Jiminy CricketBelieve it or not, Jiminy wasn't always a cricket. He once was a puppeteer and grifter, traveling through Fairy Tale Land with his parents, picking pockets and fast-talking locals out of their money. But he never felt comfortable living the life of a traveling thief and he was always looking for a way out. He thought he had found one when
Rumplestiltskin offered him a potion that would deal with his parents, but his father used sleight-of-hand to slip the potion to their latest marks, turning two innocent people into wooden puppets. The people were parents to a young Geppetto. Horrified at what had happened, Jiminy wished upon a star for an escape and The Blue Fairy answered. He was turned into the talking cricket we all know now, and devoted his life to helping Geppetto, and later his son, Pinocchio, do the right thing. He became a trusted member of
Prince Charming and
Snow White's inner council that was called when
The Evil Queen declared her intentions to cast The Dark Curse.
Dr. Archie HopperIn Storybrooke, Jiminy is known as Dr. Archie Hopper, a local therapist. He has been counseling young
Henry who has shown signs of being deeply unhappy in his life with his adoptive mother, Mayor
Regina Mills, and has been retreating into his fairy tale book to find answers. While Regina manipulated and cowered Archie early on after
Emma came to Storybrooke in attempts to convince her to leave town, Archie found his backbone after being trapped in an abandoned mine with young Henry. Since then he has been Henry's biggest advocate during Regina and Emma's feud, counseling both women to do what's best for him. He also councelled
Mr. Gold about his issues with his son and put
David Nolan under hypnosis in an attempt to help him recover some of his missing memories.
