If anyone wants some visual representations/an idea of what I do with my villagers, I'm including some below!
This is Eris, she actually has many hair colour options, her main one being a a light denim blue, but here she's rocking a lavender shade. Her natural hair colour is brown though.
This is Frey, who's inspired by Fang! Him and Eris are definitely my top two bc I'm a hopeless romantic lol. They get together around 4-5 years after the start of the story. Eris meets him around the beginning of the story and the two become friends, however the two didn't start catching romantic feelings for each other until years later.
This is Skylar who mainly goes by Sky, and he's inspired from Sherb as mentioned earlier. Dude's actually pretty chill and not really anything like a lazy villager other than the fact that he loves food haha.
This is Peyton who goes by Peri, and she's based off of Piper! Her natural hair is black, but white hair is her main look to stay true to her villager counterpart. She's one of the first new friends Eris makes at the start of my story when she moves to Valentia.
And here's a personal favourite of mine, Rajan who goes by Raj, and he's based off of Raddle! He's one of Eris' first love interests, but their relationship was cut short due to him wanting to focus on university.
