Tilly Green is one of the main characters from the Disney Channel animated series Big City Greens. She is Cricket Green's older, kind-hearted sister who has a seemingly very quiet demeanor but a very creative imagination. She is always kind to everyone around her and always willing to help those in need, though she can be a bit controlling at times.
Appearances in Christmas specials[]
Big City Greens[]
Tilly greets the mailwoman at the beginning of "Green Christmas".
Tilly has a major role in "Green Christmas" along with Cricket. Unlike her brother, Tilly actually understands the true meaning of Christmas, which is about being kind to others. So when she does a tally of their good and bad deeds, she discovers Cricket has done so many bad ones that he might be on Santa Claus' naughty list, but he still has time to redeem himself. Throughout the episode, Tilly lets Cricket know she believes "there's good in him". After doing good deeds all over town, Cricket doesn't think that's enough and tries to consult the Santa actor at Hudkins, but thanks to his selfishness, he is pronounced naughty. Tilly tries to convince him not to give up, but he doesn't believe her and thinks "nothing he does matters", meaning if Santa thinks he's naughty, then that's just what he'll be.
Shocked at seeing her brother resort to naughty pranks for the townsfolk, Tilly tries to stop him from stealing the Big City Christmas star and mooning everyone, but this results in an argument which causes the tree to fall and destroy the ice skating rink. Tilly is then caught emerging from the tree, with the press believing she's responsible for it, pronouncing herself naughty as well. Retreating to a nearby alley, Tilly is deeply saddened, showing she's been nice every year, not for presents, but for being kind to others. She calls out Cricket in song and leaves him alone, believing all her good deeds were for nothing. When Cricket realizes Tilly was right, he meets the real Santa and selflessly wishes she were back on the nice list, and they are driven home by Bill. On Christmas morning, Tilly discovers Cricket's wish came true and is happy for him. She also discovers a gift with Cricket's name on it, meaning he's on the nice list as well because of his selfless act, and happily declares she wasn't the only one who saw the good in him before singing with her family.
Tilly meets Mr. Extras in "Virtually Christmas".
Tilly appeared again in the series' second Christmas episode, "Virtually Christmas", in which she and the rest of the Greens join in the virtual reality game Outpost Infinity after Cricket ends up snowed in at his best friend Remy Remington's mansion.
