(THEORY) Nan is Chevre's Shadow?

It's a kitchen island, actually. It's the black variant of it.
It can be bought from Nook's Cranny (after it's upgraded) for 170k bells.

This just made me so sad I don't have Nan's real house I bought her amiibo on ebay to upgrade her. ;_;

Nan is my favorite villager ever, and I'm almost positive she and Chevre are based off the Japanese children's song mentioned previously. I've never had Chevre before, but after seeing her photo in Nan's house I think I'll definitely move her in even if just for a little while.

I actually noticed that in new leaf, Chevre is the eldest of 5 kids, and nan is the 4th of 5 kids. coincidence much?
this is honestly a super neat theory! while i wouldn’t necessarily say that nan is chèvre’s shadow, i definitely feel like their relationship is akin to chrissy and francine’s where they’re both different but still obviously connected in some way. i’m learning more towards them being sisters but i definitely wouldn’t be opposed to them being girlfriends or something of the sort. ^^

whether it's the shadow, goat mail, or something else, this is a super cool detail for them to have included! they clearly have some kind of close relationship and I love the thought that must've gone into this
I never saw this theory! It's actually super cool and considering how Nintendo is with their references, it would make total sense
In my headcanon though, they're just girlfriends~
Yes, YES! This is really the only reason Nan and Chevre have photos of each other. Like in the children's story, both goats were black and white. Its not uncommon for the devs to make characters related to each other thematically. Francine and Chrissy are great examples, both are inspired by Japanese idols. Knox and Sterling are inspired by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, respectively. I'm glad the devs are bringing more lore into the game. Hopefully we get more villagers with connections to each other for a more immersive experience.

I love this idea! And I love the origination of the Japanese influence behind these two villagers!

I have Chevre and noticed the picture of Nan on her wall. Had no idea that Nan's house was the reverse. I now feel like I must have Nan as well as Chevre.

I love Nan, she was my first ever villager that moved in in my Wild world town years ago. I have her in City folk, New Leaf and NH. I don’t have her fully upgraded house in NH as she was my first villager. But seeing her layout makes me want to move her to my other island so she can have the house she deserves!

This is really neat! It kind of makes me want them both on my island now! I wish more villagers had connections like this.
