**Rocket Andrew Raccoon** (born May 24, 1998), commonly known mononymously as **Rocket** and sometimes known as **Rocky**, is an American actor, businessman, rapper and singer-songwriter based in Matthew City, New Princeton. He is based on Rocket Raccoon from Marvel Comics' Guardians of the Galaxy. He is the leader and founder of the Animals, a team of sixteen anthropomorphic animals including himself. He is also the co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Matthewian rock band Rocket Raccoon & The Animals. As one of the imaginary best friends of Matthew Hayes alongside Red Jackson Furiouson, Simba Perry and Yoshi Sylvester-Merchant, Rocket serves as his mentor and supporter, alongside Red and Yoshi.

Rocket was born in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan in New York City, and was brought to the Upper West Side of the borough. In the summer of 2003, he moved to the South Coast of Massachusetts with his family, ultimately settling in Mattapoisett. Now a resident of Matthew City, he attended New Princeton University from 2016 to 2021, graduating with a Master's degree. 2021 was the same year he founded his team, the Animals of Matthew City. He brought Simba, Timon, Nick, Judy, Yoshi, Red, Tails, Ratchet, Tom, Rémy, Fox and Falco together during the team's founding, and added Rudolph, Jennifer and Conker as time went on.

Rocket is engaged to Lady Lylla, but he has a very special relationship with Matthew alongside Yoshi, Simba and Red. When asked on who his favorite person is, he responded: "Matthew *HAS* to be my favorite person in the world. His kindness, adoration he has for me, et cetera, makes me extremely grateful and proud to have such a good friend like him and I am *even prouder* to be his mentor and supporter, even in his dreams. I love him so much and there's nothing that can take him away from me."

Rocket used to have aquaphobia, but once he got his underwater training with Tom, he got over the fear. He decided to work on an underwater basement upon getting his infinite air supply - he filled the existing basement in the Animals' base up to the first stair with water, dove below the surface and started his work. He first worked on an underwater gym in the room by the stairs as a way for the animals to keep themselves in shape while below the water's surface. After building the gym, Rocket swam around to build the rest of the basement, including an underwater server room with waterproof servers, and a room with a shatterproof glass ceiling so any humans or animals standing in the room above it can wave to the person in that room while they swim. Upon completion, Rocket then swam to each individual room and stared as his work, before swimming back up to the door. He thought about removing the stairs except for the top step to weld to the doorway so that everyone can jump on it and open the door back to the main floor of the base when they're done doing their underwater duties.

Rocket is known for his muscular physique that resembles that of Fox, Falco and Rudolph. Like them, he always leaves the shirt out of his clothing styles as his body is a main focus. He wears jeans like most of the team, and likes to swim with them on, as long as his stomach is seen.
