The mayor in my main town is just me; I love the villagers too much to not get to befriend them myself. My side characters usually have characters to help drive the creative direction of their houses; one is a mermaid because I like a lot of the aquatic pieces but never can find a place for them in my house, and she's going the have a little science lab in the basement that she's using to keep herself human. My other character is a clown because I'm going for a fun sort of boardwalk carnival vibe in the town (and so I don't have to just sell all the balloon furniture). I'm also planning out a second town with a sort of spooky theme, with a witch and an alien and then a vampire as the mayor.
I was always a little intimidated by themed towns because a lot of people pull them off well, but I've been trying not to get so hung up about comparing myself to other towns (even the really really REALLY good ones lmao)
