Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Roscoe inDoubutsu no Mori e+.

Roscoe is a black horse with a dark gray mane and muzzle. He has red eyes with small black pupils. When he is angry, his sclerae turn yellow. His ears are purple on the inside. He has hair on the top of his head that is bright gray.

Roscoe is based on a stereotypical "dark horse." His default checkered outfit and home interior in games prior toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons indicate that he is likely based on theknight chess piece.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of thecranky personality. For more information, clickhere.

Roscoe is a cranky villager, and will appear more mature compared to other male personality types. This will make him come off as rude and belittling when talking to other villagers, including theplayer. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. He will enjoy the usualhobbies; not for competition, but for relaxing and peaceful reasons of calm and tranquility. He will find it difficult to socialize withpeppy villagers, who he will appear rude behind their backs to. In New Leaf, he may also find it difficult to get along with bothsmug andbig sister villagers, because they will say he's starting rumors about them. He will get along withsnooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with. He will, on occasion, annoy anormal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone. When he issick, he will insult the illness.
