-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: He's nomadic, pulling his trailer/shop behind him as he wanders from town to town.

-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Profit. He collects hats, which he keeps back at his cabin in Nowhere (Parody of Somewhere, Alaska). It's how he got the nickname Hatrack, because he often wears several hats at a time. He also like meeting new people.
Dislikes: He doesn't like the heat. He abhors violence. He also hates when his antlers get stuck in doorways.
Motivation: Alpine has the wanderlust in him. He loves exploring and finding new places, people and objects to collect and trade. He wants to visit everywhere, as long as it doesn't get too hot, eh.
Strengths: He's very mellow and genuinely likes people. He never seems to get angry. Also, a life of pulling a huge trade stand through mountains and heavy snow have made him tough and unusually strong.
Weaknesses/Flaws: His natural sense of direction is extremely poor. This leads him to find himself lost and winding up in some unusual places. He also has a thick accent so can be hard to understand.
Fears: Water. He can't swim, and even if he could, he's used to freezing water. He had a bad experience with some thin ice as a calf.
Overall Persona: He's the epitome of a Gentle Giant type. He has a real enterprising attitude, but also a generous nature. Sure, he'll try to haggle you down to the bare minimum in a trade, but he'll plow your sidewalk for free. He can be very restless, never liking to settle down for too long in one place. He's adventurous and kind.
Additional Information:
Hatrack's Trade Shack is a large wooden trailer that looks like a combination of of a trailer and a log cabin. The trailer has a hitch in front with a plow attached to it, which can be raised up and locked into place around the door. The right side of the trailer his flat and opens up, the top flipping up into a sign above the trailer, and the bottom landing on the ground to create a ramp up into the trailer's shop floor. The inside is lined with cabinets and tables, and they can be filled with all sorts of knickknacks and other supplies. Whatever he's carting around that month. The wheels are wide and can be given snow chains for rougher patches. His personal affects, clothes, tent and food, are stored in a closet near the back, behind the store itself.
Note: The moose race was approved by Oopsie Daisy.
