PureLily

"I miss him... When I think of Pure Vanilla Cookie's face I feel... sad."

- White Lily

PureLily is the het ship between Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie from the Cookie Run fandom.

Cookie Run Games
In Episode 7, at the very beginning you can visit a Ghost Town in the remains of the Blueberry Yogurt Academy, and there is an NPC ghost that you can interact with. One of the quotes that the ghost says is "There were two students who always held hands..." and Pure Vanilla Cookie went to this academy alongside White Lily Cookie. Since there are no other important students to the story, this may be a reference to Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie's relationship.

In the cutscenes of Episodes 7 and 8, Pure Vanilla Cookie is shown to be very clingy to White Lily Cookie.

During Episodes 7 and 8, it is discovered Pure Vanilla Cookie went to Blueberry Yogurt Academy alongside White Lily Cookie. Despite Pure Vanilla Cookie's magical capabilities, he had more of a rebellious side. He would skip classes to join White Lily Cookie, explaining that they were "boring without her." He would also go to the library with her and sneak out a forbidden, teacher-only book for their personal research in creating perfect Cookies. They were researching the origin and creation of Cookies, to the point that they broke numerous academy rules and attempted to create living Cookies on their own. Pure Vanilla Cookie would eventually put the research to a stop, while White Lily Cookie would continue to study by herself, her experiments ultimately converting the academy's inhabitants into spirits by accident.

She would later travel to the Tower of Sweet Chaos on the Night of the Witches to question the reason why cookies were created, but instead she learnt that Cookies were originally made to be eaten. She fell into the Ultimate Dough, unable to accept this fate, and was thus rebaked into a new Cookie: Dark Enchantress Cookie.

The White Lily Cookie that GingerBrave's party encounters is revealed to be an illusory fragment of her past, brought to life when Dark Enchantress Cookie was imprisoned. This fragment of White Lily Cookie's past would seek out her missing memories and eventually follow the party to Dark Enchantress Cookie's prison at the end of Episode 8, which they would break open under the idea that they were freeing White Lily Cookie. However, the illusion instead disappears as Dark Enchantress Cookie is released. It is unknown if any remnant of White Lily Cookie still exists in the present. While she disavows any sympathy for her previous life, she otherwise remembers everything that happened to her as White Lily Cookie, and in turn is recognized by Pure Vanilla Cookie as once being his closest friend.

White Lily Cookie's in-game description says "A longing for Pure Vanilla Cookie lingers on as a figment of the past, a memory within reach yet so elusive. Though a white lily's fragility invokes sympathy, do not forget that there is an intoxicating aroma hidden behind her pure, serene beauty."

It is implied that White Lily Cookie wasn't much accepted and liked, compared to her companion who is more well-liked between his peers. Even while the reputations of the two differ, they remain close friends with a strong bond.

In Pure Vanilla Cookie's decoration, he strokes a lily, gazing down upon it, looking sad, which is implying he misses White Lily Cookie.

In Pure Vanilla Cookie's lobby background, two references to White Lily Cookie can be found. A vase of white lilies is present, and stained glass that resembles White Lily Cookie's and Pure Vanilla Cookie's stained glass are in the background. This shows the close relationship between the two cookies.

Relics
With the addition of Relics in the new Guild Update, we can find more information about they feel about each other. 'Pure Vanilla Cookie's Letter' describes "A letter written on old, tattered edible paper. Even after all those years, the longing and affection for the recipient of this letter has not dwindled one bit." The letter is theorized to be connected to White Lily cookie, but with the new addition of Chapter 14 Story Mode, it has been confirmed to be associated with Dark Cacao Cookie instead.

Old Vanilla Orchid Locket is another relic that describes "An old pendant that resembles a vanilla orchid. It closes its eye when it's locked. No one but the owner has seen the contents of this locket, but it feels like it carries a dear moment." The moment in question is between Pure Vanilla and White Lily when they were students.

The last white lily has a description that says "This was the last white lily that had bloomed in a greenhouse deep within the Vanilla Castle. Even after the Cookie who lived in the castle disappeared, it did not wilt one bit, as if it was waiting for that Cookie to come back." - A direct reference to White Lily Cookie.

Fanon
PureLily is one of the most popular ships within the Cookie Run community and in the Korean community as well. Fan art between these two mainly contain angsty themes since White Lily is revealed in the Tower of Sweet Chaos cutscenes to be the new identity of Dark Enchantress Cookie. Fanart of their childhood and previous close bond is also commonly depicted. Fans of this pairing also enjoy the dynamic of two people who are incapable of forgiving themselves but one of them is just incredibly forgiving to even the worst people, and two people who have completely opposite personalities, since White Lily is more shy and soft-spoken while Pure Vanilla is more enthusiastic and charismatic.

This ship rivals PureCacao.
