Big sister

"She's like a strong older sister you can always rely on! No matter what, she'll have your back!"

- Isabelle, talking about an Uchi villager

Uchi villagers are a type of female characters introduced in. The Japanese word "Uchi" refers to the personal pronoun these characters use in the Japanese version, which comes across as informal and is mainly used by girls. Sometimes called the "Big Sister" personality, it is similar to the Cranky personality in previous Animal Crossing games, coming across as blunt, rude, and belittling to others, but also caring and empathetic deep down. They are thus considered the female counterpart to cranky villagers. They wake up at 11:00 AM and go to bed at 3:00 AM. There are currently 23 uchi villagers, 5 of which appeared in the previous games with a different personality; uchi is thus the least common personality.

Behaviors
Uchi villagers are often depicted as stubborn, rude, and easily offended at first glance, in a similar manner to cranky villagers, who also have a hostile behavior. Uchi villagers also speak with gruff, accented voices, similar to the deep voices cranky villagers use, in reference to their "tough" attitudes. As a result of this, they are seen as a sort of Tomboy, as they occasionally talk about enjoying fighting, and express an interest in participating in 'turf wars'. In addition to this they might give the player a petition called 'Tomboys Are People Too' which further supports this. Despite this violent exterior, however, Uchi villagers are kind and empathetic deep down. They may act like an older sister when befriended, and may even give the player medicine if talked to while stung by bees.

Relationships
Uchi villagers find it easy to get along with most villagers: Peppy and Normal villagers will admire uchi villagers and see them as an older sister, and often they have common interests. Jock villagers will also admire how rigid and tough they are, allowing them to get along easily as well. Uchi villagers will also express an admiration for smug and snooty villagers for their elegant lifestyles, but may come into conflict with them if the wrong things are said. Cranky villagers will directly clash with uchi villagers, due to both personalities being strongly opinionated. If their opinions match, however, uchi villagers can become close friends with a cranky villager due to both having hostile personalities.
