Iberis, Candytuft, Space Traveler
Skill
Stargazing Extravaganza
Iberis Bloom Cookie is pretty straightforward. She doesn’t shy her tongue away through a conversation, and would tend to say things as they go in her mind. Which can turn out to be awkward, to say the very least. She has a natural curiosity, which can sometimes lead her to turmoil if she does not watch herself over! She is lively, boisterous, a real chatter box, and a bit stubborn as well when ticked the wrong way. What else is there to add about her? Some situations can overwhelm her, and she might be out of control, as one of her biggest flaws is her temper- she does not know how to sit down properly and stand still. She always has to say or add something, and would tend to always want to have the last word to say in a topic; this makes her viewed as childish and impudent by others, while those closest to her would tell you that she is actually open-minded and would let them interact with her.
Even when exploring otherworldly realms, she always makes sure her appearance is at her finest! Topped with her beret that has a candytuft blossom on top, her whole attire is here to represent the starry dome above. According to Moonlight Cookie, her portable telescope on her eye came from 'a very ancient and prodigy people that knew how to craft with the skies', but never truly understood which was it precisely. Her hair reflects a different type of universe, however- one from Iberis Bloom Cookie’s very own body. It is tainted and can change depending on her emotions, and is influenced by all the decisions she makes from the bottom of her heart. A new star is born when she knows a new person, they illuminate to their brightest when she is happy, a new supernova is created when her heart is snapped in half, and she is struck with sorrow or anger. Lastly, her starry hair turns dark when she is knocked out. Having the constancy similar to the slime in a lava lamp, it can boil up when she is flustered, and droop down when she gets sluggish. Her boots are equipped with specific soles that allow her to walk on clouds. Her body is covered with burn marks about everywhere.
Story
Before Iberis Bloom Cookie, this one had… no name. They were just a lone flower, with no purpose but to bloom and falter before dawn. She was simply dangling along the wind, lost in the vast void of space. It kept floating around, until it laid on the gown of a wonderful and powerful cookie, the Slumbering Moon. The flower glowed softly against its crystal light. The Cookie has seen beauty and charm in this single flower; she couldn’t simply put it to waste. She decided to cater for it, and baked it under her own hand, following the principles of her predecessors. Combining that single flower with comet-ridden dough and fresh ice cream, she then baked it until it shaped a cookie that reached her level of admiration. It was now ready to thrive and live the life it wanted to lead. But… there was still something missing. She called upon her starry friends, as she would chant a blessing to the newly baked cookie:
“I grant you with a strength known to no other cookie on Earthbread; the natural curiosity that will drive you to follow your instinct, and let it take you where it wants you to be. Always aim for the stars, for they will never leave the roof of this world. And when the realm of cosmos above sends you a message, be not afraid to explore it. Little are those that wonder where comets, turning to shooting stars, aim to go as they are wandering in the vast horizon of space. I grant you with my blessing, so you can always feel drawn to your true heart’s desires, and may the moonlight lull you words of wisdom as it appears in the sky. We shall meet again.”
The slumbering moon then closed her eyes, feeling drowsy…
...
The next night, a cookie woke up in a grassfield. It was dressed all in purple, with an iberis flower blooming atop its hat, and a cape reflecting the many stars atop her. Her eye sparkled on- she felt like she reached stardom! It was like a dream coming true…
Your name is Iberis Bloom Cookie, in honor of the flower you once were. It is now your turn to bloom into something new, and let the shooting stars guide you to your next journey.
The voice she could’ve sworn hearing once whispered to her. Iberis Bloom Cookie… her name? She felt wonderful, to finally have a name of her own, so unique and so sweet! Feeling like this was an innate gesture, her telescope stretched and focused, up in the sky. As she looked on, she noticed a shooting star passing by… but where could it possibly go? She wondered that, as she would feel herself getting lighter and lighter… She was now ready to embark on her own adventure into space, followed by the shooting stars to guide her path!

A list of facts about her now, shall we?
* She draws her energy out of the moon cycle, meaning she's at her maximum during a full moon, and at her weakest during a new moon.
* She runs up to the speed of light at her highest, but that drains her down easily.
* Her skill in-game is directly inspired by one of the attack patterns of Asriel in Undertale's pascifist ending.
* Her staff with the star-shaped bell serves no purpose but call upon shooting stars when she needs to summon them (related to her skill). Because of that, we name her the "shooting stars shephered".
* Behind her telescope resides just a normal eye, colored blue with hints of jade green.
* When she's at her prime, during full moon, she can be easily spotted at night. This is mainly due to her namesake, Iberis, which are flowers known to illuminate under the light of the moon, thus why they are ideally placed in moon gardens.
