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.
Appearance
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]
Personality
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]
However, he has also been shown to be very quick to assume and dismissive, which has led to a citizen becoming traumatized of pillagers and several villagers dying to a creaking, after insisting that a villager had been lying about it. Worse than that, after coming to terms with the situation, he would try to take credit for the situation, even claiming to have slain the monster.
Biography
In VILLAGER (and Pillager?) NEWS, Villager No. 9 reports on an incident wherein a villager, a white-robed librarian, is presumed to be reluctant to get the Village & Pillage update. In reality, the librarian is planning to update and tries to explain himself to the crowd, but his words fall on deaf ears as his fellow citizens demand to know why he is against the update. In an attempt to change his mind, the villagers show the librarian a video explaining the new features offered by the update, but instead of enticing him, it has the opposite effect, and the librarian, feeling uncomfortable about the prospect of raids, begins to rethink his decision to get the update. Oblivious to this, Villager No. 9 determines that the librarian is satisfied with the update and segues back to the studio.
In Monster in the Woods, Villager No. 9 would lead an investigative troop into a forest to debunk claims by Villager No. 15, which he was ultimately very skeptical of. Inside the woods, more and more villagers began to slowly disappear, leaving behind their drops. However, No. 9 refused to believe there was no monster, up to saying there was a wave of hysteria as the other villagers realized they were being culled by the creaking. As the pressure builds, however, he and the cameraman ultimately decide to flee, only returning after escaping from the forest. Now, he fully believes in the story of the creaking, taking credit for the discovery. Infuriated by this, Villager No. 15 would place a creaking heart inside of a nearby pale oak.
At some point, Villager No. 9 ran an investigation into the Overworld springing to life overnight. Concerned by the appearance of furry cows, gray chickens, and leaf litter, he attempted to warn the premises of the apparent danger. He then attempts to place the blame on a wandering trader who is dancing nearby, and cautions his fellow citizens to not join in. His warnings go unheard, and soon the whole village is caught up in the dance. Villager No. 9 himself ends up falling victim to the catchy tune, and his fate is left unknown.
