Creem

Creem Murphy is one of the titular protagonists of the British animated television series Meelk n' Creem. He is voiced by BaconMatthew in a fairly low-pitched Irish accent. He works as a guard at King Iyce Creem's palace with his best friend and roommate Meelk in the kingdom of Eten, where residents are anthropomorphic dairy products. He is the son of mother Wipt and father Sawer, and the brother of twin brother and sister Dubbel and Trubbel.

Character overview
Creem was born on December 12, 1980, making him the older of the series' titular duo (Meelk was born on June 27, 1981), and is slightly more mature than Meelk.

Personality
Although usually fairly upbeat, Creem is often sarcastic and is cynical of many things. He is quite to raise suspicion about things. During early development he was supposed to be more upbeat with Meelk being the more cynical one, but these personalities were later swapped by BaconMatthew.

Creem is a passionate artist and has been known to write comics, once unsuccessfully trying to publish them in the episode "Action Creemics".

Appearance
Creem is an average-looking pot of cream. He is shorter than Meelk and has a purple peel. He has been confirmed to be crème fraîche.

Parents
His mother Wipt (voiced by Mary Kay Bergman in season 1, episodes 1-8 only and Mona Marshall from then onwards) is a 40-year old can of whipped cream. She was overprotective of Creem in his childhood and wanted to keep him away from other children, although she seems to have moved away from this nature and become more fun-loving, and works as a nurse.

His father, Sawer (voiced by Ralf Hat) is a 39-year old pot of soured cream. He has always been proud of Creem and his achievements and opposed the sheltered lifestyle Wipt pushed on him during childhood. He works as a chef at Giovanni's, an Italian restaurant.

Siblings
His brother Dubbel (voiced by Jason O'Mara) is Creem's 24-year old double cream older brother and Trubbel's twin brother. He almost died when he fell into a river as a child, which sparked Wipt's overprotective lifestyle she pushed on Creem. He is an announcer at Eten Radio.

His sister Trubbel (voiced by Fiona Shaw) is Creem's 24-year old older sister and Dubbel's twin brother. Like her brother she is a pot of double cream. She is a successful artist, and this has caused Creem to be jealous of her due to his attempted art career failing.

Grandparents
Neither of Creem's grandparents on his mother's side were mentioned in early seasons. In the season 5 episode "Here Today, Gotes Tomorrow" they were both confirmed to have died as their gravestones were shown. His grandfather Lite lived from 1928-1999, and his grandmother Singul lived from 1927-1997.

His grandmother on his father's side, Creemcheez, is a pot of cream cheese. She is blind and has a carer. His unnamed grandfather on his father's side died at an unconfirmed date.

Others
Creem's Irish ancestry comes from his great-great-grandmother Hevi, a pot of heavy cream who was born in 1857 and spoke in an American accent like most of Eten. Due to oppression against people from Eten (and the full country, Grotin, which Eten is a part of), she was forced to disguise herself as human when she had to go to Ireland, where she had contacts, to receive a boat for the family fishing business. While in Ireland she fell in love with Irishman Patrick O'Hare, and married and had a child with him. Patrick died shortly after their child was born so Hevi took it back to Eten. She had developed an Irish accent while staying there and passed it on to her child, who passed it on throughout the generations
