Tom Nook (in New York City)

Tom Nook is an anthro (furry) tanuki (often mistaken for a raccoon, although he doesn't mind much) in his early 40s. He has claws instead of nails, fur instead of skin, he has no hair, etc. Tom Nook has blue eyes and brown fur. He's a somewhat chubby and pot-bellied man, but it suits him nicely. He usually wears a hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts. Despite of his age, Tom Nook looks relatively young and has high-pitched voice. Tom Nook had somewhat of a rough life. He was born in Japan and raised as an orphan (which had a great impact on him). Living his childhood without parents and in poverty, he has decided to become rich in any ways necessary, but it wasn't easy. When Tom Nook was young, ambitious and just fresh off the University of Economics, he left his home island for the big city to make himself a fortune, cutting his connections with his friends, but failed miserably, as life in the city was even more rough, so he came back to his home island to become a founder and the CEO of Nook Inc. He's managed to succeed to become the businessman on his home island and very soon he had it in his pocket. Back then Tom Nook was not a very pleasant person. Despite his care for the island as well as it's habitants, he looked down on the poor and those, who couldn't afford his housing, as even back then he chose real estate, loans and stores as his main business. Despite this he was changing for the better with time and age. Around his 30s he adopted two tanukis, Timmy and Tommy (They look like Tom Nook very much and they're even mistaken for his sons.) as his nephews. Due to Tom Nook's parenting Timmy and Tommy became very smart for their age. Tom Nook was teaching them his tricks of the trades, letting them to run his stores and they both knows ropes of their's uncle business. Tom Nook's care and love for them had helped him to mellow even more. Nowadays, Tom Nook along with Timmy and Tommy (both in their early 10s by now) has decided to try his luck in the big city again, but this time he wasn't leaving on a sad note, bidding his farewell to his friends and other island habitats, leaving the local mayor, who Tom Nook highly trusts in charge. Now, Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy live in New York City. Tom Nook knew what he was doing. Real Estate in New York City is golden and this place is perfect for his business. His model of business stays the same - selling housing with a mortgage. Despite being Japanese, Tom Nook does his best to assimilate. Despite some people see Tom Nook as an intimidating man, it's not like that (Although he will willingly embrace the idea of people thinking him as "intimidating" if it encourages them to pay off their debt). You will be on Tom Nook's good side as long as you pay him his money you owe him. Despite Tom Nook being a pragmatic and greedy man on the outside, on the inside he is kind, benevolent, helpful, empathetic, reliable, loyal, respectful, confident, hardworking and responsible man with a surprisingly generous heart, who cares for those who he's responsible for. Tom Nook donates 90 percent of his proceeds to an orphanage in New York City and three towns over, where he even has a wing named after him, as he came from the same background. Tom Nook's main tragedy is that he never was loved. Quite literally. He was never married and, most likely, never even had a girlfriend, as he was completely lost in his work. Deep inside, he wants to be loved and he needs that right person in his life. Since Tom Nook is Japanese, he can speak Japanese freely.
