Overview |
Avatar of Destiny (Korean: 운명의 대천사, unmyeong-ui daecheonsa, "Archangel of Destiny") is an NPC who first appeared in the Festival of Dreams & Wishes mid-update (v3.5). It made its first Story appearance in the Farers of the Faraway Seas update (v6.7).
The Avatar of Destiny upon initial release was merely a Boss in Guild Battle, having no proper Story roles. Beginning with Farers of the Faraway Seas, silent appearances by the behemoth in Stories revealed it to be a malignant force powered by extraterrestrial Witches and worshiped by the St. Pastry Order. The Order's 
leadership teaches its practitioners to sacrifice their bodies to the Avatar for consumption, all in hopes of forming a divine singularity: the Whole Dough.
Appearance[]
The Avatar of Destiny is a large, birdlike humanoid creature with the majority of its body shrouded by white feathers and wings. While most visible parts of the Avatar's skin appear to be black, a blueish color can be seen by one of its sleeves behind its three claws. The undersides of its feathers appear to be blue, with the wings covering its torso appearing to shield a starburst shaped object. Small white dots resembling stars can be seen near the shard, indicating an empty void or otherwise lack of physical body. Puffy white feathers can be seen around its neck with three waffle-patterned triangles on its front and chocolate syrup dripping underneath it. A navy sash with gold accents is floating around its back.
The Avatar lying in wait
Its head has two small black wings on either side of it, a five-pronged crown on top of it, and a waffle-patterned circle behind it with four large triangles and twelve smaller triangles around its circumference. The Avatar's eyes appear to be perpetually closed with a single white teardrop design beneath each of them. It also has two brown eyes with prominent eyelashes and diamond-shaped pupils on its upper wings and a glowing, eye-like yellow diamond on its forehead. As the Truth of the Order cutscene shows, its main eyes only open just before it consumes Doughael; the eyes show small black pupils during this time. It also flashes a malignant smile through a melting mouth at the same time.
Character Inspiration[]
The Avatar of Destiny appears to be based on the angels of Abrahamic religion, specifically archangels and seraphim. Seraphim are described as having six wings: two to cover its face, two to cover its feet, and two with which to fly. The name "seraphim" itself is derived from the Hebrew word שָׂרָף (saraph), meaning "to burn." This can be seen in the Avatar's Destiny: Punishment Skill that applies 
Burn to its targets via a column of light. The Avatar may also draw inspiration from the ophanim, meaning "wheels," which are described as being several golden wheels with eyes covering their exterior. This can be seen in the large circle behind its head and in the multiple eyes on its wings and face.
The Avatar of Destiny shares its closed eyes, prominent eyelashes, and wings with the Sugar Swan. The Sugar Swan is known as being a powerful, mythical entity, with 
Wizard Cookie even (mistakenly) crediting the Swan with the creation of all Cookies. This may indicate a pattern of mythical beings of Earthbread sharing birdlike motifs.
Trivia[]
- The Avatar of Destiny's original Korean name (운명의 대천사, unmyeong-ui daecheonsa) directly translates as Archangel of Destiny in English.
