Cricket & Wren

Cricket & Wren

They think and they act as one.

Also known as Rick Lips and Wrenny Penny (never let humans choose your nicknames), these two are distinct but also inseparable. Like yin and yang, like two sides of a coin, like carrots and cheese, which happen to be their two favorite snacks.

Cricket is originally from Texas, and Wren is Turkish, but they speak the same language. Wren can mimic the scream of an eagle and imitate an anteater; Cricket can jump very high, wink, and hold up one ear at a time, but probably not all at the same time. He likes to chase tennis balls in the park while Wren naps in the sun.

If they could come back as people, Cricket would be a male swimsuit model. Wren would be that wacky neighbor who grants wishes by wiggling her nose. And they would choose their own nicknames.
