Cynicism Catalyst: Going to the city and having his dreams crushed turned him from a young Wide-Eyed Idealist into the distrusting businessman he is now.Lazy and Jock villagers theorize that he took them in off the streets out of the goodness of his heart. It's unclear what relation his assistants Tommy and Timmy are to him he says they're not related, but it's commonly thought that they're his nephews. Chaste Toons: According to himself, he's never married.By New Horizons, he has plenty of friends and acquaintances whom he's considerably kinder to than in the original games, and much kinder to the player. In New Leaf, he's mellowed out and begun opening up to others, even going out of his way to buy coffee for the Nooklings and the Able Sisters to show that he appreciates their hard work. Character Development: The first few games stress how lonely and untrusting Tom Nook is due to being swindled by his business partners in the city, and portray him as a jaded and cynical businessman.The same applies to New Horizons, though at least the first upgrade (from tent to house) is required to progress the island. You still need to finish paying off your current upgrade before you can buy another, but you can decide to keep your current size after paying it off. This lasts until New Leaf, at which point he sells upgrades in his shop much like any of the other remodeling jobs he has on hand. and if you say no, he says he's certain you won't be satisfied with a tiny house and goes ahead and upgrades it anyway. If you say yes, he goes ahead and builds it. When you've finished paying a loan off in the early games, he'll ask whether you want to make another upgrade. Big Good: He expressly takes the role of Big Good in New Horizons, leading the charge of the development of the island into a true community, with you as his top enforcer, teaching you everything you need to know, giving proper objectives to make it as great a place as possible, being an Honest Corporate Executive and Benevolent Boss, and generally proving that time and parenthood did wonders for his character.Justified because tanukis and raccoons are usually on the chunky side in real life too. As a hard-working businessman, he doesn't always show his "fun" side, but it's clear that he does have one. Big Fun: He's rather portly, and is a benevolent character who helps you set up your house in each game.Benevolent Boss: While he's commonly seen as a ruthless loan shark, it's worth noting that he charges no interest in his home loans, gives you as much time as you need to repay him, and instantly gives you a job without an interview, or without reviewing qualifications or references, in order to pay it off.But paying one's debts is important! If I must be villainized in my pursuit of teaching, then so be it! Hm, perhaps I can see the value of having a boogeyman everyone can unite against. This is not true, and not just because I am a raccoon and not a man, yes, yes. Tom Nook: I've heard some folks believe I'm a ruthless and heartless businessman.
