In a community-based game like Animal Crossing, who’s the actual main character? K.K. Slider? Mr. Resetti? You?

For my money, the guy in question is Rover, the little blue cat who never moves into your town. He’s the first character you ever met, if you started playing the Animal Crossing series from the first game on the Gamecube. He’s the animal that crosses your path, not settling down in the way of it.
