Julian: 7/10. The design is a bit over-the-top, but I like him ok.
Marina: 6/10. Sort of mixed for me. The octopi fascinate me as they're rare villagers, although Marina's pink color sort of is jarring to my eyes.
Tia: 5/10. Sort of a "bleh" villager for me. Her design is cool (and it was creative on Nintendo's part to base her on a teacup), but IMO it doesn't work that well for an elephant. Also, maybe not quite as much as Marina on this end, but I do find her design also a bit jarring, and like Julian, a bit over-the-top as well. Obviously she's not one of my favorite villagers, although I don't hate her either (I don't hate many Animal Crossing villagers, by the way, but those I do I'm very passionate about)
Fauna: 8/10. I've never had her but Fauna has long since been one of my favorite villagers ever since New Leaf came out, simply based on her design. The first person I played New Leaf with was a girl from South Korea (as NL had been out in South Korea for a few months before it came to the West), and she had Fauna in her town, so there's a sense of nostalgia from 2013, haha.
Lucky: 7/10. He's a villager I like okay, but I do find it a bit morbid that it's implied he's heavily injured (to the point of looking like a mummy, for all practical purposes) in a game meant for children. (Not saying only kids can play Animal Crossing, I'd actually assume most of the Bell Tree Forums' users aren't children, but my point stands, I was literally only 9 when I first started playing AC when I got City Folk in 2009) At the same time, I'm typically very partial to the dog villagers, as I'm very much a dog person IRL, haha, plus in my very first town on CF, Butch was one of my starting villagers, which meant that the dogs sort of have a special place in my heart.
Apollo: 9/10. Around mid-late 2010, soon after I bought a used copy of the GameCube game, Apollo moved into my town, so I give him a high rating (the highest thus far of any villager given by myself) just simply based on the nostalgia along. Again, it shows my bias, but when rating villagers, it's hard not to be.
Tiffany: 7/10. Her design is something I generally like, but she gives me Cruella de Vil vibes which, as someone who isn't really a fan of Cruella de Vil, is a strike against her.
Ankha: 8/10. I'm not going to say I'm a super-fan of Egyptian stuff, but the theme, plus Ankha's color scheme, makes me a pretty big fan of her. She's literally a walking King Tut mask, haha.
Marshal: 7/10. I'm partial to him as I find his design fairly aesthetically pleasing and I had him in my New Leaf town, so there's a nostalgia factor as well that dates back to around 2013-2014. At the same time, I think he's honestly an overrated villager as he comes to mind as the most loved villager that people literally obsessed over in NL until New Horizons's release and Raymond appeared. (Interestingly, Marshal and Raymond are both smug villagers, so that may play a role with both's appeal?) Basically, I think he's a cool villager, but that's where it ends-I don't get people's obsession with him, even if Raymond has surpassed his appeal. (Which, honestly I get Raymond more, because I really like Raymond's heterochromia, but I still find him overrated from the standpoint that I wouldn't go out of my way to get him on my island no way)
