Staying:
Annalisa: She's pretty and adorable and the cutest thing ever.
Lucky: Precious baby.
Groucho: A total sweetheart, I fell head over heels for him when I met him on an island. Never thought that I'd like a bear character this much.
Most likely
Pate: She's just so endearing! I'm a little sad about her house since she was one of my original five, but I don't want her to leave since the relationship with her feels more "authentic" then most of my other villagers, if that makes sense.
Possibly
Tabby: I like how bizarre and yet cute she looks and I wouldn't mind having one or two cats as my permanent residents.
Not staying:
Hazel: She was one of my first two and I like her a lot. Letting her go will be hard, but if she wants to, I'll wish her the best of luck.
Lily: She's okay, I like her, but she seems a little generic. Pretty, but nothing about her stands out to me. We have bonded a little, but Annalisa, who is the same personality type, seems to be way more active and charming.
Prince: Another cutie, but one lazy is enough for me and he also comes with a generic house.
Graham: Not really my cup of tea. He's okay, I guess.
Agnes: She turned out to be a little disappointing. I do like her design a lot, but she barely ever seems to come outside and if she does, she always hangs out far away from anyone else.
For now I think that I would like to add Cherry, Olaf and Olivia (then I'd have two dogs, two cats and two anteaters) and possibly Tia. Don't know about a tenth one, though. I'm lowkey angry at myself for passing Olaf on an island once. I've been contemplating for minutes whether or not I wanted to invite him and decided against it because he was the wrong anteater
