Personality
As a cranky villager, Apollo will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to other villagers, including the player. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. He will enjoy the usual hobbies, but for relaxation and peace than competition. He will find it difficult to socialize with peppy villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along with normal and snooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with, and will also admire lazy villagers for their lifestyle. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone.

In
Apollo stars in the with his Animal Crossing name. He appears grumpy like in the games, and slowly warms up to Ai after the incident with Yu knocking over Ai into his flower patch, causing a small rift between them. He forgives her, but only because he did not realize Ai was still nervous around him. In the film, there are rumors that he and Bianca, the white wolf, were once a couple. This is apparent when they are close to each other, giving vacant stares at each other, and never really talking to each other.
