The Witch

Matilda, better known as The Witch, is the main antagonist of the Cookie Run series. She is most known for baking or capturing Cookies for the sake of consuming them, and the player must help GingerBrave escape her house to prevent him from being eaten.

Little information is given about her in the game. Her physical appearance in OvenBreak 2009 is the only design where she is seen in full. She lives a cabin in the middle of a spooky forest that has a kitchen, where she bakes Cookies in the oven.

History
The Witch appeared to be a young, fair skinned woman with long blonde hair at one point. She later transformed into an elderly woman with red skin and noticable fangs.

Dozer was one of the cookies made in a batch of Cookies that were already baked and eaten. Dozer attempts to run away, but finds a lollipop (which is presumed to be a trap set by The Witch) and passes out from the swirl on it hypnotising him. GingerBrave sets to avenge him and escapes the oven as well, this time triumphant.

The Witch comes up with a plan to counter GingerBrave. She creates her own army of Cookies wearing flaming skulls to find him.

The Witch later finds GingerBrave and eats him, where the Innerspace levels take place. GingerBrave travels through The Witch's stomach, where Cookies being digested are found in the background, and also travels through her heart, where an unknown figure with an axe chases you. It is assumed that GingerBrave escaped the innerspace and recovered Dozer.

In OvenBreak 2, the game linked the player to Facebook in order to have a competing score leaderboard. If the player had no friends who also played OvenBreak 2, fake friends would be provided, with The Witch, being named Matilda, being one of the fake friends. She was at level 10, had a high score of 1,000,000 points, and used NinjaBread and GingerGhost. A silhouette of the Witch can also be seen in the window of her hut in the gameplay intro cutscene.

In Cookie Run for LINE and Kakao, she also does not make a full physical appearance and is only mentioned. She makes an appearance as a shadow in a picture challenge photo, however. However, she does appear in a few trailers for the game.

Cookie Run: OvenBreak continues the trend of making the witch not physically appear and be mentioned, but she can be heard cackling and manically laughing during the introduction cutscene with GingerBrave in the oven. Her silhouette is also visible in Costume Gacha cutscene.

The Witch is absent in both text and physical form in Cookie Wars, but there is an unused sound effect with her laugh in it.

The Witch finally makes an on-screen appearance for the first time in 7 years in Hello! Brave Cookies, albiet as a shadow. After GingerBrave escapes the oven, a shadow of her appears in front of him and she eats a Cookie and laughs.
