A consult regarding the new coming villagers personalities.

[MayorofMapleton]

Ya Sasha is male

 

[ayeeprill]

My best guesses:
Sasha - jock
Ione - snooty
Tianshang - cranky
Shino- peppy
Marlo- lazy
Petri- smug
Cephalobot- normal
Quinn- sisterly
(I'm not sure if Sasha, Shino, Cephalobot, and Quinn are male or female, but I took my best guess)

As for the returning villagers:
Chabwick (formerly Nobuo): stays lazy
Zoe: remains normal
Ace: personality swap to smug or cranky
Rio: either stays peppy or has a personality change to sisterly
Frett: either stays cranky or has a personality change to smug
Azalea (formerly Petunia): stays snooty
Roswell (formerly Pironkon): personality swap to jock
Faith: Personality change to either sisterly or peppy

My best guesses:
Sasha - jock
Ione - snooty
Tianshang - cranky
Shino- peppy
Marlo- lazy
Petri- smug
Cephalobot- normal (don't ask me why i went with this, lol, just a hunch)
Quinn- sisterly
(I'm not sure if Sasha, Shino, Cephalobot, and Quinn are male or female, but I took my best guess)

As for the returning villagers:
Chabwick (formerly Nobuo): stays lazy
Zoe: remains normal
Ace: personality swap to smug or cranky
Rio: either stays peppy or has a personality change to sisterly (leaning towards sisterly)
Frett: either stays cranky or has a personality change to smug
Azalea (formerly Petunia): stays snooty
Roswell (formerly Pironkon): personality swap to jock
Faith: Personality change to either sisterly or peppy (depending on what they do with rio)

 

[fairysyndrome]

the only surefire guess i've got is that Cephalobot is going to be a jock tbh, since 2/3 of the current robot villagers are jocks & it makes sense for them to go with a new personality type for an octopus since we've got so few of those

 

[moonshi]

At this point, these are instant adopt for me, regardless of their personality, when I see them on the mystery islands:

Shino - keeper
Tiansheng - keeper
Sasha
Ione

But I need a sisterly and a peppy at least.

 

[droqen]

villagers will refer to each other as she/him, so gender is very much still present in the game. their design doesn't really matter. personalities being gender-locked is dumb. i want female jocks and lazies and male normals and peppies.

aw, rip. i was just going on memory and didn't remember they used she/him when referring to each other.

yeah, their speech bubbles aren't colored anymore, but they're still programmed in with "set genders". i've been seeing some people say sasha is a boy? not sure what to make of that yet. (although it does make sense with me saying they had jock vibes lmao.) when they showed the cards, i did mention to my sister that there are some men named sasha (although i'd seen it spelled sacha in that case, i believe), but the bangs made me lean more towards them being female. ironically, i thought ione was male, whereas everyone else seems to think they're female. unless it's been confirmed outright somewhere, guess we'll have to wait and see. at least if sasha is male and a jock, i won't have to worry about finding them a space anymore. i already have one jock lmao and it's already too many, but kid cat's cute so he gets to stay.

Something I just noticed - the GC/e+ exclusives alternate between male and female in their amiibo card order; same with the original batch of 8. If the new villagers follow the same pattern, then Sasha, Tiansheng, Marlo, and Cephalobot would be male, while Ione, Shino, Petri, and Quinn would be female.

 

[Insulaire]

I assume Quinn is female, like Daria’s sister. And I would bet, based on their HHP request, that Shino is a peppy

 

[xlisapisa]

my guesses for the new villagers personalities are:

Marlo - cranky
Tiansheng - lazy
Petri - smug
Cephalobot - jock
Sasha - peppy
Quinn - normal
Ione - snooty
Shino - sisterly / uchi

Interesting observation and theory. I'll take it one farther and amuse the idea that the order also represents the personality. This would mean Sasha is a lazy male rabbit and Petri is a snooty female mouse. Cephalobot would also be Smug in this situation, pretty interesting.

I wonder if Sasha would SINK in popularity if they are actually a male. People around here are very bias for the females.

Oh wow, I hadn't noticed that but I think you're right! If we take the pattern of the original batch of 8 and apply it to the rest, the GC/e+ exclusives all retain their original personalities except Roswell who would be smug and Faith would be uchi. Then we would get the following:

Sasha - Lazy
Ione - Normal
Tiansheng - Jock
Shino - Peppy
Marlo - Cranky
Petri - Snooty
Cephalobot - Smug
Quinn - Uchi

And in general, that seems to line up with their appearances fairly well!

 

[Insulaire]

Oh wow! Sasha’s eye design seems more in line with female villagers, but you all raise a good point: like Quinn, Sasha is a non-gender specific name

I kind of love the idea of Sasha pulling one over on everyone. Not only fooling people into think he was a she, but also fooling everyone when he was actually Lazy wearing something sporty.

 

[Insulaire]

This game has a large audience who is non-gender confirming themselves, so either way Sasha may still be popular for those seeking representation either way!

 

[Sharksheep]

I think Sasha is Jock or Smug [and male]. Their name in japanese translates to Mitchell ミッチェル

I would love Shino to be Sisterly but maybe snooty?

I read that as Michelle not Mitchell. But yeah it's Mitchell when I tried looking it up. That's interesting that might be a jock rabbit.

 

[Fruitcup]

I hope Ace stays jock cause I'd kick out Jay in a heartbeat lol

 

[AccfSally]

The Rabbit could most likely be a Jock.

Someone on twitter pointed out that the rabbit (also his name is Mitchell in Japanese) could be a boy, the way the cards are in order for the villagers are: boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl etc...

Look at the pattern: https://www.bidoofcrossing.com/2021/10/all-48-new-animal-crossing-series-5.html?m=1

ironically, mitchell is also a unisex name. their french name, alix, is too. (since it seems equatable to alex, imo.) can't speak for their german name, gerrit, since i've never heard of it period, but their spanish name, ariel, sounds generally female to me. (then again, i'm not spanish, so maybe it's frequently used for men there.) very interesting.

 

[moo_nieu]

hoping for sasha to be jock and shino to be sisterly! im guessing shino will be snooty though. i feel more confident about sasha due to the jacket

edit: so it seems like a few different personalities wear that jacket so now i have no clue what personality sasha will have
