Cricket is a High Elf Eldritch Knight Fighter that is currently played by @ColonelCheru and is traveling with the other party members from The Shadows We Cast stream. She has lost her memories and is traveling on a quest to retrieve them.

## **Character Description**

### **Physical Description**

Cricket is a peach toned high elf with strawberry blonde hair and bright sky blue eyes. Despite her elvish heritage, she has an athletic build which is in contrast to most other elves, who are usually more slender in appearance. Her armor bares the emblem of a feline skull on her right pauldron, which has several deep claw marks scratched through it.

She wears a navy blue tunic that drops to her thighs with hot pink and light blue etchings on the upper and lower halves respectively, along with a light blue belt strapped around her waist. Her dark colored pants are tucked inside her boots, which have been lined with a soft furry material and etched with pink and blue etchings.

She also has the stereotypical witch's hat that has been embroidered with one continuous pink line that forms the outline of leaves on a stem from top to bottom of her hat. There is a vaporwave pattern inside of her hat (because Cheru simply LOVES the aesthetic).

## **Biography / Story**

### **Background**

Cricket ended up in the town of Leilon with memory loss, she had been there for a few weeks prior to her meeting up with the group and leaving to head to Phandalin.

### **Pre-Stream Campaign**

In the campaign before streaming, the group shares the same dream, in which upon waking up Cricket decides that it’s time to leave the town. Kilian spots her from a distance while she is out looking for a quest board and chases her down. She dips into the closest store as a giant man in heavy armor bolting towards you is a fright. Upon Kilian confronting her and confirming that they did share the same dream, she comes to the conclusion that the dream is telling her that this motley group is the key to regaining her memories.

## **Relationships**

### **Kilian Ó Broin**

Cricket enjoys Kilian’s company a lot. She finds that he is someone that she feels oddly familiar with even without really knowing him. Especially his unwavering will to fight. She admires his skills on the battlefield and is proud to consider him a teammate. She is curious about his connection to the fight and his unyielding devotion to his god. Especially since she does not follow any god herself. Out of the party, she sees Kilian as the only one who would pose any challenge to herself in a fight, thus why she tends to challenge him to competitions every so often. She relates with Kilian the most out of the party.

### **Danzan**

Cricket is curious about Danzan’s particular race, she’s never seen another Tanuki before. She has come to accept his conversational skills and has started to allow him to handle the majority of negotiations that the party encounters. While they did cross words with one another earlier on, Cricket has come to accept Danzan. She’s sometimes wary of his plans.

### **Harrow**

Cricket doesn’t know much about Harrow but she enjoys his sense of humor and gets along well with. She’s curious to see what Harrow is hiding about his past. She tends to encourage his sometimes poorly designed plans.

### **Aseux**

Cricket went from being extremely skeptical about Aseux to adoring Aseux. The two of them have quickly bonded over doing silly antics. Aseux is another teammate that Cricket respects on the battlefield, as she was duly impressed when Aseux used a lightning attack against some enemies.

### **Waffle**

Waffle was the first goblin that the Dream Team saved along with two wolves that the party named Travis and Alfred. Cricket has a special place in her heart for Waffle.

### **Clam Loneblade**

Clam was a magical blue Kolbold that appeared at the end of S1, Episode 12. Clam told the group that they would encounter him in the future for revenge. Cricket nails him with a dirty 20 fire bolt, which does nothing. He teleports away, leaving only a pile of gunpowder that he spit up. Out of spite, Cricket "steals" his last name, claiming it's now her last name as well.

### **Seven**

Seven clearly recognized Cricket during the giant fight in Triboar, causing Cricket to freeze up. She later confessed to the group after Kilian persuaded her, that Seven and the Seven Fangs are dangerous even if she can't clearly remember why.
