Rank Your Villagers!

[Thundawave]

10. Tex - I was forced to accept him from the campsite, and he never stops singing. Got into a fight with Plucky on his first day. He’s not even cute enough to make up for it.

9. Soleil - Moved into my open plot without permission. Not a fan of really anything about her, but at least she doesn’t actively annoy me.

8. Candi - I have no attachment to her. Almost confused her cheeks for her eyes when I first saw her, which kinda makes her look scary.

7. Nate - Again, no huge attachment. But he’s cute in a way.

6. Boots - Starter. He’s chill.

5. Plucky - My other starter. I like her a little more than Boots, and she vibes.

4. Stella - Her design is cute, and I appreciate her always watering plants lol.

3. Piper - Love her. She’s a good balance of peppy without being scarily over the top in looks and the way her unique traits are incorporated into the personality.

2. Skye - UwU she’s so cute, and I love her “airmail” catchphrase. Would be practically perfect if she could stop singing all the time.

1. Kiki - I adopted her from a friend who didn’t really want her, and I don’t regret it at all. She’s absolutely precious. <3

 

[The Hidden Owl]

9. Beardo - hate
8. Annalise - she was my ULT dreamie in NL but this time around... idk the spark went out when I saw her new exterior/interior. Nintendo ruined her aesthetic
7. Roald - was a dreamie in NL and found him on my second island trip. He's cute, but he's really just dry compared to Goose.
6. Agnes - starter, love her design and she would be great if her dialogue wasn't so repetitive and she STOPPED RUNNING OMG
5. Bruce - planning to keep! just dry rn, need more cranky personality :/
4. Goose - he's an ok design but I love how he's always in the museum. like... an educated jock <3
3. Mint - what can I say. bae
2. Stu - I LOVE STU his design is so cute, he was a surprise (starting lazy, but I didn't know who he was). I kept it a secret from myself till he moved in and I fell in love, might keep forever
1. Tammi - ok I never thought I could love a peppy, but this girl... she's just the best. her design is cute, her personality is like embodied in her design, idk she just clicks! also was the only villager to give me medicine. She changed me. I'm very tempted to keep

 

[brockbrock]

10. Reneigh - I really love her design but I find myself liking her less as time goes on and missing Phoebe more and more (I had her as my Uchi in New Leaf). She seems to get several of my villagers upset and I am always stuck with her in the late hours of the night which is when I am playing the most.

09. Rosie - Rosie is only this low on my list because I've had her in every town and this time I want to only restrict myself to one villager her species. I'm also sad that I have her with her temporary home interior, so I will let her leave to a more loving home when she is ready. Other than that I absolutely love her as always.

08. Pierce - I wasn't really happy when he randomly moved in, but he has grown on me a lot. I really love his room and his whole vibe suitably fits the jock personality.

07. Merengue - Her re-design in New Horizons is absolutely gorgeous and she's as adorable as ever. Her house is wonderful and she is so friendly. I do have to put her lower on my ranking though because a villager farther down (also a Normal) outclasses her in every way, but I am planning to use her house as a base for a café so she is definitely a welcomed addition to my island.

06. Judy - Her design is not my favorite... I've never been a huge fan of those kinds of eyes (hello Chrissy) but she is so friendly and her personality has won be over. I think of her as a glass doll... she is so fragile and precious. Not sure if I will keep her long term but since the new villagers lack Amiibo I don't plan on letting her go yet.

05. Sherb - I have never been a huge fan of the goats, but Sherb is so adorable that I've made an acceptation for him. Seriously, he is really, really cute. The renderings online of him don't do him justice in the game.

04. Audie - I was not initially impressed with her when the game first came out and wasn't planning to look for her, but I adopted her from a friend so she wouldn't be voided, and fell in love a few days after she moved in. She is kind of the lifeblood of the town.

03. Beau - One of my favorite villagers of all time. I never managed to find him in New Leaf and in New Horizons he was the first islander I found. He is also the first villager to give me his picture and the first villager to play "bury the treasure" with me. I don't even mind his starter home because it suits him so well.

02. Raymond - Yes, yes, I bought into the hype. I liked Marshal in New Leaf a lot, but Raymond is so much more than he ever was to me. He is so adorable and I have a nostalgic childhood feeling when I see him because of a cat with heterochromatic eyes I played with when I was little. Raymond is also really friendly unlike past experiences I've had with rude smugs *cough* Hippeux. I spent 500+ of my own hard earned tickets finding him on an island, and it was worth all of those horrible hours of grinding. I feel lucky every time I see him waddling around my island.

01. Tia - My favorite villager of all time. I had her Amiibo card but found on while hunting for Raymond. She is so adorable, so kind and so gentle. Her maid outfit is so cute, and I love her house. Everything about her is perfect.

 

[Braixen]

10. Penelope - she's alright but just doesn't really do much for me, I'm not a fan of the peppy personality so she gets the lowest. She also gets in fights a lot/gets mad a lot for no reason :/
9. Robin - again, just meh. I never really see her around, but she does wear the bathrobe I gave her a lot lol!
8. Rex - he's cute and always gives me DIYs!
7. Midge - I'm a sucker for pink villagers which is why she ranks higher than the others ha
6. Kitt - wasn't sure how I felt about kangaroos but I do like Kitt! she's never around though unfortunately
5. Ellie - SO cute, she was my normal move in and made me like elephants! I used to think elephants looked quite awkward but I like them quite a lot now!
4. Daisy - I keep saying this but absolutely adorable, she's always doing the cutest things and is definitely the most photogenic!
3. Tank - I'm surprised a jock is this high but he was my starter, and I quite like him! He's always out and always pings me, never gets into fights with my other villagers and waters my flowers frequently!
2. Raymond - my forced smug camper and I love him to bits! I love the new villagers as well as cats and was pleasantly surprised to find him in my camp, always gives me random things
1. Dom - baby, BABY boy.

 

[ThomasNLD]

9 Willow. I don't know, just can't....
8 Olaf. Just as bad.
7 Frita. Also pretty bad, but I do like uchis.
6 Bianca. I do like her, but her design slightly less.
5 Fauna. She is cute but a bit bland to me.
4 Groucho. I like his singing, cool design as well.
3 Skye. I like her, she looks pretty, I love wolves
2 Francine. Slightly less desirable than Chrissy, but they are nice together.
1 Chrissy. I like my little energizer bunny.

I might have forgotten one lol.

 

[CrankyPirate]

(Avery is moving in tomorrow, so I won't rank him, although he's one of the better villagers aesthetically already and we're birthday twins, so he'll probably be pretty high, maybe even my favorite soon)

Haha I also have Avery and also birthday twins! Can't wait to see how the game will handle this.

My current residents in Rogueport, a seaside pirate town:

10. Gladys - She is not among my favorites, but since she is kind of an ostrich (crane, actually, but ...) and a normal villager, I do like her. She is currently a placeholder for when I receive some Amiibo cards, but I'm not ignoring her or treating her mean, she is part of the community regardless!

9. Pietro - I love Pietro, he is creepy af, but one of my favorites from New Leaf (where I loved to hate him!) Unfortunately he doesn't fit my pirate town aesthetic so I will probably have another villager in his place thus the lower rating now.

8. Mac - I love Mac because he looks like Jason Statham. Nuff said. He is a jock so he's a bit of a simple minded fellow, but I love him for the aesthetics. I don't get how he is not a more well liked villager.

7. Sprocket - He doesn't really fit the pirate theme, but I love him regardless. He is a cyborg ostrich, what else could I ask for? His house is like a garage where your band is playing on Sundays. He is a keeper.

6. Spike - The typical tough, muscle guy of my town acting as the bouncer/warrior. He is cranky, but loves to water flowers. A peaceful giant really. One of my new favorites since he moved in (never had him before since he was an RV exclusive).

5. Jacques - I didn't like him initially, especially because smug villagers can be annoying more often than not, but warmed up to him pretty quickly. He has a little diner/DJ set in his house and never fails to make me smile with his quirky dialogues. He also looks like a sailor in his beanie.

4. Wolfgang - One of my original best friend villagers since taming him in the original AC. He was way too kind in this game from the get go, but I still appreciate him so much. He is one of my calmer villagers who love to read on the shore wearing his glasses or donning a pirate patch and making me smile.

3. Avery - My new favorite since he moved in in New Horizons. Why I never even heard about this eagle when we are even birthday twins? He is such a cranky, old bird, but I love him more and more every day. Interestingly, he looks a bit like a pigeon, but this makes me like him even more - not a huge fan of the classic eagle villagers.

2. Marina - She is the cutest villager in my town and if anything happened to her I will kill everyone on this forum and then myself. Joke aside, she was a mystery island villager and didn't pick her on the first two occasion when we met, but on the third one I gave in and love her ever since. She is such an innocent little octo, but as a seaside creature matches my town well. Love her!

1. Queenie - Not a well liked villager at all, in fact I never heard of anyone liking her. She was in my original town and in every other town ever since. She is my childhood crush and as an emu I love her even more. (Ostriches my favorite animals in general). She is noticeably kinder in NH, but she is still my all time favorite.

 

[barcorguin]

10. Audie - I'm trying to like her but she just never has anything interesting to say. She seems like a generic peppy villager to me and I have yet to form a bond with her.
9. Megan - She literally just moved in today, but she seems promising. I love her design and her home is so cute!
8. June - She is a super cute villager and I love having her around! She is one of my newer villagers and so far we get along great. She is always gifting presents as well!
7. Dom - He always puts a smile on my face. The only drawback is getting to talk to him about something else than working out xD
6. Judy - She is the island villain lmao. She implied that Bitty was poor and cheap and wrote wrong letters to Molly xD She keeps me entertained!
5. Bitty - She is the sweetest snooty villager I ever had. When I first got her I was immediately thinking of having her move out, but she is still here so I think she is here to stay!
4. Gayle - She is super sweet, always pinging me down and always seems super willing to talk (I can talk to her like 10 times in a row without her getting angry)
3. Sherb - He's your average lazy villager, but he has a super cool vibe to him. He always sits on the benches with me and is always interacting with other villagers. He also never gets offended when people say he eats way too much.
2. Molly - She is always checking up on me! She is a bookworm and very shy so I can relate to her very much. She is always soooooo nice and I love how often she is just being her cute self.
1. Patty - I never expected to fall in love with her. She is always gifting. She always sends me letters. She always makes me smile and in general, she is the life of the island. She is the one villager that wears my gifts most often and according to the nook mile thing, she was my first 'best friend'

 

[Wolfgirl786]

For My Island of Redlands
- Molly & Cookie just moved in so I don’t know them enough to rank them
8. Frank - Hes so Boring and I just don’t like him I‘m probably gonna push him out
7. Daisy - She’s cute and all but I just don’t vibe with her as much
6. Lucky - he's also kinda new So haven’t spent all that much time with him
5. Bangle - My bf has more of a love for her then I do she’s meh but cute
4. Coach - Coach is one of my first 2 villagers and he Makes me think of a gym teacher lol
3. Lopez - Lopez was my BFF in NL so he still holds a place in my heart
2. Joey - he’s just dummy cute and me and my bf just fell in love with him when he moved in
1. Audie - Ive always loved wolves (ACNL Town was named Wolfvile) I just didn’t like that most were cranky/snooty so I instantly fell in love with Audie. I got lucky and she moved in as one of my 3 - 5th villagers

 

[carackobama]

10. Beardo - the sound I made when I found him in my campsite was NOT happy, he’s always lurking around other villagers’ yards and generally being annoying as heck and I can’t wait to replace him with Merengue
9. Hazel - I don’t dislike Hazel but she’s lowkey rude and I have no attachment to her, she’s next on my list to get the boot after Beardo is gone
8. Colton - I like Colton but he’s fairly new to my island so I haven’t clicked with him yet. He’s a cutie tho!
7. Flip - I fully expected to hate Flip as I’m not a big fan of jocks and have never liked his design much but he’s grown on me so much since I got him as a starting villager. He’s really sweet and actually pretty cute and I’ll be sad when he eventually moves ;-;
6. Mallary - I wasn’t too familiar with Mallory before NH but as soon as she moved in I ended up connecting with her way more than I expected as she reminds me a lot of my mum (purple is her favourite colour, she loves gardening and even Mallary’s hair and outfit remind me of her). Because of this she’s become pretty special to me and I think I’m going to keep her for a long time <3
5. Sherb - Sherb was a random move-in and I instantly adored him. He’s so sweet and I love his design, seeing him about town always makes me smile and he’s definitely a new all-time favourite villager.
4. Cookie - this is where my ranking gets hard as honestly my top 4 are some of my favourites EVER. I have loved Cookie for so long, she was in my NL town and I adore everything about her. I was so happy to find her as one of my first island visitors and she’s never leaving my island bc she’s my pink peppy baby ;-;
3. Lolly - Lolly was another random move-in and I SCREAMED when I saw her name on the plot, I’ve never had her in a town before but have always wanted her. She’s everything I could’ve dreamed she’d be, she’s so adorable and everything she does and says melts my heart <3 I think she might be my fave normal now.
2. Diana - MY QUEEN. I found her a few days on a tour and again I screamed as she’s one of my top 4 villagers of all time and I wasn’t expecting to find her ;-; I don’t need to explain why she’s so great but I’m so happy to have her on my island as it wouldn’t be complete without my best deer gal <3 also her house? a dream
1. Tangy - y’all know there was no other choice, Tangy is my all-time favourite villager since childhood and I’m so glad I have her amiibo card so was able to bring her onto my island. Tangy has been in all my towns and she really feels like home to me, Stardust wouldn’t be complete without her <3

 

[Faery Whimsy]

10. Avery. I’m actually quite fond of him - there are just other villagers on my island that I like more!
9. Lopez. I love the deer model (even though he’s clearly an antelope), but he’s a cool guy. Plus smug villagers are my favorite!
8. Cookie. She’s so adorable with her sparkly eyes and little pink house. I’m not the biggest fan of peppies, but she’s one of the few I like.
7. Cherry. She was one of my starter villagers, and she’s just rad! I love her punk style. She loves to sing, which is adorable.
6. Flurry. She’s so smol and cuuute! I love how tiny she is and her little “:3” face!
5. Dobie. Now we’re getting into the dreamies. I love his wise, elderly appearance as well as his natural wolf color scheme. I also just love the way his eyes and eyebrows look! He’s a mixture of cool and adorable to me.
4. Willow. She is the cutest snooty villager I’ve ever seen with the cutest face, and her fluffy appearance complements her snooty personality so well!
3. Dom. He was a starter villager and eventually became irreplacable for me. Aside from Bam (who I was originally wanting as my jock), he is the cutest jock villager I’ve ever seen. It’s so cute seeing this pink little sheep talk about how much of a stronk boi he is. He sends me the best letters so far and is overall a solid bro.
2. Erik. Cutest villager ever omg. I wish I could hug him. His natural appearance, antlers and laid back looking face is very charming. I just want to curl up beside a fireplace with hot cocoa beside him.
1. Pietro. My favorite villager of all time. He’s always smiling and is so confident in his own wool despite being judged by others for his niche clown interest. He just doesn’t give a fluff and I love that. I aspire to be as jovial and carefree as him someday.

 

[cIementine]

9. sprocket - i just don't really care for him or his design
8. kyle - again, he was a random move in and i'm just not really bothered about him
7. scoot - he's a jock and talks about nothing but being a jock
6. nana - random move in who i don't really care for
5. hazel - i think she's cute but i won't be keeping her and i'm not really attached to her
4. freya - i find snooties kind of boring and freya is a bit repetitive but overall i like her design, her house and i talk to her a lot
3. audie - i found her on an island and was so glad, she's my favourite of the new villagers, i love her design and i've become quite attached to her! i'll definitely be keeping her around
2. melba - i'd never given melba much thought but when she randomly moved in i thought she was so cute. she has my favourite interior of my villagers so far and i love how cute she is
1. hornsby - hornsby pleasantly surprised me because i had no idea who he was and his name made him seem a bit ugly but when he moved in i thought he was so cute ! i love the lazy personality in this game and of all my villagers, hornsby has become my best friend.

 

[JKDOS]

I'm still moving in amiibos, it's slow due to 1 per 3 days.

Here is the current standing.

1. Punchy
2. Ankha
3. Lolly
4. Mitzi
5. Al
6. Merry
7. Hippeux
8. Agnes
9. Gala
10. Truffles

When I finish moving Amiibos in, Merry will be moved to number 10, as the bottom 4 are scheduled for eviction, and I loathe peppy.

 

[SleepyMimeko]

10. Huck - I was forced to take him even though frogs are my least favorite animals.
9. Hamphrey - I thought he was going to be rude and grumpy, but he mostly complains about his back.
8. Kid Cat - Cats are my favorites, but jock types really annoy me.
7. Zucker - He reminds me of Takoyaki He also talks about bugs alot.
6. Aurora - She's so sweet she reminds me of my grandmother.
5. Chevre - She's really kind, but more youthful than Aurora. She talks about clothes a lot.
4. Katt - My only starter still around. She loves to sing at the plaza.
3. Raymond - He's really smart, and I love his look.
2. Merry - She's so energetic and a little immature. She still dreams about being a pop star.
1. Moe - My first best friend on the island. I always give him plenty eggs and fruit to much on, and
he always compliments me on my clothing designs. I write him way more than the other villagers.
He's almost as cool as Punchy.

 

[Envy]

10. Hippeaux: He was my forced campsite villager and boy he wasn't what I was wanting. However, I just can't bring myself to actually hate any villager in Animal Crossing, and he has a nice house. But if I could easily trade him for another Smug villager, I would in a heartbeat.
9. Scoot: I don't dislike Scoot, he's just far from my first choice. He is the stereotypical Jock, but there is some charm there somehow.
8. Bertha: I know the Hippos aren't very popular, but she is cute in her own way.
7. Cherry: I feel like I've had her before. I like her personality. She was one of the sane ones during the Bunny Day nonsense. There was humor in how she talked about eggs, as opposed to how everyone else talked like they were in such amazement.
6. Cheri: She's cute, but there isn't much else to say. I do really like her house's exterior. It may just make her a permanent resident as I love what I did with it aesthetically. lol
5. Jay: Another Jock, no different from Scoot, but I prefer the appearance of Jay. Sorry Scoot. =(
4. Bea: I don't think I even knew of her before I got her in this game. She is adorable and has a cute house. I just wish I didn't have an overload of Normals in my town. It kind of spoils them all for me. =(
3. Zucker: He was the very first villager I invited, and was on the very first NMT island I went to. I didn't really care for his theme, BUT he has turned out to be unbelievably adorable.
2. Aurora: I remember first having Aurora in a GCN town and always found her appealing. In this game she has a gorgeous house and I must have those snowflake lights!
1. Beau: He's adorable. I already had Zucker when I got him, but I couldn't pass him up and I'm very glad I didn't! He makes me laugh how he makes a big deal out of outdoor furniture indoors.

 

[Daveyx0]

Oh boi, here we go.

10. Tucker: I really like his design but he is just kinda boring in my town. To the point where I don't really care.
09. Boyd: He's quite creepy looking but surprisingly nice overall. He has a construction themed house which is a bit odd.
08. Shep: He isn't too bad, but nothing special either. He has some funny dialogue though.
07. Hazel: I like her but she can be a bit blunt at times.
06. Nan: She is very nice and has a nice home, but she appears to stay home a lot.
05. Vivian: I used to be quite indifferent about her but since have had more interactions. Really liking her now.
04. Flora: Apart from her unique design, she's just always so happy!
03. Kiki: I love cats and Kiki is no exception. Just love encountering her and her fun shenanigans. She seems to walk around a lot.
02. Biff: Quite surprised I started to like him so much. He is one of my original 2 villagers and I just love having this badass around now.
01. Ankha: I mean... I feel like it's quite obvious why anyone would like Ankha and she is so nice in this game as well. Definitely a keeper.

 

[Hsn97]

I don’t really follow villager trends so I don’t really know the “tier” status of any of mine. And I only have 5 atm.

5. Marina - I mean, I’d be much happier if she’d stayed in the sea.

4. Mira - Shes a yellow super bunny. She’s cute I guess. She was my original uchi. And I do quite like her blue tail.

3. Big top - I had him in NL. Nothing special but it was nice to see him again.

2. Biff - I got this dude twice whilst resetting for a map. He was my original jock. He’s little stripy tail is adorbs.

1. Twiggy - She was my first random move in. She’s cute!

 

[Rosie Moon]

10. Reneigh
I do like her, but I forget she even exists sometimes... sorry Reneigh!!

9, 8, 7, 6, 5. Genji, Wolfgang, Bunnie, Kiki, Whitney
I tried, but I just couldn’t rank any of these villagers above or below the other! I feel like these villagers are an important asset to the town for sure, they give my little animal community more personality and diversity and I enjoy talking with all of them, but none of them have any deeper meaning to me than that.

4. Zucker
I feel a ‘little brother’ attachment to him, he’s just so precious

3. Rosie
I’m into J-pop and idols in a big way, and Rosie is a total J-pop idol. Plus she’s an adorable cat, my favourite animal! And I have a plushie of her.

2. Bob
He ranks here purely for sentimental value. Bob is my childhood friend, I’ve known him since Wild World, and he was my first ‘boyfriend’. (I was 10 don’t judge )

1. Raymond
Ok I admit it, I totally bought into all the hype, but I genuinely love this cat I haven’t been this emotionally attached to a villager since Bob back in Wild World.

 

[Mayor-of-Bliss]

10Quillson Only one I hate right now. Forced move in. Hes not as bad as when he first got her hes tolerable. But I just...dont like him.

9Marina We are penpals. Shes kind of hard to dress. I like her.

8Celia Love her pink nails and her house. Shes very cute.

7Sterling Got him as a rival for Avery. Pretty cool a knight jock? His home is on point as a jail.

6Tangy Really cute. Way better than Bubbles who I had before her. Talks about some crazy book series she loves that has 75books. I usually feel eh about peppys but shes pretty neat!


5Cyrano Really great. So serious and short. Had him in past games. Like his eyebrows they on point.

4Fushia Had her in new leaf and loved her. Have her in this game. Shes good but more than one uchi is too many. Replaced Pashama who's also amazing.

3 Avery Also a great cranky. Looks like he belongs in rito village. Got him Celia for a girlfriend and Sterling as a rival. Big fav.

2 Rex I love lazy villagers. Never really had Rex before. I really like him! Super sweet and funny. His design is cute too. Needs to lay off feeding the bugs. Had him the longest out of who's at my village.

1Naomi Super cool snooty. Always a joy to talk to. Love her design now. Always see her in town and take time to talk to her.

9. Fauna
8. Filbert

6. Hamlet
5. Bruce
4. Derwin
3. Sherb
2. Broccolo
1. Scoot

Scoot will always be my #1

 

[Loreley]

10. Stu // I don't like the lazy personality in this game too much and Stu's colours and his house are just too bright for my island.
9. Roscoe // The cranky personality is actually pretty cool in New Horizons, but I'm not a fan of horse villagers in general. Sorry Roscoe.
8. Agnes // Agnes was one of my starters and she's the villager I'm the closest with, since she's the only one who gave me a picture so far. She's too similar to Reneigh however and I prefer Reneigh's design. Since I got Agnes's picture, I'm ready to let her go.
7. Wendy // Wendy is simply okay. Not bad, not great, just okay. There are a lot of cute peppy villagers out there and I plan to get someone else.
6. O'Hare // I didn't like O'Hare when I was forced by Nook to move him in and I'm still not his greatest fan, but he's not the worst choice among the smug villagers. When he actually wears the clothes I give him, he can even look cute. His house exterior looks really nice as well.
5. Antonio // Antonio is cute. I'm not sure which jock villager I eventually want to get. As long as my dreamie Rudy doesn't suddenly show up on my island, Antonio can stay. Plus I like how his house looks.
4. Reneigh // Reneigh is the only horse villager I like. I originally planned to make Canberra my uchi villager, because Canberra reminds me so much of Ursula of Kiki's Delivery Service, but when I noticed that Reneigh looks like the painting Ursula draws in the film, I decided to give her a chance. Reneigh's house has a nice interior and as of now, she's in for a long-term stay.
3/2. Bea and Celia // Really could not decide between those two. I feel like one of them will have to leave eventually, because I still want to get Kiki. I like Bea's design more, but the exterior and interior design of Celia's house is better. They're both great.
1. Blanche // I did not expect to find one of my absolute dreamies so soon and I was overjoyed when I randomly met her on a Nook Miles island. Blanche is a cutie, her house looks great, she is staying with me for a long, long time.
