“<player name>! You can hang out all day, but I'm not going to serve you lunch, cheeeeese!”
― Chico, Animal Crossing
Chico (チューボー,Chūbō?) is a lazymousevillager in the Animal Crossing series. In the world outside of Animal Crossing, his name may be a reference to Chico Marx; this would be supported by the fact that another of the brothers' names appears in the Animal Crossing series games (Groucho the bear). Also, his name comes from the Spanish word chico, which means a male or boy. His catchphrase may relate to how mice love cheese, as well as to the wide grin on his face.
Chico is a brown mouse with a large, smiling mouth and small eyes. His catchphrase may refer to his big smile, as when people smile for taking pictures in Western culture, they are told to "say cheese". Interestingly, his catchphrase has two extra E's than the Italian catchphrase of his fellow mouse's, Penelope, because hers is "cheeese". He has pink inside his ears. His eyes are fully closed because of his immense smile, but his eyes may open while he's expressing certain emotions.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the lazy personality. For more information, click here.
As a lazy villager, Chico will be friendly and easy to get along with due to his laid back lifestyle. Like all lazy villagers, he has a love of food and relaxing. He will enjoy partaking in the usual hobbies, usually for relaxing reasons or for food, like when fishing. Chico will get along well with other villagers, but may offend or confuse jock villagers, who have a lifestyle of exercise and fitness, which conflicts with the lazy lifestyle of relaxing and food. He will get along with other lazy villagers with whom he will talk about food, comics, or superheroes. He will also get along well with normal, peppy, smug, and sisterly villagers, and occasionally cranky villagers, but may from time to time annoy snooty villagers, who disagree with the lazy lifestyle.
Chico is known for his trademark perma-smile, but it's anybody's guess how he keeps those teeth in such good shape. Chico must brush them all the time, because he has a serious fondness for sweets.
