Mayor November of Feldspar is female, and Mayor August of Flint is male. I started with a female mayor, because I'm female, but when I made a second town, I wanted it to feel distinct.
I think all of my mayors have been female since most of them are based on an aspect of myself. Some of my side characters have been male since I usually use my brother or friends as inspiration for those characters.
At the very beginning, I mostly had a female mayor whenever I started a new town. However, since
for a certain time now, I prefer more to have a male mayor, since I also came up with better names
for a male character and kinda like more the looks (especially the hairstyles).
my mayor is a boy because i'm a boy. i like the dresses so everyone thinks he's a girl. i'm going to add my first girl villager soon on halloween, but she's not a mayor
