Is there a villager you thought you liked, but just couldn't connect with?

This has happened for a lot of villagers for me. Bree was the first it happened with in New Horizons. I love her design, but her snooty personality just didn't click with me. She'd call me lovely and say cheeseball all in the same breath and the vibes just weren't it

Hazel and Mira were the same way, but i can't quite put my finger on why tbh.
 
Sherb! He will forever be one of the cutest in my eyes, I just didn’t find him enough to keep, I have 3 other lazies that I can’t kick out c:
 
Audie is one that I couldn't click with, she kept on working out ALL the time and she was extremely annoying unlike Sprinkle whom is much better than Audie despite both being peppy villagers, as a result of this Audie was booted for Sprinkle

Second is Merengue which was surprising because I loved her in NL but something about her changed the way I felt about her so I let her go and replaced her with Tia and I don't regret my decision.
 
In new leaf definitely. I tried so hard for fauna and marshal and then could not connect with them at all.

I have marshal again because visually hes the only smug I really love for my forest themed town, and I love him so much this time.

The big surprise for me is Tammy. I adored her in my NL town, she was easily my best friend. But this game I'm yet to click with her fully. It's getting there, but I don't see her being loved more than Grizzly, Maple, or Ruby who I cannot get enough of in NH. I might end up replacing her with Audie if I don't end up falling for her, because the peppys in this game are hilarious.
 
I sort of feel this way about Fuchsia. I really like her design and personality, but I had her on my island and she rarely ever left her house. I even moved her home to see if perhaps the location was the problem, but I never saw her interact with any of the other villagers. I felt like she didn't want to be there. I let her leave when she asked, but it wasn't because I didn't like her.

Sometimes I sort of forget she was ever on my island. Like I wonder what it would be like to have two uchi villagers and then I remember "Oh. I did."
That is so weird? I have Fuchsia on my island and shes always dancing or exercising in my town square. Her home is close to RS though?
 
judy unfortunately :( i was so excited to get judy as a random move in because cute pastel bear cub with anime eyes! what's not to like! but i didn't end up vibing with her as much as i thought i would
 
Dotty and Goldie. I usually randomly find villagers I end up clicking with that I didn't expect to rather than go chasing villagers for their design. It ends up being more natural.
 
Kinda happening to me with Julian. His house is great but I just can't really connect to him. Will let him go when he asks to move. He was a random campsite move-in that wanted to replace Sprocket so I let him.
 
Raymond. What kind of psychopath makes his home his office? And since they basically made Smug male Peppy now, it just didn't seem to match.
 
fauna for me. got her as an original 5 and she's just... so bleh. she's working out nonstop on my island and i really hate talking to her.
 
That is so weird? I have Fuchsia on my island and shes always dancing or exercising in my town square. Her home is close to RS though?

Yeah, so weird! I think the location her house was originally located was cursed. It was accessible with a ramp and a bridge nearby, but I never saw her leave her house there. Not to mention, the villager who lived there before her asked to leave two days after moving in. It was weird. I moved her house to a different location, but the furthest I would ever see her go from her home was just a few spaces and she never interacted with any of the other villagers.
 
I really wanted to like Hazel. I had her on my dream list before the game released. And I was surprised when she randomly showed up in my campsite. But her house made me change the way I looked at her. I used to think of her as artsy for whatever reason but her house is sporty. Started to think of her as some kind of gym teacher and that kinda ruined her for me.
She is still cute to me but I let her move out.
 
Sherb might be shaping up to be this for me.

When I saw pics of Sherb I thought he was pretty cute and planned to get him. I wasn't having much luck so I decided to use an amiibo to get Prince as a placeholder lazy, but I totally fell in love once he joined my town, he's adorable. Like a week later, a camper showed up. Obviously Sherb. I invited him in, the first villager he asked to replace was Prince and I thought "why not? I can always get Prince back later with the amiibo". But now I really miss Prince. The only thing that Sherb has on him is that his exterior matches my town a bit better, but I prefer Prince in every other way. Honestly, the only thing keeping me from trading Sherb for Prince again is the lack of Sherb amiibo, meaning once he's gone I can't easily get him back. I do like him alright, just not as much as I like Prince.
 
I'm still desperately trying to connect with Audie. She was a random move in for my first peppy. I like her but she isn't one of those villagers who makes me happy when I see her walking about the town. I'm tempted to get rid of her but I know I won't be able to get her back if I regret it.
 
Agent S :( She was one of my favorites in Wild World, which is probably exactly the problem. 1: WW was 15 years ago, and I have grown a lot since that. 2: in WW, the personalities (or at least their dialogue) were much more... complicated/different. I just got her in my town and the peppy personality in NH does not suit her.. at all. Plus her fitness obsession is not vibing with me at all. I am going to give it a while, but it may be I have to let her go at some point.

Now I am considering ever wanting old favorites back :') though with Whitney, who is a similar case for me, I do not have these problems so much.
 
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one !

I didn't manage to get close to O'Hare, Ursula, Raymond (wasn't a dreamie but hey I didn't understand the hype about it) and unfortunately lately one of my most coveted dreamie : Pietro 😢.
I love his design and his house but I don't know why : his personality and his conversations don't make him endearing to me. I am so upset about that.

Don't know what to do ! Wait a bit but well ... 😭
