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 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. Uchi villagers also speak with gruff, accented voices, similar to the deep voices cranky villagers use. 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.

They are also seen as the game's version of a Tomboy, as they occasionally talk about enjoying fighting, and 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.
