Villager No. 9

Villager No. 9 is a character originally appearing in Villager News, a fan made series of comedic shorts by Element Animation centered around a news show run by villagers. Villager No. 9 is the deuteragonist, reporting on events in the village alongside Villager No. 4 and eventually Villager No. 5.

Villager No. 9 resembles a typical plains villager. In spite of working for Villager News, he lacks any sort of professional overlay. The closest things he has to an identifying trait are a microphone held in his arms at almost all times, and a usually unseen tattoo on his back for identifying himself as part of Villager News.[1]

Villager No. 9 is a reporter, and so is shown to be committed to sharing information, going very in-depth recounting events.[2] During especially dangerous scenarios, he has been shown to still willingly go up close to report, such as when a creeper was grown and gained an explosive force capable of enacting the end of the world. By extension, he has been shown to be relatively brave and heroic, managing to defeat the giant creeper and feed it an antidote by himself.[3]
