The heori-chima's jureum (주름) outer layer begins at its top with a darker sanguine shade and fades downwards to a lighter cardinal red. Kumiho Cookie's outfit consists of a hanbok (한복) heori-chima (허리치마) waistbanded skirt. Occasionally, Kumiho Cookie is seen with one to nine fox tails trailing from underneath her skirt that appear identical to her long hair. Her bangs are minimal and shortly drape upon her forehead in two rounded masses. Her hair is icy cyan and situated in two long, framing twintails tipped with snowy white. In general, Kumiho Cookie is very heavily based in Korean culture and appears quite often in game content centered around this diaspora. Unlike the kitsune (狐) and huli jing (狐狸精) who can be anywhere from good to evil to somewhere in-between, the kumiho is almost always malignant-leaning in nature.
Kumiho Cookie's 999-day journey to gain her transformation powers is a reference to how kumiho who abstain from eating human flesh for 1,000 days become human. This in itself references the kumiho's tendencies of enticement leading to violent consumption. Kumiho Cookie's line, "What a yummy little Bear Jelly.", references her ability in Cookie Run: OvenBreak in which she charms Bear Jellies and eats them immediately afterwards. It takes advantage of their lowered guard to attack them and devour their heart and/or liver. The kumiho is a deceptive fox spirit which shapeshifts into a beautiful woman in order to seduce unaware men into a vulnerable position. Kumiho Cookie is based on her namesake, the kumiho (구미호) of Korean legends.
