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, 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) His design is well done and is also 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, where in 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 way 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 debt at any time instead of paying first.
 * 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 to suffer through Redd's scams.

Bad Qualities

 * 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.
