Appearance
Paolo is a pink elephant with distinctive brown eyebrows and yellow on the tip of his trunk, hands and hooves. From onwards his appearance is altered to add purple to his kneecaps, though this change is reverted from  onwards. Paolo's expression is always that a wide grin.

Personality
Paolo is a lazy villager, meaning he likes food, comics, and sleeping. He will argue with jock and snooty villagers due to conflicting lifestyles. He will get along with normal villagers, as they are like a motherly or elder sister figure, and peppy villagers, as they are both around the same age.

House
Paolo's house in and  has a strong Japanese design which is toned down in  with the removal of the Japanese Theme. In the latter game he has a slight Kiddie theme with the inclusion of two Elephant Slides. He plays "K.K. March" on his Dice Stereo.

In, his house/RV now has a Spa theme. "To the Edge" now plays instead of K.K. March in his house if he owns a stereo.
