Hollyberry Cookie's Soul Jam

The Hollyberry Kingdom is a kingdom founded by Hollyberry Cookie Hollyberry Cookie. Currently, it is ruled by Royal Berry Cookie and Jungleberry Cookie, with Princess Cookie Princess Cookie being its princess. It is also the birthplace of Tiger Lily Cookie Tiger Lily Cookie.

Stylistically and thematically, this kingdom takes inspiration from the Rococo and Baroque aesthetics[1]. By extension, this kingdom is likely also based on Romance language-speaking European nations such as France, Portugal, and Spain, and European Romanticism as a philosophy and time period. The kingdom being located in a rainforest area is likely based on South America, the mostly tropical continent with countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela which were once colonized by the latter two aforementioned countries.

The Hollyberry Kingdom is the focus of the Grandberry Market and Hollyberry Palace World Exploration: Crispia Episodes, and its Decoration Theme is Hollyberry Garden Carnival.

Architecture[]

A pie frame, tightly woven together into a sturdy yet aesthetically impressive lattice, is layered with colored jam. To protect the houses from dragonfire, an extra overlay of dense tart is topped with thick jam, again forming an interwoven lattice. From such techniques is born a style of architecture fusing both form and function, aesthetics and endurance. Traditionally, the more luxurious abodes are decorated with an extra flair of frozen berries and vines.

History[]

The Hollyberry Kingdom was founded by its namesake, Hollyberry Cookie, after she defeated an adversary besieging southeastern Crispia. She was named its leader and had a child and heir, Royal Berry Cookie. After the events of the Dark Flour War, Hollyberry Cookie unceremoniously fled from her kingdom in shame, leaving Royal Berry Cookie and his wife Jungleberry Cookie to rule the land as its king and queen. Jungleberry Cookie is known to have more influence and power over the kingdom than Royal Berry Cookie, although the two rule together in peaceful unity.

Jungleberry Cookie and her Tiger Lily Cookie lost daughter

Shortly before Hollyberry Cookie's desertion, the king and queen had two daughters; Princess Cookie and Tiger Lily Cookie, who were graced as the princesses of the kingdom. Just after their birth, however, Tiger Lily Cookie was lost in the wilderness as an infant, and has been lost and estranged from the Hollyberry royal family ever since. When she came of age, Princess Cookie would go on her own adventures outside the kingdom, accompanied only by Knight Cookie Knight Cookie.

Due to the lack of any passionate royal defenders who could wield the Hollyberry Shield, the Pitaya Dragon was able to return to the Kingdom unopposed, and was made the ruler of the Kingdom in exchange for not destroying it. The absence of any true heirs was so pronounced that a Princess Contest was held to find a worthy bearer of the Hollyberry Shield, one that anyone could join so long as they passed the trials.

Confronting the dragon

While Pitaya Dragon Cookie held the throne, Jungleberry Cookie and Royal Berry Cookie acted as figurehead rulers who would institute the dragon's will. During the events of Hollyberry Palace, Pitaya Dragon Cookie was defeated and subsequently usurped by force by Princess Cookie, Hollyberry Cookie, Knight Cookie, and a number of Berry Elites, reinstating Jungleberry Cookie and Royal Berry Cookie into roles of full control. This event also marked Hollyberry Cookie's return as the queen mother of the state.

Founding[]

Cookie lords of the southeastern Crispia, tired of the endless struggle with fruit-eating monsters, saw a light of hope in the young, willful, and charismatic heir of House Berry, Hollyberry Cookie Hollyberry Cookie. Under her heroic leadership, the devastating war with the Tortan was won, and Hollyberry Cookie was unanimously voted Queen of the newly-created Hollyberry Kingdom.

According to The Art of Cookie Run: Kingdom, the Hollyberry Kingdom was founded by its namesake, Hollyberry Cookie Hollyberry Cookie, after she solved southeastern Crispia's monster problem and defeated "the Tortan" (Korean: 타르탄, taleutan), a force never mentioned elsewhere in any media let alone in the game itself. It can be speculated that the Tortan, due to the presence of "the," is a group rather than a single entity. Furthermore, it may be related to or based on tortas, a type of pie or cake, due to its name and tortas tying into the pie theming of the Hollyberry Kingdom.

The original Korean term for the Tortan seems to derive more from the Korean word for tart (타르트, talutu) rather than the Korean word for torta (토르타, toleuta). It is possible, then, for the Tortan to be related to Tarte Tatin Cookie Tarte Tatin Cookie; her name and flavor match with the group, and she likely is already Hollyberrian[2].

Denizens of the Hollyberry Kingdom are referred to as Hollyberrians. Hollyberrians can take a wide variety of body types, from heavyset to relatively thin to muscular depending on their discipline and activities. Their dough tends to be anywhere from a golden bronze to a warm, deep brown, and their hair comes in a variety of jewel tones in generally straight or wavy textures. Their eye colors take a similar vibrancy and almost always display white eyecing. The vast majority of its individuals have fruit—specifically berry—flavors, though rarely they may take plant/flower flavors.

Hollyberrians in general are highly undisciplined and live their lives with a hedonistic philosophy. Befitting a society based on Romanticism, they constantly participate in delicacies and other delights, enjoying social events and displays of artistic talent and heroic bravery. Even those more disciplined, such as the nobility, tend to be highly proud, pampered, and enthusiastic.

Real-life Inspiration[]

As stated by developers, the Hollyberry Kingdom was overall inspired by the Rococo style[1] and the European Romantic era. It is also likely based on Latin Europe, namely France, Italy, and Spain.

The languages of these nations are often known as the "Romance languages". Though "Romance" in this term initially was born from the languages' deriving from Roman vernacular, its modern connotation relates more towards the love-aligned meaning of "romance", and the Hollyberry Kingdom reflects this in its abundance of passion, liveliness, and emotion.

Hollyberrian Cookies, such as Raspberry Cookie Raspberry Cookie and Raspberry Mousse Cookie also often use words and quotes from the French language, as do other facets of their society such as its chateaus (meaning "castle" in English) and pavilions (from pavillon). Looking at the known House Raspberry members specifically, Raspberry Cookie is visually and characteristically similar to the Rose of Versailles protagonist Lady Oscar, a heavily French-inspired character based upon a real figure in the nation's history, and Raspberry Mousse Cookie is clearly inspired by the characters of The Three Musketeers, a classic piece of French literature. The Hollyberry Kingdom's forests are perhaps inspired by the dense forests of France, as well.

A Hollyberrian gondolier

The Hollyberry Kingdom's gondola canals throughout its cities closely reflects iconic gondola travel of Venice, Italy. Along with this, the kingdom's relation to carnivals and festivals draws back to Venice's own rich catalogue of festivities—most notably the world-famous Carnival of Venice. Its devout love of wine (or equivalent beverages) is something characteristic of both Italy and France, and another characteristic originating from both Italy and France is the kingdom's notable adoption of fencing, a sport which has a rich history involving each of these countries. Lastly, the emblematic red-and-green color scheme of the land matches closely with Italy's own green, white, and red flag.

The kingdom being located in a jungle is likely a nod to the Amazon rainforest, located in South America with countries that were under Spanish and Portuguese rule, such as Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela.
