===Appearance===
 
===Appearance===
Ricky is an orange and yellow squirrel who constantly looks angry, thanks to his eyebrows. Ricky has a big red/pink nose which makes him look kind of cute. He has a weird-looking mouth that looks like a smile, but at the same time makes him look grumpy. This may add to his cranky personality. Ricky has a white and blue stripe starting from his forehead and going down his different-colored, swirly, bushy tail. He has pink inside his stubby ears.

Ricky is a cranky villager and will appear grumpy and grouchy towards the player at first, and for quite a while afterwards, and may take a while to lighten up and grow more friendly to the player. Like other cranky villagers, even giving him medicine won't cheer him up and is very self-centered. He will admire [[lazy]] villagers due to their laid-back attitude. He will not admire peppy villagers.
