.:Physical Appearance:. Cricket is one of those people that make you take a second glance. At first she is your average young lady, slim and tall with long tresses of straight blonde hair which is often kept in braids to keep it clean. She is often seen wearing a simple brown dress that resembles that of a gunny sack, but what good would fine dresses be to her now? Her fingers are long and chapped, her nails chipped both from hard labor and her constant chewing. Her eyes are shockingly green, standing out from her pale skin like beacons. However her lips are very pale like a frost covered rose. Though her childhood was one of nobility her new role has left her thin body well muscled. Her arms are without an ounce of fat from her constant washing. Cricket’s face could be described as moon shaped, somewhat round and very very pale.
.:Height:. 5’6
.:Portrayed by:. Shandi-lee from flickr ^_^

.:Personality:. With all the low blows she has been dealt Cricket has become a rather short tempered person. She is most severe with nobility as many of them were once her friends but now turn their backs on her in shame. She is very friendly with those of the lower classes though she is fearful of the druids as she has heard of them playing with magic. Cricket has a severe temper and will not step down from any argument, even when it means a night in the gallows. Overall Cricket has a good heart….. It is just hidden under the façade she has developed to try to keep herself safe from any more blows.

.:Birthplace:. Gwent
.:Family:. Stephoni de’ Vois (D), Lucaro de’ Vois (D)
.:Occupation:. launderer
.:Current Location of Residence:. Gwent
.:History:.Cricket’s life thus far has been fairly problematic. Until the age of eight years she resided with her parents as a noble, though they tried many times they were unable to birth a son and Cricket became their sole focus. So named because her father loved the sounds of crickets chirping at night she was often teased by the other noble children for her less than conventional name….but that was alright with Cricket….she was a daddy’s girl. Inevitably disaster struck. Cricket was being looked after by the many servants her father employed when word spread that while traveling the couple had been ambushed, their bodies found. It was a terrible hardship for the young girl, to loose both of her parents in one fatal blow….But soon enough she would have more problems. For a few days the servants remained with her, unsure of what to do now that their employers were gone. Soon their estate became overrun with eager nobles dieing to stake their claim…For Cricket was a girl and by this reasoning not an heir. No one wanted to take the child in, her friends that she had often visited would now not even look her in the eye. She was no longer worthy of their time. However to her aid came one of her mother’s favorite servants, a launderer by the name of Adele. With no one looking to take in the child she agreed to take the young Cricket even though her own pockets were empty and she had 5 children of her own.

Well time changes all things. The life of hard work soon took dear Adele, and Cricket was left to a new profession….cleaning the clothes of those people she had once broken bread with.
