How close to real life is your in-game villager avatar?

[Mairmalade]

My character is representative of me in terms of hair, eye, and skin color but I wasn’t actively trying to recreate myself in-game. My hair is extremely curly and there’s no hair style that comes close to matching.

I‘ve zero fashion sense irl and my NH character sports a lot of outfits (and fun hats!) I wouldn’t even know how to wear. It’s fun to mix and match without worrying they look out of place.

It's somewhat close, my gender, skin color and hair length is the same.
But my eye color and hair color is not even similar to me.

The funny part? I once took my glasses off at a trade (in game ofc) as a girl said she would like to catalog them but I just said she could have them and that I could reorder but I honestly felt like my character looked so odd? And that’s funny to me cause that’s how I feel in real life, if I don’t have my glasses on I don’t feel like me! It’s so strange

This is also me! I wear glasses in real life if i wasn't wearing them I'd feel odd. Same with my character although he isn't modelled on anyone necessarily just feels like he needs glasses... although not all the weird ones I keep being gifted by my villagers! lol.

Wowsers, I totally never expected this thread to take off like this. It's been so great to see so many different people's opinions and perspectives on their villager character. Maybe one day I will model one on me... who knows!

She's basically me with a better fashion sense

When I started playing and made my character for the first time, we were very similar. Hair, skin color... Now, apart from the skin that I did not change my character is now a totally different person !
because we can't be similar as my new hair color isn't in the game why is there no dark purple

I try to make her as close to me as possible!

Aside from gender, completely different. If only pastel hair colors were so easy to obtain and maintain.

Only major difference for me is eye color; my character has green eyes & irl they're brown

 

[Leo King]

My character looks pretty close to me, the only difference being that my hair is curly, and my character's is straight

Not close at all because my head isn't squishy and round irl, like my villagers keep saying.
