Hi! I founded this island way back in March 2020. A lot of the history just survives in vague screenshots rather than real notes I made, but later on, Iāll do my best to share what I can of that. There have been a lot of ups and downs with this island and even now there are, but that makes me more attached to it. I will make it perfectly imperfectā¦
I donāt strictly stick to a theme, but Iād like it to be very naturalistic. Not foresty, not overgrown, not ācottagecoreā but with lots of flora, things like wood, nothing too urban, some tropical bits. Any theming is more a result of me trying to keep the look/feel consistent rather than push a certain look, honestly.
Current Map and Residents:
Iām Emmy, yeahā¦
The only other residents who are permanently staying are Bettina and Tammi. Even then Iāll probably cycle everyone out to re-order the houses in the listā¦
The second player house is Guest, which I used to use for things like going on extra Kappān tours and buying more art from Redd. I haven't used that account in many months now. Iām not sure if Iām literally keeping that house as Guest. Iād like to name my extra players after characters I like, like Himeno (Chainsaw Man), or Raven (Guilty Gear).
Bettina and Tammi are some of my favorite villagers altogether, theyāre staying. Bettina is wonderful and sweet and has such a cozy theme I want to keep on my island. Tammi will take on a similar aesthetic to Audie with the island bar thing but some more arts & crafts and cushion stuff with it like sheās the decorator of the island. Also, Tammi. As you can see, last villager I found for my island. That was a looooong search, all my villager searches seemed to take hours but hers made me worry that I would run out of tickets! Ironically, I donāt have their photos since Iāve wanted to keep them around so Iāve been in no rush.
Former villagers, as far as I remember:
Iāve gone on and on about inviting new villagers, but Iām not ready for this yet. So I said no! Iāll get the amiibo I want soon, heck, Iām getting amiibo of some old villagers for the memories.
Drago has acted real close to me too, and I know this is nonsense but it feels like he knows heās going. I spent some time with him and Audie in the plaza today. They just decided to hang out together. And Raymond butted in and got the side-eye. Silly cat has done many silly things in his time here.
I will say- I forget my native flower, I think itād be tulips- but I would like to share one ancient memory. The hybrid mystery islands! I got tulip and hyacinth hybrids from them. Why they never came back Iāll never understand, those were really fun.

- Jacques- he was my first Smug. Iām very fond of him and heās the closest I think we have to a crow villager. Heās fairly hard to let go of, but ultimately what it comes down to is that I already plan on having another bird (Phoebe) and that makes it feel like Iāll be missing less. Jacques will end up like a ābackup planā where if I do change my residents again later, Iāll consider him. Hard. If you canāt tell I LOVE birds, especially corvids.
- Leonardo- I found him randomly on a Mystery Island and I thought he looked extremely cool with his jacket. I checked his house and it seemed cool too. He was my best friend and favorite for a long time but he doesnāt have much theme or purpose on this island anymore. First photo I got too. Thatās going to stay in my room. Heās been so chill.
- Raymond- ey. I found him the day before my birthday in 2020. I said I would pass him up while I was looking for Kiki but yāknow what? I found him in 20-30 tickets. Then I saw his expressions. Very cute. Liked him more for the memes. I kept him. But yeah, heās had his time to shine.
- Drago- a totally unique villager but as Iāve said elsewhere, heās kind of ābeen hereā for a long time. I like to imagine little drama and relations between my villagers, but Drago doesnāt particularly have synergy with others and Iām not sure where I would want him on my island anymore. Heās kind of had his time too. Super cute and kinda hard to let go of but I can move on.
- Tasha- same kinda thing as Raymond, but I always planned to look for her. I love the squirrels so I was sure I wanted one- It was between her and Marshal. My two favorites. Ultimately with Raymond moving on, Tasha is moving on with him. Ironically, Iām switching them out for Ankha and Marshal, two characters of the same species and personalities.
- Audie- same sort of thing as Tasha. Lobo will fill the position of wolf on my island.
- Pashmina- Very cool goat. Iām fond of the goats but moving on from her. I did always settle a bit for her instead of Reneigh, Iām not sure why, maybe I was tired of islands that day. Sheās very cool, but Iād like to invite Reneigh over her.
- Rasher- this guy is extremely cool, I love him for being āuglyā and funny and his pineapple shirt. Heās like a crotchety guy on vacation. I just have better choices once again though.
Bettina and Tammi are some of my favorite villagers altogether, theyāre staying. Bettina is wonderful and sweet and has such a cozy theme I want to keep on my island. Tammi will take on a similar aesthetic to Audie with the island bar thing but some more arts & crafts and cushion stuff with it like sheās the decorator of the island. Also, Tammi.

Former villagers, as far as I remember:
- Rex- very forgettable Lazy villager, a starter. I liked him at the start of the game, but I canāt really tell you why. I have some of his old letters and some pictures from when he was there but yeah.
- Gladys- another starter and a nice villager, but ultimately not that special to me.
- Goose- my starting Jock, once I had Leonardo it felt like Gooseās days were numbered. I know lots of people hate Goose, but I donāt get why. I think heās pretty okay.
- Sprinkles- adorable starter peppy, but ultimately felt like penguins didnāt fit my island and let her go. Honestly, I might consider her again these days, although obviously I donāt have enough space, sheās still be a nice sort ofā¦ treat vendor, someone with frozen treats, cushionsā¦ kind of like Audie again. Beautiful colors, very cute all around. I felt lucky to have her, those are some good memories.
- Agnes- my starting Sisterly. She was really hard to let go of. I canāt remember why I did but Iāll remember her fondly. I donāt really have a reason to invite her now, but yeah. I wanted to get her photo before she left, but I never did. Moving cycles are so long I didnāt want to wait on it anymore.
- Raddles- had this guy in 2020 and honestly hated him since it reminded me too much of reality, plus I donāt like how Lazy fits him. These days, I think heās sort of okay, but Iāll always feel personally iffy about him.
- Vlad- I almost forgot him, but he was a random move-in. I didnāt have him for very long. He was kinda fine, kinda funny, kinda forgettable.
- Dobie- I actually had him twice. Awesome villager, the wolves are a hit. The only one I donāt care much for is Freya who is still decent, everyone else is great. Ultimately feels too āgroundedā for my island I guess? But Iāll remember him fondly for sure. Lovely villager.
