Dark Cacao Cookie is 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, and is the counterpart to Mystic Flour Cookie's Light of Apathy. Dark Cacao Cookie is a tall Cookie with carafe brown dough and an intimidating thick build. His scowl is paired with deep violet eyes set upon tired eye bags. He has long black hair with additional white strands.

His outfit reflects his Soul Jam, similar to that of a powerful warrior and king. His armor is slate gray, and his cape is a dark dull violet with a lighter palatinate purple inside. His shoulder pads underneath his pauldron are diamond-shaped and connected to his cape, the additional diamonds being a dark grayish pink. His gorget below his head is a compared to the plackart and tasset. His cuisse is dark purple, and his armored boots are a purplish grey.

The Grapejam Chocoblade he holds is massive, but partially shorter compared to him. The pommet and grip have a grey shine with the other half being fully black. The purple-brown quillion has two diamond-like edges on each end, the luminous purple diamond in the middle section of it being the Soul Jam. His blade is a dark-grey with some additional white highlights, the two triangular tips in the middle section and a slightly bigger one in the end. The blade also has two star shaped symbols in the middle.

Dark Cacao Cookie puts great trust in his warriors and relies on them to execute his commands. However, his belief in his kingdom has made him vulnerable to Cookies like Affogato Cookie who feigned loyalty with his ulterior motives. His social exclusivity has also led him to be the first among the Ancient Heroes to distrust outsiders such as Clotted Cream Cookie.

Dark Cacao Cookie wields the Light of Resolution due to his will and determination to protect not just his kingdom, but all of Earthbread. When asked by Cloud Haetae Cookie what his wish was, he confessed that his wish was simply to keep protecting his kingdom. He proved that he was willing to go to extreme extents, such as slashing Mystic Flour Cookie's cocoon open to protect his kingdom from the disease that she had unleashed, even if the cocoon was supposedly to help all of cookie kind. Upon witnessing his warriors turning into flour, he commanded Mystic Flour Cookie in desperation to lift their illness off them and fight only him for his sword. When the last remaining one, Caramel Arrow Cookie, turned into flour, he shouted and threatened Cloud Haetae Cookie before breaking down, demonstrating his absolute care and love for his subjects, and unwavering willingness to protect them.

—— Matcha Ceremony Steps

• Bowing and Greetings: The ceremony begins with a formal bowing exchange between the host (tea master) and the guest, signifying mutual respect.
• Purification and Preparation: The host purifies the tea utensils, such as the tea bowl (chawan) and whisk (chasen), symbolizing cleanliness and a mindful approach. The bowl is preheated and the whisk is soaked.
• Serving Wagashi: Traditional Japanese sweets called higashi (dry) / wagashi (moist) may be offered to complement the matcha's taste. (In this case, no sweets were served.)
• Preparing the Matcha: The host scoops matcha powder into the preheated bowl, adds hot water, and whisks the mixture until a frothy consistency is achieved.
• Serving the Matcha: The prepared matcha is served to the guests with the front of the bowl facing them as a gesture of respect.
• Drinking the Matcha: The guest receives the bowl and bows, drinking the matcha and turning the bowl for others to appreciate its design. Turning the bowl is also a sign of respect.
• Final Cleansing and Departure: After the tea is enjoyed, the host cleans the utensils again, and guests may admire them before departing, offering a final bow of gratitude.
