A reclusive and ever-smiling chemist of potions, Prune Juice Cookie is a stark contrast to the sweet magicians that make up the Parfaedia Institute's student body. Nevertheless, he is chosen as their representative in the Triple Cone Cup, pitting his reserved but sharp mind against the likes of Capsaicin Cookie and Kouign-Amann Cookie.
When you smell the fragrant yet subtle scent of plums across the door at the top of the endlessly spiraling staircase, you know Prune Juice Cookie is brewing his magic potions! This Cookie, made from the richest and most potent prune juice, is the best potion maker at the Parfaedia Institute. His potions are amazingly effective-just a single sip will have you feeling the dizzying effects! They say that his outstanding talent is not the sole reason he picked the efficient minimalistic art of potions over fancy, sweet dessert magic... But perhaps it's not so smart to snoop around the genius potion maker, as his charms and theatrics will persuade you to buy all of his potions! Even if you don't understand his true intentions, the effort he puts into his potion-making is evident in the ever-boiling cauldron and notebooks covered in potion stains.
Soulstone Description[]
This stone holds a piece of Prune Juice Cookie's soul. The dark and rich bluish light looks like it's about to spill, but essence is exactly what held Prune Juice Cookie together—the pain, the resolve, everything!
For Prune Juice Cookie's regular attack, he throws a Prune Juice Bottle at the farthest enemy, poisoning the target and nearby enemies. Upon using his Skill, Prune Juice Cookie will throw a giant Prune Juice Bottle containing poison. When the bottle shatters, it will inflict Poison DMG Boost, Sticky Goo, Poison, and summon Prune Jellies. The HP of summoned Prune Jellies are reduced by the number of hits. Summoned Prune Jellies will spread Prune Gas from time to time, poisoning nearby enemies. Summoned Prune Jellies are consisted of poison, immune to any kind of periodic effects and are not affected by Shield or Healing.

Prune Juice Cookie is a gaunt, feeble Cookie of average height with pallid dough. His plum hair takes a tiered hime cut style with blunt bangs that ends near his knees. Choice sections of fringe trail downwards in stringy globules. His eyes most often sit closed in a pleasant and unassuming expression, though when opened, they show a striking, icy cyan color with white, slit pupils. His mouth has a dark violet color and sits in a coy yet sly smile.
He wears a broad mushroom cap-like witch's hat in a cool aurora gradient, notably resembling the main unit of the Ink Cap Alembic Decor and, in turn, real-life ink cap mushrooms (Coprinopsis atramentaria). A leathery tag label strung with mahogany twine wraps about the hat like a band. Similar to his hair, the brim of his hat rains down inky gobs, much like a dripping ink cap mushroom.
Prune Juice Cookie wears a dust grey cloak about his shoulders with an onyx plum-shaped fastener, an attached cape with an indigo-teal gradient underside trailing from it. Below the cloak, he wears a long black gown against heavy white sleeves and a turtleneck collar, the body of the gown being adorned with a night sky gradient center panel embellished with astrological symbols. These symbols take the shapes of a crescent moon, a star, and a circle (perhaps a full moon). His hands are protected by mid-forearm-length leather gloves.
Curiously, the backside of Prune Juice Cookie's cape closely somewhat resembles the cape of Espresso Cookie in its scalloped edge design.
Personality[]
Prune Juice Cookie is a polite yet ambitious Cookie with a deep interest in potions. Utilizing his mastery of potions, he sells and offers different kinds of concoctions to his peers in order to cure their ailments and needs for a fair price. His primary goal is to gain fame and prestige through his craft in order to become well-known and well-paid wherever he goes, thus earning himself the comfortable lifestyle he ultimately desires. His quiet, egocentric personality is one of his most prominent traits, as he does not consider any other Cookie to match his talents in potion-making. However, he is also ruthlessly competitive and willing to take risks to demonstrate his capabilities, as seen in the Triple Cone Cup competitions.
Prune Juice Cookie is quite perceptive and calculative, masking his true plans behind a friendly-looking facade to others. Despite his confidence in his own craft, he avoids underestimating other Cookies and their strengths, instead wondering aloud about their abilities in order to uncover any weaknesses. His own mannerisms and self-deprecation often lead others to underestimate his abilities, which allows him to surprise them with his potions due to their lowered expectations. This attitude stems from his past, when he had to come to terms with his inability to wield magic despite being enrolled in Parfaedia. He refuses to admit that this still affects him greatly, instead choosing to mask it by focusing on his potions, although he sometimes allows his bitterness towards "naturally-gifted" Cookies to show.
However, Prune Juice Cookie is not incapable of empathy, as he eventually befriends his rivals Capsaicin Cookie and Kouign-Amann Cookie throughout the Triple Cone Cup's trials. Although he did not initially plan on doing so, their friendship grows stronger throughout the trials, leading Prune Juice Cookie to value them as capable friends worth aiding and sacrificing his goals for. He learns from them how to have a sense of worth even without his potions, just as they learn from him how even seemingly-powerless Cookies can do great things.
Trivia[]
According to his loading screen trivia, “Prune Juice Cookie is said to be extra focused when he’s naming his new potions. He’s become so good at it that he’s thinking of making it a new side-business!”
Prune Juice Cookie was born without the innate magic that Cookies generally hold, lending him to an inability to perform Dessert Magic. Similarly (and perhaps relatedly), Prune Juice Cookie has very low stamina and is shown to have difficulty running, possibly indicating that he has a sort of Cookie myopathy or another comparable condition.
Prune Juice Cookie is currently the last Cookie to use the default gacha music on their featured Gacha banner. All subsequent featured banners, including the Cookies released in the Invitation from the Slumbering Moon update before him, have a unique melody.
Potion Merchant Cookie
Prune Juice Cookie briefly appears in Legend of the Red Dragon as the Potion Merchant Cookie, an "NPC" merchandising elixirs and potions in Dragon City Square.
Prune Juice Cookie's loading screen quote "Red or blue. Pick one!" and Kingdom overworld quote "Which potion do you need today? A red one? Or, perhaps, blue..?" are possibly references to the red and blue pills from The Matrix.
The name of a potion he uses during the Triple Cone Cup Story, the "I'll Be Back" potion, may be a reference to the 1984 film The Terminator.
Prune Juice Cookie's Taiwanese voice actor, Zhang Teng, also provides the voice of Dark Cacao Cookie.
