Timekeeper Cookie

Timekeeper Cookie is at the same time an enigmatic, deeply complicated figure, and a fount of indulgent whimsy. Their face constantly plastered with a cheshire grin, this timeline-hopper treats any occasions of note as potential games, even if these instances may be situations of distress for some. Whether she has already foreseen the future of her playthings' success in her trials is unclear, but she neither helps nor attempts to mislead them, instead treating these situations as spectacles for her entertainment. Such a desire for excitement is fueled by Timekeeper Cookie's knowledge of space-time being absolute—having seen everything reality has to offer has made their infinite existence dull, and their lack of complacency is only compounded by eons-long solitude amidst the time pockets. Their pursuit of thrills is so absolute that it can lead them to antagonistic actions; for this ever-bored time lord, potential fun is reason enough for injustices. This leads to most Cookies that know Timekeeper Cookie to view her with great distrust, even when she regards them cordially in return.

Although she is the Director of the Time Balance Department, Timekeeper Cookie seems to do only the barest minimum she needs to in order to keep it running, leaving the TBD to do their jobs without her assistance. She almost never does anything to ease the banal (or even drastic) difficulties of her employees' work, and instead sometimes introduces difficulties of her own simply to challenge them. Most if not all lower employees in the TBD were even originally left in the dark as to the identity of the TBD's Director, as Timekeeper Cookie primarily handed down her directives though middle-management Cookies.

Timekeeper Cookie's ultimate motivation is to preserve the flow of time and allow the many futures that it may bring about to occur, the one thing that they find the most fun. To this end, she even visits future versions of herself from potential bad futures, learning from their fates in order to alter events and avoid encountering the End of Time. Their far-reaching viewpoint is potentially what distances them from the Cookies of the present time, who can only watch Timekeeper Cookie flit in and out of the present only as they need to. Yet even this frustratingly-light touch of clues and snippets of the full picture is a deliberate choice, for Timekeeper Cookie understands most of all how timelines can't survive too many changes from the outside. Although Timekeeper Cookie can change time itself at a whim to avert disaster, she still leaves it to the Cookies who exist in the timelines to save their timelines all on their own, and to thus build up the futures that she looks forward to.

Appearance: Timekeeper Cookie wears a steampunk-style dress suit, with striped brown pants and ruffled white sleeves and a black version of Croissant Cookie's toolbelt. She wears a large dark-brown top hat with two goggles on top, with the left goggle having a black clock hand sprouting from its center to beyond the rim in a zigzag, and the right goggle sporting three gear teeth on its edge and a black triangle inside to have it mimic a clock face. The hat has a square base, with the corner above Timekeeper Cookie's face being colored bronze.

The Sonic Embroider that Timekeeper Cookie wields is a bronze-colored implement that combines multiple tools into one. When closed, it primarily resembles a clock hand with the handle of a winding key, with a pocket watch chain attached to one of its handles. When opened, it resembles a pair of oversized sewing scissors.
