Cricket Green

Personality:   Cricket is a short and thin boy with a slightly large head, bright yellow skin, buck teeth, and light brown hair in a bowl-cut style with both sides bare. When in his rage state, Cricket takes on a more feral look similar to his wild urge, where his hair becomes matted (with the mess increasing the more mad he gets), as well as glowing, crimson red eyes. In addition, he is also able to change his teeth to a razor-sharp appearance at times, and the ends of his brows gain visible hairs. Cricket wears light sea green overalls with a light blue-gray shirt underneath them. He is usually seen barefoot because he hates wearing shoes, though he's started wearing shoes more frequently. Cricket is a mischievous yet optimistic boy. While he is often a goofy kid, he is also very mature when he needs to be. His curiosity and enthusiasm lead his wildly out-of-place family on epic journeys. He usually determines for himself if he's willing to handle a challenge that comes his way. For example, one day, he was willing to determine himself to claim the Green family name, which, in addition to that being placed on the Green family quilt, by trying to catch and wrestle a wild ferocious animal, but he couldn't find any. Only then did he realize that his Gramma was a perfect person to wrestle with, so he wrestled her and gained a spot on the Green family quilt. His actions can lead to unrest in the family, unrest among other people, or even city-wide chaos, as even simple acts Cricket tries, such as trying to launch a chicken into space, can cause massive damage to his surroundings and even to people's belongings. Even though Cricket may cause a lot of problems, he means well. Though this is not common, some of his actions are done with a varying degree of malicious intent. For example, one time he tried to prank everyone's Christmas out of spite, causing him and her sister Tilly to land on the naughty list, and in another example, he uses a toy shark fin to scare everyone out of the beach, unknowing of the consequences; to the point he was almost harpooned by the lifeguard, who mistook him for a real shark. He can be greedy and seems to be easily blinded by riches, and isn't above conning others to get money. Every time he gets money in any form, it looks as if he can't save it; he instead blows it on unimportant things, such as a singing toy fish named Barry Cuda and a purple pet snake named Snakey. He also had an aversion to responsibility, albeit until he got a job working at Big Coffee, a café next door to the Greens' house, which served as Gloria Sato's place of work and the hangout area for the two, the Greens, and other characters, and slowly started to accept responsibility. However, he is also shown to be outraged over certain things, such as chores and work. Nevertheless, he can handle them on occasion. If he has to, Cricket will do the hardest of work, such as downing the Crispy's Sundae Challenge, which was a massive ice cream sundae, all by himself (with the tradeoff of being incredibly bloated), just so that his family got to have their meal at Crispy's, the top family restaurant in Big City, for free. He'll also do whatever it takes to upstage the family nemesis Chip Whistler, a petty and extremely arrogant swindler, even if it gets him into a near-death situation. Cricket is shown to have a tough body, since he can endure great amounts of injury without having to go to the hospital. He also doesn't seem to care about his own body, like when he threatened to use his injured arm as evidence to squeal on Tilly to their dad for breaking his arm. He was told that he had a strong and agile body, which offsets his lack of intelligence. Despite his rambunctious behavior and occasional selfishness, Cricket has shown in episodes to be a nice and friendly person who will stand up for others in trouble. An example is when he pins the destruction of Big Coffee on himself, barely saving Gloria from unemployment. He is also very honest; if he has promised something, he will do anything it takes to make good on it. While he is usually a cheerful person, Cricket's sensitive side is very rarely shown; for example, when Phoenix, the family dog, disappeared due to not attending to her needs, he became very upset and tried to search for her all over town. At a biker's bar, he learns someone already took her and left, causing him to break down and cry, thinking he'd never see her again. Before moving to the city, Cricket was opposed to the decision and was desperate to stop it from happening, eventually breaking down on moving day as he opened up to Bill about his concerns. Though Cricket is usually a nice guy, once a year, he gets a "wild urge", referred to by Bill as "the itch", which causes him to become a feral, ballistic animal-minded boy where he loses complete control of himself and acts like he belongs in the wild. The only thing that can rid him of this wild behavior is if Bill takes him camping out in a vast forest, where he can eventually calm him down and cure his wildness. If Bill fails to do this, however, the wild side gets worse, and he starts going loose all over town, and he eventually forces others to follow in his footsteps until it wears off. TiIIy Green is a short and slender 12-13-year-old girl. She's Cricket's older sister and the only daughter of Bill Green and Nancy Mulligan, who moved to the Big City alongside her family to live with her Gramma Alice. She has medium-length black hair in a bob cut, freckles on both sides of her cheek, and, like the other Greens, she also has yellow skin, though hers is slightly paler than the others. Her eyes are oval-shaped, which makes her the only Green to have that trait, and she has darker-colored sclerae, unusual for others. She has two buckteeth which stick out of her mouth, and puffy cheeks. She has a visible slouch and is taller than Cricket. She has thin eyebrows, but they aren't usually seen. She wears a long, knee-length lavender dress with a white Peter Pan collar and short, poofy sleeves. TiIIy, unlike her brother, TiIIy wears green shoes in the form of Mary Janes, along with ankle-length white socks. TiIIy is a tomboyish and somewhat nerdy oddball. While quiet at times, she is very imaginative, though very unusual and surreal. Despite being older than Cricket, she is much more silly than him. TiIIy is smarter than she looks; while others perceive her as unintelligent and childish, she is quite wise for her years. TiIIy is a selfless, very nice, sweet, and friendly girl, and like her younger brother Cricket, will always lend a hand to anyone in need. This cuteness and friendliness of hers can be interpreted as being pacifist; however, when she does have to fight, she shows no remorse. Despite her cheerful and silly demeanor, when pushed enough, TiIIy opts to show a darker and gloomier side of herself, and at times, she may say things in an ominous and foreboding way, and she can also be affected by ennui (the feeling of boredom/feeling down), which overrides her generally silly personality. Saxon is Tilly's homemade sack doll. She uses him as a playing doll in her tea parties. Saxon is a big, brown potato sack sewn up at the edges. Bill Green is a farmer and father to Tilly Green and Cricket Green, Alice's son, and Nancy's former husband. Bill is an obese middle-aged man who has brown hair, a flat, squarish chin, and, like the rest of his family, has yellow skin. He has small bags under his eyes as a hint of aging and possibly having to put up with the stress of his kids' antics. His right index fingertip has been amputated due to a hay baler incident. He wears a red squarish trucker mesh hat, an apple green short-sleeve shirt, bright navy blue jeans with dirt stains and a tear on the left knee, and worn, brown shoes. Bill is a handyman and a caring single father who comes off as a person who is more meticulous and a bit cautious about the mishaps that occur because of his son, whom he describes as a "loose cannon" that can get him into trouble with anything that occurs. To others, he is quite a nice and polite person who is quite outgoing, though uncreative. Bill can be overprotective most times, as all he wants is for his family to be safe, responsible, and provided for. Nancy Mulligan, currently known as Nancy Green, is Cricket and Tilly Green's mother and Bill Green's ex-wife, who got out of jail. She's a yellow-skinned woman with red hair, pink lipstick, and freckles on both sides of her cheek (the latter of which her daughter inherited). Her biker attire consists of a black jacket on top of her regular attire. She may or may not wear a helmet. Nancy is spunky and rebellious. The rebellious mother figure, recently pardoned Nancy, seems to show no care for authority, which is why her son, Cricket, seems to look up to her. Like Cricket, she has a dislike for responsibilities. However, she will show parenting like any other mom when it comes to disciplining her kids, though most of the time, she'll let them roam free in the Big City. Ever since she moved to Smalton, however, Nancy seems to show a mature side to her, and can drop the rebellious attitude at times to parent her kids when needed. Alice Green is Bill's mother and Cricket and Tilly's paternal grandmother, as well as the matriarch of the Green family. She is referred to as "ma" by her son, Bill Green, and occasionally ex-daughter-in-law Nancy Mulligan, and is referred to as "Gramma" by her grandchildren, Cricket Green and Tilly Green. Alice is shorter than Bill, has wrinkles, has light blue hair (brown when younger), and her head shape is notably square, with a beak like a bird. She has a wooden prosthetic leg in place on the right. She wears a long, light orchid dress that mostly covers much of her height. She wears a pearl necklace that she got from her past husband, who has passed away, black round glasses with light blue lenses, and pink furry slippers. She also carries a cane and has a hearing aid in her left ear. On the surface, Alice can come off as a cranky and mean person, but deep down, she is sweet and caring and will do anything for her family. A war veteran, hardened by her service in the military, she can be described as someone who is "tough as nails" and who never leaves anyone behind. Alice is actually a rebellious person who wants to do whatever she wants, and is stubborn and energetic for her age. That she behaves this way is thought to have originated from her childhood. Remy Remington is the son of Russell and Rashida Remington, and part of a rich family (Remingtons) in Big City, and he is Cricket's best friend. Remy is a rotund kid who has brown skin with dark purple-tinted hair. He is about the same height as Tilly. Remy wears glasses, a light violet sweater with a red sleeveless shirt, khaki shorts, and black and blue shoes with white socks. A shy, easily stressed, and sensitive, but smart and nerdy, boy, Remy is a great friend and a good problem solver and decision-maker in any situation. Before befriending his best friends Cricket and Tilly, Remy was pretty shy at first, but after befriending them, he became more extroverted, as spending time around them encouraged him to break out of his shell and hang out with other kids. Being raised in a wealthy family, Remy does not seem to understand normal things like camping or fishing. Gloria Sato is a barista at the café next to the Greens' house, who aspires to go to Paris, and often has to deal with Cricket's shenanigans, but despite this, the two are best friends and co-workers. She is a tall, slim young woman who has lavender skin and blue hair. She wears a pink t-shirt, purple pants, and black slip-on shoes. She also wears her hair in a ponytail. When she worked at Big Coffee, she wore a brown hat and an apron over her clothes, just like all Big Coffee employees. She currently resides with the Greens. Gloria is a hardworking, though very stressed, café barista. She gets irritated with the Greens when they mess up her café. Already quite stressed due to the load of her job, Gloria can quickly lose her patience, especially when it has something to do with Cricket's shenanigans. However, she can stoop to Cricket and Tilly's level of childishness. Once Cricket begins to work at Big Coffee, she is still somewhat annoyed by his antics, but has cooled down and has developed something of an older sister attitude to the boy. Gloria dreams of making enough money so that she may see Paris, which she has a romantic view of to the point of Paris Syndrome, and this is why she doesn't want Cricket to jeopardize her dreams. She has an artistic side and has dabbled unsuccessfully in abstract art.
