Tom Nook (Animal Crossing)

Tom Nook (たぬきち Tanukichi?, a Tanuki) is one of the special characters in the Animal Crossing games, he plays an important role in all of the games.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Much like Isabelle, Timmy and Tommy, and Cyrus and Reese, Able Sisters, Goldie, etc., his character is one of the most popular characters in Animal Crossing and he was also once the face of the series at one point too.
 * 2) Also much like the other Animal Crossing characters, his design is well done and pretty cute to look at.
 * 3) Despite many players considering him a greedy and corrupt guy, he does actually care about others. As shown in Happy Home Designer, wherein one of his dialogues, he mentions that he donates 90 percent of his proceeds to an orphanage three towns over, where he even has a wing named after him.
 * 4) As the game series progressed, Nook has started to become much nicer to the players and villagers, which is more notable in New Horizons as he gives the playable characters and the villagers a deserted island getaway package.
 * 5) He allows the player to stay in a tent or house before paying off their debt which can be done at any time. He also charges no interest.
 * 6) His character has a lot of tragic and bittersweet stories.
 * 7) *He once had a friendship with Sable, but they sadly couldn't keep their friendship intact due to Sable not following Tom to the city.
 * 8) *He and Redd both have a dark history with each other due to him causing Nook to suffer through what "terrible pitfalls" when he went to the city by making Nook's hometown suffer through Redd's scams.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) In the older games, he's a bit of a jerk to the playable character, as he often chastises them for not having enough money or for when they are late for his part-time job. He was even considered a villain by Nintendo Power.
