Cricket is the [[:Category:Cricket|Cricket]] from the [[Hex]] universe. He is the [[:Category:Familiar (Hex)|familiar]] of [[Iobel Swan|Queen Iobel Swan Cartalian]] of [[Marlatia]].

==History==
Cricket was the spirit animal of [[Iobel Swan]] until she formally bound him to become her familiar when she was seven.<ref>[http://royal-obligation.dreamwidth.org/934.html?thread=199078#cmt199078 hostility]</ref> The two ran a magic shop together in the capital city of Emavan. When Iobel tries to flee a royal order, Cricket is poisoned and kidnapped to coerce her into remaining as a candidate for marriage to [[Edarial Cartalian]]. He is returned to Iobel upon their marriage. Upon the revelation that [[Nataliem Oteliar]] and not Edarial was responsible for his abduction, Cricket eventually thaws (slightly) towards Edarial, though not without threats.<ref>[http://come-midnight.dreamwidth.org/1007.html?thread=47343#cmt47343 motherly]</ref>

==Language==
As a familiar, Cricket speaks his own personal language known only to Iobel (and, later, those under the translation spell invented by [[Adarin Sorelas (Cypress)]]). He can also speak a little [[Marlatia|Marlatian]], but restricts himself almost entirely to swear words, helpfully provided by [[Zevros Cartalian]].
