Doughael

Doughael is a very kind and loyal Cookie. Previously, as a High Forkbearer, he sought to understand the meaning of the Cookies' existence. He had a strong, friendly relationship with the Healer Cookie. He liked how the Healer Cookie helped the others. When Doughael was checking the cracks in the ground that formed near them, he fell into them. While praying to the Almighty, he heard a creature from the Cookies' souls. Doughael learned the truth about the Witch Creators eating Cookies and vowed to do whatever it took to get closer to Them. After that, years later, he returned in a new form and began telling the Cookies to worship the Creators and call upon the Avatar of Destiny.

Doughael is very generous and forgiving. However, their fervent belief in the Witches has made them blind to others and causes them to lose their character.

Doughael has sickly pale dough and a slim, gracile body with a small waist and subtle hips. Their eyes are concealed by a folded white veil. Their hair is a short, chin-length bob, parted at the middle, with curls that turn inward toward the face. From behind their head extend two sets of wings, the upper pair larger and the lower pair slightly smaller. A floating black-gray halo is positioned behind the head, shaped like a highly decorated plate with swirling patterns. Around it, four small fork symbols of the St. Pastry Order float at the top, left, right, and bottom. It could be possible that the four small forks represent north, south, east, and west.

They wear a white gown designed to accentuate the body’s shape, layered in three tiers resembling feathers, reaching down to the shins. They are barefoot and wear long white gloves that cover the arms entirely. Over the gown is a black vestment resembling clerical garments, with a back cape that transitions into a half-translucent fabric. The vestment is edged with sharp, metallic ornamental designs reminiscent of gothic architecture, with additional fork symbols attached at the two tail ends and clasp.

The Cookie carries a weapon combining the form of a candelabrum and a fork. The staff itself is metallic gray, with a fork-shaped butt, and holds three black candles tipped with violet-blue flames.

Doughael is a Cookie defined by unwavering devotion and a profound connection to faith and ritual. Even before their transformation, they were deeply committed to guiding disciples and overseeing their spiritual growth, approaching their role with both care and a sense of sacred responsibility. This devotion is not merely procedural; it is rooted in awe and reverence for the divine. Encounters with extraordinary phenomena elicit genuine wonder and even vulnerability, revealing a manlike side beneath their pious exterior. They are curious, reflective, and willing to place themselves at risk to witness or understand higher truths, demonstrating that their commitment is as personal as it is communal.

The experience of the Rift marks a profound turning point for Doughael, transforming them from a mortal leader into a transcendent, seraphic figure. Post-Rift, they adopt plural pronouns, speaking as “we” or “us,” a reflection of both multiplicity and the elevated perspective granted by their nearness to divinity. This transformation carries both symbolic and literal authority, positioning Doughael as a mediator between mortals and the divine, and granting them insight into the Godly Will and the ultimate purpose of the Holy Avatar. Their presence commands immediate devotion, inspiring both awe and loyalty. Followers perceive them as a prophet, and Doughael’s words frame events (and even calamities) as expressions of sacred purpose.

Despite this transcendent authority, Doughael retains echoes of their past vulnerability. They balance humility with a sense of mission-driven self-importance, presenting themselves as a servant of the divine while simultaneously embracing the role of the necessary guide for salvation. Their fervor, while deeply rooted in devotion, carries an element of unpredictability; their zeal can lead to perilous outcomes, and their encounters with the divine are as overwhelming as they are illuminating. +

• At their core, Doughael is a mystical and visionary figure, one who interprets signs, visions, and cosmic phenomena as direct communications of divine intent. Their focus on the Avatar, the Whole Dough, and the Promised Day demonstrates both obsession and clarity of purpose. Through them, the mortal and the divine intersect, and their influence shapes the beliefs, actions, and ultimate fate of their followers. Doughael embodies a complex interplay of devotion, authority, awe, and danger: a being whose Cookie origins and post-Rift transformation coexist in tension, defining both their personality and the fervent devotion they inspire.

In which they refer to themselves with exclusively plural pronouns: they do not use terms like "I," "me," and "my," opting for "we," "us," and "our." Doughael also refers to themselves with reverential capitalization.

Doughael is the first Super Epic to be a Healing Healing type and the first to use they/them pronouns.

Doughael was inspired by Healer Cookie. He admired him and therefore vowed to spread the truth and worship the Godly Creators.

Doughael plans to sacrifice himself for the Avatar of Destiny.

Previously, Doughael called himself the High Forkbearer and use the pronouns he/him.

Doughael does not consider those who renounced the faith to be traitors. However, They would like them to return to the faith and keep the cult secret.

Heals allies for a certain period of time, and grants DMG Resist, Debuff Resist, and ATK buffs. Afterwards, Doughael's faith shines, Healing allies, dealing damage to enemies, pushing them back, and inflicting Sacred Preachings. Upon using their skill, Doughael removes debuffs from targets with Disciple of the Abyss. Lastly, Doughael applies Fervor and Blessings of Devotion, Healing targets whenever they take damage over a certain period of time, and granting them Immunity to incapacitating effects. At the start of battle, Doughael grants Disciple of the Abyss to the ally with the highest ATK (excluding themselves), increasing the ally's ATK and DMG Dampening. If this target is defeated, it will trigger Selfless Sacrifice, increasing Doughael's ATK and DEF. The buff will be applied to the next ally with the highest ATK. If Doughael is defeated, Disciple of the Abyss will further increase the target's ATK buff and speed up their Healing rate. Doughael's Cooldown decreases proportionally to their HP increase rate as of the start of the battle, and they are immune to incapacitating effects.

There once lived a pilgrim who sought the meaning of Cookie life. When They found the answer—the truth that Cookies were baked to be eaten—at long last, the pilgrim rejoiced. "Only through becoming one can we reach salvation!" And so, this Cookie set out a mission to share Their epiphany with the whole world. Soon, They became the High Forkbearer of the St. Pastry Order. Having cast aside Their former name, Their very flavor, this Cookie took the name of Doughael. Doughael crossed the boundary between worlds, and, having witnessed a glimpse of the Complete Vision, returned carried on the wings of pure white to liberate Cookies from their sins. Through Doughael's severance from the lights of the world, the revelation of the Almighty shines all the brighter upon Their pupils-one that dictates complete devotion to the providence's messenger. And once all living souls are conjoined in the Whole Dough, it is finished.

Three of St. Raphael's patronages are incorporated into Doughael's character: travelers, healing, and the blind. The first appears in their original form, who is now long forlorn. They were once a Cookie who truly wished to spread the word of the Creators untainted by ulterior motives. Now they speak of "salvation"—if salvation was to become a part of a deceptive beast that is the Avatar of Destiny. The second, healing, is found through the charitable acts done by the St. Pastry Order that stem from Doughael's original actions to Cookiekind in years past. In a flashback, we see them with a fallen healer who had founded his own kingdom. Indeed, they would follow his footsteps and had founded their own religion that was doomed to collapse once they had returned from the Rift; in this, they are a malevolent parallel to Head Icon Pure Vanilla Cookie, who himself is heavily inspired by Jesus Christ. The final, the blind, is seen in Doughael being blinded by their ambitions and leading the blindly faithful to their untimely demise. They have no care in the world if they were to perish, so long as their goal of becoming one with the Avatar of Destiny is accomplished.

"On that fateful day, all residing here will meet providence... the hands of greatness, headdress of wisdom, and mountainous shadow will grace us all."

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.

It is heavily implied that some members take on new names after a certain point within the order, fully discarding their previous identities. Those who join the Shadow Sisters sect are fully privy to the Order's guarded truths, and ensure the Order's secrets are kept from escaping its walls by whatever means necessary.

The Order believes itself to oversee a greater aspect of the past and future than other groups, and that despite their secretive attitude, "to walk without the truth in mind is to walk without purpose". They foretell that the "First Oven" will eventually reopen and that "all dough shall become One", a destiny that they believe justifies all actions that they take against other Cookies. They seek to acquire the Soul Jams for unknown purposes, and have crafted some of their weaponry to mimic those wielded by the Ancient Heroes.

So far, the Order has only had a tangible presence in the Crème Republic through the Cookies in White Masks, where it was able to remain completely hidden in plain sight until the events of Cookie Odyssey. Its true headquarters location is currently unknown.
