(you can tell more than one if you'd like)
you’re a lifesaver for this. this would’ve been torture otherwise — i have way too many favourites!
my list is not at all narrowed down lol, but i tried;
normal - i adore practically every single normal villager, but i think my #1 favourite has to be lolly. i had her in new leaf for a few years and she was,, the exact definition of perfect. she was my next-door neighbour
(our houses were even aligned without me having to plot reset!) and seeing her first thing every day was so lovely. she was such a sweetheart to have around, and i’m ecstatic for the day that i’ll have her in new horizons as well. :’)
honourable mentions; fauna, goldie, kiki, margie, skye and maggie.
peppy - i like quite a few of the peppies, but my main favourites are audie, sprinkle and tangy! during my first few months with new horizons, audie was the one villager that i was desperate for but was still determined to find on my own. i just couldn’t get over how stunning she is, and i loved the meaning behind her name as well. i found her in my campsite on an early morning last year and she’s still one of my all time favourites. as for tangy, she was actually the very first villager that i met when i was first introduced to animal crossing, so she’s extra special to me because of that. but i also just adore her and her design, plus i have a running joke about her with a few friends of mine, which has made me love her even more. and sprinkle, well,, she’s sprinkle lol. what’s not to love about her?
honourable mentions; merry, carmen and ruby.
snooty - i’m torn between whitney, diana and friga. whitney has been on my island for several months now and i absolutely adore her, but i also love diana with all my heart and would love to have her someday as well! however, i’ve never had friga before (i would have, had i actually remembered to save after one of my island hopping sessions), but i’m in love with her design and think the world of her! all 3 of them are amazing.
honourable mentions; freya, vivian and francine.
uchi/sisterly - i wasn’t expecting to have a hard time with narrowing down my favourite uchi/sisterly villagers lol, but my main favourites are agnes, katt, fuchsia, frita and cherry! this is mostly due to my past experiences with them and how much i love their designs, but frita is actually another villager that i’ve yet to have before! i didn’t use to care for her much, but she’s really grown on me this year and has easily become one of my favourite villagers! i’ve only had fuchsia in new horizons so far
(and still have her!), but i’d love to have the others one day, too.
honourable mentions; deirdre and tammy.
lazy - my #1 favourite is and will always be beau. i’ve loved him since before new leaf even released in NA, and while i may not be as obsessed with him now as i was back then, he‘s still extremely special to me
especially now that he can’t move out without telling me :/ and i love him a lot. <3
honourable mentions; moe, marty, zucker, lucky, stitches and raddle.
jock - rudy is the only jock that actually makes the personality bearable for me tbh LOL. don’t get me wrong, i do like some of the others, but rudy is definitely my #1. hearing
@Dunquixote ’s thoughts on him has made me love him even more, but i’ve always thought he was adorable and i love him. ^^
honourable mentions; kid cat, bam and sly.
cranky - dobie!! i’m not sure why, but the thought of an elderly cranky wolf makes my heart warm, and i loved having him on my island! i’m even tempted to invite him back one day, despite my ‘only have a villager once’ rule. :’)
honourable mentions; bruce, octavian and lobo.
smug - i’m not a fan of the smug dialogue at all, but as far as designs and previous experiences go, my #1 favourite smug villager is zell! i love his design a lot, and loved having him in new leaf as well!
honourable mentions; marshal, lopez and chadder.
