GingerBrave

GingerBrave is the protagonist of Cookie Run: Kingdom, who leads the other cookies on a quest to defeat Dark Enchantress Cookie.

## Appearance

GingerBrave is a somewhat small, slightly wide Cookie with warm golden brown dough, cerulean eyes, and a red smile. On his head is a tuft of white hair. He has skull-shaped buttons on his stomach and carries a white candy cane with red stripes. He does not wear clothes.

## Personality

Being the protagonist of his story, GingerBrave is depicted as friendly and highly empathetic with a clear sense of justice. Due to his nature, GingerBrave gets along well with most everyone he encounters, even nearly convincing Dark Choco Cookie himself to join his group against Dark Enchantress Cookie. GingerBrave deeply cares for everyone who he deems as friendly—or, at least, those who aren't his direct enemies. He is willing to dive back into danger to save his companions, as he strictly sticks to his motto of "no Cookie left behind". He also doesn't hold back when confronting  Dark Enchantress Cookie's subordinates, most notably with the callous Pomegranate Cookie and the disruptive Licorice Cookie.

Being extraordinarily brave, GingerBrave is seen as a beacon of hope by his group and his other allies due to his unwavering determination when it comes to facing every challenge on his way. In situations where all seem lost, GingerBrave is the one to inspire his allies and gather them to defeat their foe.

Despite being a symbol of bravery and hope, GingerBrave's experience with being one of the first to escape the Witch's oven still silently haunts him to the present day. He attempts to shield others from the horrible truth of existing to be eaten whenever appropriate to keep their hopes and wills high and alive.

## Trivia

* June 12th, 2009, the anniversary of the original *OvenBreak* title and GingerBrave's debut, is treated by Devsisters as GingerBrave's "birthday" and is often referred to as Brave Day.
	+ June 12th is considered GingerBrave's "birthday" only in a "date of creation" sense in regards to his existence as a concept; it is not treated as his true birthday within the Cookie Run canon and does not indicate that GingerBrave is canonically 13 years old.
* Starting August 19th, 2021, in anticipation for the release of Kingdom's Japanese dub, hashflag images depicting emoji versions of GingerBrave along with Strawberry Cookie,  Madeline Cookie,  Espresso Cookie, and  Purple Yam Cookie were added to Twitter alongside hashtags of their names. For GingerBrave, his hashflag would appear alongside these hashtags (not case sensitive):
	+ #GingerBrave
	+ #CookieRun
	+ #용감한쿠키 (*yong-gamhan kuki,* GingerBrave's Korean name)
	+ #勇敢なクッキー (*yūkanna kukkī,* GingerBrave's Japanese name)
	+ #クッキーラン (*kukkīran,* Cookie Run's Japanese name)
		- Notably, the Korean Cookie Run hashtag, #쿠키런 (*kukileon*), did not generate a GingerBrave hashflag.
* According to  Strawberry Crepe Cookie's analysis, GingerBrave is comprised of "100% bravery", making him "perfectly ordinary".
* GingerBrave had a brother named Dozer, who perished in the Witch's House in the original *OvenBreak* game. Dozer makes no appearances in most other Cookie Run titles, nor does he appear when GingerBrave makes his escape at the beginning of *Kingdom*, implying that he does not exist in the *Kingdom* timeline.
* GingerBrave is the first Cookie present in Kingdom whose name in English does not contain "Cookie", the second one being  Schwarzwalder.
	+ GingerBrave's original name in Korean (용감한 쿠키, *yong-gamhan kuki*) translates to Brave Cookie in English.
* GingerBrave was designed by Lee Jihoon.
