A consult regarding the new coming villagers personalities.

[PacV]

Hi.
Any thoughts on which personalities they're going to be each of them?

I really hope Cephalobot is Lazy but i'm more sure that he could be a Jock...

@BigBadButterfree mentioned in the other thread that there are 8 new villagers and 8 returning villagers, and that it would make sense that there is 1 of each type

Here are my guesses (disclaimer: I'm just speculating and could be wrong about the personality and/or gender)

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

Edit, new guesses:

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

I hope that one or more of them are sisterly, there needs to be more in that personality to choose from so bad lol.

I feel like Zoe is peppy, Marlo is smug, Chabwick is lazy, Tiansheng is a jock... Can't figure out the others yet.

edit: nvm

I think Sasha will be peppy but I really want her to be sisterly because I don’t currently have that personality on my island. If she is peppy then I think Ione will be snooty, Tiansheng will be sisterly and Shino will be normal.

Marlo looks like he‘ll be a smug and I think Quinn will have the cranky personality. I’m more torn between the other two but I’ll guess at Petri been lazy and Cephalobot been a jock.

Edit; actually Quinn is probably female so could be sisterly or snooty, which probably means Tiansheng is a male, looks like a jock villager.

 

[Snek]

I know Tiansheng is a hard one to figure out based on appearance, but it is usually a female name.

The reason Tiansheng is probably male is because the design is based on Sun Wukong, a male monkey character from the Chinese classic Journey to the West. Many Chinese names are also unisex just like many Western names can be unisex.

Ah, ok. I wasn't aware the design was based on something. I knew the name could be unisex, I was just going by statistics.

not going to lie, i really wish personalities weren't gender-locked (it's dumb) because sasha gives me big jock vibes in her jacket. she'll probably be peppy instead.

Thank you so much for everyone answers!

Do you think they're going to be available for hunt in Mystery Islands?

 

[Kg1595]

Quinn looks more like a smug to me— very sensitive and style-conscious.

I think they will be. These are Nintendo originals, not belonging to another company. They don't have to deal with potential licensing issues given time.

Hope you're right.
I'm going to save lots of Bells, TBT and NMTs just to bring Cephalobot and Shino to Zenda.

 

[Beanz]

i hope shino is a girl. if they're a girl then i can see them being normal but if they're a boy i can see them being smug. i think it's a high possibility that they are a girl tho

i don't have any idea of what personality Cephalobot would be but i just wanted to say they're my favorite out of all of the new villagers before shino and sasha, i also kind of like wardell as well. i can definitely see wardell being lazy with a possibility of being a cranky villager and niko being a jock.

I really hope that Ione isn't snooty - even though she looks like one and she'd make an amazing snooty, I already love Mint and Pecan to death, and Tasha and Blaire are great, too, plus I already have so many snooty favourites. I could maybe see her being a normal or uchi though. Petri, Shino, and Quinn (whichever of them are female; I can't tell) also look like they could be snooty. I think we'll get two of each personality (one new, one returning for each) to follow the trend with the first eight we got.

My guesses for the personalities:
Peppy: Rio and Sasha
Normal: Zoe and Ione
Snooty: Azalea and Shino
Uchi: Faith and Quinn
Lazy: Chabwick and Tiansheng
Jock: Ace and Cephalobot
Cranky: Frett and Marlo
Smug: Roswell and Petri

Frett looks more like a smug than Roswell, but since Roswell was originally a lazy (and Frett is the only former cranky) I think it's more likely he'd be smug (since Chabwick was also a lazy and seems to fit that better). Similarly, Zoe and Faith were both normal, but Faith looks more like an uchi to me than Zoe does if they switch one of them. Cephalobot and Tiansheng look more like a lazy and jock respectively, but I would hope that they wouldn't make Cephalobot the same personality as the only other male octopus (and Tiansheng looks a bit like Flip too so different personalities would distinguish them more). Although then if Cephalobot is a jock then he'll have the same personality as both of the other robot villagers.

I hope that they'll make the new villagers available via campsite/NMT/random move-in, especially since they're including the original 8 new ones in the same series, but given that you could only access the WA villagers via amiibo in New Leaf, I'm not sure. But since they didn't specifically mention anything about requiring amiibo to summon them, I think it's definitely possible that they can be obtained normally!

not going to lie, i really wish personalities weren't gender-locked (it's dumb) because sasha gives me big jock vibes in her jacket. she'll probably be peppy instead.

I thought the same thing! Her face looks peppy, but her jacket gives me jock/uchi vibes. I think she'll still be peppy because none of the other villagers look like they would be, but she'd make an interesting uchi for sure.

 

[Bcat]

I actually hope Cephalobot is a jock! I want to have all the octopi villagers on my island without repeating g personalities

 

[Croconaw]

Roswell could be jock and Frett could be lazy. I think we have a lot of lazy dogs already though, so I’m really hoping he is jock. Our only jock dog currently is Mac.

Marlo being cranky would be the best case scenario for me. He and Octavian would be like peas in a pod on my island and I hope that's the case.

 

[Sheando]

Okay, here are my guesses:


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

i was thinking about this a lot and... technically the game really doesn't mention gender at all anymore at this point does it? we (individual players) just assign genders to personalities based on the way it's worked in past games. which, granted, is the way gender works, but still...

if they gave a feminine-presenting villager a 'male' personality type or a masculine-presenting villager a 'female' personality type would you assume the character had a presentation different from their gender, or that personalities had stopped being gender-locked ?

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.
