He will find it difficult to socialize with peppy villagers, who he will appear to dislike, and mention this behind their backs, often planting rumors. He will get along with normal and snooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when criticizing something or someone. When he is sick, he will insult the illness.

House
He listens to "K.K. Metal" in his house and starts out with the Modern Series. His house is quite empty. There are three golf bags all lined up, a gold stereo, the Modern bed, and the Modern desk. The wall is the shanty wall and the carpet is old board flooring. In New Leaf, his house could be said to somewhat resemble a tin can, owing to its corrugated iron exterior.
