Kaguya, the normal moon rabbit!
Soooo here's my entry, Kaguya!
LONG TALK ABOUT MY VILLAGER AHEAD. YOU CAN SKIP TO THE BOTTOM IF YOU WANT.
I love villagers that reference mythological creatures like Phoebe and Drago and I'd like to see more of those so my villager is just that! Kaguya is based of the moon rabbit legends found in Asian mythology stories and even Aztec legends. Kaguya herself is based mostly on the Japanese and Korean lore of the moon rabbit that say the rabbit is making mochi on the moon, which is why her catchphrase is mochi.
I'm a makeup artist and took a small course on kabuki so the markings on her are very kabuki-inspired and the colors have certain meanings (blue was often used for both melancholic characters and supernatural ones like spirits and such, purples symbolized nobility and sometimes elevation, gold is a color very rarely seen and also for very special characters, women would often wear red around their eyes etc etc). Her ears and tails are supposed to resemble clouds ^^
Her name Kaguya is a reference to the myth of moon princess Kaguya and just like how the Kaguya of the myths left her tearful loved ones behind to go back to the moon, this bunny will leave a tearful YOU with only a letter in your mailbox telling you she left town (as these animals often do DAMNIT LOBO).
She has a normal personality because in most of the myths about the moon rabbit, the rabbit selflessly sacrifices herself for someone else's well being so the normal personality type seemed the most selfless type to me.
She wears the jinbei top as that's the type of clothing worn on summer nights at home or places close to home and her birthday is in summer (on the day the sign of the moon, cancer, rises). I wanted to give her the sailor top as a geek reference to sailor moon LOL but that would have been too much. Instead, that top would be displayed in her house. She has tiny sandals on her feet.
She'd have a house with a lunar horizon and surface, star related furniture like the star globe and star projector, some exotic furniture pieces and KK Lullaby playing.
TL;DR: Kaguya the normal bunny is based of the moon rabbit legends.
