Character Inspiration[]
Rebel Cookie is heavily based on Hong Gildong (홍길동) of the novel Hong Gildong jeon (홍길동전)/The Biography of Hong Gildong. A highly iconic folk hero in Korean culture, Hong Gildong was the genius son of a powerful man, being born with supernatural powers and incredible martial arts prowess. Hong Gildong left his well-to-do lifestyle and became the leader of a band of thieves dedicated to stealing from caches of resources across the country and giving them to the needy. Such relates closely to Rebel Cookie's skills in cloning magic and combat as well as his affinity for a righteous redistribution of wealth. More specifically, Hong Gildong is famously known to have had the power to clone himself using straw dolls and to control and "ride" the wind[3], both of which Rebel Cookie himself is capable.
Additionally, Hong Gildong is strongly associated with wearing a cobalt blue coat, white bandana, and straw hat due to Shin Dong Wu (신동우)'s depiction of the character in his 1960's publication Hong Gildong[4]. Rebel Cookie's own appearance exactly matches this archetypal outfit.
Rebel Cookie's release in Cookie Run: Kingdom to commemorate the Lunar Year of the Dragon also relates to Hong Gildong and was likely carefully planned. It is said that Hong Gildong was conceived after his father witnessed dreams of a great blue dragon, and such indicated to the father that his child would have magnificent powers[5]; this detail of a blue dragon brings to mind the sapphire Mint Cream Dragon decoration and its prevalence in Rebel Cookie's introductory update, Dawn of the Dragon (v4.16).
