Reed is Nook’s boyfriend. He’s actually not from Ratzville, but rather Almosthell. He moved into Ratzville because he was interested in the town and its history and does a lot of research into the place for a book he’s writing about it, but he isn’t very confident that anyone will really be interested in it – but it interests him! He’s very soft spoken and sweet and gets along well with Nook and his daughters. He often helps out at the library and you can usually find him there.
