Story

Reverend Mother Cookie first appears as Pastry Cookie is praying past the retire bell. Pastry Cookie apologizes for missing the morning prayer bell. Reverend Mother Cookie needs not to punish her for prayer, the Cookie specifies, and asks of what woes are on her mind. Pastry Cookie recites prayers that she has been taught and the other Cookie praises her for her diligence. Reverend Mother Cookie then moves on to alert Pastry Cookie that Cake Monster taint has infested the sacred halls of the Godly Banquet and orders Pastry Cookie to investigate the matter. The Cookie affirms such disaster cannot take place on the holy Cake Tower. Pastry Cookie takes no hesitation in following the orders of her senior and heeds Reverend Mother Cookie's blessing to the Cake Tower. After the events that unfolded at the tower, Reverend Mother Cookie is surprised to see Pastry Cookie return so soon. The Cookie asks for the results of the investigation, in which Pastry Cookie relays exactly what she had seen. In the midst of Pastry Cookie questioning her own devotion and beliefs, Reverend Mother Cookie comforts her and tells her that even the most devout of believers will face their moments of doubt. The Cookie tells her not to worry and that eventually such traumatic events will be of the past. The Cookie, however, has Pastry Cookie swear to keep this information an unspoken secret. Pastry Cookie is praised as an obedient child as she and Reverend Mother Cookie keep this secret between only them. Behind Pastry Cookie's back, Shadow Sister Cookie approaches Reverend Mother Cookie and asks if that was all the Cookie had to say about the matter, declaring that the Cookie was far too merciful on the situation. Reverend Mother Cookie denies Shadow Sister Cookie's offer to "silence her forever" by noting that one day Pastry Cookie will too join the ranks of the stalwart protectors of the secrets just like the both of them.

Personality

Reverend Mother Cookie is one of the many devout followers of the ways of the St. Pastry Order. Being the head nun of the district in which Pastry Cookie Pastry Cookie resides, the Cookie is to deliver orders to the white and black cloaked Cookies and be the one to administer results of said orders. Reverend Mother Cookie has a motherly presence with the Cookie being held in high regard in Pastry Cookie's mind. Reverend Mother Cookie offers to comfort and nurture her in a moment of despair once she learned the truth of the Creators. This kind and caring nature is all but a facade, however, as the Cookie is fully aware of the true fate of Cookies and only nurtured Pastry Cookie as to keep the secrets of the tower a secret.

St. Pastry Order

The St. Pastry Order is a religious sect dedicated to worshiping the Witches of the First Oven who created the first Cookies. The St. Pastry Order believes in providence through sacrificial death, as reflected by their understanding of the original purpose of Cookies as mere desserts for the Witches. They use violent force and mental conditioning to muffle this truth from the outside world, however, and to indoctrinate other Cookies into joining the group. The group publicly recruits Cookies via unassuming missionaries, but also utilizes public service buildings such as churches in order to quietly indoctrinate children and teach them the Order's beliefs.

Shadow Sister Cookie

Shadow Sister Cookie is a devout follower of the order that Pastry Cookie also follows, presumably being a rank higher than Pastry Cookie's. Being a more loyal follower of St. Pastry Order, the Cookie commits to silencing any possible threats to the Order—including threats that come from members of the Order itself.

Pastry Cookie

Pastry Cookie is a pious, humble member of the St. Pastry Order, routinely praying every morning and diligently honing both her weapon and her mind. She zealously believes in the Order's teachings and devoutly follows its commands without question, taking it upon herself to "purge the unclean" and deliver final judgment to beings such as Cake Monsters Despite this, Pastry Cookie is not entirely devoid of her own thoughts and opinions. When confronting Red Velvet Cookie in the Tower of Sweet Chaos story, she declares to "purge [him] and [his] foul creations" in the name of the St. Pastry Order, only to hesitate before delivering the final blow. She is stopped by the sight of Red Velvet Cookie comforting a pet Cake Hound that appears distressed over his injuries and shows a trace of sympathy for them both. This doubt remains with Pastry Cookie as she returns to the St. Pastry Order, leaving her questioning both the divinity of the Witches and the impurity of the Cake Monsters.
