Cricket Green

Personality:   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 leads his wildly out-of-place family on epic journeys. He usually determines himself if he's willing to handle a challenge that comes in the way. This is best shown in "Cricket Versus", throughout the episode, 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 he realized 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 either unrest in the family, unrest among other people or even city-wide chaos; this is best shown in "Space Chicken" where his simple act of trying to launch a chicken into space caused 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, as seen in both "Green Christmas" and "Shark Objects" - in the former episode, he tries to prank everyone's Christmas out of spite, causing him and Tilly to land on the naughty list, and in the latter episode, he uses a toy shark fin to scare everyone out 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, as seen in "Wishing Well" and "Flimflammed", where he obtains Tilly's savings and $100 respectively, and isn't above conning others to get money, as seen in the latter episode. 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 Barry Cuda and Snakey ("Barry Cuda" and "Cheap Snake".) He also had an aversion for responsibility, until the events of "Critterball Crisis", where he got a job working at Big Coffee with Gloria and slowly started to accept responsibility (following the events of "Chipwrecked" however, he and Gloria have since fired, and no longer work there). However, he is also shown to be outraged over certain things, such as chores and work. But nevertheless, he is able to handle them on occasion. If he has to, Cricket will do the hardest of work; this is shown in "Clubbed" where he single-handedly closed up the cafe while Gloria was out at a nightclub with her friends. Another example of hard work that he'll do anyway is when he downed the Crispy's Sundae Challenge all by himself (with the tradeoff of being incredibly bloated). He'll also do whatever it takes to upstage the family nemesis Chip Whistler, even if it gets him into a near-death situation. 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. ("Cricketsitter") In "Ding Dongers", he is shown to have a tough body, since he is able to endure great amounts of injury without having to go to the hospital. 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 shown in "Critterball Crisis" where he pins the destruction 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. ("Cricket's Shoes") He has also treated his family to a very big meal at Crispy's, the top family restaurant in Big City, purely out of kindness. ("Desserted") While he is usually a cheerful person, Cricket's sensitive side is very rarely shown; for example, when Phoenix disappeared due to not attaining 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. ("Phoenix Rises") 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 is able to 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. ("Wild Side").
