Imma have to say Dom! I didn't think I would love him as much as I do and I'm so happy to have had him as a starter on my island! He's permanent now c:
it keeps happening to me in every game, and my town always ends up being made up of at least half "random" villagers.. i think it is because no matter how weird their design is, they still have this same likeable, friendly personality, and they also act very human, developing friendships and so on, so i don't just wanna boot them because they're ugly LOL
in new horizons, it's gotta be Kody and T-Bone for me, and also flora. although for all 3 i'm still not sure if i want to replace them at some point because there are definitely other designs with their personality i like a lot more..
I am 90% sure Stitches was one of my starting villagers in Wild World, my first AC game. I didn't realize at first, but my friend said he thought it was cool how he looked like a teddy bear. I had an epiphany there, I hadn't realized until that point that he was a teddy bear, and I realized that he was probably the cutest villager ever. He will always be my #1. I got Amiibo Festival so I have his amiibo card, and he's in my NL and NH towns. Another one of mine was Clay. He was one of the first villagers to move into my town in New Leaf, and near my house. He was my first hamster villager and I believe my first lazy villager, and honestly lazy villagers were adorable in New Leaf. He became my favorite villager in NL (until I got Stitches after the Welcome Amiibo update).
I planned on getting a different snooty, but ended up coming across Vivian on a mystery island. I took her in (fully intending on moving her out for either Willow or Blanche once I had enough tickets to island hop again), but I ended up really liking her! I had another snooty at the time too, but Vivian just stole the show.
I don't really like jocks, but Dom is adorable and was one of my starters. I planned on keeping him for a bit and eventually letting him move when he asks, but he is probably the biggest sweetheart on my island so he's staying forever. While the muscle talk gets old kinda fast, I can't imagine him not being here.
Hazel for me! I was planning to get Mira as my uchi but Hazel was one of my first 2 and she's definitely grown on me so I'm keeping her. I was trying not to have more than 2 squirrels and now I'm ending up with 4
Villagers I found by accident? Roscoe, Judy, and Audie. They're all super amazing, Audie made me like peppy personalities. They're all near and dear to my heart. And I know it's cliche but Raymond. I definitely didn't see the appeal of him at all and why everyone was freaking out over him but I suddenly got bit by the "I must have Raymond" bug after seeing pictures of him posted on Twitter and grinded a bunch of Nook Miles, traded like a crazy person on a bunch of boards and sites for NMT, and had like no bells from buying tickets and everything going to trades for tickets. It all worked out because I found him and honestly he is worth the hype in my opinion. He has quickly become my favorite smug and dethroned my previous favorite smug, Julian. Like I'm considering letting Julian move out and he was my favorite in New Leaf. There's just something super adorable about Raymond and I love him.
Probably Skye, I didn't even know she existed since I didn't really care for normal villagers in the previous games but now I think she's extremely precious and needs to be protected. She's always singing too and just agh my heart
Buck! I have him as a starter and got attached to him fast, I might let him go but he grew on me a lot so he will be missed. I don't have easy access to him but one day I'll have him again
For me it was Ozzie and Whitney. Whitney was one of starting five in my new leaf town and I started off distancing myself from her after she made fun of my dapper tee. But I've grown to love her and am now searching for her to add her to my new horizons town.
Ozzie and I met on a mystery islands tour and he ended up becoming my starter lazy. I was originally hoping for Moe or Zucker but seeing this little guy on my first island inhabited by a lazy, I knew I had to have him. Now he's a proud member of my dreamies list!
I knew I wanted an Uchi villager on my island, I just didn't know who. My starter Uchi was Canberra and god I disliked her so much. When I visited a friend's island, he had Agnes. When I saw her in-game, I was pleasantly surprised at how cute she was. It was then that I knew she had to come to my island.
With regards to Audie and Judy, I actually was not a huge fan of them when they were first revealed. However, over time I slowly found myself actually wanting them. When I encountered Audie on an island (she was one of my first 3 villagers to move-in), I was like, you need to move in NOW. With Judy, I visited another island that had her, and she was just so darn cute. Like how could I not have her on my island? I went island hopping last night, and to my surprise found her with ease at just 35 tickets.
I can slowly see myself falling for Raymond as well...and I guess you could say the same for the rest of the new villagers (minus Cyd and Megan, who I honestly have yet to see in-game).
cyd... he's like a crusty punk rocking grandpa(skull themed house), always giving advice, my hubby keeps threatening to try and steal him. the same goes for static.
forgot to add... cyd likes singing to my flowers and oceans, they haven't wilted or parted yet, so it's all good.
Oddly enough... Buck. He was one of the villagers that move in with you on the island and I was like EW hes ugly ugh. But day after day of playing and interacting his jock attitude was so adorable and hes just so lovely, I just eventually said aw heck, you're one cool horse. He also became my island bestfriend on his birthday haha
definitely hazel for me! i had her visit my campsite and i really didn't want her because she wasn't super cutesy like my other villagers and not gonna lie, i was shooketh by her unibrow. but she has really grown on me now and she definitely is cute in her own way, and is always encouraging my villager to keep on going
i wouldn't necessarily call her a dreamy since i've let someone else invite her from my island, but vivian. found her randomly on a mystery island, decided on a whim to invite her. kept her around for awhile, and she was so pleasent to have around. she may be "snooty" but i found her to be charming, a sweetheart. i still think abt her sometimes, miss her a little
i initially didnt really like raymond because of all the maid stuff and the way people portray him and his gijinkas crept me out. i saw him at my friends island, thought he looks goofy (in a good way) and ended up getting him for myself and now i think hes very adorable for me i like imagining him as a kid playing pretend businessman, because hes just so goofy to me, it makes him endearing
hazel was in my new leaf town and i didnt even like her at first. she grew on me hard to the point that when i found out she was in new horizons i had to get her into my town asap. besides zucker i think she's the only one who hasn't moved out of my town yet?
i just saw poppy's render for new horizons before the game came out and just instantly wanted her. end of that.
