Portia

Portia is a snooty dog villager who has appeared in nearly all of the games in the, except for. She is also the only dog in the series that has a snooty personality. "Portia" is a common English name for individuals of high class, which references her snooty attitude. Her phrase, "ruffian" is a pun on "ruff," an onomatopoeia for the noise a dog makes, and a ruffian, a person who appears untidy.

In, Portia has the fashion hobby and will be more frequently seen visiting Able Sisters and commenting on the player's fashion, sometimes giving them clothes that match their current outfit in color or style. She may be found carrying around a purse or wearing accessories and clothing different from their initial or gifted outfits.

Appearance
Portia is a dog based on a dalmatian, with grey spots and yellow sclera. Like several characters, Portia had numerous differences with her current and form: her eyes were smaller, placed lower on her face, and were differently shaped. Furthermore, she was noticeably shorter with the other dog villagers.

Personality
As a snooty villager, Portia will appear uptown, classy, and chic. With this, however, she will appear rude, belittling, and snobbish when talking to the player or other villagers in the town, usually criticizing their sense of dress or fashion. When talking to the player enough times, she will befriend them but still remain subtly rude. As with all snooty villagers, she has an interest in clothes over other hobbies. She will have problems socializing with other villagers, usually lazy villagers by disagreeing with their choice of lifestyle or getting offended by a jock villager, who has questioned her physical fitness. Her e-Reader card for Animal Crossing says that she is snooty due to wanting a little brother to boss around, which would be odd for a snooty villager, and sounds more similar to the behavior of a Sisterly (Uchi) villager.
