Appearance[]
GingerBrave is a somewhat small, slightly wide Cookie with warm golden brown dough, cerulean eyes, and a red smile. On his head is a tuft of white icing "hair". He has skull-shaped buttons on his torso and carries a white candy cane with red stripes. He does not wear clothes.
Personality[]
Being the protagonist of his story, GingerBrave is depicted as friendly and highly empathetic with a clear sense of justice. Due to his nature, GingerBrave gets along well with most everyone he encounters, even nearly convincing 
Dark Choco Cookie himself to join his group against Dark Enchantress Cookie. GingerBrave deeply cares for everyone who he deems as friendly—or, at least, those who aren't his direct enemies. He is willing to dive back into danger to save his companions, as he strictly sticks to his motto of "no Cookie left behind". He also doesn't hold back when confronting 
Dark Enchantress Cookie's subordinates, most notably with the callous 
Pomegranate Cookie and the disruptive 
Licorice Cookie.
Being extraordinarily brave, GingerBrave is seen as a beacon of hope by his group and his other allies due to his unwavering determination when it comes to facing every challenge on his way. In situations where all seem lost, GingerBrave is the one to inspire his allies and gather them to defeat their foe.
Despite being a symbol of bravery and hope, GingerBrave's experience with being one of the first to escape the Witch's oven still silently haunts him to the present day. He attempts to shield others from the horrible truth of existing to be eaten whenever appropriate to keep their hopes and wills high and alive.
Trivia[]
Birthday Brave
- June 12th, 2009, the anniversary of the original OvenBreak title and GingerBrave's debut, is treated by Devsisters as GingerBrave's "birthday" and is often referred to as Brave Day. To celebrate the occasion, GingerBrave adopted a special birthday hat and cane from June 2nd to June 21st, 2021. This was added as a permanent costume for his 2022 birthday as the Costumes feature was only added in October 2021.
- June 12th is considered GingerBrave's "birthday" only in a "date of creation" sense in regards to his existence as a concept; it is not treated as his true birthday within the Cookie Run canon and does not indicate that GingerBrave is canonically 15 years old.
- Starting August 19th, 2021, in anticipation for the release of Kingdom's Japanese dub, hashflag images depicting emoji versions of GingerBrave along with
Strawberry Cookie, Madeleine Cookie, Espresso Cookie, and Purple Yam Cookie were added to Twitter alongside hashtags of their names. For GingerBrave, his hashflag would appear alongside these hashtags (not case sensitive): 
GingerBrave's Hashflag
- #GingerBrave
- #CookieRun
- #용감한쿠키 (yong-gamhan kuki, GingerBrave's Korean name)
- #勇敢なクッキー (yūkanna kukkī, GingerBrave's Japanese name)
- #クッキーラン (kukkīran, Cookie Run's Japanese name)
- Notably, the Korean Cookie Run hashtag, #쿠키런 (kukileon), did not generate a GingerBrave hashflag.
- According to Strawberry Crepe Cookie's analysis, GingerBrave is comprised of "100% bravery", making him "perfectly ordinary".
- Gingerbrave's Costumes are the only Common Costumes to have a special Arena loading screen asset.
- GingerBrave had a brother named Dozer, who perished in the Witch's House in the original OvenBreak game. Dozer makes no appearances in most other Cookie Run titles, nor does he appear when GingerBrave makes his escape at the beginning of Kingdom, implying that he does not exist in the Kingdom timeline.
- The Ferris Wheel of the Bustling Amusement Park Theme, the Bonus Time Bench, and the dumbbells in Muscle Cookie's Gym Machine are based on GingerBrave's Combi Pet, Choco Drop.
- GingerBrave was the first Cookie present in Kingdom whose name in English does not contain "Cookie".
- GingerBrave's original name in Korean (용감한 쿠키, yong-gamhan kuki) translates to Brave Cookie in English. It is also used in all other official translations of the game and franchise with the exception of French (Cookie Téméraire which translates to Reckless Cookie), Indonesian (same name as English), and Russian (Печенька Смельчак, which translates to Daredevil Cookie)[3].
