Golden Cheese Cookie.

Appearance:

Golden Cheese Cookie has a golden burst of hair and baked-brown dough. Her eyes are also golden with white outlines and eyebrows, and a green pattern underneath them. She boasts a pair of golden arc-shaped wings with a green triangle pattern on their edges. She wears a golden headdress on her head that contains her Soul Jam, with a perfect cheese triangle topping it and two longer triangles on the sides of her head. Her upper half is half-covered by a wide gold and green collar with outward spokes, while her lower half is covered by a linen skirt with an orange belt. She wears golden bracelets on her hands and wields a spear with two triangles on its ends pointed in the same direction, with the triangle on the point sporting holes similar to Swiss cheese. In her youth, Golden Cheese Cookie lacked her wings, headdress, and bracelets. Her hair was relatively the same, albeit with a long, trailing ponytail, and her eyes were marked with only a single turquoise triangle at their corners. She wore a simple poncho shawl and longer skirt.

Personality:

A particularly proud and ambitious hero, Golden Cheese Cookie equates wealth to godliness, and sees no reason to be humble about it. She freely leverages her vast collections of gold and cheese to construct an ideal utopia, where all are free to enjoy the radiance of her glory so long as they grant her the praise and worship she believes she is owed. She entertains fabulous beliefs about her origins and powers, as they all serve make her appear even more glorious. Golden Cheese Cookie redefines greed not as a vice but as the will to claim what one desires. Even in her youth, her willingness to brave inhospitable and desolate ruins for lost treasures was what eventually led her to the Light of Abundance. Despite her apparent arrogance, she acts as a kind queen that will do anything for the good of her Kingdom and her people, willing to go through any lengths to preserve them from the ravages of destruction. Golden Cheese Cookie wields the Light of Abundance due to her desire for a prosperous future and willingness to share that future with others. Even long past the time she was the queen of the real Golden Cheese Kingdom, and having no subjects besides the Cheesebirds, she remained true to her beliefs, her love for her subjects and treasures, as well as her status as a fabled hero who valiantly protected those around her. Once she learned of the new threat that Burning Spice Cookie posed to her kingdom, she revived Smoked Cheese Cookie in order to take the Soulcheese of Mozzarella Cookie and Burnt Cheese Cookie to safety, even after his betrayal and plot to overthrow her. She fought and defended herself alongside him when it was needed, putting trust in him, and she selflessly saved a young Kulfi that was dangerously close observing the fight against Burning Spice Cookie, even at the grim and painful cost of her victory.

Skills:

When hit by the spear, enemies receive a debuff amplifying the Earth-type damage received. While Golden Cheese Cookie is using her skill, she harnesses her Light of Abundance and hurls the Spear of the Absolute to the enemy Cookie with the highest ATK. The Spear of Absolute removes the target’s buffs, deals DMG, Explosion DMG, and additional DMG based on the current number of Spears of Radiance to all enemies in range. Once per battle, if Golden Cheese Cookie is about to be defeated, she encloses herself in a Sarcophagus for a certain period of time. While enclosed in her Sarcophagus, she casts a Shield around herself. This Shield takes the DMG dealt to nearby allies covered by it and provides Knockback Immunity. When using her skill, Golden Cheese Cookie is not affected by ATK Speed changes and is protected from the Glitch: Data Corruption effect by her Light of Abundance.

Some facts:

According to her loading screen trivia, "Golden Cheese Cookie's favorite time of the day is when the Cheesebirds dress her in her robe after a relaxing bath." Golden Cheese Cookie is the fourth Ancient Hero released. Golden Cheese Cookie is also the first Ancient Hero to not have her own game server or a landmark in her decor set added within her release update or following update parts. Over two years before her proper release, Golden Cheese Cookie was present walking around a player's kingdom in promotional development images showcasing Cookie House skins. As her inclusion was accidental, the image was very quickly redacted and replaced with a version omitting her. The Art of Cookie Run: Kingdom states that Golden Cheese Cookie was born by hatching from a Golden Egg that laid dormant for 5,000 years. It also states that this appears to be false: the egg on display in the Golden Cheese Kingdom is merely an empty dragon eggshell, painted gold, with Golden Cheese Cookie's subjects none the wiser. When Golden Cheese Cookie's Soul Jam, a downwards-facing triangle, is shattered as seen in the Prologue, it is seen incorrectly positioned with its point facing upwards. Based on her story sprites, it appears that Golden Cheese Cookie's tiara loses its color when the Soul Jam is not in its place. Based on the playable prologue sequence, Golden Cheese Cookie was originally planned to be placed in the Rear position. Golden Cheese Cookie's original skill quote had her say "Kneel before me!" rather than the current "Divine radiance!" Despite being prioritized to the Middle, Golden Cheese Cookie is still prioritized to the Rear Position in the Prologue, likely to keep Pure Vanilla Cookie alone in the middle due to the cutscenes that follow. In Cookie Run: OvenBreak, an Event was held to promote the release of Cookie Run: Kingdom. One of the rewards given by this Event was a "The Great Kingdoms" Jelly Set, which features the Ancient Heroes as Bear Jellies.

Some facts (2):

Golden Cheese Cookie is referred to in the set as "Bold Yellow Hero Jelly". The description reads, "Heroes must be bold and prepared for anything." Golden Cheese Cookie's German voice actress, Simona Pahl, also provides the voice of Avocado Cookie. Golden Cheese Cookie is likely based on Ra, the ancient Egyptian deity of the sun.

Golden Cheese cookie is someone who is going to act very differently in a relationship depending on when you got together and where you are in time at various points in that relationship — but no matter what she will treat you like a treasure, coveting you and adoring you as she would any other grand golden artefact in her collection (even more so, arguably). Before the great flour war she’s constantly flaunting her immense wealth and status to spoil you and show you off to her dear friends and citizens — dressing you in the finest cloth and the most dazzling jewellery (all authentically gold and handmade in the kingdom by her artisans, of course). She’s all about lavish dates and gifts, giving you all she can in the world whilst still maintaining a highly affectionate and physical relationship with you — always touching you and kissing you casually in front of friend, foe, or servant (with your relationship being spoken of amongst whispers as the ‘ideal’ for any two lovers to be for how deeply in love the two of you are, both within the golden cheese kingdom and beyond its great walls), and even before the two of you discuss marriage or engagement, she’s exchanging and borrowing jewellery from you — with her never being seen without one of your broaches, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings, or other such items on her person and vice versa (getting to the point where even her most dedicated staff cannot recall which article originally belonged to who — mozzarella cookie finds it so very endearing and hopes to carry on that tradition with her own partner one day). She’s an extremely fun partner and always finds a way to make you laugh on her own or with the help of those she cares about within her kingdom — mozzarella cookie and burnt cheese cookie especially are both always willing to lend their queen a hand in entertaining you (even if burnt cheese cookie isn’t the most humorous person himself)

Headcanons (2):

Dates with her are also incredibly spontaneous and can involve doing anything or everything that comes to mind depending on the time you have and the weather: wrapping you up in her arms and taking you flying across her kingdom and around the nearby area just because she can, taking you around the market just to see what new wares have come in from her friends’ kingdoms, bringing you out to new restaurants that have opened around the kingdom, visiting the local artisans and having matching gifts made for each other, going out to the arena, or just hanging around the palace and being lazy — all of them are equally as likely to happen depending on each of your moods at the time. Whenever she’s been away from you and her kingdom for a prolonged period of time, she’ll always greet you with a kiss that steals your breath away and leaves you laughing: speeding towards you, dipping you in her arms, and pressing her lips to yours with a passion that’s almost palpable in the air as her friends (with whom she’d entrusted your care) cheer you both on. She calls you ‘my treasure’ and ‘my dear’ and is far from one to shy away from shows of physical affection in front of others when she sees you: flying over to nuzzle her face against the side of your own, bringing your knuckles to her lips so she can kiss each and every one, pulling you down onto her lap whilst she sits on her throne so she can wrap her arms around you, collapsing against you when she’s exhausted (or feigning it for sympathy), etc. It’s like the two of you can’t get enough of each other and the Ancients love it — even if HollyBerry cookie has jokingly called you both ‘sickly sweet’ and feigned illness at the sight of you on a few occasions (earning her a very light scolding from pure vanilla cookie who insisted she ‘play nice’ and that the two of you were ‘adorable’).

Headcanons (3):

She has less than zero patience for anyone showing you any disrespect and makes it abundantly clear to anyone who tries to talk down to (or about) you that she does not tolerate that kind of thing — especially if someone points out the difference in status as something to put you down because that’s something that just really grinds her gears. She treasures each and every gift you give her (bought or made by your own hand) just as much as any other precious gemstone or golden artefact in her collection, with each gift having its place and being kept clean, safe and proudly on display in the palace, but after the flour war, after she’s lost everything and everyone else, something changes in her and she becomes much more clingy and protective — refusing to let you out of her sight and insisting you’re accompanied by guards at all times (even having your sarcophagus, where your still living body remained) kept in the large central room alongside hers. She’s constantly terrified of losing you and sometimes spirals so hard into her fears that she’s no longer sure if you’re really there with her or if you’re just a virtual illusion she created — holding onto you tightly and not letting go as she trembles with silent sobs and wordlessly begs for you to be real (‘please be real, please, i can’t lose you as well’) whilst you hold her in return and assure her that you’re really there, that she saved you if nothing else and that you weren’t going anywhere. She still spoils you rotten, of course she does, and you never go without whatever it is you may want or need or crave even if it’s just for the slightest moment: your wardrobes and jewellery boxes are overflowing with finery, you have thousands of perfume bottles and lotions lined up to be used at your leisure (nothing virtual expires, after all), her servants wait on you hand and foot to ensure you’re always comfortable and free of any aches and pains, you have entire sections of her palace decorated to suit your tastes,

and you have your beloved only a call away to tend to you whenever you wish. Golden Cheese Cookie becomes even more physically affectionate than before: resting her chin atop your head whilst you sit in her lap, her arms and wings wrapped around your body as the two of you just sit there for a moment or two, embracing the comfortable silence; dancing with you through the palace and laughing amongst yourselves whenever someone inevitably messes up or when the servants join in and start dancing alongside you; tilting your chin upwards and pressing a deep, passionate kiss against your lips, which always ends up with her picking you up and you burying your hands in her hair as neither of you want to break apart; her demeanour visibly softening whenever she sets eyes on you, immediately greeting you and letting her hand linger on your back, shoulder or waist as you talk — things like that. She’s also been known to wrap her wings around your body to shield you from the world beyond her whenever you fall asleep on her lap — keeping quiet and instructing everyone nearby to follow suit as she lets you get your rest and tries to stay as still as possible as to not rouse you. The two of you make silly bets on trivial things to pass the time — such as who can down the most of a drink in a set amount of time or whether she can beat her record when it came to flying from one length of her virtual city to the other — and your currency is, of course, kisses (really they’re more of an excuse to make out with each other than actual bets, but sometimes it’s more fun to play pretend). She suffers from extremely vivid and frequent nightmares after everything she’s been through and oftentimes they’re so bad that she wakes up screaming and in tears — in moments like that the best thing to do is reach for her hand, gently direct her to look at you, let your hand linger on her cheek and reassure her that it’s over now, that you’re safe, and that because of her everyone gets to live a life

Of endless luxury (and be there to hold her as she cries until she falls back asleep, or until she pretends to so that you can get some sleep in her stead), because of how much she’s lost, Golden Cheese Cookie is extremely protective and extremely clingy — she fears losing you more than anything else in the world as you’re the only thing she truly has left, which manifests as almost possessive behaviour (reluctant to leave you alone and dismissing anyone who gets too close to you), panicking over even the most minor of injuries you get, and doing everything she can to lengthen your natural lifespan to match her own (she can’t imagine living without you and, being an ancient, the possibility of that happening is almost certain and that terrifies her more than anything else ever could). After nearly losing her kingdom again and deciding to step back in order to join the council of ancient heroes, the very last thing she does is stay by your side as you fall into a deep sleep — stroking the back of your hand, kissing you from your forehead to your palms, reassuring you that she loves you more than anything else, that you’re her greatest treasure and her greed would never allow her to let you go, and that she’ll be back to wake you up to a new, safer, brighter world before you know it, and then you kiss her and tell her that you know you’re in good hands before drifting off into a pleasant sleep, wrapped up in her arms and wings until your virtual form fades away — the last words you exchange before she goes back out to fight being a promise of love, of greed, and of celebration once you’re finally reunited. if you met and started dating after left her kingdom to reunite with the other ancients, then you’ll get to see a very different side of Golden Cheese Cookie — someone who, whilst initially reluctant to pursue anything serious, is still incredibly playful and flirty with you as your relationship progresses.

She spends a lot of time showing off in front of you to earn your awe, respect and admiration — including training in areas around the republic where she knows you frequent, doing tricks in the air above the republic whenever you’re nearby, and using her immense wealth to casually spoil you when you’re out on dates, it takes her a while to open up to you as your relationship did start off as something very casual, but once that dam opens it all comes spilling out — usually ending up with her buried in your arms, weeping, glass of alcohol long forgotten as her mourns her citizens and expresses all of her doubts about being able to serve them as she should (she knows she can save them, she’s greedy enough for that and much more, but after what happened with smoked cheese cookie she does fret about her ability to keep the kingdom stable and prosperous once everyone wakes up from their slumber). her dear friends, namely HollyBerry cookie, are very invested in your relationship and are forever teasing her and gushing over you as your bond continues to grow — with her fellow queen stepping up to organise parties, banquets, outings, and the like just so golden cheese cookie has an excuse to get closer to you and spend time with you as a couple without the pressures of the upcoming war and the like getting in the way of everything (she’s also the first one who recognised that Golden Cheese Cookie’s feelings for you were more than just ‘casual’ and was the one who pushed her to confess — because otherwise she might never have said anything to you at all). The last thing she does before going out to war is wrap you up in her arms, kiss all over your face, hold your hands tightly in your own, and promise that she’ll be back before you know it (that she’s too greedy to not fight to come home to her ‘greatest treasure’) — and the first thing she does when she comes back to the republic, one amongst thousands of victorious soldiers, is tackle you into a hug and fly up into the

The air with you in her arms, her cheeks wet with tears and her face split in a grateful smile as you just hold each other, and kiss, and laugh, and weep. The end of a dark time, and the beginning of the rest of your lives… starting with a typical hollyberrian party organised by the queen herself (and a cheese feast set up by your girlfriend).
