Vanilla is a man of average height, slim, with light brown complexion and creamy-blond hair. He has heterochromia: his right eye is pale yellow and his left is a pale blue. His eyes are mostly closed, but occasionally open. He has a sienna-colored star on his forehead. •Pure Vanilla Cookie's attire is consistent with that of the ruler of the Vanilla Kingdom, hence the waffle hat, robe, and light color scheme. His hat is pointed, with the top portion being bright yellow with a waffle pattern and the bottom portion being golden, resembling a crown. His robe is also golden yellow, with two triangular lapels, while his collar and cassock are bright yellow and feature the same pattern as his pointed hat. His robe features a cross-shaped plate that contains his bright blue Soul Jam. Underneath his robe, he wears a long, simple white dress with long sleeves and a dark brown pattern reminiscent of syrup, as well as a turtleneck that reaches his chin. •The staff he holds has a vanilla flower with orchid-colored petals and an eye with a light blue sclera and a brown iris growing from it. Several green vines grow from the brown stem. He is a wise, benevolent, and all-loving monarch who genuinely cares for his subjects and kingdom and is universally beloved. He is considered the embodiment of many virtues. Despite his magical powers, he uses them only to help others, remaining modest about his abilities and earning the respect of many. He is very calm and level-headed and dislikes conflict. He shares a deep connection with White Lily. After all, he attended Blueberry Yogurt Academy with White Lily. Despite Vanilla's magical abilities, he had a more rebellious streak. He skipped classes to meet White Lily, explaining that he was "bored" without her. He also went to the library with her and secretly borrowed a forbidden book, reserved for teachers, to create perfect cookies.

White Lily Cookie is quiet and thoughtful, yet steadfast in her ideals. She strives to help and educate others, without regard for her own safety, which influences many of her actions, both good and bad. During her school years, White Lily Cookie was known as an intelligent and exemplary student, often ranking first among her peers. Because of this, she often skipped classes to pursue her research, believing she learned little in class. White Lily Cookie is filled with curiosity and will stop at nothing to find answers, especially when it comes to the creation of Cookies. However, her curiosity led her to violate moral codes and taboos, ultimately leading to the creation of the Dark Sorceress Cookie. Reflecting on what she did in the present, White Lily Cookie realizes the immense pain her actions caused and considers herself unforgivable when she realizes where this path led her. White Lily Cookie is a short, thin Cookie with a pale brown complexion and dark purple eyes with eyelashes. She has tousled white hair, worn in a long braid with waves resembling the petals of white lilies. She wears a headband with an image of a white lily and several leaves. She wears a sleeveless green dress that fades to white at the top, with beads resembling dewdrops. It is complemented by a dark green, translucent cape and green bandages that cover half of her arms. Her flower staff is green with a fading white tip at the bottom. The staff is twisted upward, forming two leaves that connect to her Soul Jam and are topped with calla lilies. As a teenager, she would skip classes to create the perfect cookie with Pure Vanilla.

Dark Cocoa Cookie is a tall cookie with a carafe-brown crust and a frighteningly stocky build. His scowl is paired with deep violet eyes set in tired bags under his eyes. He has long black hair with white streaks. His attire reflects his Soul Gem, similar to that of a mighty warrior and king. His armor is slate gray, and his cloak is a dark dull purple with a lighter palatine purple interior. His pauldrons beneath the shoulder guard are diamond-shaped and connected to his cloak, the additional diamonds being a dark grayish-pink. His gorget beneath his head is compared to a plakart and tasset. His cuisses are dark purple, and his armored boots are purple-gray. The grape-jam blade he holds is massive, but partly shorter than he is. The pommel and hilt have a gray sheen, while the other half is completely black. The purple-brown harpoon has two diamond-like edges on each end, with a glowing purple diamond in the middle—Soul Jam. His blade is dark gray with some additional white highlights, two triangular tips in the middle, and a slightly larger one at the tip. The blade also bears two star-shaped symbols in the middle. Dark Cocoa Cookie is a strict and protective monarch. He is very decisive and courageous. Although he is an Ancient Hero who deserves the respect of his subjects, his words hint that he is tired of such duties. Despite this, his determination to protect his kingdom and the Breadlands allows him to continue the duties he swore to fulfill. Dark Cocoa Cookie is also quite static, his emotions muted and restrained, unless caught in certain situations, such as being in combat or first meeting Pure Vanilla Cookie after the Dark Flour War. Furthermore, Dark Cocoa Cookie has a temper that can cause conflict.

Golden Cheese Cookie has golden hair and dark brown dough. She also has golden eyes with white outlines and eyebrows, with a green pattern underneath. She boasts a pair of golden, arched wings with a green triangular pattern along the edges. On her head, she wears a golden headdress containing her Jam Soul, topped with a perfect triangle of cheese, and two longer triangles on either side. Her upper body is half-covered by a wide, golden-green collar with protruding spokes, and her lower body is half-covered by a linen skirt with an orange belt. She wears golden bracelets on her arms, and in her hands, she holds a spear with two triangles at the ends, pointing in the same direction. Worship the ever-shining queen of the Golden City! The Golden Cheese Cookie lives in a gilded palace amid the dunes of the Parmesan Desert. At the sight of her—her body adorned with shining gold, her divine confidence, and her magnificent wings—the Cookies fall to their knees in delight. With one wave of her hand, she creates a golden mountain, with another, a river. Only a god could possess such power. Her greed knows no bounds, for this Cookie craves ever more treasures and even her loyal subjects. Following her desires, the Golden Cheese Cookie filled the kingdom with riches that flowed to her like a river of cheese fondue. An ambitious and very graceful girl. Proud, even a little vain. She loves herself and her wealth madly. She possesses the soul jam of abundance, which gives her strength. Although she has a rather nasty character, she is also generous and even kind. She adores gold. She has a bitter enemy: Benning Spice, the Great Destroyer.

She's a broad, muscular Cookie with an orange-brown complexion. She has pink eyes with tiny eyelashes. Her pink hair is tied into two large buns, held in place by braids and adorned with leaves resembling berries. She has a small, parted fringe across her forehead and short hair on the sides of her head. As Queen of the Hollyberry Kingdom, she wears an elegant pink dress. The dress has round sleeves and a burgundy skirt, worn with white gloves and a single holly berry worn as a neck ornament. Heart motifs can be seen throughout her dress, on the bust and skirt, as well as on her long gloves. She wears a white petticoat and white boots under the dress. Her heart shield is entirely pink, with brown stripes covering the center, reminiscent of a lattice pattern on a pie crust. The shield is decorated with holly berries and leaves on both sides, with her Soul Gem in the center of the shield. •• Hollyberry loves adventure and excitement, often venturing into the wilderness alone. She also enjoys sparring and fighting, leading her subjects to victory as the ruler and founder of the Hollyberry Kingdom. A fierce and passionate fighter, Hollyberry Cookie excels on the battlefield and even emerges victorious in her sparring matches with Pitaya the Dragon, who recognizes her as the only worthy opponent for them. A notable trait of this Cookie is that she values ​​friendship above all else, even stating in her dialogue that making a new friend is the same as emerging victorious in battle, as she believes that Cookies were created to be joyful and to unite with other Cookies to live happily together. She gets along well with Pitaya Dragon Cookie. Dragon treats her well because of their similar personalities. They consider themselves "fighting" buddies. They often fight without any reason. But at the same time, they worry and care for each other.

Opposites of the Ancient Heroes. They were similar heroes in the past, but after realizing their full power and experiencing torment and betrayal, they became very evil and cruel. For this, they were imprisoned in a tree—animal yeast (or whatever it's called?). Only White Lily knows of their existence and has personally seen the tree, but has never seen the beasts themselves. ••Eternal Sugar is a gentle, graceful, seemingly kind girl. Leni's Beast. The opposite of HollyBerry. Happiness is in the past. ••Shadow Milk is a cruel manipulator and the king of lies, turning everything around him into his stage. A beast of lies. The opposite of Pure Vanilla. In the past, knowledge, truth. •• Benning Spice is a very cruel and evil destroyer, hates boredom. Beast of destruction. Opposite of Golden Cheese. Changes in the past. ••Mystic Flour - an emotionless and desperate girl. Beast of Apathy. Opposite of Dark Cocoa. In the past of desires. ••Salnt Salt - silent, mysterious and strange. Beast of silence. Opposite of White Lily. In the past, solidarity.

White Lily was deeply interested in the meaning of life and sought answers to her questions. Only... The price for all her curiosity was high. One day, Lily attended a Witches' feast. She saw innocent cookies being eaten alive by witches. And a great hatred awakened within Lily. This hatred grew into something greater. There was too much of it, and after falling into the cauldron, White Lily had a doppelganger... A Dark Enchantix copy of herself... Almost. It was her hatred that came to the surface. Horns glowed in the darkness. The Enchantress hated everyone—witches, cookies, everything that existed. She destroyed the Golden Cheese Kingdom (which was later restored, but not completely) and the Vanilla Kingdom itself. Although the kingdoms were restored... The lives of millions of cookies could no longer be saved. Now the whole world hated her in return. Only not the Enchantress herself, but White Lily. Only Vanilla didn't turn his back on Lily, despite this. The other ancient heroes were fine with it, too. They said, "Everyone makes mistakes, it's inevitable." Only Golden Cheese sided with those who hated her. She herself hadn't forgiven him, and she's unlikely to forgive him, but who knows?

This is a precious stone that carries the light of its bearer. Witches (Local Gods) gave them to those they deemed worthy of wielding power. Soul jams contain immense power. After soul jams were given to beasts (Former Heroes), they became immortal and eternally young (this is not accurate information, but let's assume it is the absolute truth). The same thing happened to the ancient heroes. Each has their own.

••Pure Vanilla suffers from loneliness. He cares too much about others, forgetting about himself. He blames himself for the appearance of the Dark Enchantress and past mistakes. He lost the memory of his cruel decisions in his youth and then locked himself in the tower. But then he left the tower. ••White Liliter- tormented by the mistakes she made. •Golden Cheese - misses his old life, misses his kingdom. He also suffers from loneliness. Halle Berry takes on too much responsibility and can't handle it. She cares too much about others, forgetting about herself. She suffers from alcoholism and essentially abandoned her kingdom to a dragon and her family, abandoning it out of grief and despair. She believes she is unworthy of being a ruler. ••Dark Cocoa is deeply worried about his son, who rejected him and almost killed his father. They don't have a very good relationship. He also suffers from loneliness. And he is terminally ill with black mold; no one, absolutely no one, knows about it; he bears this burden alone. "The hidden feelings of all the heroes. They will hardly ever admit that they are going through a hard time."

It took a lot of lives. It happened, essentially, due to Lily's fault. The war is not over. The Golden Cheese Kingdom was completely burned down and only ruins remained. The vanilla kingdom is in a half-dead state.

They're all cookies. They live on the continent of Crispia, and their land is called Khlebozemie. Witches are their creators. All the ancient heroes are about 300 years old.
