Who are your favorite non-mainstream villagers?

[Spooky.]

Antonio, Phil, Anabelle, Gayle

 

[Astro0]

KEATON KEATON KEATON
Best boy

Also fuschia! I had her in NL and would die for her, she seems a lot more popular now but I've seen people talk about how she was ugly before D: she's always been amazing

 

[Blink.]

Felicity, Dotty, Poppy, and Olivia c: luckily got Felicity and Olivia in my hubby’s town and we adore them Especially Felicity, she’s so special to him since New Leaf and they share almost the same name! c:

 

[Tako]

Would Clay and Vivian count? I'm not sure, but I rarely see them being traded. (Then again, I rarely visit the New Neighbor subforum. haha)

Clay because his design is absolutely adorable, and I love his voice! It's just too cute. <3
Vivian is the only snooty villager I like. She has a really pretty design and is overall rather sweet. Plus, we share the same name!

 

[Cenna]

Bunnie. She’s honestly such a cutie. I adored her in NL and when I found her on an island, I squealed lol.

 

[Meowria]

I'm not sure if she counts as non mainstream but I've always loved Mint! She was in mine and my mom's villages in GC era(she'd always hop back and forth because we were always in each other's towns) and I ended up really liking her because I thought she was really adorable at the time. I'd like to have her as a temporary in my New Horizons island unfortunately no room for her just to see her, but I am planning on adding her to my New Leaf town as a permanent resident.

I really like all the penguins. Besides Roald, I never really see any love for them. Penguins are one of my fave animals so I love each and every one of them.

 

[Aliya]

Chevre and Nan are my favorites from childhood since my sister had Chevre and I had Nan in WW and they'd move between our towns often.

I also really like Dotty and Pierce!

Willow is the prettiest villager and I'm so glad I have her on my island. Diana could neva (I want her too though).
Also Tiffany is so cool looking, if I ever get a second island I definitely want her on it.
Not sure how popular Pekoe is but I rarely see her name mentioned and she's such a cutie!!!
Merry is adorable but I don't see a lot of love for her either.

 

[edsett]

Jeremiah and Cole! They are sooo cute. Also I love Bill but in every game I had (WW, CF, NL) he always wants to move like immediately so I guess we’re not meant to be lol.

 

[tinypietro]

frita and willow!!! all the sheeps are just a tier imo, but i feel like they get overlooked a lot.

 

[usa-chan]

hamphrey, apple, pate, and willow are severely underrated! their designs are so cute, and i had apple and willow in my new leaf towns, and i adored them!

Ones I really love that aren’t super popular are:

• Soleil - she is adorable. Her catchphrase ’tarnation’ had me imagining her as a southern belle.
• Gladys - beautiful and an absolute SWEETHEART
• Hornsby - he is the cutest boy rhino imo
• Julia - how this beauty gets overlooked is beyond me
• Keaton - he’s a parrot! Super bright and cheerful
• Kidd and Pashmina - my fave goats
• Mitzi - I prefer her to the more popular Lolly
• Peanut - one of my all time favorites, she a peppy I don’t mind having around
• Phil - beautiful eyes and striking colors. He’s a gentleman as well
• Pretty much all the horses including Roscoe - my GOAT. Horses are my fave species and they are collectively underrated except for Julian. Notable mentions: Papi, Savannah, Annalise, Cleo.
• Spike - a lux grump. I love the gold texture on his New Horizons design.
• Willow - my favorite sheep.

Whinnie, I never see her anywhere and I love her so much! She's so sassy and adorable, I love the little star on her head and how she wants to be famous (or you could say she wants to be a star). I think she's one of the best villagers and is super underrated.

 

[Spooky.]

Most of my faves aren't mainstream.

Filbert, Antonio, Phil, Willow, Annabelle, Aurora

 

[Blueskyy]

The ones on my island are Winnie and Murphy. I know Vivian isn’t that ignored, but I love having her way more than Whitney.

 

[thundershot]

My top three are Camofrog, Rocco, and Savannah

 

[coderp]

Goose is a priceless gem

 

[nammie]

I love Rudy!! Not sure how popular he is but I dont see him traded that often. His colouring is so cute and personally I like jock villagers haha, I think their dialogue is hilarious.

I'll never forget all the times he invited me to his house in acnl, and telling me he'd run behind me to view my glorious muscles or something lol

I think Shep is a rly cute smug too, its sad that other than Marshal and Raymond the other smugs arent really mentioned as much

elmer, papi, roscoe. my inner horse girl yearns for an all horse town.

Same! The horses are so gorgeous in this game. The way their tail slightly lifts up their outfits and the hair gradient on the back of their heads!
