Who are your favorite non-mainstream villagers?

If you know me well, Cashmere. There's just something about her looks that make me like her. Not at first, but I warmed up to her.

And what's weird is that Bonbon, Celia, Frita, Julia, June, and Murphy are barely ever mentioned.
Bonbon, Celia, Julia, June and Murphy are cute sweeties while Frita is unique.
 
I LOVE Snooty. She's obviously a snooty lol, and when she randomly moved in I was pretty sure I was going to hate her. But she's really grown on me! She fits her name/personality SO well.

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Papi. He's lazy, which I know you're not looking for, but doesn't get the appreciation he deserves! He is so cute and sweet and a brilliant addition to my island.
 
Olive is such a sweet bear cub but i didnt consider her until chancing upon her on a mystery island. Curt is one of my all time favorite crankies, the other one being Chief. My girl, Hazel, is starting to grow on me fast!
 
Stinky! I kind of want to replace Bam with him as my jock, but I want Bam's picture first.

It still boggles my mind that Colton is relatively low on tier lists. He's one of the cutest Smugs? Hello? Mitzi being lower also surprises me, I always thought she was one of the best Normals. I love her color scheme and her face.

Papi I think it also an underrated Lazy, I had him for a time in NL and he was great. Cousteau and Mott are also great Jocks that people sleep on, but I guess that's just me.
 
my all time favorite villager is Tom the cat. He is so cute and so sweet, he's like a grumpy old grandpa who has acts tough but is really a huge softie 🥺 He was one of my original villagers in New Leaf, and I actually miss him in New Horizons, and have therefore added him to my dreamy list.

I also love Diva, which I know is controversial lol. I just think she is soooo funny, she was in my New Leaf town, and then was actually my starting villager in New Horizons, so she definitely has a special place in my heart along with Tom.
 
He's a lazy, but Papi is just absolutely adorable and he's hardly ever mentioned. He's super unique too! Definitely far from mainstream (though he should be :()
I had Papi in New Leaf! I wasn't sure how to feel about him at first, but he's definitely wonderful. :giggle:
 
There’s a lot! I like Mott, Sterling Alice, Grizzly, Carmen, Zell, Jacques, TASHA, Raddle, Mira, Sheri, Caroline, Sylvania, Bonbon, Eugene, Kidd, and Pierce.
 
I love Sprocket, sweetest robot bird ever. But also, Chadder and his bathroom house? Groucho too.

Additionally I really thought Eugene was a popular villager, so seeing him consistently at the bottom in the popularity spectrum is very confusing to my brain.
 
Not sure how popular she is but my second favorite is Carmen (peppy rabbit), I love her to pieces <3
 
i got ava (my name twin!) from my brother last night and i absolutely adore her!! june, elmer, maddie, blanche, agent s are all faves too, i really want maddie on my island weh 😭 i saw someone mention mott, so glad to see my boy getting some attention!!

edit: I FORGOT BOOMER MY SON i'm so sry boomer,,,i'm sure there're more that i'm forgetting. sylvana's cute!!

edit2: celia. why r there so many cute normals that get slept on. also i saw my boy butch very low on the tier list, whats up w THAT, he is my all time favorite cranky

I love Tom, I vividly remember him in my GCN town and he was a hoot. I hope you find him!
 
i've had some lowtier gems between NL and NH, Mott, Scoot and Eugene stick out as my favorites for sure
