She also has very pale skin and usually speaks in a low husky voice, though if excited or frightened, her voice goes higher in pitch. she doesn’t understand why she has to get up and go someplace else just because a bell rings, and when the hallway is crowded, she doesn’t see why she’s not allowed to crawl through the air vents to get to her next class." (Source:Mike Young Productions website)Ĭreepie is a young middle school girl (Approximately 13 or 14 years old) with a goth sense of fashion and personality. Half the time she doesn’t know what the rules are and the other half of the time the rules don’t make any sense to her i.e. (She thinks Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” was the first reality makeover show.) After the freedom of growing up in a “natural” environment, Creepie has a hard time dealing with the regimentation of school. She often impresses teachers with her knowledge of literature, though her take on what she reads is a bit off. She is always true to herself, doing things in her own unconventional buggy way and refuses to go the same vanilla route as everybody else, even if there are unexpected consequences for herself and everybody else.Ĭreepie is well-prepared academically for school – she’s been taught by bookworms and has read her way through the vast library at Dweezwold mansion. In other words, she’s “different” and she’s not going to push that on anybody else, but when other people try to force her to participate in their activities and/or conform, Creepie pushes back. Her favorite colors are black, purple, and acid green.Ĭreepie is REACTIVELY PROACTIVE. Since no one in Creepie’s family has a credit card (she’s never even been inside a store!) Creepie has developed her own sense of style. She roots for the monster insects in horror movies and boos the gun-toting humans trying to save the world. ![]() She doesn’t walk, so much as skitter, she breaks up food into tiny crumbs before she eats it, and she’ll perch on the back of a chair rather than sit on it. Creepie has no idea about what is appropriate human behavior. Think Napoleon Dynamite with pigtails, and without the llama. She’s totally comfortable with herself so, if other people can’t deal with her or think she’s a freak, that’s their problem. While Creepie is ordinarily cool, aloof and low-key, she’ll leap into action to save a bug in trouble, and she’ll stick up for the underdog of any species.Ĭreepie knows she doesn’t fit in, and she really doesn’t care. I know some termites who’d love to get the recipe.” She’s a girl of few words, but she chooses them well. She’s not intimidated by anyone, and she’s not afraid to tell the truth – which she delivers with understated humor that’s not always appreciated, i.e., when she tastes Chris-Alice’s health muffins, “Hmm… Nice and dry, with a woody aftertaste. Creepie treats everyone the same, from the most popular kid in school or the lowliest nerd. She just figures that since she’s forced to live amongst them, she might as well figure out the best way to deal with them.īecause she hasn’t been socialized with humans, Creepie is oblivious to distinctions like race, class or money. She is curious about them and their ways, but not because she wants to emulate them. Creepie feels no malice towards humans, she just looks at them with a clinical, detached eye, much like a scientist looking at a bug under a microscope. She definitely doesn’t feel like one of them and still looks at them from a bug’s perspective: as giant two-legged slugs who only think they run the planet insects were here for millions of years before them and will be here long after they’re gone. (“Hey, we were all larva, way back when.”)Ĭreepie loves her bug family, but she’s iffy about human beings. Creepie’s parents have raised her well – voracious Caroleena teaching her to go out into the world unafraid to gobble up everything life has to offer, and New Age Vinnie teaching Creepie to be nonjudgmental and love her fellow earth-residents. ![]() ![]() Since Caroleena and Vinnie have an interspecies marriage, they can’t have natural children so, in addition to adopting Creepie, they’ve adopted dozens of other orphan bugs of every species. ![]() "When Creepie skitters back into the warm, dark nest she calls home, she is greeted with open wings by her two adoptive parents, Caroleena, a praying mantis, and Vinnie, a vampire mosquito. Once she was ready, Creepie went to the school for the first time and met Chris Alice, who happily greeted her and Budge. Her foster Mother and her foster Father knew she'd have to leave to be with her fellow humans, so they prepared her by eventually enrolling her to Middlington Middle School. When she was an infant, she was found at the porch of Dweezewold Masion by the insects that lived there. Creepie's babyhood is mostly described in " Creepie Crawling".
