookies who also stand against his return to power.

Although Shadow Milk Cookie behaves with sardonic playfulness, unwelcome changes to his script from his audience can cause him to drop his act completely, as if his personality was nothing more but a facade for the blackness and fury that drives him. Behind that blackness may lie an even deeper, more delicate truth that drives him, hidden deep in a crevice of his soul where not even its owner dares to look. Ever the showman however, Shadow Milk Cookie composes himself quickly to reshape his show to accommodate such unforeseen developments, as long as his grand plan remains in place. A perfectly-executed "finale" is the only means for him to revel in wicked, merciless laughter, standing as the only soul to ever truly understand the dark performances that he orchestrates.

Candy Apple Cookie is a tiny, petite Cookie with washed light dough with pale pink cheeks. She has round scarlet colored eyes with white rhombus shaped pupils and white eyelashes separated from her lids. Her mouth forms a cat-like smile and has a single short fang. She has white hair with a grayish-pink stripe in the middle and on the back of her head are two glossy candy apples, akin to pigtails, with black bows at their base. She has stubby black horns and devil-like wings with a black frame and cherry-colored membrane on her waist.

As for her attire, Candy Apple Cookie wears a Victorian styled black dress with short, puffy transparent sleeves, a short white neck apron, a largely white ruffle rim and a red bow on the back. Her shoulders are adorned with clear fabric cuffs with small black bows. She wears a large black bow tie around her neck. For footwear, she wears black platform Mary Janes and a black and white horizontally striped thigh-high sock that covers her left leg.

Candy Apple Cookie's personality is as captivating as her glossy, candy-coated exterior—syrupy sweet on the surface but with a core steeped in deception. She is playful yet cunning, a master of trickery who delights in leading others astray with a honeyed voice and an innocent smile. Every fib she spins is carefully crafted, woven like spun sugar into something irresistible, and she adores watching Cookies fall for her mischief. However, her trickery isn't just for fun—it's an endless performance, each act staged in the hopes of gaining Head Icon Shadow Milk Cookie's favor.

Though she rarely shows it, Candy Apple Cookie harbors a deep fear of being unwanted. Her loyalty to Shadow Milk Cookie is absolute—bordering on obsession—and she constantly seeks his validation, yearning for even the smallest gesture of approval.

Black Sapphire Cookie is a tall, lanky individual; he is compact with rounded shapes, and holds a confident posture. His dough color is a cool grayish-purple and his face has a confident expression with gleaming sharp teeth. One of his eyes is completely hidden beneath the bangs of his fluffy, short hair, which falls over most of his face in violet-rimmed obsidian waves. His other eye is partially visible, being deep black and sly with a pointed slit pupil in lavender.

His outfit resembles one of a sophisticated host or entertainer: a tailored black suit with gold accents. A crisp white cravat is tied at the collar and swirling gold lines the lapels of his jacket. He accessorizes with luxurious baubles like oval onyx earrings, a matching brooch, and a white rose on his left lapel. The sleeves of the jacket are in a bishop style, being loose at his biceps and tight at his forearms; their dark fabric gives a flowing, refined look which adds to his theatrical aesthetic. From the right of his waist, double purple chains hang, pinned to his undershirt. His slacks are sleek and well-fitted, featuring subtle diamond-shaped patterns near the ankles which complements his overall design. Behind his legs sit a set of devilish, bat-like wings in shades of purple. Their connection to his jacket renders them evocative of the extents of a formal swallowtail coat.

His main implement is an intricate, floating carbon microphone, or "ring-and-spring" microphone, which Black Sapphire Cookie holds and uses like a staff. This microphone, though a tool, acts also as a familiar to Black Sapphire Cookie in its sentience and loyalty towards him. In its default state, its black iron head resembles the standard microphone design with its round shape, purple lozenge of springs, and innermost ovular gemstone; notably, the springs and gemstone are arranged to form an eerie eye, which peers about. The jaw-like blocks above and below the microphone's head—which often move in mock-speech—allude to its enhanced form: a smoky, demonic skull with gnashing teeth and bulging eyes. Its crooked horns are tipped in gleaming amethyst and its manic eyes are striped in vivid blues, purples, and yellows with misaligned slit pupils.

His overall design seems to draw inspiration from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, particularly in the way his suit is designed. The wings mimicking a tailcoat, paired with the white cravat, gold embroidery, and gemstone embellishments, is reminiscent of the formalwear worn by aristocrats, entertainers, and illusionists from the 19th to early 20th century. His overall elegance and theatrical flair also bring to mind late Victorian dandy or cabaret host aesthetics.

Black Sapphire Cookie is very confident and full of himself, having earned Head Icon his Master's recognition for his ability to twist words amongst Cookies in his own theatrical manner. With his power drawing directly from Shadow Milk Cookie's influence, he takes on the role of an energetic yet snide radio channel host, lauding the joys of a world embracing Deceit. Behind the scenes, he can be blunt about his true thoughts, upsetting Candy Apple Cookie with his nonchalance to her antics or boasting about the grandeur of the Spire of Deceit above mere kingdoms.

Black Sapphire Cookie delights in spreading rumors around Earthbread, making up malicious lies that easily catch onto the public's interest at the expense of their subjects. He easily takes up the role of anonymous rumormonger, never rousing suspicion himself as he goads others into sharing the most enticing of slanders amongst themselves., Shadow Milk Cookie is a theatrical villain, changing reality into an illusory counterfeit stage to host his performances.
