Character Inspiration

Banoffee cookie seems to play a similar role to that of the Gisaeng (기생), describing mainly women charged with keeping company to high ranking people. A Gisaeng was usually part of the court. Their main occupation was to seduce the higher-ups with her artistic talents such as dancing and singing.

As Dark Cacao Cookie's official dancer along with his sisters, his dances are inspired by shàn zi wǔ (扇子舞), a traditional dance performed in a group with fans. The dancers wear sumptuous costumes representing shapes such as birds, butterflies, flowers, waves and more.

Concerning his family clan but also ancestral, it is based on the Zōng zú (宗族), Banoffee acting as Zōng zhǔ (宗主), meaning Clan Leader.

Appearance

Banoffee Cookie is a thin, standard-sized cookie with a light dough. His eyes have a yellow glow, often compared to amber. Excessively long and pointed lashes, bluish eyeshadow, he wears a thin, reserved smile though paved with mysterious intentions.

His creamy hair with the caramelized locks is also excessively long, a part being bound in a perfect bun, this last one decorated with a brooch with cloudy forms. He wears an accessory with two slices of chocolate bananas at the ends with on each side, a transparent yellow ribbon. Two long locks overhang his face, tied in the bun. Two thin strands pass in front of his face, also attached to the bun. The length of his hair is a sign of respect and precious family heritage.[1]

Banoffee Cookie's clothing is based on the Chinese Hanfu (汉服) style. The ensemble is composed of several layers.

For the first layer, Banoffee wears a simple white mamianqun (马面裙) skirt followed by a blue quju (曲裾) dress with brown trim and a white collar as the second layer. Finally, as a third layer, he wears a yellow Beizi (褙子) coat (or daxiushan (大袖衫)) with brown trim and blue cloud patterns, adorned with a brown belt and a slice of chocolate banana with two ribbons around his waist.

He is also surrounded by a transparent blue cloud ribbon.

The main accessory that Banoffee uses for his magic, attacks and activity is his fan. It has a yellow base followed by a white cloth with caramel and blue cloud patterns.

Although he lives near the Dark Cacao Kingdom, Banoffee Cookie is the only one in the Citadel who does not wear the colors and patterns of the Kingdom. This is justified by the fact that he wears the colors of his own clan: Yellow, Blue and cloudy patterns,the Xiangyun ( 祥云 ). Thus, he seeks to stand out for reasons that he alone is content to keep.

In China, Yellow is a symbol of royalty and is considered the most prestigious and beautiful color of all.

Blue is a symbol of integrity, of peace. According to old folklore, blue was a color that repelled evil spirits and served as a protection against them.

Xiangyun clouds symbolize the celestial realm, the Paradise.

Personnality

 Claiming to justify his actions by simply protecting his sisters and clan, Banoffee Cookie seeks to rise to the highest ranks in order to have the King and his Court in the palm of his hands, in order to ensure his total blessing by King Dark Cacao Cookie.

Pretentious, narcissistic and full of ego, he is convinced that he has the upper hand over the Court and its King. He's not looking to usurp the throne, just to make the Kingdom pay for what he failed to do.

Banoffee Cookie is skilled in the hypnotic arts and is very persuasive. A snap of his fingers, a smile and a look and the weakest and most easily impressed are at his feet. He describes himself as a divine person, a God. He despises the Kingdom and its subjects.

His plans were thwarted when Affogato Cookie arrived in the Kingdom and began to interfere in the affairs of the Kingdom until he became the King's Royal Advisor. From there, Banoffee Cookie and Affogato Cookie will get in each other's way, desperately trying to eliminate each other. Both will be so preoccupied with themselves that they won't even realize how close they are to each other.

Banoffee Cookie is surprisingly a somewhat reserved person, a trace of his person going back to childhood. That's why he always hides behind his fan, whatever the situation. Sometimes he doesn't use his accessory, only when he loses his temper and is overcome by his emotions. He is an extremely calm person, the cookie that managed to make him go out of his mind being Affogato Cookie.

He is also very strict when it comes to his family and clan. Nothing is more important than his family.

His clan is one of the most prestigious in the area. He and his sisters take care of it so that it is a true haven of peace. Banoffee is uncompromising when it comes to his six sisters, taking care of them and raising them while he was still a child because of the death of their parents. However, his relationship with his sisters is catastrophic.

Banoffee Cookie never gets his hands dirty, he prefers to leave the dirty work to his henchmen or to people who would do anything for him.

When he needs to isolate himself, to think or simply a quiet place, he usually takes refuge in the forest, in front of a big tree richly decorated where all the birds meet. Banoffee Cookie only has eyes for these birds and he never gets tired of spending time with them. He can be incredibly sweet and smiley when he's around them.
