In the series, a villager’s personality determines what they say and how they act around your town or island. It also influences how they get along with other villagers. Cranky villager🐓s, for example, are uptight and old-fashioned, and they struggle to get along with Peppy villagers.

It’s rare for a villa༺ger’s personality to change between games, but there have been a number of villagers over the years who have had a change in disposition. The majority were the result of the introduction of the Smug and Bi🐼g Sister personalities in New Leaf, but there are a few that were changed to help diversify the roster a bit more.

18 Charlise

Peppy - Big Sister

Originally appearing in the Japanese-exclusive Doubutsu no Mori e+ for the GameCube, Charlise is a bright green bear with yellow cheeks and brown bangs.🥀 When Charlise was reintroduced in New Leaf, her personality was changed from the original Peppy to the new Big Sister pers🌌onality type.

Charlise’s appearance is definitely befitting of the Big Siste♕r personality, especially considering she is taller than your character as a bear. You just know she’d give you a big sisterly bear ♕hug.

17 Curlos

Cranky - Smug

Curlos debuted in Doubutsu no Mori e+ 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:as a Cranky villager, but didn’t appear again until New Leaf, where he reappeared with a new Smug personality type. Despite this change, the Cranky perso🍎nality in the original Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+ was actually more like the Smug personality, being suave and romantic, so it’s not as big of a change as you might think.

Con𒁃sidering the similarities between the original Cranky personality and the introduction of the Smug type, it🧸 makes sense that Curlos was changed into a Smug villager instead. He even has a smug look on his face.

16 Dobie

Lazy - Cranky

Dobie, a villager who was absent since Doubutsu no Mori+, was added to New Leaf as part of the Welcome amiibo update, where he could be invited through an amiibo card. As part of this reintroduction to the series, he was changed⛦ from Lazy to Cranky🀅, which is quite the change.

Dobie has a unique appearance as the only villager who shows signs of age. His personality was likely changed to better align him with the cranky old man stere🔯otype, though if you have ever had him in yo𓂃ur town or on your island, you know he’s a softie beneath the gruff exterior.

15 Ed

Jock - Smug

Ed, a horse villager, has been in every Animal Crossing game to date; however, his personality was changed with the introduction of the Smug personality in New Leaf, when he was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:originally a Jock villager.

Smug certainly fits Ed’s appearance better than the Jock pers💮onality, as his well-kept mane suggests he cares a lot about his appearance. New Leaf further leaned into this personality change, with his favorite saying being “beauty is pain”.

14 Faith

Normal - Big Sister

Faith was introduced in Doubutsu no Mori+ as a Normal villager, but wasn’t seen in the series for almost 20 years until she returned 🦩in the 2.0 update of New Horizons. Upon her return, Faith was changed into a Big Sister villager.

With the Big Sister personality type havi❀ng the least villagers and Normal villagers being very common, this change was likely to add some variety to New Horizons’ roster. Faith’s friendly demeanor makes her a great candidate for a Big Sister.

13 Harry

Jock - Cranky

Harry the hippo originally appeared in Doubutsu no Mori e+ as a Jock villager, and though he didn’t appear in Wild World, he came back in Cityꦡ Folk with a new personality - Cranky.

He didn’t look like much of a Jock originally, as he was wearing a camo t-shirt, a🍨nd his house interior didn’t suggest he liked sports at all. New Horizons calls back to his original personality, though, as he wears a sports jersey in his poster and seems to be playing basketball in front of a crowd.

12 Huck

Lazy - Smug

In Doubutsu no Mori, Huck was a Lazy villager, having a friendly and food-oriented personality. ꦇHe☂ returned in New Leaf’s Welcome amiibo update with the Smug personality, having a gentlemanly and confident demeanor.

The Smug personality certainly fits his appearance, as Huck has always had a smug grin on his face. His half-closed eyes also give the impression that he’s looking at you smugly. In New Horizons, he also has the fitness hobby, so perhaps he’s smug about hoꦐw many more reps he can get in than you.

11 Kidd

Lazy - Smug

Originally a Lazy villager in Doubutsu no Mori e+, Ki⛄dd returned in New Leaf as a Smug villager. He also came donning a new outfit - a waistco✅at that suits the new Smug personality perfectly.

Kidd also received a revamped house in New Horizons, where his fanciful tastes are put on full display. As a Smug villager, he likely listenꦐs to music on his phonograph and thinks himself the music connoisseur of the island.

Interes🃏tingly, his e-Reader card profile for Doubutsu no Mori e+ describes Kidd as having an “overburning passion” that’s “incomprehensible to ordinary peopl𓆏e,” which is very Smug-like.

10 Leopold

Jock - Smug

Leopold is a lion villager who first appeared as a Jock villager in Doubutsu no Mori. However, he returned in New Leaf’s Welcome amiibo update as a Smug villager, perhaps to better f൲it the reference to him being the king of the jungle and wearing the Noble Shirt.

His new personality also came with a goal of being a professor and an enjoyment of debating - it’s easy to ൩picture Leopold being smug when debating a topic that he’s particularly knowledgeable about as a professor.

9 O'Hare

Cranky - Smug

O’Hare the rabbit was a Cranky villager when he was originally introduced in Doubutsu no Mori+, though when he returned to the series in New Leaf, he came in a better mood, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:n✃ow having the Smug personality instea🌠d.

O’Hare is smug about his sense of style, as his favorite saying is "It's not old; it's vintage." You ca⭕n’t blame him though, as he looks particularly adorable in the straw ha𝓰t that he always wears.
