What if a dragonfly was a temporal being? Anyways meet Macromia Mosaic! She is my newest oc and one of the "villains" in Rip's lore (and by extension his whole family) that exists only in my head. OH- and she is a gardener :-]. Gardens are kinda important in my time travel stuff lol.

Text from picture under cut In case it's hard to read

Personal Data, Name: Macromia Mosaic (she/her) Height: 6’5 Weight: 190lbs Eyes: None  Hair: Green Occupation: Paradox Hunter, gardener of time. Base of Operations: The Temporal Gardens, The timestream. Enemies: Waverider, Rip Hunter & the Time Masters.

History, Macromia was created by the timestream for the same reason a riverbank requires dragonflies— to keep things tidy and keep out pesky bugs. Her main duty is to deal with paradoxes, always being able to sense when a new one buds. She handles them quickly and efficiently, though there are always a few she lets be if deemed not dangerous.The Temporal Gardens are a collection of information bastions between timestreams They’re much like a library but in the form of mutated greenery. Macromia makes sure it does not decay. She has had her fair share of run-ins with Waverider. When Waverider’s previous partner was killed, they attempted multiple times to destroy the timestream. Macromia got in the way of this every time. They eventually came to a truce, requiring Waverider to leave their original timeline and never return. Waverider now resides around a sister timeline— Though if they ever threaten the timeline again Macromia will handle it with finality. Unfortunately, It seems testing luck runs in the family. Not every paradox is dangerous but sometimes that can change over time, especially if the paradox is a hard headed Time Master.  Macromia has a new weed in the garden, Rip Hunter.

Powers/Abilities: Paradox detection, Unassisted Time travel,Quantum Energy Physiology, Energy Projection, Mental projection, Temporal Decay, Knowledge of the timestream and the navigation of it.

Honestly nothing is set in stone yet but I was considering the possibility that she came around after Mr Mind tried to eat the multiverse. I think it'd make sense, both keeping with the bug theme and nature. Plus the idea for time gardens actually comes from 52 when Rip says this. I just went crazy with it. But also I think when she was invented doesn't matter entirely because she can time travel to any time and any timeline (as its her job) but i do think that's her source.

Now I am actually kind of on the fence as to where the timestream got the source to create Macromia.

I consider maybe she was a person once upon a time like Waverider was but I also like the idea of that being one of their differences that adds to conflict. Not the human vs non human w.o emotions trope (bc Macromia has emotions even if her face has no expressions) but instead someone from earth vs someone from and entirely different background and how that affects whats important to the other vice versa.

I also consider maybe the timestream yoinked one of those baby worms mr mind was throwing at everyone in 52 and created her that way. IDK yet :-].
