Cole!
I love Cole! Also Apple. And Peanut...Soleil, Hamphrey...too many to list, honestly.
Cole!

I saw someone mention Cheri and she's one of my permanents, I love her! But surely she can't be tier 4 or 5? I guess I always just assumed she'd be as popular with everyone as she is with me.
My all time favorite villager is Lucha, who is tier 5. He's really special to me because of a few instances of great timing and his smug personality just really suiting him. He's way underrated.
Puck is another tier 5 I really love. He's so adorable and I don't get the hate on penguins. I think they're some of the cutest animals in the game and definitely the funniest.
Celia is amazing as well. She was very kind and one of my starters. Sadly she's gone now. But she was my best friend while still here and I got her picture to remember her by~
I think Agent S is a tier 4. She was a lot of fun and kinda creepy, but it added to her charm. She again is gone though but I definitely enjoyed her while she was here.
And lastly I love Ed. Ten times better than Julian IMO. He was in my old town along with another cool dude, Vladimir. I forget what tier Ed is but I doubt he's above 3.
Last one who comes to mind is Puddles. She was a total joy and one of the sweeter peppy characters I ever had. She and lily are probably the cutest frogs in the game too haha.
I like many and most of them but these are the guys who stand out in my mind x3
