Idk if I quite regret it yet, but I let Yuka boot Astrid when the former showed up at my campsite. I don't think I realized I had an attachment to Astrid until that day. I agreed to let Yuka boot her in the first place because I felt like the snooty dialogue in this game just doesn't fit Astrid's aesthetic at all - she's out here talking like an old rich lady while wearing t-shirts and brightly-colored hoodie jackets, living in a playground for a house and looking like a circus performer. Yet somehow I enjoyed her. I put a lot of effort into finding cute clothes for her, so that might've been part of it. Also she's a singer. And she had this cute friendship with Sprinkle.
My only connections to Yuka are faintly nostalgic ones - had her in a WW town once - but she at least fits the dialogue, has a classy house typical of snooties, etc. I'll probably enjoy Yuka just as much in time (and she'll be like Melba's godmother lol), but I felt bad enough that I threw Astrid a farewell party at Harv's, a first for me.
Oh, that’s something I’d been wondering! So you can invite a villager to Harv’s even if they’re in boxes? I did a photoshoot last week with Tiffany in case since she’ll likely get booted sometime, but nice to have the option.
