Espresso Cookie

Intro Precise temperature, precise quantity of coffee beans, precise roasting time! Everything must be in a precise—impeccably precise—order for the plan to work. Always busy, always on the go—this is the lifestyle of Espresso Cookie. Despite being frequently mistaken for a black mage—yes, sometimes things burn, and smoke—Espresso Cookie can't afford to waste a second on meaningless explanations. Night after night, this pioneer of magic works on perfecting his grind and brew. "Isn't that too much coffee?" one might wonder. Well, at least there's always the delightful coffee fragrance in the air! Espresso Cookie is Madeleine Cookie's begrudging co-worker, being assigned to work with him in a mission to find "a treasure of legends past". Considering Espresso Cookie's preexisting disdain for Light Magic and the Republic's religious structure, he was bound to disfavor the pious paladin Madeleine Cookie. The latter's grating arrogance, however, pushed what could have been a simple difference in ideals to a thorough fount of annoyance and acridness on Espresso Cookie.
