I still have my starter villagers from March 2020: Goose and Katt. When I first walked out of the airport I thought, "I'm getting rid of these two ASAP." Now they're two of my favourite villagers of all time.
Katt; she was my starter villager along with Rory. She really grew on me over time and I like having her house being a starter house and not a sad looking guitar studio so she aint going anywhere.
My oldest villager is Phoebe, who's been there since Isle Xane's founding. She was the starting "big sister" that the game chose, but I seem to like her. It would be better to have her proper house interior, but I think she'll be staying for now.
She's like the other villager the game forced me to get, Klaus; Both add variety to my island that wouldn't be there if they were all "cute girls" like Gabi, Chrissy, and the like.
Marina! She was on the first island I visited and I fell in love with her immediately. Still has the DIY house but I don't hate it. I literally wrote her a letter that said "DON'T EVER LEAVE ME." Lol
Reneigh was one of my starters and I'll probably always keep her. Sprinkle was one of my first 5 and while I'd love her to have her original house I don't want to let her go either.
Tank is my oldest. He was my starter jock. I love rhinos so I’ve kept him around. He recently gave me his photo so I might let him leave if he asks. I haven’t decided
Bangle is my oldest villager. Although she is not a started villager, she came aboard early on. She has been a great villager but she is now the next in line to go. I hope to replace her with Bianca
Bill is one of my starters, and he's still there. Zucker and Fauna were the first villagers to move in, and they're still there. Beyond that, I think Bruce and Blanche were also in my first ten villagers. So 5/10 are the originals.
hazel, dom were my two starters. beau moved in shortly after. i did move hazel out, but only so i could get her real house instead of the starter house. she's still here! i plan to do the same for dom once his amiibo card is available. beau's starter house fits him well so i'm not going to move him back in. i plan to keep dom and beau for sure, i love hazel but i'm not sure if she fits my town theme...
