I think Ken the ninja/fighter chicken is awesome! I mean he has a katana in his house!! I like to think he's a reference to Street Fighter's Ken, even though he's not really lol
Pecan. She's... She would fit the role of the "pretty squirrel princess" Marshal was talking about. That's why she loves Pit so much. An ambiguous member of royalty with a magical amulet with a jewel from a Washington-based volcano that last erupted in 1980 would LOVE a spunky angel whose mother so happens to be a goddess with an army.
Honestly I don't even like the idea that the villagers are in "tiers".. I know some people who actually hate villagers for the sole reason that they're in the lower tiers -__- but anyway I really love Tabby, Henry, Cole, Melba, and Pudge! They're just so cute lol
Chow is my favorite villager, and he's tier 5! We have been besties since the original GC AC. He moved out of my town once, and I was a wreck, but I did the 16-villager cycle to get him back. I even sculpted his head in clay.
My favorite tier five is Bill; without a doubt. He was the first villager I talked to in Animal Crossing WW, and he was the only villager to stay until I quit the game.
