so i noticed that all the beasts make an appearance (even if brief) on their skill icons:
out of all of them, only Burning Spice Cookie's icon's main focus is on his weapon. i suppose this is because a weapon of Destruction suits his character best, as each icon represents their idea of sin, their Bestiality. but take a look at the awakened Ancients' icons:
the emphasis is put on their respective weapons, and not even because of the Souljams (Golden Cheese's Souljam is not connected to the spear). is it a sign of liberation? of overcoming the influence of the Beasts, fighting (metaphorically, or literally) their fears?
you might've noticed i didn't include Pure Vanilla's icon up there. well that's because it doesn't have a weapon portrayed:
it's his Souljam.
as he is a cookie of no malice and of total, all-forgiving compassion, it would make sense for him to not have a weapon (a sign of some sort of violence) as the center of his skill. it might also be because he's a healer and is not supposed to deal damage.
another interesting detail is that much like Pure Vanilla, Shadow Milk's icon also has his Souljam (or, more accurately, the eye of it) as the most outstanding piece. this probably hints at their deeper connection and bond, as Pure Vanilla Cookie obviously understands Shadow Milk Cookie, having seen his thoughts & memories, more than any other Ancient understands their respective Beast.
as of writing this post, the only cookie left uncovered is White Lily Cookie and her Awakened skill icon. it's safe to assume that, like the rest of the Ancients, her skill's icon will have her weapon, the staff, as the main point of interest. however, personally, i think it would be much more of a killer to put her Souljam in the center of attention, like Pure Vanilla, which supposedly will embody understanding - signs of which White Lily has already shown in Ch. 11 story.
afterall, understanding is her main goal.
