Cricket

Phillipa Earnest, known by her nickname "Cricket", is a supporting character in the Literary Mosaic universe.

Found in Cadaver's Warehouse, Cricket was rescued by Hartley and Gunnarson. She eventually falls in love with and marries Hartley, despite strong objections from her father and the fact that a restraining order was put in place to prevent Hartley from going near her. They eventually move to Scotland to hide from The Man.

Trivia

 * Among the collective writers, Cricket is the least liked character, with Frankthetriviaman and Tugboatfan being her strongest critics, and 1,000 Eyes being her strongest advocate. Among the problems pointed out with Cricket are that she is a dimensionless character that has contributed nothing substantial to the story, and the whole way she was introduced makes her the archetypal "forced love interest." Frank especially has been quite vocal in pointing out the ridiculousness of the relationship, arguing that no one gets married that quickly, and that their feelings are based on passion and nothing deeper, therefore they don't truly love each other. Eyes has argued that he is paying homage to how Christie and Doyle introduced love interests to Arthur Hastings and John Watson, respectively, and this is also intended as a breakdown of such rushed relationships.
