Sprinkle! I was gonna replace her with Flora down the road but I have grown to love Sprinkle so much. She's my starter Peppy and has the cute pastel wooden interior. I like to think that she's a warmer or moderate climate penguin since she doesn't live in a freezer for a house. I gave her a shaved ice maker and a fan in her side yard though because being round and fluffy can make you feel pretty stuffy I bet lol.
I initially had no desire to have him on my island. So when I found him on a mystery tour, I figured I’d just take him in order to pass him along to someone else who wants him, since he’s in such high demand. But then I got attached...
Trouble is, it really messes up my plans for which villagers I wanted to have on my island, since Raymond had not been part of the lineup.
Canberra, sort of! I've never had a problem with her but she was one of my first two Islanders and I had planned for her to eventually move out. Now I'm way too attached and can't let her go.
I somewhat started liking Bertha even though I accidentally invited her to my island for the starter house. I was slightly upset when she moved in, but after a while I got used to her and she grew on me. She didn’t give me her picture, but I got her poster when she moved out. I was a bit sad when she was in boxes, but I got a decent replacement I may like.
I was disappointed with Lionel as my first campsite visitor, but despite several chances to move him out, he's still around. He's grown on me... I'll probably replace him soon, but will be a bit sad. Felt the same with all my villagers... even Muffy and Moose, who were my starters.
I guess Muffy to an extent. She was my starting uchi villager, and at first I wasn't very fond of her. But eventually I grew to like her and she still lives on my island. I'm not sure as to what I will do with her in the future just yet, but so far I've really warmed up to her.
For me it was Graham. When I first saw him I thought he was like George Costanza in hamster form. I did eventually let him leave but much later than I originally planned.
I actually had a hard time letting go of Sprinkle. I found her on a NMT island when I first started and really enjoyed having her around. I eventually let her leave because I needed to move Ketchup in, but there were a few times where I contemplated letting that adorable penguin stay.
It was Freckles for me. I was disappointed when I saw her name on a plot, but I very quickly came to love her. I'm not keeping her forever just because there are so many peppies I like, but I'll be sad to see her go.
Anicotti, the peppy, green mouse. Never liked her in previous games. Randomly got her as my "starter" peppy and dang it, I'm starting to kinda, sorta like her. Still want her to move, tho. Maybe. Argh.
For me it was Dom. He was my starter jock and when I saw him, I was disappointed and my plan was to let him leave as soon as he asked. I really wanted Rudy as my jock. Time passes by and Dom manages to win me over and has now become my all time fave villager---crazy I know LOL. Now I can't imagine my island without him. He gets along with everyone and is so funny and cute. Don't ever leave me Dom! XD
Also, out of all the new villagers introduced for New Horizons, Raymond caught my eye. I liked his design a lot and wanted him because he reminds me of the character Kuro from Haikyuu (one of my all time fave animes). Then later on, there was so much hype around him that it made me lose interest. I didn't want him anymore. However, a couple of days ago I found him on a mystery island and decided to take him since he showed up. Now...I feel like..I am starting to like him way more than I thought I would. I can see why he is popular. Is he worth all the hype? Probably not to the point where people are forking up so much nmts and scamming people for him. But yes, he does deserve to be in the upper tiers XD
Coach was my starter jock villager. I didn't like him at first but he grew on me quickly.
I created my island in March and he's still on my island.
I'll probably let him move out when he asks now that I got his photo.
I have his amiibo card now, so I can always invite him back if I miss him.
Invited Pippy and Biskit from islands to fill spots and just absolutely fell in love with both of them. Pippy is staying forever, and while I let Biskit move out, I will be bringing him back with his Amiibo soon!
Kyle was the one for me. When I first met him I didn't like his color scheme or outfit at all, but he grew on me soo fast. Hes one of my favorite and I will never let him leave I love his voice and the things he says always cracks me up. He's perfect <3
It was Curlos for me. He was my forced camper. I was never a huge fan of sheep villagers until now. But this thick-browed latino sheep grew on me and I miss him.
Goose. He was a starter villager and was doomed to be replaced by a cuter villager. However, he grew on me a lot and I realized when he pinged me to leave, I couldn't let him go. He's been the MVP of my town - in the beginning gifted me a lot of things, talked to other villagers a lot, etc. He's pretty basic looking but I gifted him a muscle shirt and he's good to go.
