Shadow Witch

Description (from Artbook):

As magic became a relic of the past and its promises of power slowly forgotten, a determined young witch approached the castle. The girl's appearance faintly resembled the Witch of Light, and she proceeded to revitalize the castle. The scent and warmth of baked sweets wafted throughout the chambers once more. The girl, rumored to have fled her home after accusations of witchcraft, became known as the Shadow Witch... a tale we shall revisit later.

Appearance:

A tall girl with dark long hair. She has scarlet eyes with long eyelashes. She wears a dark cape with a brooch on her neck in the form of a skull. Underneath, she wears a dark dress with a torn skirt. On her head, she wears a dark witch's hat. Her skin is white and slightly dull due to the frequent use of dark magic. She has sharp, black nails on her hands. One of her dark strands always falls out of her hair and hangs on her face, but she has stopped removing it. She has a plague doctor mask, which she sometimes wears when making magic cookies. Shadows and sparks of dark magic circle around her all the time.

Previously, the Shadow Witch lived in a famous kingdom. However, she was accused of evil and in order to avoid being publicly killed, she fled. Once in the Castle, she became interested in it. She began to develop her skills in dark magic and study it. Having found several books, she began to study Cookies and how to revive them, wanting to recreate her power. She was able to bake living Cookies. At first, she was happy, but later she began to eat Cookies and try to find the First Cookies in order to take away their knowledge and magic. Her goals are: First Cream Cookie, First Green Tea Cookie, First Egg Cookie, First Choco Cookie, First Vanilla Cookie, First Sprinkle Cookie, First Milk Cookie, First Honey Cookie, First Grain Cookie, First Yeast Cookie, First Berry Cookie, First Sugar Cookie, First Salt Cookie.

She wishes to gather the Cookies of the First Batch, due to the ancient secrets they contain. Helping her in this mission are a posse of minions stationed across the castle, such as Sheriff Whiskerton and The Reaper.

The Shadow Witch keeps her real name a secret and does not remember it, as well as her past life. She makes and sometimes eats Cookies. She does this without a twinge of conscience, knowing that the Cookies are alive. She does not care about them at all. She does not care about anything except power. She knows the story of the twelve Witches who became cookies. Seeing potential power in them, she wished to get each of them. She hates both humans and Cookies equally.

"This will not be the end."…

They were initially described as creations of the Witch of Light, baked with her heart and soul to bring sweetness and beauty to the Cookie world. It was then revealed with the release of First Cream Cookie First Cream Cookie that the First Cookies were actually twelve Witches who had their souls placed into several Cookies, as a last ditch effort by the Witch of Light to save them from crumbling and drifting away. One of the Witches became a traitor whose heart was forever consumed by malice and hatred. The rest were saved and remade into living Cookies who recreated their Cookie World.

Shadow Witch realizes their full power and understands that the Cookies are quite strong and this is the power she needs. She knew Witch of Light before her fall and assumed that she was First Cream Cookie. Presumably, the First Cookies are in the Castle, where Shadow Witch is searching for them.

Sheriff Whiskerton - black tom. Sheriff Whiskerton is a cat who will go to great lengths to earn a badge of commendation from the witch. Despite the adorable and cuddly visage, the sheriff is not to be trifled with. He catches cookies by playing with them and disturbs the other inhabitants of the Castle.

The Reaper - she is one of the minions of the Shadow Witch, with the duty to go and capture the sweetest residents of the Syrup Garden and offer them to her as sacrifices, in order to get sweet rewards.

Witch of Light - she is the witch who baked the First Batch and had a love for the world and all the living things in it. The Legend says: Once a radiant and illustrious princess of a kingdom long vanished, she embraced solitude on the lonely isle. Immersing herself in a newfound role as the resplendent Witch of Light, she wove enchantments and spells to conjure a castle as her magical haven. The Witch of Light attempted to recreate the sweet delicacies reminiscent of her childhood days in the kingdom - Cookies that resembled the loved ones and friends she once knew. The witch and her Cookies lived happily ever after, their days bathed in the everlasting glory... Or did they? "If only I could dedicate this body and soul of mine to transform the world into a vision of beauty and perfection. There would be no greater honor. Alas, upon the eve of my departure, I believe that my kingdom of ages past, though not inherently perfect, can and will regain its wondrous splendor once the world has been remade. So, to all of you, I bid farewell and may time preserve your dough so that you remain crispy and fresh.." - The last words of the Witch from the book.
