Additionally, Murphy will be disgusted by the lavish, arrogant lifestyles of smug and snooty villagers, the former of which he claims are "mucking around". Sisterly (Uchi) villagers, the female counterpart of his personality, conflict with him the most: Both personalities are stubborn and opinionated, and should they have differing opinions, the two will enter a fierce argument.
