While the Animal Crossing franchise has introduced players to more than 400 unique villagers over the years, the rarest personality type featured in the games is the “sisterly” personality type with a mere 24 villagers. Of course, this number isn’t particularly surprising seeing as the sisterly personality type (also referred to as the “big sister” or “uchi” personality type) was only added to the Animal Crossing series in Animal Crossing: New Leaf (2016).
Naturally, the scarcity of villagers with sisterly personalities makes things a bit difficult for players who strive to have every personality type represented on their island. With so few sisterly villagers to choose from, identifying the best candidates for island life is essential for players to get the full Animal Crossing experience.
Agnes
Agnes is a great sisterly villager to add to a number of different islands. While sisterly villagers can be tough before getting to know players more deeply, Agnes sports a very sweet style in both her clothing and interior design choices. Thanks to her pink and yellow sundress and the numerous floral pieces in her Animal Crossing: New Horizons house interior, Agnes is a great introduction to the relatively abrasive sisterly personality type. Agnes is still representative of other sisterly villagers, of course, and will happily offer self-defense tips and medicine to deserving players.
Pashmina
There have been many changes between the releases of Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons with Pashmina undergoing significant style change. Many players were first introduced to this sisterly goat villager when her style was primarily rococo. In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Pashmina explicitly requests “a gorgeous, rococo room.”
However, Pashmina’s style has pivoted completely in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Pashmina’s new house interior features a retro American diner theme, and her colorful, bulky sweater seems to match that same style. Regardless of which style Pashmina gravitates towards, however, she is one of the most fashionable villagers a player can find.
Fuchsia
Animal Crossing players who are fond of the color pink are sure to be enchanted by Fuchsia. However, Fuchsia’s good qualities go far beyond her bright coloring. Fuchsia is a very relatable villager who often struggles to make decisions, which is tempered by her determination to succeed once her mind is made up.
According to her description in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, “Once Fuchsia has decided to do something, she gets it done! It’s deciding what to do that’s the problem…” In addition, Fuchsia displays a wicked sense of humor when players interact with her. With this combination of Fuchsia’s bold style and relatability, she is sure to be a great addition to any island.
Ursula
Ursula is easily one of the most loveable sisterly villagers that players could possibly encounter in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Ursula is such a beloved villager, in fact, that her personality was changed from a snooty personality type in early Animal Crossing games to the sisterly type as soon as this designation was introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Unlike some of New Horizons‘ rudest villagers, Ursula sports a cute, striped maxi dress in New Horizons and provides a stable, loving foundation for the introduction of future sisterly villagers. Ursala’s favorite phrase, “Surround yourself with things you love,” is a perfect demonstration of the sweetness that this pink bear villager can bring to any island.
Katt
Players with an appreciation for rock music are sure to be drawn to Katt, a sisterly cat villager who is a hardcore music lover and a worthy candidate for the select list of Animal Crossing islanders players who would love to hang out with. Katt’s New Horizons house interior features an electric guitar, a full drum set, an effects rack, and a record player alongside stacks upon stacks of music magazines. Even outside of her home, Katt is a villager with a music hobby and can be seen singing all over the place while sporting her black jacket and chunky chain necklace.
Shari
Shari is a very direct villager who “takes no lip from anyone,” as stated in her Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp description. Like many other sisterly villagers, Shari has no patience for people who spread rumors. Snooty and cranky villagers, of course, are known for spreading rumors, which may earn them a solid scolding from Shari.
This sisterly monkey villager’s favorite saying explains her belief that “a good start leads to a good end,” which may explain her urge to call out bad behavior as soon as she sees it. The sooner a dispute ends, the sooner Shari and other villagers can start over and enjoy exploring the island together.
Muffy
As stated on Muffy’s picture card, “There’s a black sheep in every family.” On the surface level, this is meant as a lighthearted reference to Muffy’s all-black wool. However, this saying may be a reference to Muffy’s gothic fashion and design choices, as well as her tough, sisterly personality.
Aesthetically speaking, Muffy is an essential villager for islands with darker themes. Muffy’s fashion and interior design preferences are inspired by gothic lolita fashion, specifically. Players looking for Animal Crossing villagers who exemplify both spooky and sweet are sure to become good friends with this sisterly sheep villager.
Tammy
Tammy is a sisterly bear cub villager with no patience for nonsense. Tammy’s favorite saying is “If a job is worth doing, do it right!” and she is quick to remind both players and other villagers to shape up if they behave poorly in front of her. Ultimately, however, Tammy just wants to have a good time with her friends.
Tammy’s goal in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is actually to design her home as a place to throw a Halloween party for all of her friends, rather than to design a space for herself. This general desire to provide for the people she loves is a core aspect of Tammy’s personality.
Deirdre
Deirdre is a perfect match for Animal Crossing players who find themselves wishing pumpkin spice could be in season all year long. This sisterly deer villager can always be seen wearing a cozy floral sweater around town, and her autumnal preferences are fully unavoidable once players walk inside of her house.
Deirdre’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons house is elaborately decorated with red, orange, and yellow leaves, accompanied by furniture fashioned almost exclusively from mushrooms and tree stumps. For players looking for autumnal things to do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Deirdre is the ideal player to interact with to fulfill their seasonal needs.
Sylvia
Sylvia is yet another sisterly villager who was first introduced to players as a snooty villager in early Animal Crossing games. Like Ursula, Sylvia’s reintroduction as a sisterly villager helps to populate the newer sisterly personality type with already beloved characters.
This sisterly kangaroo villager is incredibly nurturing towards those she cares about, which will easily include players who are kind to her. Like other female kangaroo villagers, Sylvia carries her joey around everywhere in her pouch. Players who are taken under Sylvia’s wing may feel just as warm and protected as her precious joey.
