Cabbage

* Chompette
* Human

**Cabbage** is the energetic leader of the Chompettes. She is almost endlessly optimistic, often trying to cheer up and encourage other members of the Chompettes and even The Protagonist at times. Her sunny disposition can falter or crack in times of desperation.

Originally a human girl named **Celina**, she was part of an ever-loyal group of friends that were investigating the murders committed by the Butcher of Zakopane in order to find their lost friend Razael. Eventually they ended up in The Cabin where, along with her friends and the Butcher, she was cornered, killed and later eaten by the cabin's owner.

## Physical Appearance

### Chompette

Cabbage has a chibi-like appearance with four visible cabbage leaves and a face with cutesy, minimalistic features that allow her to make very cartoonish expressions.

### Human

As a human, Celina was pale skinned with wide, brown eyes. She had light brown hair tied up in a ponytail tied up with a pear-green bow. Celina wore a dress with round princess sleeves and a belt around the waist, matching her bow in color. She also wore sturdy, practical brown boots. Even as a human, she made very cartoonish and larger than life expressions.

## Personality

Celina was usually very positive and cheerful, especially when spending time with her friends. However, she wasn't afraid to take charge and be assertive when needed, as seen when she was forming a plan in the Cabin to try and keep everyone safe from the Butcher of Zakopane. When faced with danger, she wasn't afraid to put all else aside and face trouble head on as best she can despite how fearful it could make her. She treasured her friends and loved ones deeply and tried her best to keep spirits high.

As Cabbage she adopts much of the same positivity as she had in life, almost never faltering unless absolutely necessary. Cabbage slowly becomes more and more stern the harder it gets to maintain her happy persona and isn't above holding grudges, as seen when threatening to lock up Potato. Her firmness can often be quite jarring, such as when Cabbage scolds Raspberry for being rude to the Protagonist. This insistence on a happy-go-lucky front from all of the Chompettes is because she thinks that if they appease them, they may finally let them all move on to the afterlife as The Protagonist did with Cornbread.

## History

### Before *Cooking Companions*

Celina lived with her family in the town of Zakopane. She had known Ryna since they were babies. In the fourth year of elementary school Ryna introduced her to Bolek who she met during a day when Celina was staying sick at home and then Bolek introduced them to his friend Oleg - a boy class lower then him - and his family member Razael. Celina, Ryna, Bolek, Oleg and Razael quickly became incredibly close friends.

During the Spring Festival on March 21st, Celina was tasked with burning the effigy of Marzanna using flaming arrows. During this Slavic tradition, a small effigy made of straw and sticks depicting Marzanna (Goddess of winter, death, diseases and misfortunes), is taken in a procession through the town. Young girls carry it from house to house, taking away all evil and misfortune along with it. In the evening, the effigy is taken by children who put it on a wooden raft, throw it in the river and burn it. It was believed that killing the figure representing the goddess removed the effects caused by it (winter and diseases) and brought spring. The next day, a large pine branch is carried into the village, decorated with colored ribbons, paper sunflowers and eggshells. The whole village celebrates with it, introducing spring to households.

Celina met up with Ryna and told her that she can carry the branch to the village this year as she herself will burn the witch. They both arrived at the river just in time for the burning, but Celina missed all her arrows and the effigy submerged underwater before being burned. To fix this mistake Celina decided to fish out the effigy and try again. Oleg joined both friends when she was taking the figure out of the water and immediately expressed his fear as touching the effigy when it was already floating in the water was thought to bring death. Celina brushed him off as she did not believe in this superstition.

When Razael disappeared, Celina and her friends decided to do everything in their power to find him. They started investigating the murders caused by the Butcher of Zakopane - a known serial killer. Their investigations lasted more then a year, often getting to crime scenes quicker than town investigators.

One day they finally found the killer and he chased them through the woods, but they were faster and lost him along the way. After a while, they encountered a strange cabin on a hill in the middle of the woods.

### *Chompettes Origins*

Celina and her friends enter the Cabin and decide to stay for the night, not making a fire as to not attract the killer if he's still nearby. Celina decides that the group should split up and search the Cabin for any food. She ends up going to the Kitchen where she finds the Creepy Note.

The group meets up again and Bolek reveals that he found Razael's Toy Boat under the couch in the Living Room, proof that Razael has been in the cabin before them. Celina orders Ryna to search the cabin again for any signs of Razael while she along with Bolek and Oleg look around outside. They find a strange, old fence with bones all over the ground. While coming back they hear strange whispering coming from the cabin. Inside Ryna tells them about her strange encounter with a ghost and shows them the Cage Drawing. They decide to go to sleep, Celina takes the Bedroom along with Oleg.

At 3AM Bolek wakes up everyone, explaining that he heard something outside. It's the Butcher. Celina makes the groups secret hand signal so that everyone whispers from now on. She makes a plan in case the killer makes it inside the cabin. While waiting for anything to happen Bolek shares with the group the Breakfast Drawing which he found in the Bedroom while keeping watch at night.

The Butcher breaks the Cabin's door and barges inside. The group quickly runs inside the basement and Celina locks the door behind them. After making it to the bottom they try all the doors, all of them are locked except the ones to the East. They throw open the door, turning around to see the Butcher behind them, holding his Knife. Celina stands in front of her friends, shielding them with her body. Suddenly the owner of the cabin walks in and kills everyone in the room (five slashes with a knife can be heard).

After her death Celina materializes along with her friends as a Chompette inside a drawer in the Kitchen. She has now an appearance of a Cabbage and everyone calls her by that name.
