'''Leif''' is a [[sloth]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{NL}}. As a nod to his ownership of the [[Garden Shop]], his name is a pun on the word "leaf." In his main appearances, he runs gardening shops and offers weeding services to the [[player]].
__TOC__

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Leif NL.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork from {{NL}}.]]
Leif is a lightish-brown sloth with a white face, a pair of black round eyes with white rims and black thick swirling lines surrounding them, a small reddish-brown nose shaped like an oval, a pair of round pink cheeks, a black inner mouth with red lips, and a pair of hands with small blackish-gray claws. When working, he wears a green cap with a flower print with a green circle core, an orangish-yellow apron with a big pocket and reddish-brown buttons with red crossed strings on each strap, and a pair of small green boots.

===Personality===
Leif is a cheerful lover of nature, explaining why he runs the Garden Shop and hosts [[Weeding Day]].

==Appearances==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:NL Weeding Day.jpg|thumb|right|Leif telling the player about the start of Weeding Day in {{NL|short|nolink}}.]]
In {{NL}}, Leif runs the Garden Shop, where the player can buy [[flower]]s, [[sapling]]s, [[fertilizer]], and gardening [[tool]]s such as the [[Watering Can]] and the [[Axe]]. After [[Timmy and Tommy's store]] expands to [[T.I.Y.]], the Garden Shop will merge, Leif will have a new, larger selection of items, and additionally will offer a weed-pulling service.

Depending on the version of the game, on a certain day, Leif hosts Weeding Day. When all the weeds are pulled, Leif rewards the player with a prize which consists of one of the furniture items from the [[Flower Set]]. If the day starts and there are no weeds in town, Leif rewards the player with a special award: the Happy Generosity Award. In addition, he makes three [[public works project]]s - the round, square, and tulip topiaries - available for erection and gifts the player with a flower bag containing a hybrid flower.

Leif may be found in the player's town if more than 50 weeds are present, fast asleep, and if spoken to, he wakes up and asks the player to help pull the weeds. He will maintain a count of the remaining weeds so that the player knows how many still need to be uprooted. Depending on how many weeds the player pulled and whether it was done in their own town or another player's town, he will gift the player with a random flower bag, [[fertilizer]], perfect [[fruit]], or an exclusive furniture item as a reward for completing the task.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===

While initially absent from {{NH}}, Leif returned in the [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history/1.2.0|1.2.0 April Free Update]]. He regularly appears in front of the [[Resident Services]] building to sell an assortment of gardening goods, such as a in-season and a out-of-season [[Bush|shrub start]], non-native flowers, and plants to grow [[produce]] such as {{I|pumpkin start|NH}}s and {{I|wheat start|NH}}s. He also buys weeds for twice their usual selling price. His shop closes at 10 PM.

Outside of Nature Day, if the player purchase from Leif on three separate occasions, he'll give the player a [[DIY recipes|DIY recipe]] for a {{I|hedge|NH}}.

With the release of the {{NHVer|2.0}} update, Leif now has a shop open at the plaza on [[Harv's Island]]. However, he will continue to visit the player's island about every two weeks. Outside of his regular services, he also offers the player to remove all weeds in their island for 100,000 [[Bell]]s, such that all the weeds will be placed in the [[recycle box]] on the following day for the player to take.

In {{HPP}}, Leif can be found on the beach outside [[Paradise Planning]] after the player has designed the [[school]]. If the player agrees to take him to it so that he can give a lesson on flowers, they will be able to use hybrid flowers in designing vacation homes.

Prior to its removal in version 2.0, when the player scans Leif's [[amiibo card]] and tries to invite him, he will say:

<blockquote>
''Heya, <span style="color:#2ECC71;">Player</span>! Were you trying to get in touch with <span style="color:#F28903;">Leif</span>?''<br>
''{{'}}Cause that's me.''<br>
''Did you invite me to go camping? That's the happiest news I've heard all day, my friend.''<br>
''But I gotta sit this one out. See, I already promised this nap here that I was gonna take it, so...''<br>
''Until next time, friend!''
</blockquote>

===In ''Animal Crossing Plaza''===
Leif appears as a Miiverse stamp in ''[[Animal Crossing Plaza]]''.

===In {{PC|short|nolink}}===
In {{PC}}, Leif returns to host Leif's Spring Flowers Event. This is similar for Rover and Lottie events so far. The creatures are ladybugs and the flowers are called "sleeping beauties" and "white clovers."

==Other appearances==
===In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''===
Leif makes an appearance as a collectible trophy.

|description='''NTSC-U''': Although he's a sloth, there's nothing lazy about Leif. He works hard to sell seeds, saplings, and gardening supplies, all while fighting the temptation to dangle from his plants. I wonder if Leif knows how much all his hard work brightens the days of those around him...<br><br>'''PAL''': Sloth he may be, but he's not one to just lounge around! He sells seeds, saplings and other gardening supplies - all with a big smile. He doesn't even give in to the urge to hang from the plants he sells. Flowers really cheer him up, but his smile cheers everyone else up a whole lot more!
