Underrated Villagers Appreciated Post - Post a photo of your favorite underrated villagers here

My favorite underrated villager has to be Rooney! He is just so adorable.

Ikr?

Imagine not liking any of those cuties.

I love them all to bits and can’t imagine letting them go anytime soon.
 
Not going to lie, when I found out who she was, I didn't want Alli to come to my island. I spent the first week ignoring her entirely. Then I actually talked to her and found she was actually very nice. She reminds me of one of those aunties you don't have a good first impression of, only to actually find out she's very sweet once you get to know her.

Out of all the villagers, she's the one who's given me the best gifts. She's the only one who gave me flooring as opposed to the usual sweater gift I usually obtain. So yes, she's a case of an unappreciated villager I should've given a chance from the get go.
 
The one and only moon rabbit Ruby!
Yeah she's literally the moon rabbit from folklore, and her house is supposed to be the moon.
Although I'm glad she's no terribly popular, I prefer not seeing my villagers on other islands.

oh my god, is that line of dialogue specific to Ruby? she said that exact same thing to me yesterday!
I love her too, of course. and her moon rabbit origins are why I love her so much and invited her into my galaxy-esque themed island
 
I feel like I'm one of three people in the world who don't hate Quillson.

I actually wanted to tell this little story I had when I had Quillson in my New Leaf town: My in-game character always wore an eyepatch and he would always ask if my eye was okay because I was wearing it. Even if it was really a fashion thing, he still let me know that he cared about me and was concerned about it. This actually really struck me, because when I was very young the doctor found a cataract in my eye, which required surgery to remove it and led me to always needing glasses (and also having to wear an eyepatch for a few years). I know any other villager who has the same personality as Quillson could very well say the same thing as well, but Quillson showing concern for me about something that does affect me in the real world has stuck with me to this day and he will always be one of my favorites for that reason.

This little duck really warmed up to me and I am very happy to see Quillson getting some love. To me, he really deserves it.

Apparently other Peppies have that dialouge too, although only Ruby have actually said it to me, and she've said it multiple times, and I got 3 Peppies and Ruby is my most recent one haha.
 
Gaston!

The angry little hermit bunny. Living in a falling apart shack with cardboard furniture!
In the older games he had mad scientist furniture. His plans for world domination must've failed, leaving him destitute...
I'll help you back on your feet gaston!

Gaston's house is honestly hilarious, I wasn't hyped up about having him as a random move-in but seeing his house made it all worth it.

The dialogue in this game seems to have a variable phrase where the villager will refer to their species name. So the dialogue is "Just call me Moon [Species]!" which Ruby substitutes with "rabbit". You're right though, she is based on the moon rabbit- her Japanese name is even "Luna"- so that dialogue is perfect for her.
 
For my own contribution, I would like to share a recent favorite of mine: Shep! I had never even known about his existence until I saw him as my first camper on my island and I freaking love him. A conversation with him is never boring and he's such a joy to have. I don't see him getting talked about a whole lot though, so I'm happy to share!

I've already suggested Tabby but here are some honorable mentions

Chops - The dude is wicked cool and has tons of style. I love his little mustache and his hair is fine asf

Katt - as an avid anime watcher I know how to spot best girl. Fangs are a dead giveaway almost everytime and Katt rocks them like nobodies business. She's got a beautiful fur color and her eyes are gorgeous.

Rodeo - This dude is sick! He honestly scares the hell out of me but that weirdly makes me more drawned to him.

Elvis - I'm also an avid RPG and MMO player and this dude definitely rocks the medieval king. The war scarred face along with kind hearted demeanor of a leader make for an awesome villager!

XD Ribbot is god tier for sure

He cracks me up... Since most want one of each personality type and have a jock even it they don't like them, I am surprised Ribbot is not super popular... He is easily one of my favorites and says the most hilarious things.. He also sends funny mail...

Today he sold me a knit cap and here was his response.. "FINALLY sold it"

LOL

There are so many underrated villagers that I love so this is hard! I have to say though that for all the hype for the other newbies Megan is severely underrated, she’s super cute and reminds me of build a bear!
View attachment 251153View attachment 251154she’s also incredibly sweet and waters all of my flowers 🌷
I agree!! Megan is sooooo cute, it makes me so sad to see she's like the least favourite out of all the new villagers introduced. I also love it when she pouts 🥺

I was lucky. When I went to find the first three mystery island villagers, I found Walker, Sydney and Audie back to back! Audie is currently being held by someone while I get my mess together, and Walker is sadly gone! (I miss him) But NOTHING will ever convince me to get rid of Sydney! Whenever she sings, I wanna give her a hug!
