The storms lately have put all sailing to a stop, The ships will start arriving once the weather clears up though! With new Cookies to meet! And—

DOOOOT!

perfect timing, two ships docked into the port. They looked fancy, but sturdy. You’ve never seen ships like this, where do they hail from? You might get the chance to get the answer to that question…

“That storm came out of nowhere!”

"Steady but surely!" Guildmaster Jagae Cookie bellows as she hoists the colors of her trade ship, shouting her guild's motto. Rising to the rank of Guildmaster at a young age, she earned the trust and admiration of everyone in just three days—with grit, good taste, and an unwavering sense of responsibility. Goods that don't meet her strict standards never find their way into her ship's hold, and she honors every promise she makes, no matter the cost. Maybe it's the harsh seas that toughened her up—or maybe she simply refuses to be seen as a soft bread. Her gruff sailor's talk might intimidate some, but behind that hardened shell is a Cookie who always puts her customers first. Some merchants say she's like a pearl hidden inside a tough shell... but best not tell her that!

“Aye, the waters have been finicky lately... Thankfully the ship and our wares are intact, ma'am!”

one of the members said.

“The sooner we arrive at the Republic, the better... No... safety comes first. Moor at the nearest port and inspect the ship!”

Jagae Cookie commands. And so, they do exactly that, checking the wares and inspecting the ship. Once you got over there, a merchant on the Jagae ship called out to you.

“Hey! You've never heard of the Jagae Guild before?”

On the other ship, the Manju Guild, a merchant from that side scoffed.

”Ha ha! Jagae Guild? Bunch of backwater peddlers! The Manju Guild, on the other hand, is famous across the world!”

once you informed them you’ve never heard of them, they looked shocked.

”What? You two have never heard of us? ... Where on Earthbread did we end up?”

”Y'all never heard of THE Manju Guild? Ya know, the guild that trades everything and anything imaginable?”

Jagae Cookie had enough of their squabble.

“Alright, enough yapping! Didn't I order you to inspect the ship for any damages?”

”... Right, right! Apologies, Captain!”

Whoa! Those two (Manju Cookie and Jagae Cookie) know how to run a crew! . . . Jagae Cookie is slim and has sandstone dough. Her eyes are multicolored—pale blue, green, and lavender hues. Her floor-length hair is black and glimmers like a luxurious accessory, catching the light with a subtle sheen. Her hairstyle is elaborate and formal: two large, rounded loops in the manner of the seonnyeomeoli style with a small bun positioned at the back. The remaining hair flows down her back, loosely tied. Atop her head rests a jokduri-inspired white headpiece, adorned with a dangling norigae made of a teal pearl and yellow-purple tassel. She wears a stylized black jeogori with a chin-length high collar, detailed with curly white fur trim along the collar and cuffs. The sleeves are oversized, draping dramatically with a Y-shaped pattern running down them in soft gradients of yellow, white, pink, and lavender. A central white otgoreum (Korean: 옷고름, "collar/ribbon/string") hangs asymmetrically at the front—one loop large and full, the other slim, with one long tail trailing downward. Her skirts are layered and draped: beneath, she wears a short black mini-skirt, partially concealed by two overlapping chima skirts.On her feet, she wears black footwear secured at the ankle with lavender crisscross straps. Her weapon is a comically oversized hapjukseonz. The fan's leaves are pure white, contrasting with the black guard that’s lacquered in intricate lavender mother-of-pearl patterns. The sticks of the fan are also black, detailed with butterfly motifs when she spreads it.

Jagae Cookie is a blunt, hot-blooded leader who values loyalty, strength, and action over appearances or niceties. and puts the safety of her crew and guild above all else.
