Pavlova Cookie (Korean: 파블로바맛 쿠키, pabulloba-mat kuki) is an Epic Cookie released in the Garden of Sweet Delights update (v6.4) alongside 
Eternal Sugar Cookie. He is of the 
Ranged type and his position is prioritized to the 
Rear.
Pavlova Cookie is a faithful follower of Eternal Sugar Cookie—the Beast of Sloth—, leading 
Hollyberry Cookie and her group to the Garden of Sweet Delights. Pavlova Cookie is a bringer of Happiness on behalf of his master's teachings, doing so by spreading love. Seemingly having the ability to sense love, he gratuitously and giddily peeks into the hearts of Cookies to sense what type of love their heart desires, regardless of the type, much to the target's annoyance. Despite appearing to enjoy his duty, his actions sometimes indicate a wish to flee...

Appearance[]
Pavlova Cookie is a petite, delicate Cookie with soft peach-toned dough and crimson eyes, each adorned with ruby-red, heart-shaped irises. His small mouth is perpetually curled into a heart-like smile. His hair cascades in dramatic, candy-colored layers: a bold strawberry-red swoop crowns the center, flanked by softer pink locks, while the back features four more tufts in a pale pink-and-white hue. A crimson ribbon is neatly tied at the back of his head, securing the airy strands. From his back sprout a pair of cupid-like wings, feathered in white and gentle pink tones and swirling meringue-like shapes.
He wears a flowing red himation with three tiered ruffles sweeping to the left (mirroring Eternal Sugar Cookie) gathered at the waist with a deep crimson ribbon. Beneath this outer garment is a sleeveless white tunic, featuring a wing-shaped flourish draped over his right shoulder and connected to puffy white bloomers just visible beneath the hem. His shoes are dainty and white, wrapped with crimson ribbons that coil just below the knee, mirrored by a similar ribbon wrap along his right arm.
Floating behind his head like a holy emblem is a halo-like crown: eight sculpted leaves interspersed with four raspberries and four halved strawberries. Pavlova Cookie is rarely seen with feet on the ground, gliding gracefully with his bow in hand: a white-and-pink weapon with upturned nocks and a red heart engraved on its grip. His arrows are just as ornate: white shafts with leaf fletching, white-pink meringue at the base, and arrowheads crafted from sliced strawberries shaped like hearts.
Personality[]
Pavlova Cookie is an eccentric, whimsical, and overly romantic messenger of joy, obsessed with the idea of love and emotional fulfillment. He is theatrical, dramatic, and playful, often treating tragic events as beautiful stories, showing a flair for the melodramatic and a fascination with bittersweet emotions. While he presents himself as cheerful and benevolent, his methods are manipulative, invasive, and self-serving, guided more by his own ideals of "Happiness" than by respect for others' autonomy.
Immature and impulsive, Pavlova Cookie seeks validation through his role as a deliverer of joy, yet lacks true empathy, often ignoring consent or boundaries in favor of pursuing what he deems best. He has a teasing, intrusive streak, playfully poking at others' feelings, especially romantic ones, as though they were plotlines in one of his idealized love stories. Fixated on emotional drama, he romanticizes vulnerability and discomfort alike, seeing even rejection or pain as beautiful parts of a grand narrative. His obsession with love leads him to meddle in others' relationships, often blind to their discomfort, as he treats emotions like a game meant to be stirred, not understood.
Despite his charm and charisma, he is naive, emotionally shallow, and subordinate to Eternal Sugar Cookie, whom he fears but loyally obeys. He hides a growing sense of doubt beneath his smiles, subtly restless and conflicted beneath his devotion to the Garden. Though he clings desperately to the dream of eternal Happiness, there are cracks in his facade, moments of hesitation, nervous laughter, or hollow reassurances that hint at repressed unease. Ultimately, he is a misguided figure whose desire to "fill hearts with love" veils a need for control, a lack of self-awareness, and a quiet fear of what lies beyond the fantasy around which he has built his identity.
Character Inspiration[]
Pavlova Cookie is heavily based on Eros, the Greek god of love, desire, and physical attraction. Known to the Romans as Cupid, he is a winged deity who wields a bow and arrow, with his arrowheads capable of causing those struck by them to fall madly in love with others. He is generally known as a son of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. As one derived from Eros/Cupid, Pavlova Cookie resembles the amorino of historical fine art. His halo of berries naturally derives from the halo of religious imagery.
Pavlova Cookie's namesake ingredient is a meringue-based cake topped with fruit. Meringue only requires egg whites and sugar to make, befitting his loyalty to Eternal Sugar Cookie, while his selection of specifically strawberry and raspberry toppings is perhaps a nod to the Hollyberry Kingdom's berry-based denizens.
The marriage of Pavlova Cookie's cultural inspiration and main ingredient is perhaps a play on words, as "pavlova" partially contains the word "love."
Trivia[]
- Pavlova Cookie's loading screen trivia states, "Even Pavlova Cookie cannot see what his heart truly desires."
- Pavlova Cookie's
Red Thread Debuff is named after the red thread of fate, an East Asian belief in which soulmates are bound to each other by an invisible red thread tied around their fingers. - Pavlova Cookie's Taiwanese voice actress, Chen Zhenyu, also provides the voices of Pumpkin Pie Cookie and Frost Queen Cookie.
References[]
- ↑ Inferred; Pavlova Cookie is repeatedly referred to with child-related phrases by both Eternal Sugar Cookie and Hollyberry Cookie like "little," "little one," and "still young with much to learn." The latter instance's original Korean text said by Eternal Sugar Cookie is "파블로바맛 쿠키는 반죽이 말랑해서 아직 시야가 좁지요," translating as "Pavlova Cookie is narrow-minded because his dough is still soft" with soft dough being a known characteristic of young Cookies. Furthermore, Pavlova Cookie is heavily based on Eros/Cupid and resembles the amorino, all of which are famously-young figures.
