Tell me about the tier five villagers that you love!

[FelicityShadow]

I have a few that I love (Melba and Grizzly are my unofficial couple) but I obviously haven't experienced every single tier 5 villager. I want to narrow down the list and look at the villagers you guys have come to love. Tell me why you like the villager and any cool experiences. Oh and tell me what personality and species they are. If you can include a pic that would be awesome but you don't have to.

Here's a list from Hound00med's sticky thread on villager popularity.

5?? Alright well I'll start writing some paragraphs ee.o

 

[HopeForHyrule]

Hamphrey! He was one of my move-ins after my starting five of Balamb, but it was love at first sight. I love the crankies and hamsters are one of my favorite species in the game (other than rabbits). He's such a sweetheart and I could never let him move.

Another total love of one is Cole. I love black bunnies, and he has the cutest buck teeth! XD

 

[Anblick]

A tonnnn of my villagers are tier 5 and I love them all! I've posted about her before but one that stands out to me is Canberra, I love her so much. Her angry eyebrows make me so super happy. XD I'm also kinda glad that it seems like nobody but me likes her, I feel like my 'unpopular' villagers are kind of unique in a way because way fewer people have/want them.


I also love Peck and Goose because they're both jocks and types of birds so I feel like they have this best friend/greatest rival dynamic going on between the 2 of them. I imagine they spend most of their time trying to prove who is stronger/faster/more TOTALLY RIPPED.

 

[asuka]

purrl. HOW IS SHE TIER 5? ;_; she's the best....
nate, pinky, tutu, pippy, and broccolo!
they're all so cute ;_; <3

 

[Demeter_Deme]

Now, this is the sort of thread I'd like to see!
...That said, most of my favorites who were tier 5 when I got them are in Tier 4 now, so congrats to me for predicting tiny trends!

I do have three villagers, one I've been considering, one I've not entirely warmed up to as I'd like but would still reccomend, and one I loved and lost, who remain in tier 5.

Lately, I've been thinking about Velma. Even among unpopular goats, she seems a bit neglected -- I even heard her directly badmouthed! And that somehow makes me like her more... Not, like, that I want her because she's unpopular, but because I feel sympathetic -- I just find myself going "Oh, poor darling, someone needs to love you." She looks a little out-of-place among snooties, which almost suggests all sorts of stories, and gives her a certain unusual glamour due to how a snooty carries herself. Also, I think her glasses and her little goat-face with the :3 mouth is precious. Just adorable. (Also, she's got a little beard, and I do think that's pretty cute)


Baabara. I love the contrast of her dark face and limbs with her super cool light-blue wool that feels like some sort of dreamy cloud. Her horns are a cute color, too. Sheep are precious to begin with, and I don't mind her eyes-always-shut mode. I don't feel that close to the one I have in my town, so I will be trying something new next chance I get, but I'm definitely a Baabara fan in my own way.

And finally (Well, hardly 'finally,' but close enough), Cyrano. I had him in my town, and he was one of my best buddies. I was heartbroken when he moved out, and I themed the whole area around his house in memorian. He's got a cute freckly nose, and his tail has this really beautiful effect where you see all those fading and overlapping shades of blue on it. Also, he has giant and severe -- but not actually angry, as such, just sort of harsh -- eyebrows. He could be a softie with them. I believe.

 

[Vizionari]

Savannah is really underrated in my opinion, she's pretty unique and she's staying in Starpass permanently

 

[Anblick]

I know this feeling SO WELL. There's a comic of somebody finding Canberra in their campsite and being like HELL NO SO UGLY and then Canberra cries at the end, noooo! (Link because it's a large image: http://imgur.com/a/nJJHS ) She already lived in my town when I first saw it but I would have been even more inclined to have her move in afterwards because I felt so bad. Also p sure I sent her a present just to show that I think she's great. ;-;

 

[FelicityShadow]

Now, this is the sort of thread I'd like to see!

Haha thank you! I'm glad you enjoy this topic.

5?? Alright well I'll start writing some paragraphs ee.o

Trust me I love the paragraphs.

Thanks for sharing your responses everyone! I love reading the experiences you have with these underrated villagers.

Anblick that comic definitely inspired a whole story plot in my mind.

I want to make a story about ACNL that pokes fun at the tier system and the void. That's why I asked about cool tier five villagers. Don't know if I'll ever have time but I can hope.

 

[Anblick]

Oooh yes, I would love to see such a comic! I have often thought I'm pretty glad I didn't know about tiers when I first got my game, I think it might have influenced me to see what villagers other people liked the best instead of me forming my own opinions in a total vacuum.

 

[Sansa]

I adore Margie. She's a normal elephant and she is so cute, sweet, and adorable. Pretty sure she was one of the original nine villagers so I've had her for over two years now. If Tia weren't a physically cuter elephant, Margie would probably have a higher Tier.

Scoot is another Tier 5 I love but more so because he's ridiculous. He's a jock duck and looks like he has undies on his head, it's really a hockey helmet.

 

[FelicityShadow]

I can't draw but I could make a fanfiction or something of the sort. Hopefully my writing skills are at least decent. It's been awhile since I wrote something for fun. Like I said though, it'll be a long while before that happens because of college stuff, planning the story, and just trying to sort out villagers. This thread will be helpful to reference quick tier fives to look at.

 

[toadsworthy]

I love any opportunity to talk about my villagers!

Timbra! she is so sweet and for some reason gets overshadowed by all the other sheep, because she isn't as brightly colored or other crap! but she has so much swag and is so stylish and cool! I love her! she has also been so sweet and funny! I had sucker move away in a TT incident and needed a replacement, and someone let me have Timbra and she stuck for the longest time! (only moved her out to go into my favorite villagers town)

Bettina! She was literally the last villager I knew existed.... I had her in my main town, but grew tired of her location, still she is the only adorable mouse and always brightens my day. She is also in my favorite villagers town and has made me laugh on multiple occasions since moving in too... even though her and flurry are both normal rodents, I have new love for Bettina and will never let her go now! she also took the spot next to where I'm putting my cafe and will become the Cafe barrister mouse once I get the cafe lol

Avery! I usually don't like the cranks, but it clicked with Avery.... I had a great time with pierce in city folk, but I liked avery way more in new leaf (big because I only allow one per species in my town) and Avery just cracks me up. I like villagers who kinda look like their personality but also have an edgy side to them and Avery and all of these guys have that about them.

Renee isn't the best looking uchi, but she has been my favorite since I discovered it was a different personality. My first was Mira and I was like... ew get away, and Renee was the one I got by chance next. She personifies begin a big sister literally and with the personality.... she is the best looking but she is always there for you!

 

[moonflow]

i really love a lot of tier 5 villagers! a lot of villagers are in the game are tier 5 so it's kind of a given. my personal favs are avery, bill, broffina, celia, tabby, midge, and jambette C:

 

[kyoko xo]

I love Diva. I have no idea why no one likes her, she really is adorable and such a sweetheart! She's also an Uchi, so extra points for me. I love Velma too. I think she's tier 5, right? I had her on my first town ever, and she never acted like a snooty. I didn't even know personalities existed then though lol. But she was still super sweet.

 

[RainCrossing]

I love Sally the Normal Squirrel! She's so cute, cuter than Poppy

I also love:
Melba
Yuka
Annalise
Annabelle
Kitt
I'm not really a fan of tier five villagers

 

[FelicityShadow]

Thank you everyone again for the stories. Toadsworthy yours is especially long and helpful. Thank you! RainCrossing I'm curious why you're not a fan of tier five villagers. Nothing wrong with it, but this would be perfect to know for the story I'm eventfully making.

 

[Megan.]

My favourite tier fives are Alice, Cousteau, Melba, Renee, Scoot, Sydney and Yuka.
I haven't had experience with a lot of them but I've had Melba and Cousteau. They're all so adorable I don't understand why they're tier five.

 

[Bloobloop]

There's a (I believe) Tier 5 sheep names Eunice. She's very sweet and adorable

 

[Renivere]

Anicotti! She was one of the original villagers in my town and the last one to leave my town.
I felt a really close bond with her. Like she was my best friend.

I was really sad when she moved out :c
