Personality and traits
Crusty Sean has a outgoing personality and is known to be carelessly friendly. He is obsessed with wearing many of his favorite shoes all at the same time thanks to having many legs.[4] He tends to be on the shallow side and is often lost in thought about how to get a cute girlfriend.[1] His hobbies are futsal and collecting movies.[1] He has many friends[1], such asBisk thanks to their shared love of shoes[5], but values his alone time.[1] According to Marie, he is a little impulsive.[6] He likes making food, quitting Shrimp Kicks for running a food truck at the suggestion of a futsal buddy[2] and often refers to food in his Wandercrust comments, although he dislikes dipping sauces.[1]
Crusty Sean's version ofDJ Lee Fish's songLookin' Fresh emphasizes the bass and percussion, because his gear corresponds to the lower part of the body. Furthermore, the heavy beat gives it a bouncy sound, reflecting his outgoing personality.
