maple is the only one still there, shes now my favorite villager, she has been with me for close to 3 years now. (Well 2 years and 8 months but it's easier to round up)
♥ In Snowille,
my first five villagers are Cookie, Nana, Queenie, Poncho and Derwin.
Nana and Cookie are the only ones left though,
and I'm slowly trying to let them go once I got their pictures c: ♥ ~♚Vickie
Mine were Rooney, Bianca, Pierce, Nan and Beau. I still have all of them because I want to get their pictures before I kick them out, but I'm waiting for Pierce to move out since I've got his picture now.
Three of the Applewin originals remain: Jambette, Scoot, and Twiggy.
All other listed villagers, between these three towns, were moved out.
I did not want a repeat Jambette in Foster. I wanted a different Normal. I was pleasantly surprised, in a temporary town from which I used an extra game cartridge, to get myself the beloved Molly.
I labored over ACNLpics, with museum-like houses showcasing displays of the characters' pictures, in part because of those original villagers' home locations, but also because of not knowing, when I was developing it August 2014 to January 2015, that I would start a third town. I used an additional cartridge to come up with a combination of characters who would make ACNLpics interesting. (I didn't want only popular characters ranked so highly on forum member Hound00med's thread.) Anyone going through ACNLpics, in a Dream adventure, can tell the first original five couldn't be retained. (There are no obstructive walking patterns exploring the town.)
My signature lists all characters in these active towns. The Dreams are really nice to a point that I haven't done any updating. (My instinct is to leave them alone.)
The first five I had n my town were Roald(he's now my favorite), Bella, Dora, Rizzo, and Egbert. I still have three of those villagers, actually. Roald, Bella and Rizzo are still hangin out here
