Champion of Valor

Champion of Valor (용기의 기사 Knight of Courage) is an Epic Costume for Purple Yam Cookie. It was released on June 27th, 2019. It is his first Costume, released alongside of the Costume Gacha's creation and coupled as a release for the Again Angel Season Grand Champions League.

It gives a bonus to Purple Yam Cookie's points earned for his Rage Tornado.

It greatly changes Purple Yam Cookie's outfit, making it a gold-and-white outfit, stylized in a Greek manner as many other Grand Champions League Costumes are. His clothing is adorned with gold markings and additional golden pieces, and is topped off with a red gemstone below his collar. There is also a split cape on the back of his clothing, with it branching off into two parts down its middle. His left shoulder has a golden wing-like attachment on it, and his left arm has a golden armband with another red gemstone jutting out of its middle.

His hair is parted and tied up in the back into an almost shrimp-like ponytail, with a golden band of sorts both on the front of his head and the back, with the back band being much larger. The back band also has a small red jewel attached to it by a small golden chain, only viewable from Purple Yam Cookie's back-facing sprites. His Spiked Yam Mace is now primarily golden with additional white near the middle of the main part of the mace. A large red gemstone is placed in the center of the mace. Its spikes are notably sharper and the amount has increased. Similar to the rest of the mace, the spikes have also become golden.

In addition to visual changes to the Cookie himself, the Costume also changes his effects when using his Skill, making the Rage Tornado gold instead of purple.

As an Epic Costume, it can either be purchased with Rainbow Crystals at any time or obtained from a Costume Gacha pull.

Story
''"STOP telling me I look great!" Purple Yam Cookie has donned garments of the purest golden syrup. His golden mace brings courage to those facing any and all obstacles.''

Background
Champion of Valor, like many other Grand Champions League Costumes, appears to take the concept of its owner as a participant in the League. In this case, Purple Yam Cookie appears to be acting as a contestant who won, with Milk Cookie as Herald of Victory trying to support him. Several of Herald of Victory's quotes appear to be aimed at Champion of Valor, connecting the two Costumes. Angel Cookie's Voice of Virtue also appears to be linked to the two, as it brings blessings upon champions of the League.

This would also seem to imply that Purple Yam Cookie made it into what is identified as a "celestial banquet" in Voice of Virtue, honoring him as a hero. Herald of Victory further confirms this, as Milk Cookie brings the news of "honorable victory" to the sound of thunderous applause and roaring cheers.

This Costume would also presumably be the second time Purple Yam Cookie has obtained some sort of champion title if taken at face value as it would have to be after he met Milk Cookie and thus after he had his title taken by Dark Choco Cookie. Champion of Valor appears to have nothing to do with the ongoing story between the three Cookies despite this, and is likely just an alternate take on if Purple Yam Cookie went with Milk Cookie to take on Grand Champions League rather than hunting down Dark Choco Cookie.

Purple Yam Cookie himself appears to be unenthused with his outfit, frustrated with the compliments towards it and complaining about how shiny and fancy it is. Despite this, he still wears it, and insults those without courage, calling them weak.

Quotes
"Champion of Valor only has additional loading lines and a different tired line. It does not change or add any other lines."

Trivia

 * Champion of Valor was released alongside Herald of Victory and Voice of Virtue, which coincidentally all have words starting with V in their names.
 * It was also released as the introduction to the new Costume Gacha system, being part of the very first proper "set" of Costumes.
 * It was also released to celebrate the start of Grand Champions League for Again Angel Season.
 * This Costume was also released on the same day as Plum Cookie and therefore Disciplined Vacation.
 * Being Purple Yam Cookie's first Costume, Champion of Valor was released exactly three months after his release. At the time, his release, along with Milk Cookie's release, was the first instance in a long while that Epic Cookies were released without a Costume being coupled with them. This chain would later be broken again by Lobster Cookie and releases following that Cookie.
 * Champion of Valor's original name in Korean, Knight of Courage, may potentially be meant to be seen as a name in parallel to Dark Choco Cookie, a prince lost to darkness that Purple Yam Cookie wants to defeat.
