Agent Velvet

Calm. Inflexibly professional. The dessert embodiment of composure. Velvet speaks quietly, clearly, and never twice. She trusts protocols but doesn’t hide behind them. She is skeptical of chaos but capable of adapting to it. Where Crumble inspires teams, Velvet controls a scene. She is respected, feared, and — to some — oddly comforting.

Once the top protocol officer in CES, Velvet was reassigned after an unsanctioned freeze order that saved a neighborhood but violated five crust clauses. She now commands the Dessert Security Unit (DSU) — the division responsible for suppressing threats beyond typical frosting escalation.

Despite political friction, she remains a sealed ally of CES. When Pastrypolis protocol fails, Velvet is the override. Her codename: The Frost Queen — whispered in both awe and worry.

She appears when crustlines crack past containment. She is the one who authorized Ganache's reactivation. Her presence escalates the narrative — not by action, but by gravity. When she arrives, it means the oven is already heating, whether you see it or not.

Quirks:

• Keeps a frost-stamped recipe scroll locked in a sugarsteel vault

• Collects broken pastry badges from failed squads as a quiet ritual

• Refers to Ganache as “the variable” and “the child” interchangeably

• Occasionally stares out over Pastrypolis like she’s waiting for a second oven to wake up

  
  

Allies:

• Captain Crumble (cooperative tension, deep respect)

• Ganache (she reactivated him — for reasons she won’t explain)

• Whip Siren (tactical respect, wary of unpredictability)

• Blue Bulk (rarely speaks, but they nod to one another in silence)
