― Buck, Animal Crossing: City Folk
Buck (ヴァヤシコフ, Vayashikofu) is a jock horse villager in the Animal Crossing series. His name may refer to a vaulting horse used in gymnastics, which also gets the name from a type of horse sport where a rider tries to stay on top of a horse while it is "bucking". It also refers to what a horse does to throw a rider, or, in some cases, a predator, off of its back by planting its feet to the ground and kicking really hard. His initial phrase is a play on the word "partner", which is stereotypically said to be pronounced "pardner" by southern people. So far, Buck has appeared in every game.
He is featured on the cover of K.K. Country, and he has the fitness hobby.
Characteristics
Appearance

Buck is a dark green horse with a maroon-brown mane. His muzzle and hooves are a creamy white, which resembles a donkey, as well as the shape of his tail. He has grumpy-looking eyes. He initially wears the eight-ball tee, which was changed to the sweatshirt in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.
As a jock villager, Buck is energetic and has an interest in physical fitness and activity. He often talks about exercise or sports and may brag about his physical fitness. While often friendly to the player, he may comment on their fitness. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with peppy villagers due to their similar hyper personalities and will also get along with smug villagers, while he may offend snooty villagers by critiquing their fitness and annoy cranky villagers with his hyper personality. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Buck goes to sleep at 12:30 AM and wakes up at 6:30 AM.
House
In Animal Crossing, Buck has a mix of exotic and ranch furniture. In the center, there is a ranch couch and a ranch armchair near a classic table. There is an exotic chest, antique clock, and a leather jerkin. In the west, there is an exotic screen. His wallpaper is the old brick wall, and his flooring is the opulent rug. His phonograph plays K.K. Casbah. Buck has the same house as Tasha from Animal Forest e+, only with different flooring and wallpaper. Moreover, his favorite song changes in Animal Forest e+ to My Place, which plays in subsequent installments.
In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, Buck has the same furniture as before, but with a few pieces added and gotten rid of. New pieces include the classic wardrobe, classic bookcase, and fireplace. The exotic screen is no longer in Buck's house. The phonograph plays My Place. The flooring and wallpaper are the same.
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Buck's house is different from the past games, with newer furniture. He has a relaxed decoration, somehow messy. He owns some retro furniture like an old TV. Papers and clothes can be seen scattered around his house. His phonograph plays My Place.
