Personally,I have a soft spot for Diva.She's the first uchi in New Leaf that's given me her pic.I also like Hazel,Frita,Fuchsia and Canberra.I like that most of the uchis look different than the other personalities.It gives them a bit of an edge.
I had Mira as my first uchi and she gave me 2 pics but sadly we didn't click so I had to let her go. :< also starting to like Muffy.. I thought she was creepy at first but now she seems kinda cute and so is Canberra. ;u; My favorite would have to be Frita though (currently plot resetting for her right now ugh)! I think she's cute and I love her design hehe walking fast food chain <3
Honestly, I only like Pashmina. ._. Everyone else is a bit awkward looking to me, lol! But my cousin loves Hazel as much as I do Stitches, having two on both her games. So to each their own!
I feel that while a lot of the uchis are cute (Tammy, pheobe, Mira, pashmina), none of them are ones that I would want permanently in my town. I felt the same way as you when I first looked up all the Uchi villagers, but they did grow on me once I had them in my town. For some reason they just aren't very popular, and that changes the way we view them too.. But like Jovi above me said, to each their own! Most of my favorite villagers are normal, snooty, or lazy. There aren't many cute jock villagers either IMO.
Uchi is one of my favorite personality types, and I think most of them are the type to grow on you. Personally I'm really fond of Phoebe, and Hazel is fairly cute too.
I would have to say Mira is my favorite Uchi villager. She was in my town and one day she moved out when I was time traveling and not being careful. I would seriously recommend her.
Besides, she is real cute bunny! How can you not want her!!!
