The Timekeepers came to be when an ancient Elemental kwami of Time named Eeterna split her essence near the beginning of the universe into multiple kwamis who control various aspects of Time, known as Timekeepers. Timekeepers are about as powerful as Delta kwamis in terms of raw power, but thanks to their various ways to manipulate of time the impacts they can leave are some of the most potent among kwamis. There are twelve Timekeepers currently on earth.

Fluff the Rabbit of Evolution: Arguably the most powerful Timekeeper, Fluff's powers allow a holder to travel to any point in time relative to their location. This allows them to interfere with past and future events, learn key knowledge, and act almost as an all seeing eye. Fortunately its nearly impossible for this Miraculous to fall into the wrong hands, as other Rabbit holders will instantly interfere. Unlike many Miraculous holders they aren't focused on the world, but rather the flow of time itself, and will follow Fluff's direction to keep time progressing.

Shaash the Bear of Preservation: The Bear Miraculous is often see as the opposite or counter of the Rabbit; like the Rabbit it can acess a unique pocketspace known as the Den that lets them view any moment of time. Instead of traveling through time, however, the Bear is able to Preserve moments in time that make them unchangeable to outside forces, including interference from the Rabbit and other Timekeepers. Bear holders are charged with securing major historical events and important moments in time.

Antiqq the Aurochs of Reversion: Antiqq's powers are linked specifically to rewinding time, which she can do with everything, or have it affect only one target instead. When rewinding time it starts from the moment they're affected and moves backwards from there, they cannot just jump to any moment in the past.

Keena the Lynx of Intuition: Keena's powers give one an immediate understanding of the future, either through glimpses of visions or through powerful feelings that act as warning for upcoming events. Usually these powers focus on such close upcoming moments that they aren't easily subjected to change like other powers linked to the future.

Sass the Cobra of Opportunity: This Miraculous mark a moment in time that one can repeatedly return too, allowing them to change the outcome of immediate future events until they get the desired results. More powerful holders can also create time loops that can repeat a single day to allow for longer moments to work, though these are harder to break free from.

Apple the Red Panda of Lineage: The Ped Panda Miraculous can travel through time, but is closely linked to bloodline when it comes to using such powers. This makes one able to move forward or backwards through time, to either when their direct ancestor or descendant is. Unlike many powers there is no simple way to undo this time jump, though Apple himself can send a person back to their own time if they so wish.

Zipp the Dragonfly of Progression: Zipp's power speeds up time around themselves, essentially allowing them to fast-forward reality around them. They can also choose to only speed up time for themselves, appearing to have superspeed to those watching on.

Passtel the Snail of Patience: The Snail's powers are able to slow down time, either to the reality around them, allowing them to view the present in what appears to be slow motion, or they can slow down specific targets without impacting those around them.

Allta the Frog of Change: This Miraculous can show the future, specifically the many possible futures out there rather than the most likely. Under the Frog one can see multiple options of their own future, either the immediate or what can be years away, based on the different choices and Changes one can will make.

Frostt the Penguin of Stagnation: Frostt's power is able to freeze time, either with reality as a whole leaving the user unaffected, or with this power targeting a single person. Anything that is frozen in time however cannot be moved or manipulated.

Faae the Spider of Destiny: Faae's Miraculous let's one see the most likely future, and the fate of what lays ahead in one's life. These powers often manifest as visions, and while highly likely they aren't set in stone. This Miraculous also can give you a sense of what a person is like and what path they are taking in life.

Mataara the Tuatara of History: This Miraculous let's one look into the past. They can either do this through physical contact and see things for themselves, or they can manifest a ghostly image of events for all to see.

Of course! :D

[Passtel’s bio.]

“Passtel!”

Passtel blinked his eyes open, being jostled from the pocket where he slept. The Snail found himself falling for a moment, before catching himself, floating up into the air. He stared at his holder, who was shrugging off his jacket, where an oozing stain of slime could be seen on the pocket.

“Sorry Clyde,” Passtel said quickly. “I didn’t mean to fall asleep!”

But he had, and had been unaware of the slime-soaked handkerchief he had been resting in was no longer absorbing his slime while he slept away. Clyde didn’t offer a reply, just staring at his jacket with an exasperated look on his face.

“It does come out,” Passtel said softly.

“Yeah, but it takes ages to,” Clyde replied.

Passtel didn’t have a response to that, because it was very true. He looked down at his limbs, the sticky slime coating his form as it always did. It wasn’t that the slime was a stubborn strain to get out, but whoever was washing it had the unfortunate job of touching it, often exposing them to his powers.

Passtel would have offered to wash it himself, but when he was covered with the slime he usually added more to the mess than actually cleaning any of it.

Clyde was over at the wash basin already, letting out a long sigh. As a holder of the Miraculous of Patience he didn’t seem to be showing it, letting out a groan as he began to scrub at the stain. Clyde's movements looked strained, face contorted with effort, but the pace he was moving did not reflect that, the man moving with what looked to be an exaggerated slowness. As if he were trying to move under water, his scrubbing looking as if it were being dragged out.

Passtel had landed in a wooden bowl, his designated resting place, acting as a means to collect his slime without it getting all over Clyde’s cabin. A thin layer already remained from yesterday, pale lavender like his skin. Passtel hung over the edge for a moment as he watched his holder, before letting himself slide down to the bottom, where he tucked himself inside his yellow shell.

There was no point in trying to talk, Passtel had learned many holders ago that humans hated trying to speak at the sluggish rates his slime forced them into. Unable to act as fast as their thoughts were coming. He hadn’t been with Clyde for long, but already he was seeing the repeating patterns that had manifested in holders before.

He knew a way he could make his slime no longer a problem for the human. It was just a solution he hated.

“Sleeping again already?” It was an hour later Clyde spoke again, a slight slur in his words still. His movements were back to their normal and fluid motions though, the now-clean jacket and handkerchief being laid over a chair to dry.

“No, just thinking,” Passtel peered out slightly from his bowl, and found Clyde was over by the cabin stove, leaning down to start a fire, no doubt ready for dinner after a long day.

“Always wondered what a being like you thinks about,” Clyde said after a moment, looking at the sparks that were starting to burn within. “Must be something grand, with all you’ve seen.”

“I was thinking about you,” Passtel replied, earning a glance in surprise from his holder. “Of a way I could help you deal with… these sticky situations I create.”

Clyde frowned. “We already got a system for that. I just didn’t switch out my handkerchief soon enough.”

“Well I’m the one who fell asleep,” Passtel said, the appendages on his head drooping. “And, well, there is something else several of my past holders did that helped it from getting everywhere.”

Clyde was setting a pot of water on the stove to boil. “I’m open to ideas.”

“They’d, well, um… put me in my Miraculous,” Passtel said quietly.

Clyde paused.

“You know, they’d have me go dormant,” Passtel explained when there was no reply from his holder. “Until they needed to transform. They’d only summon me then, and then that way they don’t have to worry about my slime getting everywhere.”

Again, Clyde didn’t offer a reply, just reaching for a lid to place on his pot. Then he turned, making his way over to the slimy bowl where Passtel was resting. A part of him wanted to tuck back into his shell, to pretend he hadn’t offered the suggestion, but he knew it wouldn’t be right to take back a solution Clyde probably wanted.

“I thought the only time you were out was when you had a holder,” the human said quietly, looking down at Passtel with a look he couldn’t quite place in that moment.

“Well usually, the Guardian does bring out the others often, but I tend to stay in the box to keep things simpler. And cleaner,” he explained.

Clyde just stared at him. “You’re telling me the only time you truly get to come out in the world, your past holders would just have you go dormant again?”

“…Yes?”

Passtel wasn’t sure why Clyde found this surprising, but what surprised him was when a pair of giant hands came his way. Passtel blinked as Clyde scooped him up from the bowl, holding him in his palms. One finger glided down his slimy skin, Clyde’s words becoming slow as the power of Patience took hold.

“I am... so sorry,” Clyde whispered to him.

“Huh?”

“I am so sorry... that others did that to you,” Clyde said again. “How… how could they? Take you into their care, then only use you… just for your powers?”

“It was easier that way,” Passtel explained. “Having me for a kwami… well, it’s messy and gross.”

“Gross?” Clyde snapped, at least attempted to with his speech and movements still slowed from the slime. “It’s just… magic, nothing gross about it! Messy, yes, but that does not an excuse… to lock you up!”

“It’s fine,” Passtel said softly. “I’m used to it.”

“Well, if you’re used to that, I can get used to a bit of sticky slime,” Clyde insisted, voice slow and determined. “I am not locking you up.”

Passtel could only stare at his holder for a moment, tears welling up in his eyes. For a moment he hesitated, but he found he couldn’t keep himself back, flying up into the air, arms pressed against Clyde’s cheek in a tight hug. He held him tightly, everything telling him to let go knowing he was leaving slime on his face, but Clyde made no effort to pull him away.

Passtel's bio is now up!

I don't have one kwami of time, but rather a group called the Timekeepers. This includes the canon Fluff and Sass, along with all my OCs that can manipulate time in some form.

Allta, my Frog kwami of Change.

Kirrin, my Qilin kwami of Light.

Duskk, my Grim kwami of Darkness.

Passtel is a sweet kwami who loves to be near humankind. Unfortunately, a natural slime covers him, which many holders aren’t fond of and they often confine him to his Miraculous. This has lead him to often be closed-off from new holders, afraid of rejection, but he bonds tightly to those who accept him.

Passtel's Miraculous is snail-shell necklace, and their tool a bubble wand. Their favorite food is bubble gum, and their transformation phrase is “Passtel, slow down!”.
