Timekeeper seek a different view because she WANT to be wrong despite how nihilistic she is. She want to believe there is more to life than repetition of birth and destruction (similar to burning spice). Croissant provided that hope, a curious piece of potential.
Timekeeper wouldn't spend her time creating the TBD if it weren't for a piece of Croissant in her that seek to save cookiekind. If she's truly chaotic like people tend to headcanon her as, she wouldn't even bother. Timekeeper know if she doesn't maintain time then everything over
At first she seem amoral who doesn't care about right or wrong. But the truth is she cares more about the world than anyone else, but learned morality and being helpful doesn't mean the right answer. There is still that desire to protect everyone that she had in croissant
But amidst of all that she learned that being attached and caring for every single life will only lead with devastation, she cope by staying as a watcher/guide.
Timekeeper is tall, lanky, masculine, sassy, mysterious, wise, yet a gentlelady but also super cute and fluffy and fat. She fit all my fetishes it crazy.
Shes also obsessive over croissant solely because shes the only thing that grounds her to reality, the only thing she look forward to the most is seeing how croissant grow her own path regardless if she chooses to stray from or become a timekeeper herself. Uncertainty is addictin
