Personality
In his spare time, Dr. Shrunk is a comedian, which leads to him telling jokes often. He is usually cheery, but because of his role in the game, his emotions fluctuate whilst he tells stories. He is a forgiving character, even cheerily explaining who he is if the player forgets. The character can be seen as ambitious, as in City Folk he realizes his dream of becoming a professional comedian, and works at the Marquee.
It is hinted at several times that he has a wife, and it appears she treats him fairly badly due to his bad jokes.
Being emotional
Emotions, once learned, can be accessed at anytime. In the chat interface, there will be icons for the emotions that the player has access to. Click on an emotion button to have the player display that emotion.
Emotions have no effect on non-player characters, although they are useful and amusing when playing online with other players. However, the player can only have up to four emotions at one time.
