Marlo

Marlo's name and color scheme may be a reference to Hollywood actor Marlon Brando, who played Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Keeping with the mafia theme, his Japanese name, "Donchan", may come from "don" (as in, a mafia don) and the honorific "chan" (used as a term of endearment).

His catchphrase, "gabeesh" is Southern Italian slang for "capiche", meaning "do you understand?".

Marlo has the education hobby.

Appearance[]

Marlo is a black and white hamster. He has short whiskers on either side of his mouth and short, expressive eyebrows, giving him a smug look. The insides of his ears are a yellow-gray olive color. The tips of his paws are black, and his pupils are black. He wears small, black, circular sunglasses. Marlo wears a black Doublet.

Personality

Cranky villagers will usually appear in a grouchy or agitated mood. When talking to the player, cranky villagers tend to become angry if the player disagrees with them or refuses to do a favor. Like all cranky villagers, Marlo will be invested in his hobby and will often challenge the player to various competitions. He will easily get along with jock, snooty, and other cranky villagers, and occasionally lazy and normal villagers as well. However, he will find it hard to socialize with peppy villagers, as they will seem overstimulated or immature.
