Filbert

Filbert is a lazy squirrel villager, who appears in every installment of. His name, like most of his species, came from a type of nut. In this case, his name comes from the species of hazelnut. His Japanese name is the same as the English name of another squirrel, Ricky.

In, Filbert has the nature hobby and will be more frequently seen sitting underneath trees or observing and watering flowers. He will also fish and chase after bugs, and may also be seen carrying bundles of sticks or picnic baskets.

Appearance
Filbert is a blue squirrel with a white stripe on his forehead (almost like Peanut) and a white swirl on his tail. He has bright pink cheeks and the inside of his rounded ears are orange.

Personality
As a lazy villager, Filbert will be easy to get along with due to his laid back lifestyle. Like all lazy villagers, he shares an interest in food, relaxing, and resting. He will enjoy partaking in the usual hobbies, usually for relaxing reasons or for food (fishing). He will get along well with other villager types such as the normal villagers who act as a mother or elder sister figure and peppy villagers who appear to be around the same age. He may offend or confuse jock villagers, who have a conflicting lifestyle of exercise and fitness, who do not understand the reason behind the lazy lifestyle choice. He's currently the only lazy squirrel in the entire series.
