The Cramp Twins - Main Characters

Main Characters

• Lucien Cramp: Lucien is the smarter of the twins, but also considered the 'eco-loser'. Gentle and sensitive, Lucien is frequently bullied and name-called by his brother; Wayne's favourite choice of addressing Lucien is "Girlpants", but he sometimes calls Lucien a "nerd". Lucien enjoys science, nature and is a vegetarian. Lucian longs for a pet,either a cat or a dog, but due to his mother's extreme cleaniliness rules, he is denied owning any. Secretly, Lucien keeps a worm farm under his bed, that only Toni, Mari, Wayne and Wendy know about. It is shown in many episodes that Lucien has a fear of clowns. He has many skills, including knitting, and has shown interest in playing the harp. Lucien likes going to Soap City's only swamp (the only place he gets peace from Wayne, who is afraid of the place) where Tony lives. Lucien is technically the older twin as he was born first in the opening credits. Lucien is voiced by Kath Soucie.
• Wayne Archibald Cramp: the blue-skinned antihero of the series. He is taller, destructive, and the less intelligent of the twins. Wayne is obsessed with junk, which he collects and hides in his room; he spends most of his time at the junkyard, owned by only friend, Dirty Joe. Unlike Lucien, who loves the swamp, Wayne is terrified of the place, and also has a fear of frogs. Wayne is constantly annoyed by Wendy Winkle who has a crush on him. Wayne's only love is anything sugary, his main source of energy, and if he is deprived from it, he becomes tired and speaks nonsense. Wayne likes to give the impression that he's the best-behaved of the twins to his mother, and sometimes Miss Hissy, but in truth, he likes to manipulate to achieve his goals. Sometimes Lucien who gets in trouble for Wayne's behaviour, although in many episodes, somehow the tides turn and Wayne is punished by pure coincidence. Even though he highly dislikes Lucien, he is not above joining forces with him whenever they have a problem that neither of them handle too well. Wayne is technically the younger twin as he was born last in the opening. Wayne is voiced by Tom Kenny.
• Dorothy Cramp: Dorothy Cramp is the yellow-skinned mother to the twins, and wife of Horace Cramp. She is a neat freak who cannot abide the sight of dirt. Her love of cleaniess is a major joke in the show. She once raided the twins' rooms and husband's storage to check their cleaniess, which resulted in her kicking them out of the house due to Wayne's junk, Lucien's mud for his worms, and Horace's Rodeo Rita picture. She is something of a scientist by way of cleaning products, for she often mixes home-made cleaning formulas to seek out the strongest germ-killer. Dorothy loves both her sons, yet often wrongly believes that Wayne is like an angel and Lucien is a troublemaker (this really stems from Lucien's pro-eco views colliding with her very hygienic views), but she has caught Wayne in wrongdoing many times. It is revealed in a number of episodes that her first name is Dorothy, or as Wayne puts it in one episode, 'sometimes Dot, never Dotty'. She has a crush on fellow clean-freak Agent X, who is suspected by Lucien, to be an alien. Dorothy is voiced by Nicole Oliver.
• Horace Neville Cramp: Horace Neville Cramp is the green-skinned father of Wayne and Lucien and husband of Dorothy Cramp. He works at the local soap and cleaner products factory. He is also a third-rate cowboy, being obsessed with "cowgirl" Rodeo Rita, much to his wife's disapproval. He is always fruitlessly trying to impress his boss, Mr Winkle, although is quite incompetent, and hated by his mother-in-law. Horace is voiced by Ian James Corlett.
• Tony Parsons is best friend to Lucien (although they have been known to fall out) and a swamp child. He possesses a vast knowledge about the swamp, its' people's traditions, and natural history. He has many brothers and sisters. Tony's dad's name is Seth and his mom's is Lily. Tony is extremely short (about 1 ft tall) and finds it hampers his day to day life, e.g. riding a bicycle, but uses equipment to aid him, e.g. he wears a flag-meet-helmet whilst riding his specially-designed bike so other road users can see him. Apart from this, Tony's height doesn't seem to effect his self-esteem. He and Mari are Lucien's only friends. Tony dislikes Wayne and often helps Lucien out of situations Wayne's causing trouble in. A running gag in the show is Tony's belief in supernatural things, like magic. Tony is voiced by Terry Klassen.
• Wendy Winkle is the only daughter of Walter Winkle, rendered a spoiled brat by her lifestyle. Wendy is extremely demanding of anything that can be attained by her parents' wealth, and is a tyrant feared by many due to her power. She is also very rude to everyone, except Wayne, who she has an obsessive crush on. This is a major theme in the series and she tries everything to win his heart. Unfortunately, she is always unsuccessful, and Wayne always hates her. Wendy loathes Lucien, and usually joins in when Wayne bullies him. During one episode, Wayne fell in love with Mr. Winkle's hired mechanic, Joanne, and Wendy sabotaged Wayne's and Joanne's date. Sometimes, Wendy threatens other kids at school by asking her father to sack their parents. She hates the swamp, even though her family are descended from Swamp Folk. Wendy is voiced by Jayne Paterson.
• Mari Phelps: Mari is Lucien's other friend. She often co-operates with Lucien on his environment-conserving efforts, but often can't help desiring a bit of power. She is a foster child and is looked after by a happiness-obsessed, brown-haired family with strange customs. She is the black sheep of her foster family and is often embarrassed by their habits. Lucien briefly had a crush on Mari when she felt sorry for him during a time he felt certain he would never have a girlfriend, but nothing came of it. However, they remained good friends. (Alternative spelling: Marie.) Mari is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain.
