New Villagers personalities confirmed!

[Meadows]

It was confirmed in pocket camp that these are the genders and personalities of the new upcoming villagers. Only one I'm more surprised at is Sasha and somewhat Shino. What are your thoughts?

Sasha - Male - Lazy
Ione - Female - Normal
Tiansheng - Male - Jock
Shino - Female - Peppy
Marlo - Male - Cranky
Petri - Female - Snooty
Cephalobot - Male - Smug
Quinn - Female - Sisterly

Since I already posted this in another thread I might as well post my thoughts here:

Sasha being Lazy: I mean really? I really was hoping she was a female villager. Well I am not going to be getting him since I am not keen on Lazy villagers. I have nothing against the gender, don't get me wrong, but still I always thought "Sasha" was a girls name so thats why it being a male really threw me off guard and it will take me some time to get used to.

Ione being Normal: Gotta be honest I thought she was snooty, but her being Normal is fine and I am still going to get her.

Tiansheng being Jock: Meh I knew he was jock anyways so it doesn't surprise me at all.

Shino being Peppy: Eh...I don't know about that. I thought at first it would be a smug deer but turns out its a female peppy? Not sure how I feel about this one.

Marlo being Cranky: I thought he would be a smug hamster, but I guess Cranky is okay.

Petri being Snooty: Not so keen on the mice villagers, but her personality does fit her well and thats pretty decent.

Cephalobot being Smug: Not much to say on this one, really thought it would be jock, but I guess smug is alright and this will make the 4th robot villager we've had.

Quinn being Sisterly: I am okay with this, because we really needed more sisterly villagers and I really do like Quinn and I do plan on getting her.

Honestly, Shino makes a lot of sense to me - Peppy was the one personality deer didn’t have yet, so they probably consciously decided to make a peppy deer first and design her second.

Cephalobot as smug is interesting, too - manages to fill an unused niche with both robot villagers and octopus. Neat!

I get people mainly used to US naming conventions being thrown by Sasha because it’s distinctly feminine here, but it’s definitely a unisex nickname globally so once people pointed out the Amiibo were alternating I was definitely on team ‘definitely male, not sure what personality type.’

 

[Khaelis]

I wonder if Sasha will bring out controversy in older folks because its "a female's name" because they are ignorant on how names work in other countries, etc lol

 

[nightglow]

Hmm, well I guess I will start my thoughts on the brand new villagers I didn't comment about in my other post first.

Shino I just don't care for and knew I would not have an interest in regardless of how she turned out.
Cephalobot I also just don't care for. I find the other robotic villagers more interesting visually than Cephalobot. Maybe because he is just plain metal while the others have some sort of accents directly on their metal?

I was hoping we would see the personalities before the 5th but I had no idea of the chances.

I was really hoping for Sasha to be Smug or Uchi... So I probably won't care about Sasha now.
The descriptions of the characters make me a little more curious about them such as Ione. I still think Ione's tail looks weird but perhaps it will look better in game. So I will keep my eye on her.
Tiansheng is still still an interest to me. He just looks fun as a jock.
Marlo is also still an interest. Again the descriptions of the characters are appreciated lol.
Petri I am perfectly fine with being snooty. I was hoping for snooty or uchi.
Quinn I am just not a fan of, so I was hoping that Quinn wasn't our uchi.

As for returning villagers....
It does indeed appear that the pattern of personalities are a thing. (lazy, normal, jock, peppy, cranky, snooty, smug, and uchi)
So, I am happy to see Roswell as a smug. Faith doesn't seem like an uchi to me, but either way, I'll keep my eye on Faith, as uchis are a short list of mine. Characters always seem better animated and such.


I still haven't met Reneigh.

And, does anyone know if there is any back story to Frett and Isabelle? I know Isabelle has a brother..

 

[daringred_]

i might be the only one, but half the designs don't seem to fit the personalities and seem better suited to others. makes me wonder if they designed first and assigned second. or maybe i'm just boring.

at any rate, i don't really need to bother with sasha and shino anymore. i might have them fill my rotating slots temporarily, but they're not going to stay -- especially sasha. i just can't see the design as male, and i already have four lazies in my town lmao, so it's a no from me. shino... peppies can be a bit insufferable when there's more than one, and i already have ketchup, who seems better suited to it. if i wanted a second, i'd pick villagers who also look the part -- i.e. cookie or chrissy. i'd rather stick with lolly as an eventual second normal. if shino had been snooty, i'd have taken her because i think she would've looked great as vivian's neighbour, but you can't win 'em all.

 

[CinnamonCrab]

So thrilled that Petri is a girl AND snooty!! I've been looking for a snooty for my town... Also sasha is adorable <3 I won't have him purely because I have two lazies already, but my friend is thrilled to have him in his town :]

Though I will say... I don't understand the issue with sasha being a "girl's" name or "looking like a girl", though. Sasha is Sasha, yknow? ^^;

Also super excited to finally see another octopus villager, and in one of the new personalities from new leaf too.

 

[corlee1289]

Hmm... I think I totally had these ones mis-characterised to different personalities ^^;;

I thought:
- Sasha - Peppy
- Ione - Snooty
- Tiansheng - Lazy
- Shino - Uchi
- Marlo - Smug
- Petri - Jock
- Cephalobot - Lazy
- Quinn - Female - Normal

Time to kick Toby out and have an uneven number of lazy rabbits. I kinda wish Sasha was smug since I already have Claude who is also a lazy rabbit but oh well. At least Sasha isn't peppy cause I already have Ruby and Dotty.

 

[piske]

I may be in the minority, but I am disappointed that Shino is a peppy. I know Diana exists, but Shino exudes a similar elegant energy and would have made a great snooty :' (

 

[geo-mew]

I love Sasha even more now. As a transmasc/nonbinary person, I really relate to how Sasha looks more feminine. And lazy is my favorite personality.

I had a feeling that Shino would be peppy, since her HHP housing design request is 'A Stage to Jam for Japan'. We've got a weeb on our hands

Also happy about Ceph being smug, that's a personality that doesn't have a robot villager yet IIRC.

Sasha is most definitely coming to my town but oh god, I already have Punchy and Bob! And I can't split those two besties up. I guess we're doing the triple lazy thing Q~Q

 

[your local goomy]

Sasha being lazy kinda ruined it for me, I was really hoping that he'd be a jock. I can't see such a cute villager giving all the nasty bug talk. Yeesh. And good thing I didn't like Shino to begin with, because peppy ruined that too. Overall none of these villagers really stand out to me anymore so I won't be going for any of them.

 

[moo_nieu]

i was hoping for sasha to be a jock.. i dont know if i want two lazies or if i will replace filbert. the only problem is i love filbert also did not expect shino to be peppy, and i definitely will not replace tangy for her. still really excited for all the new villagers! even if i dont want them on my island id like to decorate homes for them in the dlc

 

[Ace Marvel]

I'm conflicted, because I really want Sasha, but I have one of each personality + Julian and Colton. And I was willing to let Dom go for Sasha, but Sherb, ahhh idk.

Plot twist: we will be allowed to have more villagers with the update. (Yes I know this is not happening)

well the dlc is kinda like having extra villagers in a way.
I do wonder if they will up the villager count in a future game.. I mean what if we can have an apartment building?

At least replace unused player houses spots....

That being said, you guys remember the shot where villagers are at the beach enjoyign themselves..I think that will be on Happy Home Paradise. So we will be seeing the villagers we make houses for walk around and enjoy the place.

I would love that!

I low key hope the roommate system goes into our island, but I know it's not going to happen.

My solution might be to remove Julian and Colton, yes I know Im the biggest Coltian fan, but if I can have them living together on HHP

That would empty two spots for Sasha and Marshal.

OMG brain is working with solutions. lol

This comment is "ignorant" and makes an extremely unjust generalization about "old people".

I’d say there’s a very small chance it’s happening and wasn’t mentioned because it might be too confusing for the Direct with the other villager home changes, but we’d know right away on the 5th
