Time Balance Department

The Time Balance Department (shortened as TBD) is an organization where Croissant, Timekeeper, String Gummy Cookie, Coffee candy cookie and Baguette cookie (along with other NPC cookies) work. Their job is to protect the timeline, preventing any attempts to sabotage it and fixing any issues that may arise (such as those in Operation Timeguard! and Save the Future!).

## Personnel

### Croissant Cookie

Introduced during Operation Timeguard!, Croissant Cookie is an employee of the TBD, not only responsible for her usual job in the Technology Development Division, but also for inventing the Timecraft, which she uses to travel through time. She later joins forces with GingerBrave to help restore the timeline.

In Save the Future!, she teams up with Timekeeper Cookie to destroy the Time Manipulators. Through Timekeeper Cookie, it is revealed that in the branch timeline he traveled from, Croissant Cookie became the Director of the TBD, replacing Timekeeper Cookie. In this same story, Timekeeper Cookie mentions that she plans on leaving the position to Croissant Cookie in their current timeline.

### Timekeeper Cookie

Timekeeper Cookie is the current Director of the TBD, although this was not revealed until Chapter 5 of Operation Timeguard!. Croissant Cookie describes the director as very busy and someone who frequently travels through time and often doesn't interact with her employees. In the conclusion of Operation Timeguard!, however, she does make an announcement to the TBD employees, allowing GingerBrave and his friends to continue on their journey.

In Save the Future!, String Gummy Cookie reveals that in his timeline, after watching countless versions of herself and others disappear from cut timelines, Timekeeper Cookie fell into despair and entered a time pocket, destroying her past and all of her related timelines. Following her disappearance, Croissant Cookie became the new Director.

### String Gummy Cookie

String Gummy Cookie, introduced in Save the Future!, is an employee of the TBD from one of the branch timelines created by the Time Manipulators. He was sent by Croissant Cookie from his timeline (who is the Director) to destroy the Time Manipulators in the original timeline, and worked together with the current Croissant Cookie to save the future. He joined the TBD after being saved from a time pocket by his timeline's Croissant Cookie and served as a loyal follower of her ever since. As of Operation: Time Fixers!, he has taken a position in the OvenBreak timeline's Time Investigation Division.

**Coffee Candy Cookie**

Coffee candy cookie is a worker in the TBD, who was released in the 'Operation: Time Fixers!' update. She works in the Time Registry Division which is directed by Baguette cookie. She used to work for the Cookie Herald magazine. In the update, she first entered the TBD and we get to see how her first day goes, and she almost loses important time documents. She meets Croissant and String Gummy as well.

**Baguette Cookie**

Baguette cookie, introduced in the second part of the 'Operation: Time Fixers!' update, works as the director of the Time Registry Division part of the TBD (where Coffee Candy cookie works). She is stern and pretty strict to other cookies but is looked up to by others.
