==Appearance== Cricket is described as a twenty-something girl with a gymnast's build, a blonde buzz-cut, and a metal cage as a mask.<ref name="7.8e1">“Handle her, Cricket,” Hookwolf spoke, pressing a hand against his collarbone where a bullet had struck him. The scarred girl with the buzz cut dashed forward, reaching behind her back to draw two scythe-like weapons, each only about as long as her forearm.<br><br>Coil’s soldier turned to fire at the incoming villainess, but Cricket ducked to the right, then evaded left, in time with the noise of the gunfire. The distance between them closed rapidly. I didn’t see what happened next, as Coil’s soldier disappeared into the darkness and Cricket followed her in.<br>[...]<br>My bugs reacted to a funny noise from the direction of Cricket and Coil’s woman, but I couldn’t hear it myself. Grue’s power did strange things to sound. I had more immediate concerns.<br>[...]<br>I looked for Cricket, and found her in the blackness, dragging Coil’s soldier back toward us. I saw her emerge from the darkness, one of the miniature scythes buried in the woman’s upper arm, the other buried in her thigh. With a full-body effort, Cricket swung the woman forward and pulled the scythes free. Coil’s soldier rolled onto the ground before Cricket. If her powers didn’t give her an edge in fitness, she was pretty damn fit for her frame. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/buzz-7-8/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.8]]</ref> She has a scar from where she had her throat slashed.<ref name="Cast2">'''Cricket''' – Like Stormtiger, she was a onetime combatant in the underground fighting tournaments. Cricket is a young woman with vastly accelerated reflexes and the ability to generate and hear subsonic noises. She can use these noises to disorient and induce vertigo in her foes or use staccato blasts as a form of radar. She favors kama as a weapon – short scythes that can each be held in one hand. Covered in small scars, she wears a metal cage over her face and keeps her hair short. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (in depth)]</ref> ===Equipment=== Utilizes twin kamas – miniature scythes found in some martial arts styles.<ref name="Cast1">'''Cricket''' – A member of Empire Eighty-Eight in her first appearance, Cricket sports a shaved head, a cage-mask over her face and twin kamas – miniature scythes. She can manipulate sounds beyond an audible range, disorienting her foes or serving her as a radar, and has enhanced reflexes. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast (spoiler free)]</ref> Due to her throat being slashed, she makes use of an artificial larynx to talk,<ref name="I11e">[[Interlude 11e]]</ref> although she was sometimes capable of speaking in a strangled voice without it.<ref>“Hey!” Cricket’s voice was strangled, strained. I wondered if one of the injuries that had given her one of those scars had done something to her vocal chords. She lowered one of the scythes toward Coil’s soldier. “I got a-” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/buzz-7-8/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.8]]</ref>
