πŸ’™πŸŒ” History of Avalar πŸŒ–πŸ’™

Image

In the not so distant year of 2020, our founder Roxie arrived on Avalar with nothing but the striped shirt on her back, and a vision for the future of our island.


Image

She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something told her she was going to fit right in here.

b6FhELk.jpg
qMCUWsn.jpg
jGq3f98.jpg
It wasn't long before Avalar underwent major development. Although a majority of the island's natural features remain intact to this day, parts of the cliff-side and rivers have been developed to allow for additional agricultural and residential zoning. It was decided early on that Avalar would be built around functionality, as such a road encompasses the entire island allowing easy access to every corner.

Image

In order to give the island's economy a much needed boost, Roxie's goal was to plant every fruit and flower possible, thus the flower breeding project began.

Image
Once the majority of the ever popular hybrid flowers were acquired, she started on breeding the elusive gold and blue roses.


Image

Town Square Garden is complete, paying homage to the Avalar flag.

Image

Shortly thereafter construction began on the boardwalk and residential district, Shady Oasis.

Image
Then the founding of Pear Park.


Image

The Avalar Honey Stand sets up shop, with the Midday Garden Flower shop soon to be under development as well.

Image

Bamboo Terrace gets its start, located at the heart of the island.

Image

Awaiting Kappn's Arrival, and the founding of Twilight Harbor.


Image

The first major produce to crop up on Avalar was pumpkins, at the time the agricultural zone was dedicated to them.

Image

Before the Surf Shack was established, Zucker ran his Japanese snack shop here. I remember overhearing some lazy villagers talking about how he released a giant takoyaki, but he mysteriously disappeared right after that, I wonder what ever happened to him...

Image

Image
Image

Due to Avalar's culture of cleanliness and upkeep of personal care, fleas are a rarity on the island. It wasn't until Dom, Avalar's first jock moved in that a flea was spotted. After over 1540 hours of searching, Roxie captured a flea and Avalar museum was finally complete.


Image
Image
Image
Image

In order to fund numerous island projects, Roxie played the turnip stalk market. It was a long road, but in the end it really paid off.

πŸ’™πŸŒ” Residents of Avalar πŸŒ–πŸ’™

Image

Avalar has a diverse community of creatives. Strongly held opinions throughout the town spark heated discussions on the regular. Although they don't always see eye to eye, our community is as tight knit as they come.

Diana

Image
Image

Image
Image

Fashion and glam is her game. Diana cares deeply about her personal appearance, perhaps to a fault. She's quick to judge others by appearance, but is open to having her mind changed. Diana enjoys keeping tabs on all the goings on in Avalar, and is guilty of spreading some gossip herself. She can come off as arrogant and judgemental to those who don't know her well, but get on her good side and you will have earned a friend for life.


Rod
Image
Image

Image

Rod washed up on the shores of Avalar one day after being forced to walk the plank by his former crew. He loves all things shiny and has been known to steal from unsuspecting residents when they aren't looking. Despite this, Rod is kindhearted and fiercely defends his friends. When you've earned his respect, Rod makes for a top rate first mate.


Muffy
Image
Image

Image

Muffy is a crafty sheep, she spins her own wool into yarn which she then crochets into gifts for her friends on the island. With an interest in gothic lolita fashion, Muffy makes a living selling the dresses she sews herself. She can come across as intimidating when you first meet her, but under the bold make-up and layers of lacy black ruffles resides a heart of absolute gold.


Judy
Image
Image
Image
Image

Avalar's own starry eyed bear cub. Judy is reserved around new people and can be quick to judge others. She has an interest in make-up and loves giving makeovers to anyone who will let her. Judy 's house is filled to the brim with her collection of stuffed toys, though it may not match her usual style, her all-time favorite plush is a purple bunny gifted to her by her neighbor Muffy.


Lily
Image
Image

Image

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In her Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
Lily is an introvert who stays out of any drama that stirs up on the island. She keeps to her self most of the time, reading fantasy novels in her cozy cave. She's a happy frog who just wants everyone to get along and have a good time.



Julian
Image

Image

LEi9gWF.jpg

Julian on the other hoof is a stallion with a thirst for attention. A horse who's hip on the trends, he likes to keep caught up with the day to day happenings around Avalar. Julian has an interest in astrology and will jump at the opportunity to tell you your horoscope. Julian loves himself and isn't afraid to show it. Some people can be put off by his ego stroking, but we stan a confident king.


Ione
Image
Image
Image
Image

Ione is a squirrel with her head in the stars. Obsessed with anything space, she spends much of her time live streaming sci-fi games. When she isn't doing that, she's reading about space, or gazing though her telescope. Due to her analytical nature, she and Julian have gotten into many a scuffle over the validity of astrology.


Tangy
Image
Image
Image

Image

Image

Tangy's Treats is the most popular ice cream shop on Avalar. Tangy serves up a variety of zesty frozen drinks and treats to cool you down while enjoying the warm beaches of Avalar. Tangy can be very sweet, but also bitter. She dreams of one day having her sweet treats enjoyed the world around.

Γ‰toile

Image
Image

Image

A Sweetheart through and through. Γ‰toile spends her days indulging her in her hyper-fixations. She doesn't have any one particular hobby, she has all of them! Her art supplies pile up from countless half finished projects. Jewelry making, doll houses, flower pressing, candle making, hoof polish, sweet lolita dresses and accessories. She doesn't care if others find it childish, if it's cute, or fluffy, or sparkly she has to have it!

Bianca
Image
Image

Image

Bianca is all about rainbow everything. She loves to paint and Lisa Frank is a huge inspiration for her art. Bianca has a hard time making friends, so her plushies keep her company, as well as serving as models for her paintings. She is new in town and hoping that a change in environments will bring her out of her shell, and she can finally meet some new friends.

πŸ’™πŸŒ” Resident Representative Roxie πŸŒ–πŸ’™

lf2zs0q.jpg
Representative Roxie is the generous benefactor of Avalar and the proprietor of Roxie's Odds n' Ends, which she founded in May of 2020. She is an active philanthropist, environmentalist, owner of Midday Gardens and Avalar Apiary, and co-founder of Avalar HHP. From initial capital of only 5000 Nook Miles, Representative Roxie built Avalar into the world’s top travel destination.

Image

The most magnificent property in Avalar, Roxie lives in a stunning estate home with spectacular views. Her home is positioned on the North end of the island, and sits on five beautifully manicured acres. Every element of her home was built to the highest of standards, and the finish work and detail are unrivaled.


Image

Roxie graciously invites us for a tour of her luxurious island mansion!

Image

When entering Roxie's home you are greeted with her office and trophy room. From here, Roxie manages her multiple businesses across the archipelago.

Image
With a thirst for competition, Roxie has proven herself to be a jack of all trades. Her office displays prizes from various events across the island. From Bug Offs and Fishing Tourneys, to Stamp Rallies and HHA inspections, if there is a prize to be won, Roxie aims for the gold.


Image

Upon completing any particularly vexing business dealings, Roxie need only step into her personal spa room to experience world class rest and relaxation.

Image
With her villa's stunning view of Alpine Ridge, Roxie is able to gaze upon the beauty of Avalar, and everything else just melts away.

Image

Roxie's bathroom is fully upgraded with all the luxury amenities you could want. It features a spacious shower, heated marble floors, and solid onyx Jacuzzi tub.

Image

Business that can't be managed in the office is conducted here.

Image

Roxie's kitchen is another cozy space where she likes to unwind. Its rustic styling reminds her of where she came from. She decorates her kitchen with the handcrafted art her loving, if overbearing, mother sends her monthly.

Image
When Roxie needs to refuel on caffeine, she knows she can rely on her trusty espresso maker.

Image

In her attic Roxie keeps her space memorabilia. This room is where she dreams up her plans for the future of Avalar. The brilliant lightshow fills her with determination, and reminds her to never stop aiming for the stars.

Image

Roxie's master suite resides in the base of the house in a spacious underwater viewing room.

Image
The room sports a mermaid theme with a panorama view of Avalar's gorgeous coral reefs, and features a heated pool and furnishings crafted from Avalar's finest pearlescent shells.


Image

This concludes our tour of Representative Roxie's home. Roxie is the single most important figure in the development of Avalar, her penchant for design is unmatched, and our island is honored to have her represent us.

πŸ’™πŸŒ” Avalar Cemetery πŸŒ–πŸ’™
Image

Today our tour brings us to Avalar Cemetery and the mysterious grave-keeper who resides there, Laszlo.

Image

Laszlo is a peculiar fellow, not particularly photogenic. Not much is known about this mysterious character. Outside of maintaining the cemetery grounds, he works night shifts at Avalar Tiki Bar.

Image

He's spotted us! Is he inviting us in? Well it would be downright rude to turn down so gracious an offer, perhaps we could take a quick look around inside...

Image
Oh good, Representative Roxie! How pleasant to see a familiar face. What brings you here this time of night, enjoying some blood red... tea with Laszlo?

Image

Laszlo is a collector of curiosities from across the world. His living room, for lack of a better term, is adorned with antiquities he claims to have procured himself on his many alleged "conquests".

Image

In this room there must be some intricate wiring system, as when Laszlo started to play on the piano, the unmanned instruments around the room began to float into the air, seemingly playing themselves. An amusing display, but nothing unexplainable.


Image

Laszlo refers to this room as "the kitchen". It is a dingy room with an oddly metallic smell. A creepy little doll is sat at a table with a glass sphere upon it, the doll seems to observe your every movement. He sat at the table across from the doll, and spoke in some unintelligible language and the floor burst into an explosion of light.

Image

Laszlo suddenly arose and turned to the pot of unidentifiable ick in the corner. "Soup's ON!" he declared, but we politely declined to try any.

Image

This cemetery is a lot bigger than it looks from the entrance. Where did all of these bodies come from when there's only like 15 residents on this island? Truly one of Avalar's greatest mysteries.

Image

The grave-keeper spends his days in his windowless basement suite. There's a garishly gold sarcophagus positioned in front of a black and white TV in the middle of this room.

Image

When time seems to drag on, Laszlo distracts himself by building card towers, playing his violin, and reading books from his expansive home library.

Image

Upstairs glows with an eerie purple hue, the smell emanating from the room is sickeningly sweet, like candy corn cupcakes.
As you ascend the stairs, you're greeted with the view of a massive shrine dedicated to Jack, Czar of Halloween. Candy is strewn about the floor in hopes of manifesting the ghostly gourd himself.


Image

With that, we conclude our tour of the grave-keeper's home, thank you for showing us around Laszlo!

He's certainly a unique individual, maybe he's just really into Halloween, and perhaps he's not as creepy as people say.

πŸ’™πŸŒ” Avalar Farm πŸŒ–πŸ’™
rM9Qq3P.jpg

Avalar Farm is a rustic country homestead and farmland owned and operated by a kind old man named Floyd.

Image

Floyd is a sweet old man who loves to make others smile. He doesn't seem to have any real family of his own, as such he's considered everyone's grandpa. He has a close relationship with many, if not all residents of Avalar. He's always there to listen, and asking what you want for Christmas.

GVSsUxi.jpg
Since Floyd took over the pasture, the island's crops have been diversified to include a variety of colorful produce. Avalar Farm now provides a impressive array of the world's highest quality fruits and veggies.

dIyPjFP.jpg

Floyd's highly trained assistant pigs (Waddles, left and P-Chan, right) get the first taste of any produce to make its way to Avalar. These pigs are extremely selective, this insures Avalar Farmer's Market distributes only the finest crops available.

Image

Floyd goes all out for the holidays, and transforms his home into a Christmas wonderland! The dazzling display is renowned across the archipelago.

Image

Inside his home is a magnificent toy store, Floyd's Toy Box. This store magically always seems to have just the thing your heart most desires. Lost toys, forgotten dreams, and precious memories all turn up on the shelves here, you need only to wish for them.

Image

Packed to the brim with anything tiny minds could dream of, this shop is known to gift free toys to those who don't have the means to pay for them. Needy children have all but disappeared from Avalar since Floyd's arrival, he's been so good for our community!

Image

An astounding Godzilla display which features toys from the store is exhibited in a side room, even this massive Godzilla is available for purchase, this place really has everything!


Image

Right off the shop is a nook to have a meet and greet with the jolly man himself! Have your photo taken with Santa in Floyd's professional photography studio.

Image

Single portraits and a variety of backdrops are also available. Candy is provided as incentive to sit still for little wiggly ones, and not so little wiggly ones alike.


Image
The back room features a comfy festive fall theme. Enjoy a holiday meal with your family in this spacious dining room celebrating the reapings of the harvest.

Image
On the menu, meunière sea bass, crab and mushroom gratin, and scallop chowder. For dessert, have a slice of carrot cake, and pumpkin pie, eat until you're absolutely stuffed, and then have seconds!

Image

Upstairs is Floyd's living space. Nutcrackers stand proudly atop a crackling fireplace, scattered empty shells rest upon the mantle. His home is adorned from top to bottom with streamers, garlands, and twinkling lights.

Image
There is a small tent set up in the room, in front of it books are open on the floor. Clearly old, but well taken care toys rest neatly along the wall, coated in a layer of fine dust.

Image
Above the door stockings are hung, looks like Jingle's left something inside! You might need to grab a ladder there, Mr. Floyd.

Image
Downstairs is where the real magic happens, it's Floyd's workshop! Lots of tiny hands work tirelessly to make those toys that show up under your tree on Christmas, let's all thank them by buying lots and lots of toys this season!

Image

Jingle's posters hang on the wall reminding the workers that he knows when they're sleeping, and he knows when they're awake, so they'd better be good, for goodness' sake. Thank you for a look at the inner workings of your magical toy store Mr. Floyd!
What a lovely institution Floyd has built here, creating jobs in the community and spreading holiday joy!

The region’s premier resource for hands-on experiences and conservation education. Avalar Museum offers fun, exciting ways to discover more about our world’s ocean, the insects that inhabit Avalar Archipelago, the creatures that once ruled this planet, and the ones who do now.

Image

Avalar Museum regularly acquires new works of art for our collections through donation. The growth of the museum's permanent collections through acquisitions is an essential part of the museum’s mission. Blathers, the museum's Director, insists all acquisitions are rigorously reviewed by him upon collection.

The gallery features more than 80 living specimens, housing a large collection of living arthropods; arachnids, crustaceans, millipedes, centipedes, and insects too!

Image

"Arthropods" include insects as well as non-insects such as spiders, millipedes, centipedes, and crayfish.

Image
β€œInsects” are a subdivision of arthropods, and includes only creatures with three main body parts: head, thorax and abdomen with antennae on the head.

Take a stroll in a beautiful garden while butterflies fly around you! Avalar Museum's Butterfly Garden is home to hundreds of free-flying butterflies representing species native to Avalar Archipelago. You may even be lucky enough to have a butterfly come and land on you!

Image

Before you leave, take a peek into the museum's Butterfly Lab, where zookeepers hatch and raise endangered butterflies for release into the wild. You'll learn about the butterfly's life cycle while watching new butterflies emerge from their chrysalises, and take their first flight!

Image

With rapid climate change, the health of the ocean is at stake, and the mission of the Avalar Aquarium has never been more imperative. We have a responsibility to protect and restore our marine environment, and it all starts with understanding.

Image

Avalar Museum's aquarium is dedicated to providing marine conservation education to the public. Their mission, To Study and Conserve Our Marine Environment, is reflected in everything they do, from their beautiful exhibits and exciting events, to their conservation and education programs.

Image

Currently, the collection consists of over 80 unique Fish and 40 Deep Sea Creatures. Avalar Aquarium meets the highest standards in animal care and welfare while providing a fun, safe, and educational family experience.

Tom Nook built this satellite dish in hopes of tracking pirate captain Redd. Former business partners, Redd's unsavory actions drove a rift between the two of them, leading to a bitter rivalry that lasts to this day. Tom Nook offers 100,000 NMT for information leading to Redd's arrest.

Image

Unbeknownst to Nook, Redd keeps his home port right under Tom's nose, this is Pirate's Bay.
It would be impossible to peddle his wares to any legitimate art gallery or museum, so Redd set up shop here. With countless priceless treasures to be discovered, those with a keen eye for detail should have no issues making a killing at this hidden market.
