However, her appearance, including her voice, is identical in all versions. Saharah shares this attribute with [[Blanca]] and [[Gracie]]. While Blanca and Gracie's gender changes were intentional, as revealed by the localizers updating Blanca and Gracie's from "male" to "female" in the Game Boy Advance [[Matchmakers]] [[e-Reader]] minigame, the developers overlooked Saharah, as they updated her [[e-Reader card]] appropriately to "female" but failed to update her minigame data value to "female." |
This oversight when localizing {{DnM+}} into {{PG}} is due to the ambiguity of [[special characters]]' genders, because unlike [[villager]]s, who have pink and blue name bubbles when speaking, all special NPCs have ambiguous green bubbles. Due to Saharah's long eyelashes (a trait all camels have) and the Japanese name ローラン (''Rōran''), which was interpreted as "Lauren," they assumed he was female and did not realize the mistake until staff in Japan questioned why Saharah's western [[e-Reader card]] has a female gender indicator.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Jason Nuyens|date=November 12, 2004|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050315060847/http://www.n-sider.com:80/articleview.php?articleid=371|title=Interviews|site=N-Sider.com|archive-date=March 15, 2005|retrieved=September 25, 2022}}</ref> | This oversight when localizing {{DnM+}} into {{PG}} is due to the ambiguity of [[special characters]]' genders, because unlike [[villager]]s, who have pink and blue name bubbles when speaking, all special NPCs have ambiguous green bubbles.

− | In {{CF}}, Saharah | + | In {{CF}}, Saharah once again accepts trade-ins. Though the player does not have to pay alongside the trade, she asks for old wallpaper or carpet from other [[villager]]s around [[town]], and usually only one or two will have them. If the player saves three of these old wallpapers or carpets every time she visits, she will give the player a rare wallpaper or carpet. If the player tries to give her a wallpaper or carpet from their [[player house|home]] or [[Tom Nook's store]], she will say that it is "still lovely," but not accept it for trade. |
