Character
Appearance

Personality
Kermit is not the type of person you'd expect to see as an anger management instructor. He is known for his passive-aggressive mood swings. He regularly switches between a loud, harsh voice and a soft, effeminate voice.

Biography
Kermit Joseph Crane was born to a family of cranes in rural Iowa. He spent much of his youth traveling the skies and feeding on farmers' property. One day, while he was on a farm in North Dakota, he and the other cranes fed with some geese. When the birdcatcher came, the cranes flew away, but the geese were caught.
Kermit has a nasty temper, but since he was eight years old, he wanted to teach anger management. How he got certified to do it still vexes people. He works at schools to teach anger management to kids. He changes schools like they were clothes since many schools have a hard time putting up with him. Many people claim he is not fit to be teaching anger management since he is such a drama queen.
