What? I'm on? Hmm, what to say about Ticklemint. Well, she was born in the month of Running, or March to us humans. A fitting month for a green Kacheek too! Kacheeks, in my humble opinion, are the cutest things in Neopia.

I knew from the minute I saw her that she needed a "minty" name, but nothing obvious like Mint Chocolate or Minty Fresh. (Which are probably taken anyway.) So I there I was, brainstorming for the cutest name that no one else could think of, and then I thought of Ticklemint!

Not only is Ticklemint the cutest NeoPet, she's also very good-natured and well-behaved! Always saying things like, "I'm so happy you're my owner!" She minds her manners ("Pleeeeeeaaaase can we have a NeoHome?") and is never picky with her food. What more could an owner want?

This Kacheek is also obsessed with Mystery Island, especially the tropical fruits that grow there. It's her goal to open a fruit preserve there, you know, with Gadgadsbogen and all the fruits disappearing and all. We actually have a small collection of fruits, which may be up someday.

Ticklemint also has a penchant for anything that's green. You name it - green candy, green cakes, green plushies, green green green. Even her favorite food and toy are green! And the green just piled up in our Safety Deposit Box, I decided to convert most of our shop into a gallery, just for her.

All in all, Ticklemint is just perfect. She's well-behaved, always donating to the Money Tree, or helping out others with their Faerie Quests. I know that sometimes she feels bad because I can't afford to give her everything she wants, like a Lime Chomby Cake or Earth Faerie Doll, but I always remind her that it's better to give than to receive, and in some way or another, she'll be rewarded for her good deeds. And one day, she was! We won four fire faeries, a Faerie paintbrush, and 30000 NP at the Fruit Machine! So you see, good things do come to those who wait.

As for being a Faerie Kacheek, I think Ticklemint likes her minty green fur!

My owner's name is reeberry. She's nineteen in human years, and loves to read, write, draw, and design. Sometimes you can find her at the Quest Message Boards, helping other Neopians look for Quest items on the Marketplace. She also works as Layout Designer for the -blocked-Confessions of an Event Diarist
