Rocket is a big sister gorilla villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. She is the only big sister gorilla in the series. Rocket is one of five villagers dressed as a superhero, wearing a numbered helmet with a visor along with a matching shirt. The other villagers are Kid Cat, Agent S, Big Top, and Filly. Her name may relate to the spacesuit-like appearance of her costume, while her catchphrase references its racing suit-like appearance.

In New Horizons, Rocket has the fitness hobby and will wear sporty shades and lift heavy dumbbells while exercising.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Rocket from New Leaf.

Rocket is a gorilla with yellow fur and tan skin. She wears a pink outfit and helmet that are both emblazoned with a red number 4. Her helmet has white stripes and a teal visor.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of the big sister personality. For more information, click here.

Rocket has a big sister personality, a combination of the snooty, normal, and peppy personalities. Once she becomes a close friend of the player, she will act like a big sister. She may have disputes with snooty and cranky villagers since they enjoy spreading rumors.

    • Rocket appears on the album cover of "K.K. Parade."
      • The e-Reader card artwork originally displayed Jane, another gorilla villager, in place of Rocket.
