'''Big sister''',<ref>FuturePress. ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide''.</ref> also known colloquially as '''uchi'''{{Note|''Uchi'' is an unofficial term used by the community prior to the release of the ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide''. ''Uchi'' is taken from the personal pronoun these characters use in the Japanese version.}} or '''sisterly''',{{Note|''Sisterly'' is an unofficial term used by the community prior to the release of the ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide''.}} is a female [[villager]] personality type in the {{SER}} introduced in {{NL}}. Big sister villagers are initially portrayed as stubborn and rude, though they open up and act like an older sister to the player as they befriend them.
+
'''Sisterly'''{{Note|{{Nihongo foot|姉貴|Aneki|Big Sis}}}} (also known as '''big sister'''{{Note|"Big sister" is used in the ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide'' by Future Press}} or '''uchi'''{{Note|"Uchi" is a term used by the community to refer to this personality as it did not have an officially localized name until {{NH|short}}, which has internal data naming it "big sis". Uchi is taken from the personal pronoun these characters use in the Japanese version.}}) [[villagers]] are a type of female character introduced in {{NL}}. Prior to {{NH|short|nolink}}, this personality was most commonly referred to by the English speaking community as the Japanese word "Uchi", which refers to the personal pronoun these characters use in the Japanese version.
  
As of the release of {{NH}}, there are a total of 26 big sister villagers across the series, making it the least common personality; all 26 appear in {{NH|short|nolink}}. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, big sister villagers cannot be one of the starting villagers in the player's [[town]]. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, a big sister villager is always one of the two starting villagers on the player's island.
+
The personality is similar to the [[Cranky]] [[Villager#Personalities|personality]] in previous ''Animal Crossing'' games, coming across as blunt, rude, and belittling to others, but also caring and empathetic deep down. They are thus considered the female counterpart to [[cranky]] [[villager]]s. They wake up at 11:00 AM in {{NL|short}}, or 9:30 AM in {{NH|short}}, and go to bed at 3:00 AM. There are currently 24 sisterly [[villager]]s, 5 of which appeared in the previous games with a different personality; sisterly is thus the least common personality.

===Behaviors===
 
===Behaviors===
Big sister [[villager]]s are often depicted as stubborn, rude, and easily offended at first glance, in a similar manner to [[cranky]] [[villager]]s, who also have a hostile behavior. Big sister villagers also speak with gruff, accented voices, similar to the deep voices cranky villagers use, in reference to their "tough" attitudes. As a result of this, they are seen as a sort of tomboy, as they occasionally talk about enjoying fighting, and express an 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. Despite this tough exterior, however, big sister villagers are kind and empathetic deep down. They may act like an older sister when befriended, and may even give the [[player]] [[medicine]] (or in {{NH|short}}, the [[DIY]] recipe for it) if talked to after being stung by [[bee]]s or [[wasp]]s.

The personality is likely derived from the behavior of [[Peppy|peppy]] [[Islander|islanders]] in {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}}, specifically [[Elina]], [[Flossie]], and [[Plucky]], alongside [[Charlise]], [[Koharu]], and [[Violet]] in ''e''+, who behave similarly to the big sister villagers. However, only Charlise and Plucky return with the big sister personality, with the rest of the peppy islanders not appearing in any other ''Animal Crossing'' game other than the [[first generation|First generation]] games.
+
In {{HHD}} sisterly [[villager]]s lose most of the empathetic and sisterly charm of their personality to embrace instead a more tomboyish, tough, mischievous and sarcastic inclination. As such, more than the "big sister" stereotype, they seem more akin to a somewhat watered-down image of the Japanese [[wikipedia:Sukeban|sukeban]], or "boss girl". Natural partygoers and thrill-seekers, sisterly [[villager]]s despise boredom and show little concerns for social conventions - eager to shout while waiting for food in the [[Restaurant|restaurant]] and presenting themselves as the classic loafer and cocky student at [[School|school]], or joshingly asking the player to switch roles while working at the [[Shop|shops]]. However, they still show traces of their caring nature, worrying for the player's health and questioning their busy schedule if talked in their homes.

In the Japanese version of the series, sisterly villagers speak with the [[wikipedia:Kansai dialect|Kansai region's dialect]], which is distinguished from the standard Japanese dialect by elongated vowels and differing pitch intonations (emulated in their [[Animalese]] vocals). The Kansai dialect also has somewhat different grammar from standard Japanese, such as the usage of "uchi" as a personal pronoun; the English localization replicates this by having sisterly villagers use slang such as abbreviating "-ing" to "-in'" and "them" to "'em".

Additionally, similar to [[cranky]] villagers' signature "Gahaha!" and [[lazy]] villagers' "Ah huh huh huh!", big sister villagers gain a signature laugh in {{NH}}: "Bwahaha!"
 
 
 
In {{NL}}, big sister villagers go to sleep at 3:00 AM and wake up at 11:00 AM. In {{NH}}, they usually go to sleep at 3:00 AM and wake up at 9:30 AM.
 
  
 
===Relationships===
 
===Relationships===
Big sister villagers find it easy to get along with most villagers: [[peppy]] and [[normal]] villagers will admire big sister villagers and see them as an older sister, and often they have common interests. [[Jock]] villagers will also admire how rigid and tough they are, allowing them to get along easily as well. Big sister villagers will also express admiration for [[smug]] and [[snooty]] villagers for their elegant lifestyles, but may come into conflict with them if the wrong things are said. Cranky villagers will directly clash with big sister villagers, due to both personalities being strongly opinionated. If their opinions match, however, big sister villagers can become close friends with a cranky villager due to both having hostile personalities. Big sister villagers can also get into fights with [[lazy]] villagers.

**Additionally, no [[chicken]], [[eagle]], or [[horse]] villagers initially had the big sister personality. However, {{NLWa|short}} would bring back [[Plucky]] with said personality while {{NH|short}} introduced one villager of each of the latter species with said personality, being [[Quinn]] and [[Reneigh]], respectively.
+
**Additionally, no [[Horse]] villagers initially had the Sisterly personality, but {{NH}} did introduce a Sisterly Horse, [[Reneigh]].
*The bear is the species with the most amount of big sister villagers, being the only one with three. However, prior to {{NL|short|nolink}}, they all had different personalities, with [[Ursala]] being [[snooty]], and [[Paula]] and [[Charlise]] being [[peppy]]; this is because the big sister personality did not exist until {{NL|short}}.
+
*Sisterly is the only personality that has all of its villagers appear in {{NH}}.
*No big sister villagers have the fashion or nature [[hobby]] in {{NH|short|nolink}}.
+
*The Bear is the species with the most amount of Sisterly villagers, being the only one with three. Ironically, they all had different personalities prior to New Leaf, with [[Ursala]] being [[Snooty]], and [[Paula]] and [[Charlise]] being [[Peppy]].
**They also share their lack of the fashion hobby with [[jock]], [[cranky]], and [[smug]] villagers.
+
*The Sheep is the only species to have more than one Sisterly villagers in {{NL|short|nolink}} onward without either being a new species introduced in that game or having a villager who changed her old personality.
