Moonlight Cookie

Moonlight Cookie's graceful wavy hair shines under the night sky, elegant and mystical as ever. She was created by the ancient wizards and learned the secrets of the City of Wizards. Now, all the wizards are gone and she is the only one left to protect the city. She is the strongest while in her dreams, therefore is able to protect the city from intruders. Whenever she feels sad, she falls asleep, where she is able to lean by her friend Moon and draw in the night sky with her Star friends to cheer up.

Moonlight Cookie is an average-height Cookie with faded golden dough and a spindly frame. Her round, kind eyes, gently sloping downwards atop rosy cheeks, are periwinkle with sharp lashes. She has a caring expression rendered by a sweet plum smile and a thin eyebrow raised in slight curiosity. The spellcaster's locks are a billowing night sky of twinkling stardust, borne in a void of black and fading in an indigo moonset; the bangs upon her head are split into three rounded sections with one curled upon her forehead and two symmetrically framing her face.

Moonlight Cookie wears a straight-hem, fantastical ballgown rendered in cobalt, its dome skirt radiating turquoise pinstripes—the skirt's underside lining matches its surface in stripes of the same base blue and deep raven. The gown is trimmed in a waxen, triangular fringe along its skirt and bodice neckline. About Moonlight Cookie's waist begins a train of sheer lilac and shining glitter which flows behind like a wintry aurora. Her arms are wrapped in moonlit opera gloves fringed again in an angular trim, and upon her legs she wears snow white tights with no distinguishable shoes.

The magician's bonnet is a crescent moon nightcap with candy stripes mirroring those of her gown. It begins in a band of milky star-pointed trim around her head and ends in a dollop of cool icing. Like a bride's veil, from the cap trails another sheath of aurora tulle. Moonlight Cookie steadfastly carries the key to the City of Wizards, a gilt staff topped with an ornament of a crescent moon and enveloped star. Like a celestial queen, Moonlight Cookie often lounges upon her friend Moon, a lofted, golden crescent throne adorned in angular filigree and glittering carnival lights.

Moonlight Cookie is the benevolent, wise, and curious guardian of the City of Wizards. Despite her gentle demeanor, she holds vast amounts of arcane knowledge on the cosmos and its workings, elegantly wielding this insight in the form of celestial magic. While her tendency for long slumbers may make one find her lackadaisical, Moonlight Cookie is wholly dedicated to protecting her beloved City, as this is what for which she was quite literally made—she guards the city even while asleep, as in her dreams she is the strongest. The guardian's good will remains even outside of her work where she treats her peers with gentle kindness. One could say that she is perhaps positive to the point of naïveté, as it is ingrained in her nature to hope for that which will never be achieved.

Moonlight Cookie was raised by the Wizards both like she was their family and their passion project, simultaneously like a gifted daughter and a fledgling prophet. The Great Sage of the Wizards came to be most like a father to her, and she remained his companion. The little sorceress was instilled with the Wizards' own beliefs of happiness and the pursuits of knowledge, breeding to her lasting respect and wonder towards the world's every facet. Moonlight Cookie's youth was one of adoration and (perhaps ignorant) bliss, but not even this could last forever—despite their advancements, the Wizards were still human and were bound to leave her one day. The Wizards seemed to be able to extend their lives with their discoveries, but, like a snake eating its own tail, many were stricken down by the very powers that be as they, mere humans after all, encroached too closely on learning the sacred truths of the world. Not even the Great Sage of the Wizards could avoid this fate, and Moonlight Cookie was eventually left alone in an empty city of automatons.

The Wizards' prodigy has committed herself to watching over the City of Wizards, but, despite her conviction, her heart is filled with longing for her lost family—especially for the Great Sage, her surrogate father. Moonlight Cookie was taught to think in terms of perpetuity and believes that the Wizards being away now only ensures that she will be able to see them anew someday—for now, she somberly waits in the City and replays the Sage's warm voice in her mind on moonlit nights.
