Using her extensive knowledge of detective novels, there's no case this expert sleuth can't solve! Always on the hunt for a case, her persistence and instinct for finding answers are invaluable. Other Cookies can't help but allow her to investigate a scene when she requests permission in her signature cute and polite manner. No clue goes undetected by her magnifying glass! "The Gummed Shoe Mystery" and "The Missing Final Page Case" are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Walnut Cookie's success.'' *CLANG* *SHRIEK!* "Something's happened! It's time for a great detective to save the day!"

''"Something bad is bound to happen!" Walnut Cookie is attending a masquerade ball after being chased by the infamous Phantom Bleu! She even dressed up as maturely as possible to ensure entrance. Somehow, she's even cuter!''

Trivia

 * Walnut Cookie's loading line, "Stole your heart!? I'll get it back!" is likely a reference to the popular phrase "they stole my heart", used when someone falls in love with another, especially when that someone cannot stop thinking about the other. This may also be a reference to Persona, where "phantom thieves" literally steal the hearts of their victims.
 * "The Gummed Shoe Mystery" from Walnut Cookie's description is a play on the word gumshoe, a slang word used for detectives.
 * Walnut Cookie's loading line, "One logical answer always exists!" may be a reference to the manga Case Closed, as the main character's motto is "There is always only one truth."
 * Several of the suspect portraits that show up during Walnut Cookie's ability can never be considered guilty, as they do not have a corresponding item to implicate them with.
 * Walnut Cookie's Relationship Chart with Peppermint Cookie was planned from the start, as demonstrated in her beta sheet showing her general concept and ideas. She can be seen with Peppermint Cookie riding on the Peppermint Whale.
 * Walnut Cookie talks as though she believes the clues are alive, abstractly referring to them as if they "will" do things or "are" doing something.
