Dark Cacao Kingdom

Dark Cacao Kingdom’s Residents

The Main Residents at the Dark Cacao Kingdom are Caramel Arrow Cookie, Dark Cacao Cookie, Crunchy Chip Cookie, and Affogato Cookie. The Dark Cacao Kingdom was constructed in a very harsh environment, as it is always ridden in a blizzard, hence the “blizzard-ridden land” mark. Harsh climate doesn’t make for a developed sense of humor. What the Dark Cacao Cookies genuinely excel at is combat. From a young age they learn weapons or martial arts. When the time comes, an apprentice finally receives a sword to defeat a wolf on their own and complete the coming of age ritual, and although the Cookie was allowed sweet cocoa or delicate milk chocolate, it is only bitter food from this point on. The Dark Cacao consider bitter food a constant reminder of perils and death. As a result the Cookies are not afraid of crumbling, but rather despise dishonorable living. The Kingdom is unsurprisingly very large, around 18700 square feet large. Most of the residents wear thick clothing to deal with the harsh conditions. The color palette is mainly purple and black, even the food and decor is as well. The other warriors are just side characters, honestly..

Dark Cacao Cookie

The last bean, devoid of any sweetness, fell down from a withered branch of a lonely cacao tree growing above the edge of a cliff. Lying there in frozen soil, enduring snow and wind, this bean wasn't aware of its destiny to become the main ingredient for the cold and reclusive Dark Cacao Cookie. A warrior of unheard strength, Dark Cacao Cookie wielded the Grapejam Chocoblade. This sword was so heavy it required three average Cookies to even budge it. With each swing, the skies erupted into thunder and lightning, avalanches tumbled down countless mountains. Dark Cacao Cookie was known as a Cookie of few words but great principle. After the Dark Flour War's sorrowful events, the warrior locked himself away in the solitude of his own castle.... Will anything be able to melt his frozen soul once again? Some may consider him violence-obsessed.? Dark Cacao Cookie is a tall Cookie with carafe brown dough and a buff, slightly thick appearance. His scowl is adorned by tulip poplar purple eyes with a wrinkle underneath. 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.

Dark Cacao Cookie - Personality

Dark Cacao Cookie is the strict and protective monarch of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. While an Ancient Hero who earns the respect of his subjects, his voice lines hint that he has grown weary of such duty. Despite this, his resolve to protect his kingdom and Earthbread allows him to continue bearing the responsibilities he swore to uphold. Dark Cacao Cookie is also quite stoic, his emotions are muted and reserved unless caught in certain situations, such as being in battle or seeing Pure Vanilla Cookie for the first time since the Dark Flour War. Additionally, Dark Cacao Cookie has a temper that can cause conflict between with him and other Cookies, such as Clotted Cream Cookie and Dark Choco Cookie. 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 Head Icon 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 Head Icon Clotted Cream Cookie. Dark Cacao Cookie wields the Light of Resolution due to his will and determination to protect not just his kingdom, but also all of Earthbread. When asked by Head Icon 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 Head Icon 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 Head Icon Mystic Flour Cookie in desperation to lift their illness off them and fight only him for his sword. When the last remaining one, Head Icon Caramel Arrow Cookie, turned into flour, he shouted and threatened Head Icon Cloud Haetae Cookie before breaking down demonstrating his absolute care and love for his subjects.

Caramel Arrow Cookie (this will be VERY long.)

At the very edge of the continent, atop the tall wall of the Black Citadel, stands a figure frowning into the dark. Night and day, all year round, Caramel Arrow Cookie, the First Watcher of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, will always protect the Cookies from the horrors of the Licorice Sea. A master of the Dark Cacao martial art tradition of the perfect balance and a wielder of the black and white twin blades, Caramel Arrow Cookie's loyalty to her king and subordinates remains unwavering even in exile. Some say the kingdom is but a shadow of its former glory, with values like trust becoming a commodity. But a vow is a vow. Standing there atop the tall wall, Caramel Arrow Cookie is staring sharply at the churning dark waters below. The First Watcher will protect the Dark Cacao Kingdom until the very last crumb. Caramel Arrow Cookie is a relatively thin Cookie of average height with warm-toned, dark brown dough. Her steely eyes are a deep black with bronze reflections and her brow is furrowed in a tenacious expression. Her mouth is generally slight and humorless and takes a deep plum hue. Overall, Caramel Arrow Cookie's design utilizes a distinct cloud-like design motif, bringing to mind the stylized, swirling depictions of clouds famously seen in countless instances of East Asian art. Particularly in China, clouds are seen as a symbol of luck[3] and often are associated with yin and yang[4][5], which Caramel Arrow Cookie and the Dark Cacao Kingdom both heavily carry as another contributing motif and theme.

Caramel Arrow (again)

Caramel Arrow Cookie's hair is considerably long, its length billowing down to her feet even while in a pulled-up fashion, and it ends in a stylized, cloud-like swirl of curls. Her long hair is doubly tied in that its length is fashioned into a high ponytail while a higher section is spun into a bun atop her head. Against her forehead sits a lifted bang that drops into two curling strands layering her left eye. The right side of her hair is fully pulled back into her ponytail and two loose strands border her face on either side. Overall, her hair takes a stark obsidian tone as its base and is adorned with spiraling streaks of striking caramel brown, evoking an image of brown sugar spreading amongst dark tapioca pearls. The First Watcher's attire is modeled after masculine Silla-era clothing. This style of garment can be cleanly labeled as neither the Korean hanbok (한복) (as it is modernly known) nor the Chinese hanfu (汉服) style, though Caramel Arrow Cookie's particular style of dress resembles modern hanbok more than hanfu and thus will be described with terms relating to such throughout this passage. Utilizing layers, her outfit starts at its base with blanched trousers likely taking a baji (바지) style with tighter daenim (대님) bottoms about her ankles, though her pants are generally obscured by the upper layers of her clothing. She wears bister brown boots which, according to her, are laced with straw to help her traverse snowy expanses. The second layer contains a long jeogori (저고리) robe split vertically into alabaster on Caramel Arrow Cookie's right and chocolate on her left, in turn rendering her right and left sleeves in the same colors. Her wide sleeves stop abruptly and are gathered into her charcoal black gloves. The length of the robe is mostly masked by upper layers, though a white segment can be seen through a split in the upper fabric and its git (깃) collar is visible near her neck.

Caramel Arrow Cookie (again…)

The third layer of clothing consists of an elaborate Silla-era dapho (답호) vest with clear triangular shaping: this garment is a deep espresso brown at its base and splits at the jet black git collar upon Caramel Arrow Cookie's chest into a smaller segment of pearl white on her right shoulder. The bottom hem of the dapho features a dull sepia design resembling cresting tides—or perhaps blown snowbanks—watched over by a single starburst at the front. The whole ensemble is held in place by a wide, chestnut gakdae (각대) belt emblazoned by a round bronze ornament bordered by two metallic studs at its front and four studs in a square formation at its back. From this gakdae sprouts a norigae (노리개) consisting of white string and a raven charm and fur tuft at its anterior and a plume of white fur at its posterior. The inclusion of a gakdae in particular is notable as it was generally reserved for officials and, thus, is likely indicative of Caramel Arrow Cookie's high status as the Black Citadel's First Watcher. Against her lifted hair, Caramel Arrow Cookie wears a stylized jougwan (조우관), a winged head-crest worn chiefly by the soldiers of the Hwarang Corps (화랑). It consists of two tall, cream white "wings" in a familiar swirling cloud stylization that sit tall and parallel from each other alongside a sable semicircle base with a concentric, brown design, resembling an Oreo-half.

Caramel Arrow Cookie…the 3rd time.

This Cookie's implement is a stylized, intricate gakgung (각궁), or horn bow, a weapon used extensively during the Three Kingdoms era of historical Korea. When in one piece, the bow is highly complex yet symmetrical in its shape, sporting numerous sharp offshoots and more hints of cloud-inspired decoration. The bow is dichromatic and expresses a stark black at its top and a cold white at its bottom with both sections holding a single slate diamond shape each at the center of the main arcing sections of each side; the colors of each extremity meet in the center of the gakgung bow, whirling together in a swirling harmony and bringing to mind again the concept of yin and yang. Notably, Caramel Arrow Cookie herself mentions the symbolism represented in her bow, stating "My bow represents the harmony of opposites". Also worth noting is the fact that the diamond shapes upon each half bring to mind the starburst eyes of the Dark Cacao Kingdom's black and white dragons, perhaps indicating that Caramel Arrow Cookie's bow was intended to resemble the two serpents. When drawn, the "arrow" of the bow consists of a pale shaft and an obsidian tip that appears connected to the body of the weapon. Interestingly, the bow does not appear to have or use a drawstring when an arrow is pulled. Caramel Arrow Cookie's gakgung bow, additionally, is able to split into dual handheld blades with each showing a swirl of color and utilizing more cloud-like shapes in its form. Each blade is, like its constructed form, half-black and half-white and each appears to be a perfect mirror of the other both in color and build.This Cookie's implement is a stylized, intricate gakgung (각궁), or horn bow, a weapon used extensively during the Three Kingdoms era of historical Korea.

Caramel Arrow Cookie - Personality

Caramel Arrow Cookie is a determined, supremely loyal individual with a strong mental fortitude. As the First Watcher of the Dark Cacao Kingdom and the head of its most elite troops, she is as ardent towards her nation as one can be and refuses to back down when it and her comrades are threatened. However, her passion can often boil over and lead to actions fueled solely by her strong emotions and unmoving beliefs; Caramel Arrow Cookie is never one to hold her tongue—and her bow—when her dignity or that of those she cherishes is insulted. The First Watcher is highly motivated, always being the one to stoke the flames of hope for crestfallen allies or even her own dejected self when things seem grim, as seen with her initial doubt and following self-reassurance upon being cast away from the Black Citadel and demoted in Snow on the Black Wall. Such a fervent yet dignified soul is almost akin to the formidable badlands of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, which Dark Cacao Cookie mentions himself shortly before casting Caramel Arrow Cookie away into the wilds. Caramel Arrow Cookie's zeal is not attributed to only her homeland, though—her genuine compassion for others often shines from underneath her hardened exterior. This tenderness sometimes is even to a fault, though, as it is what led to her initial removal from the Black Citadel. Prior to her demotion, Caramel Arrow Cookie would put forth extraneous efforts to feed those starving and abandoned by the king in the Dark Cacao Kingdom with her own rations. The collusive Head Icon Affogato Cookie took advantage of this kindness to twist her actions into a false case of rations stolen from the Citadel's own cupboards, and she is ostracized by order of King Dark Cacao Cookie. Even then, the First Watcher, exiled into the snowy dunes, would immediately go on to protect the vulnerable GingerBrave & Friends from a Snow Lion and guide their way to the Black Citadel. She is highly respectful towards those who deserve such as well.

Caramel Arrow Cookie

It is said that Caramel Arrow Cookie is particularly accustomed to the wilderness. Upon her banishment, she immediately recollects her survival knowledge, remembering that she must craft twenty arrows per day to fend off all adversaries and that one mustn't fall to the soporific abilities of the Frozen Peak Prowler when facing one. Caramel Arrow Cookie also mentions that she has straw laced to her boots to help her retain traction in the snow, and a piece of loading screen trivia mentions that she is able to read the weather of the Dark Cacao mountains by heart. She is also known as Dark Cacao Cookie’s favorite warrior, maybe.!

Crunchy Chip Cookie - Appearance & Personality

Crunchy Chip Cookie is a somewhat short, average-bodied, dark-doughed Cookie with stripes of brown on each cheek, resembling an animal’s whiskers. He has gorse yellow eyes similar to a Cream Wolf. His hair is white with black streaks as well as bits of Oreo cookie crumbs in it. A small white fang sticks out from his lips. Crunchy Chip Cookie's outfit can be described as a blend of a traditional Korean hanbok (한복) base with additional modern/fantasy elements. Upon his shoulders, he wears a cloak in a style likely emulating modern women's winter hanbok shawls. It is mainly light grey with a black goreum (고름) knot, slate grey stripes, a snarling wolf-like insignia on its back, and a fuzzy white trim. A circular pad similar to an Oreo cookie with 3 blades is strapped onto his left hand, which resembles a wolf paw. Crunchy Chip Cookie is a proud warrior of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, often mentioning it to other Cookies. Additionally, he is proud of the work that he has done with his Cream Wolves; he has a close bond with them, often referring to the one with him at all times as his friend, or sometimes, his brother. His pride in their toughness makes him offended when the wolves are referred to as "puppy" or "doggo," determined to make the wolves out to be vicious and far more than just a dog. Much of his dialogue is him yelling for whatever reason, indicating that he is proud of his place in the kingdom and confident in his abilities. But despite having a tough exterior, Crunchy Chip Cookie is shown to have a sweet tooth as seen in Chapters 1 and 2 of Cookie Odyssey; he avoids such food due to the highly disciplined customs of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. In Day 2 of Chapter 2, it was revealed that he has a dislike for sleeping in soft beds after confessing about having a nightmare the night before where Dark Cacao Cookie caught him eating sweets, and forced the Cream Wolves into disciplinary training.

headcanons i added bc why not (all get 7, tell me if i should add more)

Caramel Arrow Cookie sucks at tongue twisters, hates the snow, can’t figure out romantic interest, cannot pronounce one simple word, doesn’t really know how to say sorry, and wakes up bawling her eyes out when she snaps out of a sleep paralysis nightmare experience with a demon. Wears Oreo pajamas too. Crunchy Chip Cookie likes being alone with his wolves, dislikes cats, hasn’t had a love interest, is a major league gamer on off days, he hated his childhood, cannot fall asleep properly, and is extremely slow when it comes to digging. Dark Cacao Cookie cannot stand silence, but only if he’s not alone. He may or may not spy on you when you sleep, he dislikes the food his kingdom makes, but hides it well, eats snow when out in the mountains, has an impenetrable immune system, would rather die than have anything spicy and hates if the weather is “too airy.” Cannot do long division for his life, either.
