I'm glad to have replaced him with Marshall, cause I want a town of squirrels. But before him, Phil was my buddy. He's a weirdo blue ostrich with an oddball personality.
I've only had Keaton, O'Hare, and Marshal - so it's Marshal for me.
As for a second favourite... I'm not going to say Keaton because I wasn't too fond of him. I like O'Hare though. I also liked Kyle when I visited him in a dream or I may have just liked his house and Zell is pretty cool too.
I had Lopez and Shep in my town. Lopez is still there, Shep got the boot. I think he'd have worked better as lazy. I don't think I've met any other smugs so I'll say Lopez is my favourite.
Pietro's a decent smug -- makes one forgive the crazy clown a little more. And while I didn't hold onto Hippeux, he had some funny conversations with my other villagers. I found it a little adorable when the trying-to-be-handsome-and-suave hippo was hitting on the attractive and sassy villager females.
