Katrina's Crystal Ball

Katrina:
Ah, you have come in search of spiritual guidance. Come, sit my child. What? No? You're not here for spiritual guidance? Oh… Well, in that case, please emerge yourself, cleanse your soul, and we shall begin the communication progress. Huh? You're not here to play with my magic Ouija board either?
Hmmmm… Then what are you here for? Ah-ha! I see it now, ah… yes… The smoke in my mythical crystal ball is clearing, ah… I see… I see… Ah! You want to look into the past of the Animal Crossing townsfolk! That's it, that's it, that's it!
Who shall we start with?
What, you want to see into MY past?
Uh-uh, no way. (Smiles) That is classified information, available to me, and the spirits only.
Tom Nook
Thomas Nook II, born of father Thomas Nook I, was a healthy baby raccoon kit at birth. Weighing in at a healthy fifteen ounces, as a child, Tom was happy. His father worked in a small general store, selling hand stitched clothing, hand-made wooden furniture, and hand-grown vegetables. Thomas Nook I was a very hardworking raccoon, and as a result, didn't get much time to spend with his son. His mother had passed away not long after Tom's birth - which laid down a heavy depressing rock upon Thomas' furry raccoon head.
Tom spent most of his childhood days wandering around the fields of the town, chasing butterflies, and attempting (99 percent of the time, failing) to catch fish from the stream. But quite often, he was bored.
For five years, Tom grew up with his quiet lifestyle, and with no T.V - another result of his father's high poverty, he spent his time carving pictures onto large fallen tree branches, and whittling.
One day, at the age of five, Tom came across the house of Blathers the owl. Blathers had been sitting under an orange tree, his beak buried in a thick book. Blathers was only a few months older than Tom, and the book's title (War and Peace) suggested an abnormal intelligence.
Tom had been playing with a makeshift ball, which he'd made from clay. He accidentally kicked it high into the tree, knocking several oranges down, onto Blathers' head.
Blathers sighed, and put down his book. He stared at Tom, who was stood there shyly, not sure of what to say. He wiped the mushy fruit out of his feathers, and smiled.
From then on, Blathers, Tom and K.K. Slider - (although previously known by his real name: Totakeke) had been great friends.
They stuck together through grade school and through high school too.
During their peaceful childhood, they'd spend countless hours down by the stream; fishing with one of Blathers' father's many rods. Tom and Totakeke would sit and fish, while Blathers would constantly have his beak stuck in a book.
Tom had always been jealous of the wealth of his two friends' families. Blathers' father was a scientist, working at the Faraway museum, and his mother was a successful writer. This kept them in the lap of luxury. Blathers usually spent most of his allowance on books and fountain pens - not on candy, however.
Totakeke's father was a musician; he too had reasonable success, bringing in thousands of bells a week, due to his impressive CD sales. His mother worked as a secretary somewhere within a nearby town.
Tom's father still owned his quaint little store, not making a great deal of money from it however. Tom ran around in his old faded navy shorts during summer, and was bustled up in a huge furry coat during winter.
Totakeke always showed up in the latest gear, sporting a new pair of shorts almost every fortnight. Blathers didn't care much for appearances, but he still wore a different tie every day.
Whilst growing up, Tom became overweight, and was bullied harshly throughout his earlier years. He turned when he got to sixth grade however, and would punch anyone stupid enough to look at him the wrong way. His weight made him a formidable foe. He'd not been too bright, and during second and third grade, had been placed into a remedial class. This had been humiliating for a start - but he finally pulled himself back up and reverted back to his previous class by fourth grade.
When he left school, Tom decided to leave town, just as Totakeke and Blathers were doing. They all actually, ended up in the same town. Blathers becoming a curator of a posh museum, his little sister Celeste working on the second floor observatory, and Totakeke worked as a busker, traveling from town to town - but coming back to see his two old friends as often as possible.
Tom ended up opening a tiny little store, exactly like his father. Tom however, wasn't as soft as his old dad, and reeled in thousands of bells a week. He finally upgraded his store, and turned into a greedy tyrant landlord - pilfering innocent human beings of their hard earned bells.
He currently owns Nookington's department store, and has taken on minimalist-paid work from his two younger nephews, Timmy and Tommy - purely because they want to save their money to buy themselves a Nintendo Wii.
