Jiminy Cricket

Jiminy Cricket, also known by his cursed name Archibald 'Archie' Hopper, is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He was originally a man, who wanted to escape his corrupt parents and help Geppetto after what he did to Geppetto's parents, so he was turned into a cricket and helped Geppetto through his life. When the Dark Curse was unleashed, he became a human again and the Storybrooke psychiatrist.

Season 1
Jiminy lives with his parents, Martin and Myrna who put on a puppet show then get Jiminy to pickpocket from the audience. Jiminy is the only one who feels a shred of remorse and contemplates leaving, but his parents always find a way to keep him with them. Fed up, Jiminy goes to Rumplestiltskin and gets a potion that will turn his parents into marionettes. That night, Martin and Myrna play a scam upon a couple, in which they give them a bottle of 'elf tonic' which will protect them from an 'oncoming plague'. When they leave, Jiminy attempts to use the potion, but the bottle is filled with rainwater. It is revealed that Jiminy and his family gave the couple Rumplestiltskin's potion and the pair of them turned into puppets, and that the couple were Geppetto's parents. Distraught, Jiminy summons the Blue Fairy who transforms him into a cricket so he can escape his parents and aid Geppetto.

When the curse hits, Jiminy becomes Dr. Archie Hopper, the Storybrooke psychiatrist. The mayor Regina Mills puts her son Henry in therapy with Dr. Hopper, who tries to get Henry to stop believing in his fairytale theory. When Henry's biological mother Emma Swan arrives in town, the first Storybrooke resident she meets is him, as he is walking his dog Pongo down the street. Regina attempts to frame Emma, and makes it look like she stole Dr. Hopper's files. It is later revealed that Hopper was in on it, as Regina manipulates him by threatening to take away his job and his house. When Henry goes down into the mines in order to find proof that Regina is hiding something down there, Archie goes in and saves him.

When Emma and Henry eventually break the curse, a huge wave of energy spreads out across the town, giving people their memories back. Archie is hit by the wave, and looks astonished as he realises that Henry was right.
