My first camper on Starside was Henry. He’s definitely grown on my during his (permanent) stay and a few days ago he FINALLY gave me his photo! On my 2nd island, also called Starside, my first camper was Raymond. I love him, but I’m gonna let him go when he asks to leave. They’re both in my top 3 smug villagers list (Henry in 1st, Kidd in 2nd, Raymond in 3rd).
Lucha, and I'm kind of happy about that! I would've preferred Raymond because he is, for better or worse, my smug dreamie, but at the time I didn't know it was smugs only and I wouldn't have wanted to reset for him anyway. I also didn't know it was a forced move in, and moved Lucha in anyway - I like birds and he was a great temporary villager, although he ended up staying for quite a long time!
Eugene, I hated him with passion at first, but after he serenaded me in front of my house every day, I decided that maybe he wasn't so bad and just let him roam around
I had Graham. Smugs are an interesting personality, though there aren't many of them whose designs I really, really like. My top contenders for a permanent smug would be Julian, Zell, Phil, or Marshal.
Mine was Julian... it was pretty disappointing. While he has a pretty cool house I can't say I'm a huge fan of him as a villager but he was alright! He was taken in by a more loving home later on. Most of the time I don't get villagers that I like in the campsite which makes sense given how many villagers there are! I have, however, stumbled upon Dobie (didn't love at first but knew many did and grew to love him as an island resident), Hopper and Wade off the tip of my head that I love.
Ed was my forced smug and I actually did like him. He stayed for 4 months or so. Between Ed and Julian I definitely preferred Ed. Sadly, I had to reduce my smug villager intake with Kyle and Eugene being permanent residents.
Graham was mine. Took forever to get him to leave and then right after that, I get another smug I didn’t want (was saving the spot for Raymond): Tex; he came from @JeffreyAC ’s island which now has my Graham lol (we didn’t trade; they both came from each other’s void lol). Tex did grow on me and I let him stay longer so I could get his picture.
Invited him because it was required. Continued to debate about keeping him or not, but I noticed he "picked fights" with the other villagers (every time he talked to a village, they would walk away from him sad). So I kicked him out.
It was Henry and I really didn't like it at first. But after a while it was even a bit sad to let him go. I hate it sometimes how some villagers can get so close to you... it's just a game but still haha
