User:Piranhapete/Sandboxes/Islander Personality Descriptions

This page is a list of descriptions of the personalities of Islanders as they appear in Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+ based off their dialogue and interactions. Please note that as there are no official terms for these personalities, the terms used are fan-coined and some possible alternatives are provided. This page is WIP.

Stoic
As a stoic or lazy islander, Boomer is philosophical, somber, and reclusive in nature, having forgone material possessions and society in favor of a solitary life on the island. He is taciturn and reserved in conversation, intent to restrain any foolish emotions, and will often wax on with wise and depressive musings on life and the cold nature of the universe. He advocates for moderation, self-discipline, and acceptance of suffering as an inevitable aspect of living while lamenting recklessness, materialism, and selfish acts of violence and destruction. Occasionally, he will be unable to contain his true feelings and give way to an embarrassing emotional outburst, passionately demanding items he can no longer live without. While lazy islanders have an awkward side, they are much more intellectual and reticent than their mainland counterparts; they share some pessimistic qualities of cranky mainlanders but have a gentler and more thoughtful temperament.


 * Islanders with this personality: Boomer, Dobie, Yodel, Raddle, Kidd, Roswell
 * When brought to later titles, stoic islanders have become lazy (2), smug (2), or cranky (1) villagers.


 * Alternate terms: hermit, lonely, wise, philosopher, reclusive, ascetic, somber

Dreamer
As a dreamer or normal islander, Bliss is peace-loving, bohemian, and whimsical in nature and will often wander off into fantasies or daydreams. She will frequently reference the natural beauty of the island around her, read auras, and wish peace upon the player. She is kind to the extreme, considering the feelings of every plant and creature around her, but she often spaces out and can even speak nonsense, dreaming about magic, fairy tales, and being a princess. She seeks tranquility and harmony in all things and will ask the player for items to improve her meditation. She is sweet-natured like normal mainlanders but is much more sensitive, fanciful, and eccentric.


 * Islanders with this personality: Bliss, Faith, June, Patricia, Marina, Norma
 * When brought to later titles, dreamer islanders have become normal (4) or big sister (1) villagers.


 * Alternate terms: dreamy, airy, daydreamy, daydreamer, moony, hippie, flower child, tree hugger

Surfer Bro
As a surfer bro or jock islander, Drift is laidback, cool, and fraternal in nature, dedicated to his lifestyle of surfing and taking it easy on the island. He uses characteristic slang like “gnarly,” “righteous,” and “tubular” in conversation and other hip or goofy turns of phrase as well terms related to surfing, often remarking on the island’s sun and the quality of the waves. He encourages the player to “mellow out,” go with the flow, and enjoy the slow pace of island life as he does, avoiding hard work or taking anything seriously. As a stereotypical dude, he wonders about how to meet hot beach babes and will ask the player to hook him up with items that will let him bask in the cool feeling of his room. While upbeat, masculine, and preoccupied with the sport of surfing in a manner reminiscent of jock mainlanders, Bud has a lazy, empty-headed personality more similar to lazy mainlanders.


 * Islanders with this personality: Drift, Bud, Pigleg, Fruity, Harry, Masa
 * When brought to later titles, surfer bro islanders have become jock (2) or cranky (1) villagers.


 * Alternate terms: surfer, surf bro, bro, surfer dude, chill

Auntie
As an auntie or peppy islander, Elina is bossy, old-fashioned, and tomboyish in nature and often schools the player on shaping up and the right way to act. She speaks with a rustic, spunky dialect in conversation and offers hardy lectures on topics such as having a healthy appetite, town pride, and how to be a real man or an independent girl. She has a quick temper and will staunchly reprimand the player if she feels they are acting weak or slacking off, but the player may win her approval if she is impressed by their achievements or respectable character. She enjoys sizing up the player’s physique, coaching them on sports they ought to play, and telling childhood stories of how boys were put to shame by her past athletic prowess. She is nostalgic for her good old days and will ask the player for items that remind her of when she was a little girl. While spirited like peppy mainlanders, Elina is much rougher and speaks like an older woman from the country.


 * Islanders with this personality: Elina, Flossie, Plucky, Koharu, Charlise, Violet
 * When brought to later titles, auntie islanders have become big sister (2) or snooty (1) villagers.


 * Alternate terms: bossy, biddy, tomboy, fusspot, bumpkin, nostalgic

Suave
As a suave or cranky islander, O'Hare is beguiling, pleasant, and egocentric in nature and often flirts with the player with effortless smooth talk.


 * Islanders with this personality: O'Hare, Flash, Rowan, Frank, Weldon, Curlos
 * When brought to later titles, suave islanders have become smug (2), jock (1), or cranky (1) villagers.


 * Alternate terms: romantic, gentleman, casanova, charmer, amorous

Ditzy
As a ditzy or snooty islander, Maelle is outspoken, airheaded, and melodramatic in nature, always eager to share her thoughts even if she does not have many of them. She is expressive and vapid in conversation and speaks without thinking, discussing makeup and her own beauty, exclaiming about things she finds gross, and spacing out about practical matters. With a proclivity for drama and little self-control, she can rarely restrain herself from making catty or backhanded remarks despite being deeply insecure others will perceive her conceited and immature tendencies. Oversensitive and uninhibited, she can often be unintentionally impolite and is pushy in her requests for items she is dying to have, but her mindless candor and warmth can often maintain her affable charm. While vain like snooty mainlanders, Maelle is contrastingly unsophisticated and speaks like a girly teenager rather than a mature lady.


 * Islanders with this personality: Maelle, Annalise, Ankha, Madam Rosa, Lulu (islander), Julia
 * When brought to later titles, ditzy islanders have become snooty villagers (4).
