Mallet Cricket

"Oh, puppet, you know that I would never lie to you."

- Mallet to "Ceder Wood"

Mallet Cricket is the son of The Talking Cricket from the classic tale of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. He is, like insects, cold-blooded and has unlike others from Pinocchio no problem lying. Already at young age Mallet discover that people came to him for advice and listen to what he had to say and despite his parents' warnings he caved in to using it for his person gain. Not only does his silver tongue and charismatic ways constantly put him in trouble, it also the things that saves him from the consequences.

Portrayers
To voice Mallet his creator choses Evan Smith, one of the most active male voice actors in Mattel's work voicing both Dexter and Daring Charming in Ever After High. He also does Deuce Gorgon, Invisi Billy and five more male characters in Monster High.

Live-action-wise a young version of Ian Somerhalder is the spot image of Mallet. His “I’m a bad boy and you can’t change that but you’re kind of cute”-attitude and image is something that he and Mallet share as well as a lot of physical features.

Raven black hair, piercing icy blue ice and a razor sharp jawline (and razor sharp remarks) make him beyond perfect and the practically only one Mandiga would accept after setting her mind to it.

Personality
Mallet is a very nocturnal person, meaning that he’s tired all day and that his energy peaks around midnight. Unfortunately school plays out during the day he tries to at least to some extent 12
