Character Name: Cotton Cookie (Elder)
Canon: Cookie Run Kingdom
Canon History: Here
Canon Personality:
Cotton Cookie's foremost trait in the series, young and old, is ultimately her kind nature. Many of the traits displayed in her youth are retained in her age, but this is the one which shines through most. From the young girl who took time out of her day to care for and tend to a sickly friend, to the girl-and eventual-elder who knit gifts for a deity on the regular, her heart is something she opens for all whom she meets...no matter their initial seeming intentions.
As an empathetic person, she could be brought to tears at the thought of her friends experiencing pain or danger- and as an elderly woman, while not seen to cry on screen, she has shown clear worry and fuss at the very idea of even relative strangers meeting harm. Notably, she is never seen to grow truly angry- though she shouted and argued with the Frost Queen in her youth, she was quick to default to trust and kindness, despite having little reason to believe in the Queen's own words.
These optimistic traits come with a streak of well-natured trickery as well; or at least, harmless teasing. It's unclear if Cotton truly believes in the existence of Yeti (though given her interactions with the Frost Queen, she likely does), but she tells the story of them to Snow Sugar with a dramatic, but gentle flair. It speaks of experience doing this with other children, emphasizing the spooky dangers of the unknown in ways that thrill the little ones.
Cotton has never been 'all fluff' however; she's a ferociously determined and brave one, perhaps more so due to the seeming lack of anger in her. Aside from merely putting herself out for the sake of others as an old woman- traversing the cold as long as possible to deliver her gifts, and even then doing what was possible to visit others who could deliver things in her stead- her younger and more energetic self was more than willing to venture across frigid wilds to even secure a chance to help her friend; something she knew was not necessarily a guarantee, however much she hoped it would be. This determination was such that she took this trek even at the cost of her body- Cotton was injured during this time, and could have lost her own life as well. Even before this, she boldly declared to her friend that she would fight off any who would take him with her very staff. ...Not that such blows were ever traded of course.
For all that the elderly cookie doesn't have such strength to prove herself in her age, this is clearly the same person however matured and weakened in age. Even still she speaks only of the best of people as she sees it, aiding others of her village with a caring heart. She is perhaps a little melancholic at times- remembering in her dreams that friend of hers she risked her life to save- but Cotton keeps an optimistic view on the world around her, acting as a light for all around her.
AU Name: Camelia Cotton
AU Age: 64
AU Birthday: Nov 18
AU History:
🐑 Born on a sheep farm, Cotton's early years were spent surrounded by the country and tending to sheep. Before she could start high school, someone bought up her family farm- unknown to her, this was because it was situated almost directly over a site of magic.
🐑 As a consequence of having spent so much time over such a location, her family acquired various minor traits or abilities, making it difficult for her father to find new work. He would eventually get hired by Zodiac- that, or a company which would one day go on to form Zodiac.
🐑 Due to this, Cotton- whose own 'abilities' manifested simply as soft hair and innate understanding of the wildlife- was able to obtain a job with the same company after leaving high school. Simple desk work, but a job was a job.
🐑 Time would pass, and Cotton stuck with the company- or at least whatever carried her to Zodiac, if Zodiac didn't exist in the 80s- and while minor promotions occurred she would only ever go as far as secretarial office work, albeit with a lot of seniority.
🐑 A seeming permanent fixture of the building now, there's debate going around on if she'll actually retire by the next year; finances are still a bit tricky in her words, and she also likes having something to do.
🐑 As it stands, she's been in Kaisou ever since that farm was bought up- her over all response to this spike in the supernatural has thus been 'oh my- how exciting!'
AU Personality Differences:
🐑 Without the ceiling of CRK's media portrayal limits, Cotton more overtly has experience in dealing with Loss, recognizing the more grim aspects of tragedy. This doesn't change her kindness, but rather makes her capable of addressing it.
🐑 It would be more accurate to say her personality is 'elaborated' on than 'different'- the 'real world' allows her to be more clearly patient with others, expressing no worse than calm disapproval during true disagreement. In her words, violence only begets sour moods and more violence, and she simply hasn't the time for that kind of thing.
🐑 As it stands, she's willing to stab at the harsh truth of a situation if she feels someone has been truly foolish; she'll still do it with a side offering of a cup of hot cocoa.
Element: Fire
Purchased Flaws:
🐑 Bad Vision - Low - Cotton needs reading glasses. (+1)
🐑 Joint Pain - Low - She's pretty spry given her age, but using powers (among other fine tasks) still hurts! (+1)
Purchased Powers:
🐑 Animal Empathy (1)
🐑 Low Heat Resistance (1, Fire Element)
🐑 Medium Spice Tolerance (2, Fire Element)
🐑 Medium Prophecy (2); Cotton knits her prophecies, as vaguely relevant objects, patterns, or even simple images. She doesn't really think about it as she knits.
Appearance Regains:
🐑 Low Hair Change - Her hair is astonishingly fluffy and soft...almost like cotton! (It's not cotton)
🐑 Low Eye Change - Her eyes seem to lack a pupil. She promises these aren't cataracts.
