'''Rooney''' is a [[cranky]] [[kangaroo]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}}. He first appeared in {{NL}} and has appeared in all subsequent games. Along with [[Walt]], he is one of the first male kangaroos to appear in the series, and he was the very first to be revealed.

Rooney has a general theme of boxing, indicated by his catchphrase, favorite saying, {{NL|short|nolink}} goal, and {{HHD|short}} [[Villager house|house]] request. This is in reference to the idea of a {{Wp|boxing kangaroo}}, a common national symbol of Australia. His Japanese name may reference the former world heavyweight champion boxer {{Wp|Mike Tyson}}, while his English name may reference {{Wp|Kevin Rooney (boxer)|Kevin Rooney}}, the boxing trainer who coached Tyson, though it may also be a pun on his species.

 

 

===Appearance===

[[File:Rooney NLWa.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Rooney from {{NLWa|short}}.]]

Rooney is a primarily light-blue kangaroo with a shiny black nose and a lime green underbelly. A small portion of his tail's underside is also lime green. He has semi-circular eyes with gray eyebrows, green irises and no pupils. The eyes slant downwards, making him appear stern or angry. His ears are lime green on the inside, and appear to be covered with a brown marking resembling hair, which also covers some of his snout. His feet are black, and his hands are red, each hand having a black stripe across it. These traits make it appear as though Rooney is wearing gloves and shoes.

As a cranky villager, Rooney will appear mature but unkind. He will be rude to most villagers, including the player at first. Once the player builds a friendship with Rooney, he will appear kinder to them. He will be annoyed by jock villagers for criticizing his age and fitness, and [[peppy]] villagers, whose childish, upbeat nature runs in opposition to his more sophisticated and grumpy nature. In addition, the arrogance of [[smug]] villagers will also inhibit his ability to get along with them. He can sometimes get along with [[big sister]] villagers, but the two tend to clash a lot as both are blunt and heavily opinionated. He will usually get along with [[normal]] villagers, who are kind to all personalities, but may upset them with something he says, usually an unpleasant comment concerning another villager. He will get along with most [[lazy]] villagers due to admiring their laid-back lifestyle, and [[snooty]] villagers due to both personalities being more mature and sophisticated.
