Share your Villager Lore!

[Snowifer]

What's some lore you have for your villagers?

I think that Sally likes to share her home baked goods whether they're good or not and always likes trying out new recipes.

So much lore! I know there are heated debates over which game has the best dialogue, but NL dialogue always tickles my creative thinking, all the villagers have a unique personality to me. I started compiling some of the more recent ideas I had and saved them for my (probably forever) WIP blog, so I'll just dump them here. I still have to go through all of my old screenshots, it's kind of frightening.

From oldest to most recent villagers; Junipa is my Mayor's name (not in-game, though); USA is my town's name (actually: USA[space]; which I'd like to change, but I can't think of another one, so here it is for tradition's sake... just think of it as an acronym for something else).
