Cotton (series) - Characters and Places

Characters and Places

• Cotton – The star of every game in the series, Cotton is a red-haired pre-teen witch with a hunger for Willow candy that drives all of her actions. She is very quick to anger, never very mature, and often very outrageous. Although her quests in each game are ultimately to serve a higher purpose, she is never involved personally for any reason other than the prospect of getting to eat a Willow.
• Silk – Silk is a fairy who has been in every Cotton game to date as a sort of sidekick for Cotton. She is a citizen of the fairy kingdom Filament, and is a close aid to its queen. In terms of personality, she serves as an antithesis of Cotton – she's always very practical and reasonable, and she maintains focus on unselfish objectives. Additionally, she thinks of herself as being exceptionally beautiful.
• Queen Velvet – Though missing from a few games in the series, Queen Velvet rules the fairy kingdom Filament, and generally concerns herself with the well-being of the world and the safety of the Willows sustaining it. She is the only person in the fairy kingdom who is human-sized.
• Wool – Wool is the traditional villain in the Cotton games. She never develops much of a personality, but it is enough that she is after Willows for her own evil ends. Cotton is never really concerned with Wool, so much as she cares about who has Willows.
• Knit – Silk's little sister. She is only present in Panorama Cotton, and has no role other than in the introductory storyline.
• Calmin – Riding a giant boxing kangaroo, Calmin is the villain of Panorama Cotton. He claims that he doesn't like Willows, which is why he has been burning them.
• Cookie – The name of Calmin's boxing kangaroo. He is given no character development, although he does serve as a boss in Panorama Cotton.
• Meke – The so-called mascots of Panorama Cotton. They only appear as box-shaped golden-outlines, and have no additional information given about them.
• Appli – Princess of the Pumpkin Kingdom. She is featured as a rival character for Cotton in both Cotton 2 and Cotton Boomerang, although they never fight against each other. The story of Cotton 2 begins with Appli searching for the Water Willow that she stole from her castle but lost in the woods, and the rest of the game is her quest to retrieve it. Appli has an air of being a bit spoiled, and she is crazy about male celebrity idols.
• Needle – Appli's living witch-hat and sidekick. He is not given much character development, although like Silk, he counters some of Appli's personality quirks and shortcomings. He also has a unique style of talking.
• Filament – The kingdom where the fairies live. Willows grow here readily, and the seven willows that bring light to the world are stored here.
• Pumpkin Kingdom – Appli's home, to the west of the Filament. Falls into darkness after the events of Cotton 2.
