If you don't know anything about Cookie Run, you're probably wondering who Croissant and Timekeeper are.
Timekeeper Cookie
"A rip in the spacetime continuum appears in the air before your very eyes. Disbelief leads to shock as a small shadow appears from the torn fabric of reality, prompting nearby clocks to go haywire. Timekeeper Cookie rides upon the Sonic Embroider, cruising along the waves of time in solitude. Existing within multiple points in spacetime, Timekeeper Cookie is both present and absent at once. Perhaps this power allows Timekeeper Cookie to evade the agents of the Time Balance Department (TBD) with such effortless ease. But is this too much power for a single Cookie? With but a snap, a Cookie's dough can instantly revert back into flour and sugar. With a single blink, even fallen kingdoms and shattered realms return to their former glory. This all-powerful chronokinetic seems to act on a whim, disregarding the dangers and risks of time travel. After plunging the world into disarray, the time-traveler watches events unfold with a sly smile. Is the power to control time a mere means to stave off boredom?"
Timekeeper Cookie is the god of time. Yes, the god of time in Cookie Run is also a cookie. However, she wasn't always the god of time. Originally, she was a normal cookie named Croissant Cookie, who slowly gained power and became insane, constantly looking for ways to cure her boredom. Timekeeper is the director of the Time Balance Department, a group of elite cookies dedicated to keeping the flow of time and the timelines in balance and making sure nobody messes with the timeline. Her being the Director means that she's essentially the head, she runs the TBD. But even though she runs the place, she doesn't use her powers responsibly. Most of the time, she uses them for her own gain, messing around with timelines for fun. Even after the events of Operation: Timeguard, she still tends to mess around with people and enjoys being mischevious.
Timekeeper tends to speak in fanciful, old-timey (hehe, that's one of my nicknames for her!) speech with no contractions. She is very playful and bubbly despite being so powerful, and she tends to be completely spontaneous and confusing at times. She doesn't often clearly state what her intentions are and prefers to give hints to problems rather than outright telling people what to do.
HEADCANONS
- Timekeeper Cookie's eyepatch hides a time rift in-place of her eye.
- Timekeeper Cookie's hair is very fluffy and made out of raw dough. The color comes from her slathering her hair in butter. In her RoTEF costume, she neglects to butter it, making it look pale. It's raw dough because her hair reverted from its baked state.
- Timekeeper Cookie, in Operation: Timeguard, was only partially lying about her and Croissant being the only versions of them to join the TBD. While there were a few timelines with Croissants in the TBD, they were few and far between. After the events of Operation: Timeguard, many timelines popped up with Croissants and Timekeepers joining the TBD. Mission: Save the Future also added a few timelines, but most of them were snipped off.
- Timekeeper Cookie's Sonic Embroider is made out of pure gold.
- Timekeeper Cookie's hair is so fluffy that it is entirely possible to place your entire self inside of it depending on how big you are. Strangely, you can actually breathe inside of it.
- Timekeeper Cookie's non-eyepatched eye is actually not her real eye. Underneath is a brown one.
- Timekeeper Cookie is more machine than cookie.
- Timekeeper Cookie's head ticks back and forth to show certain emotions. Her heart is also a clock and ticks.
- Timekeeper Cookie doesn't have an exact gender, she's above it. She uses any pronouns and identifiers, meaning he's okay with being called anything.
- Timekeeper is pansexual.
Croissant Cookie
"The Time Balance Department (TBD) constantly monitors the world with chronographs to check if the timelines are intact. This mysterious organization of elite agents has never outsourced tasks or scouted for new talent... until now. Hushed rumors of awe claim that Croissant Cookie restored a derelict rust bucket and tinkered around with it until it became a fully functioning, flying Timecraft! Croissant Cookie's pastry dough was rolled and folded, rolled and folded many times over to create intricate layers. Perhaps this is why she understands complex mechanics and can fix them in a cinch. Her goggles, a self invention, display her destination's exact coordinates and vector without fail. Pulling an all-nighter isn't a problem for this Cookie, especially if it means her fellow agents can patrol the timelines without a hitch. With each new day, she raises her trusty spanner into the air and exclaims, "Time travel! WOOT!""
Croissant Cookie is a mechanic for the Time Balance Department. She's a pretty normal person, other than the fact that she managed to make an ENTIRE TIME MACHINE OUT OF A WRECKED PLANE! Like I mentioned before, Croissant Cookie is the past version of Timekeeper Cookie from another timeline. A common misconception is that Timekeeper is simply just from the future, but she's from a completely separate timeline. Croissant Cookie LOVES tinkering around, stating that her favorite places are rusty garages. Her biggest dream is to become the best engineer ever, which I personally think she's already achieved. I mean, again, her Timecraft was originally a derelict plane and she apparently designed an entire underground pipe system in the TBD. Other than her interests in time travel and engineering, she's a very cheerful person and very kind. She likes helping people and she has a strong sense of justice. However, she has self esteem issues and often doubts herself and her abilities. She also is very loyal to her friends and the Time Balance Department, as well as having a "choose to save a group over one person even if she's close to them" mentality.
Croissant also is disturbed by the idea of becoming Timekeeper in the future, or, as of Mission: Save the Future, disturbed by the idea of becoming the Director of the TBD in general. Despite liking Timekeeper as a person, she doesn't want to lose herself, and becoming the Director would prevent her from achieving her dream of becoming the best mechanic ever.
HEADCANONS
- Croissant Cookie's hair is puffy and naturally warm. In fact, her entire body is naturally warm. This is because she's a pastry ingreddient cookie.
- Croissant Cookie saved up to buy her trusty wrench while she was still in college. She keeps it with her everywhere.
- Croissant Cookie has submechanophobia, and hates working on boats and things that go in water because of it. It freaks her out.
- Croissant Cookie has awful spice tolerance.
- Croissant Cookie considers Gingerbrave to be like a younger brother to her. Although, she'll never say this out loud. Timekeeper likes to tease her about it.
- Croissant Cookie sleeps in a curl, like a Croissant. Bread shaped!
- Croissant Cookie has two mothers. In the Kingdom timeline, they'd be from the Hollyberry Kingdom, but she's in the Ovenbreak timeline. She wants to learn more about Hollyberry culture because of it.
- Croissant likes sweet coffee. She has to have cream and sugar in her coffee, and she always drinks it. Because she's tired from doing all-nighters all the time.
- Croissant Cookie has a bad habit of staying late at work all the time. She'll often be the only one still in the building at midnight.
- Croissant Cookie still doesn't exactly know what to feel about String Gummy. She appreciates him as a friend, but sometimes he says something that implies that he still sees her as his Director. She's uncomfortable with it, but she's sure he doesn't mean it.
