The Time Traveler archetype reminds us that wisdom isn’t always new, and some truths are timeless.

She’s nostalgic and romantic, with one foot in a Bridgerton episode and the other in a dusty record store. Her heart fondly remembers eras gone by, and her home has enough antiques to rival a museum. She may horde mementos like a dragon…and might actually cherish them more than some humans.

Whether she’s a soft-spoken daydreamer or a quick-witted historian with a sharp tongue and sharper eyeliner, she carries a kind of magic that makes people take pause, as if getting near her might trigger the memory of a life lived long ago.

She doesn’t live in the past, but she absolutely visits often. (Sometimes emotionally, sometimes with her Etsy cart.) She genuinely believes time is a construct, and refuses to be bound by it. So if she shows up to brunch in Victorian boots and references a 1940s movie no one’s ever even heard of? Just go with it. She’s happy and we love a happy girl.

The Time Traveler archetype holds the sacred power of memory, and honoring our past. She teaches us that the most powerful way forward is through utilizing the wisdom we’ve already gained. That the past is what brought us to the present, and that those who don't learn from it are bound to repeat it until they do.

She’s not behind the times. She just prefers the ones with better fashion… and phones with actual freaking buttons.
