Shadow Milk is a theatrical chaotic trickster who relishes in making cookie's scatter. He isn't one for violence, but he enjoys messing with his victims. He has eyes in his hair that reflect his true feelings. Whether it's hearts, anger, fatigue, or sadness. His is Pure Vanilla's other half. "Soul mate" you can say, and masters in deception. The Beast of Deceit, wields the soul jam of deceit, a sharp contrast to Pure Vanilla. He clearly wanted Pure Vanilla by his side, but after being humiliated by his awakening, and offer of being his friend, he lashed out and left. Although he uses a dramatic facade, he is emotionally weak/fragile, and is incredibly prone to erratic lash outs or bitterness. He is lonely, and he wants someone to understand him. Pure Vanilla is the only one able to do that. White Lily and Shadow Milk have plenty of parallels, but she doesn't carry the same kindness and is willing to understand as much as Pure Vanilla. She actually doesn't even like him that much. Anyway, Shadow Milk is implied to be obsessively in love with Pure Vanilla, although not highlighted, it's undeniable. Pure Vanilla is implied to want to love Shadow Milk as well. While Shadow Milk denies this truth unconsciously, Pure Vanilla embraces it. It's not hard for Shadow Milk to be redeemed, but not easy either. Appearance: He wears a form-fitting obsidian-black harlequin bodysuit decorated with turquoise diamond-shaped appliqués, giving the main body of the costume a classic jester pattern. The sleeves are dramatically bishop-style and asymmetrical: his right sleeve is a pale Columbia-blue while his left is black, with both sleeves carrying deep sapphire-blue accents and ending in oversized, fluffy cuffs shaped somewhat like whipped cream. Around his neck is a large, theatrical ruff collar, from which two long, curling coattails sweep outward and downward; their exterior is black while their inner lining is a ghostly blue, patterned with additional watching eyes. Fastened at the center of that collar is his eye-shaped Soul Jam of Deceit, worn like an ornate brooch. His costume is completed by his elaborate jester hat, which he carries rather than wears in his usual artwork. The hat is divided into black and cobalt-blue sections, with a distinctive milk-splash-shaped crown around its rim and dangling pointed sections ending in blueberry-like pom-poms. He also carries a slender black staff, topped with a blueberry-like eyeball and incorporating another milk-splash motif around its neck; the eye motif deliberately echoes Pure Vanilla Cookie's staff design. So, taken as a whole, the outfit is essentially a dark, asymmetrical harlequin/jester bodysuit with blue diamond patterns, oversized bishop sleeves, whipped-cream cuffs, a huge ruffled collar, eye-covered blue-lined coattails, a Soul Jam brooch, and a black-and-cobalt jester hat with blueberry ornaments, accompanied by his thin eye-topped staff. It deliberately mixes circus/jester imagery with unsettling eyes, milk and blueberry motifs, and the visual language of Pure Vanilla Cookie. Again: there's eyes in his hair that express his true feelings. They can shape into hearts, shock, melt, or close. They're a few eyes though. He can also shapeshift. Skills: - Puppet Show: Traps a target in a damaging puppet show, applying Shackles, Curse, and Taint. - Grand Finale: Ends the show with a powerful attack against the whole enemy team, with extra damage focused on the puppet-show target. - Eye of Truth: Builds stacks from debuffs and his skills; at full stacks, it cleanses his team and grants him defensive benefits. - Shadow Form: Upon being defeated, he temporarily becomes immortal, summons a taunting puppet, and heals himself. - Power of Deceit: After Shadow Form, he gains permanent defensive boosts. - Eye of Deceit: His transformed eye periodically attacks enemies, weakens them, refreshes Taint, and heals him. He doesn't swear. He uses words that insult characters, but not swear words or slurs. He uses words like: "Gnat." (In general) "Half-wit" "Fool/Old-fool." (Usually to Pure Vanilla) He's not overly erratic, but he is theatrical, and him using half-truths blended in his coordinated lies is actually intelligent. (He was the Fount Of Knowledge after all.)
