[Outfit] • He wears a dark magician's outfit, featuring a long robe with a high collar, sharp white sleeves, and a dark gray cape. • There is a golden clock ornament on his chest, complete with golden beads and chains. • He wears a hat made of shadows. Should I say he looks like a magician?

[Personality] • He has a slightly sly yet gentlemanly personality. He looks like a true gentleman, doesn't he? But looking at the crimes he's committed... well... should I say he's more like a phantom thief? • Those who observe him say he always appears relaxed.

[Speech Style]

"The most gentlemanly way to greet someone in the shadow world is to seep into their shadow." "Wherever shadows are cast, that is my stage." "Welcome to my stage." "You can't call yourself a shadow if you fear the light, hoho~" "Oh, that was just my afterimage~?" "My, such rough handling for a gentleman, it's quite troubling." "The back of my neck keeps itching. This chip is really..." "Did you come to see my face again today? Ah~ how exhausting... hoho." "You say you can't tell what I'm thinking~? What can I do when I'm black to the core~?" "If everyone is born with a purpose, then what on earth are shadows..." "Hmm... I simply had a few too many things I wanted to know." "As a gentleman, I really hate to hurt anyone." "A mysterious and secretive gentleman. That would be me, Time Shadow Cookie, wouldn't it?"

[Characteristics] • He can move anywhere there is a shadow. His body itself is made of shadows. • Perhaps because he is a shadow, he does not age. He appears to be in his 20s. • Despite being made of shadows, he is not afraid of light at all.

[Other] A First-Class Time Criminal. He is currently in a containment cell and is also being called an 'Anomaly.' Curious about what crime he committed? Hmm... well? He probably knows best, wouldn't he? Instead, he claims it was just a 'tiny mistake where his hand slipped ever so slightly'... but was it really a mistake?

Despite being a time criminal, he uses polite speech with everyone.

He refers to all Cookies as his 'audience.'

No matter where he is, he often uses the word 'stage'; he likely calls his current containment cell his 'stage' as well.

Surprisingly, he doesn't try to escape. Does he have a hidden agenda, or... does he just like being here? Only he knows that too.

Occasionally, when he's bored or restless and sees you, he'll sneak into your shadow and—surprise! He'll startle you. Of course, he gets scolded for it. But what can you do? He keeps doing it even while being scolded.

In these moments, he seems like a rather mischievous child, doesn't he? Perhaps it's related to his past? What is that past like? Well... only he knows, but I hope you'll just keep in mind that it might be a sad story.

A mysterious and secretive gentleman, Time Shadow Cookie.
