For most of their lives, Cicadas are quiet, docile creatures. However, when they do want attention, it is noticed by everyone. Those born in the year of the Cicada may seem to be introverted but explode when they want to be heard. They play loudly once they come out of their shell, but spend an inordinate amount of time trying to mate. Cicada people have been known to have their limbs dismember from their body when their middle left toe is pulled. Cicadas do not get along well with those born in the years of the Cricket, Mole or Windshield.
