Personality[]

Ranking Gestures[]

In Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Treasure for the 3DS, Fondue too is one of the characters who is ranked at the end of a rhythm game. Due to him being an animal, however, he cannot speak and he expresses his emotions through actions. Below is a brief description of the gestures that he makes after getting each rank (from best to worst).

Rank A: Fondue howls to the sky and wags his tail in sheer happiness.

Rank B: He first scratches his right ear, then barks happily.

Rank C: He stretches his body forward and back, then barks mildly.

Rank D: He looks at the pavement and groans in sadness. Beginning from this rank, Fondue no longer wags his tail.

Rank E: He opens his mouth and jumps twice as if he is attempting to bite more constables and redeem himself to Phantom R. After the two jumps, he falls onto the pavement on his four paws.
