A bias is a preconceived opinion about somebody, judging from what the person looks like or what he or she does. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, villagers will start to talk to other players about other players. The bias, is usually an idea about them because of what they do and what they wear. For example,

"[Player 1 Name] seems so nice, bet he/she seems like such a [bias opinion]! I really wish to get to know him/her better."

Villagers will even bias people from other towns.

Getting to know one better
If the villagers get to know players better, they will not have a bias opinion about the player, but who he or she is. For example,

"[Player Name] is really great! He/she is such a [hobby]! I'm really glad I met that crazy kid from [Town Name]!"

List of Biases
Each bias is either from an activity that the player constantly does, or from what the player wears. The animals may call the player a(n):


 * Witchlette if the player wears at least one piece of clothing from GracieGrace's witch clothing.
 * Angelface if the player wears the halo from the Able Sisters' shop.
 * Broke Joker if the player does not socialize much with villagers.
 * Fishing Fan if the player constantly fishes.
 * Flyswatter if the player constantly catches bugs.
 * Bloom Bud if the player constantly waters or plants flowers.
 * Four-Eyes if the player wears a glasses accessory from the Able Sisters' Shop.
