New Villagers personalities confirmed!

totally agreec ngl when i say shino disappointed me. her design is STUNNING and when i saw it i was in awe. it just reeks of sophistication if that makes sense

Absolutely agree. To me she’s a classic beauty, like Whitney. I’m cringing a bit at the thought of her going on about Maglev Mike lol
 
I think it's good they made sasha lazy and shino peppy. Probably the same reason why they made Rilla the hello kitty villager instead of a cat. It would've been too perfect. I feel like this way the villagers feel more of a real character and less of a pretty, shiny prop to use as decoration.
But that's just my opinion lol

Now I'm gonna have to choose whether I want to have Cephalobot or Sasha as my last permanent resident 😭 I can't choose they're both great! Maybe I'll wait untill I know what kind of house/interior they'll have.
 
here were my initial thoughts and afterthoughts!
Initial:
Sasha- Jock or Peppy using they/them which I knew was a stretch
Ione- Snooty or Sisterly
Shino- Smug
Marlo- Cranky
Quinn- Snooty
Petri- Normal
Cephalobot- Lazy
Tiansheng- Jock
After:
Sasha- Not too sad as I don't have many favorite Lazy's and Ruby is my #1 Peppy and I love him
Ione- A bit sad she is normal but as long as she is friends with my beloved I have no problem, plus coco (another fave) is normal so shes cool
Shino- I honestly was shocked by this BUT I LOVE HER She is literally the definition of looks are deceiving and I live for that, let someone who is more mature also be hyper and upbeat and just love life
Marlo- I LOVE MY LITTLE GODFATHER SON I NEED TO BUY A NEW SWITCH TO HAVE A MOB THEME HAHA
Quinn- Surprised she is sisterly but I love that!!! Goth besties with Muffy 10/10
Petri- I am really shocked she is snooty but she is my FAVORITE mouse design so she gets a hard pass and I love this whole look for her
Cephalobot- Wasn't that shocked as the octopus category is still extremely low in the count so good for him, love his catchphrase
Tiansheng- The least shocked but still glad because my mans is killing that kill bill vibe

all in all despite the massive change in what I assumed I am overall happy because in all honesty, I love all AC villagers as their all unique and everyone has a different story with everyone's different villagers and their different islands. I really hope despite their types and genders ya'll still welcome them with open arms <3
 
I still love Sasha but I knew I would not be able to move them in either way because I'm too attached to my villagers. The only thing that could have helped is if Sasha was smug since I wouldn't feel that bad about replacing Kyle. Why are we only allowed to have 10...

ikr??? with the addition I really wish we were able to get at least 15 </3

peppys are usually the personality i'm most lax about obtaining or not but i was so ready to hunt shino to the ends of the earth and now i don't know how to feel
 
I'm pretty happy with this.

When the Sasha gender speculation was at its height, some people suggested that the previous amiibo cards had generally followed a set pattern of ordering for the personalities. As we see here, it was indeed correct.

I'm personally glad that it turned out this way because when I'd seen the pattern pointed out and that Cephalobot would be Smug, I was excited because I love the robot villagers, I love the Octopus villager model, and Smug is either my favorite or second favorite male villager personality (it was my favorite in New Leaf, but in New Horizons it might've been overtaken by Cranky). Since I was planning to add him to my island anyway, this turned out to be quite awesome for me.

I'm also happy that Petri is Snooty since I love her design and Snooty is my favorite female personality. Unfortunately she doesn't fit the theme of my island, but she's someone who I'd like to have as a resident in a future game. Tiansheng being Jock is nice too, since I'll be replacing Ribbot (sending him back to New Leaf) with Cephalobot, so Tiansheng can fit the Jock role.

I'm fairly indifferent about the rest because the above are the only ones I'm actually intending to get use out of in New Horizons. Shino might be someone I'd like to have in a future game and I'm fine with Peppy for her.

As for the whole Sasha thing, I like their design and was going to still like them regardless of if they ended up male or female. Lazy is kind of an awful personality in New Horizons with all of the bug talk, so it's a bit unfortunate that he wasn't Jock, Cranky, or Smug, but maybe Lazy won't be so bad in future installments of the franchise. Also, if this was the cost of getting Cephalobot, Petri, and Tiansheng to have the personalities I wanted, then it's fine by me since Sasha won't be living on my island anyway (like Petri, just doesn't fit the theme.)
 
it kinda threw me off guard. i'm fine with sasha; he's adorable and now i'll have 2 lazy villagers (stitches and him). for shino, i'm a lil disappointed that she's not snooty or normal. i'm considering getting ione despite the fact that she's normal and the same goes for quinn bc we def need more sisterly villagers.
 
I’m a little bit disappointed with some of the personalities mainly with Ione and Shino. I was hoping Ione-snooty and Shino-sisterly. Sasha was a unexpected too. I was expecting him to be a jock judging by his appearance. You know what they say, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
I really wanted Ione in my planned listed of villagers but her being a normal kind of ruins it because there’s too many cute normals already >.< I’ll have to reevaluate who I want to keep
 
I imagined Ione and Shino being snooty. XD I kinda thought Sasha might be a jock, but I guess I'm okay with him being lazy.
 
Quinn was the only one I was really worried about, so I'm glad that she ended up as the predictable pick out of everyone and remained Sisterly like most of us thought. I love Phoebe and Flo (Plucky not so much) so it's nice to see another sisterly bird girl in the mix<3 I love her punk rock alt design as well.
I still want to really see how all of them look in-game, but this new group of eight definitely excites me a bit more than the original eight we got when NH first launched. I really like all eight of them, especially since some of them are adding to species that have been previously underserved or underrated in my opinion (Mice, Monkeys, Octopuses, Hamsters).
That being said Quinn is my fave, and with these personality reveals, Petri, Tiansheng, Sasha, and Marlo are my other faves.
 
I am a little surprised that Sasha is a Lazy. Now if I wanted him to live on my island, I would have to replace either Bones or Beau which I am not sure if I could. I'll have to think about it.

Marlo on the other hand, I was interested in him, but now hearing that he is a cranky is making him a higher candidate to move to the island. The villager he would replace I may be okay getting rid of...

I'll just have to think...
 
Did NOA intentionally give us a more typically used female American name to throw us off?
Not cool Nintendo 🤣
Probably still getting Sasha, even though I already have wade as my extremely treasured lazy villager.
 
Ahhhh, I like Sasha a lot but I dunno if I wanna kick Punchy or Sherb out for him! I was holding out that maybe he wasn't a lazy type of villager, but that's okay. I have Punchy's amiibo card so maybe I can send my Punchy to a friend's island.

I'm still also very interested in Ione and Shino, and Quinn looks like a great sisterly villager.
 
Shino being peppy is a surprise but I 100% want her on my island now. Does anyone know if their houses' designs are online anywhere? I am hoping she has a cute Japanese house. I need a peppy villager with a Japanese-style home.

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

I mean, I'm in my 50s and know how names work in at least some other countries, lol. Lots of older people watch tennis and know Alexander Zverev's nickname is Sascha for one example. When I was young, Alexander Gudonov was well known as a famous ballet dancer and was nicknamed Sasha also.
 
the only one of these reveals im genuinely pleased with is cephalobot. i had a feeling he’d be smug when i saw that top he was wearing. it just screams “hipster dude thrifted this 90’s print sweater and now wears it to death” and i absolutely love it

on the other hand, i want to be more excited about sasha but i agree with others who have said that the lazy personality type doesn’t fit him and we already have too many adorable lazies. personally i think he would make an amazing jock. kinda sad, but it’s alright i guess. i wasn’t going to have him permanently anyway. “pic n kick” it is

shino, ahhh shino. i am still going to invite her but gosh i just really dislike peppies. maybe she’ll grow on me. i don’t know if there’s going to be any better peppy than ketchup but we’ll see.
 
Shino- it is nice having a peppy deer. I can see people who make all deer islands excited about having all personalities now.
Petri- is perfect. I like the idea of a snooty scientist.
Marlo- Love his whole aesthetic. Kind of reminds me of the mafia in the movie, Zootopia.
Quinn- looks tough and intimidating, like a good sisterly should
Sasha- is adorable, I do wish he was a jock or smug though
Ione- there are so many snooty and normal squirrels that one could just make a whole island of them
Cephalobot- i like his name, species, personality, and robot idea, but I wish he had more personality in his looks
Tiansheng- looks like a classic jock, his personality was probably the least surprising
 
Honestly, for the males, I think all the personalities work and make sense to me. Marlo was a clear-cut Cranky for me, same with Cephalobot as a Smug and Tiansheng as a Jock. With Sasha, I could've seen him being a Smug, but given they added 1 of each personality it makes sense why he ended up being a lazy, which I think fits him as well.

As for the females, eh, they don't make as much sense to me. Quinn as Sisterly was definitely an obvious one, but I can't say I saw Shino/Petri/Ione as their respective personalities. Shino feels more like a Snooty to me, Petri more of a Normal and Ione more of a Snooty or Peppy. But that's alright, it's not a huge deal at the end of the day.
