Cricket has buttercup yellow and orange-gold scales, described as similar to the color of the sun, that are speckled with black scales that look like tiny inkblots. She has golden-yellow talons, golden-orange-black wings, warm, dark brown eyes, and a long neck. She is slightly smaller than Blue, with small, sharp claws similar to a leopard's and an open, curious face. She wears octagonal, gold-rimmed spectacles and a bag tied sideways across her chest. Blue noted that she smells like books.
