I adore so many of the NPCs, but my absolute favourite is Celeste! She is just the kindest, loveliest, most adorable owl! Both Blathers and Celeste are such unique, fascinating characters, and Animal Crossing truly wouldn’t be the same without them!
I loved Celeste’s role of operating the Observatory in Wild World, and would love for it to come back in a future game! All of my constellations were random and probably terrible LOL, but she hyped them all up nonetheless! It was also so cute how defensive she’d get if you woke her up during the day, saying how she wasn’t asleep; she’s so me when I fall asleep watching a movie.
I love her design and her personality so much, she’s honestly a big reason why I’m so fascinated by astrology! I’d love for her to have a more prominent role in the next game, or at least one where I get to see her every day, but I’m just glad that she made it to New Horizons at all!
My second favourite NPC is Dr. Shrunk! He was actually my introduction to axolotls! I remember seeing him in Wild World and not having a single clue what animal he was supposed to be LOL; it’s so crazy remembering that, knowing how special axolotls are to me now! I can’t believe there was a time where I didn’t know what they were! I love Dr. Shrunk’s awkward, goofy personality, and how determined he is to make others laugh! I honestly miss him teaching us reactions in New Horizons. I’m still so bummed that my island’s name is literally Axolotl, and my bestest axolotl buddy is not in the game unless I scan his amiibo card!!! : (
My third favourite NPC is Wardell! I miss Wendell a lot in New Horizons, but Wardell is absolutely adorable! He may be a manatee of few words, but he makes everything he
does say count! He’s just very friend-shaped, and I love him a lot
My runner-up faves are Pascal, Rover, Phyllis, Pelly, Blathers, Sable, Mabel, Leif, Brewster, Kicks and Flick! … Like I said, I love so many of them LOL. I honestly like all of the NPCS in some capacity
except for Lyle!
