"Quite a noisy little cricket, aren't you?"
~Malva

The time has finally come y'all, my first Vessel character after pretty much a year since I got sucked into this mess. Might seem odd as they are the most common fan characters seen, but the thing is I often don't make characters anymore, I wait for them to come to me, and with this one it just took a while longer. I love Vessels, but that's also why I didn't want to force anything and just waited until the right ideas came around. With this one I got the first glimpses a few months ago, then a couple weeks ago I learned her name and a bit of her personality, and this morning while running on only three hours of sleep I learned about her archery skills, her mother, a whole load of her personality, and the bell. Good thing I waited because I don't think I would have gotten all that if I went for it the moment I first glimpsed her.

Sum info:
This here is Cricket, a rather energetic and, as the title says, noisy Vessel. The bell she wears is her most prized possession, ringing softly with every step she takes. She also uses it to communicate, alongside strange faint chirps and a lot of gesturing. Due to still being mute and her face fixed in a static expression, she does whatever else she can to be heard and understood. She is a bit more grown, about the same height as Kin (Broken Vessel), and yes while she is biologically genderless she does identify as female (though they/them pronouns are fine too), I got good story reasons for that. Her skills with the bow help her survive the harsh wilds of the kingdom, though she still avoids unnecessary fights. She currently wanders around Hallownest trying to find her (adoptive) mother, Malva, whom she'd been separated from after a Garpede attack.

I got, a lot planned for her. :')
