'''Blathers''' is an [[owl]] in the {{SER}} who first appeared in {{DnM+}}. He is the curator of the [[museum]], accepting donations of [[fish]], [[bug]]s, [[sea creature]]s, and [[art]]. He is knowledgeable, usually giving information on anything donated to the museum. As an owl, he sleeps during the daylight hours, but the player can still donate by talking to him and waking him up. His name comes from ''blather'', meaning voluble talk, referring to his lengthy explanations of items donated to the museum.

'''Blathers''' (フータ, ''Fūta'') is an owl scholar, who first appeared in {{PG}} and has appeared in every {{SER}} game since. He is the curator for the [[museum]], and accepts donations such as [[fish]], [[bug]]s, [[fossil]]s and [[painting]]s. Blathers can also give the [[player]] information on the museum, such as exhibitions, what has been donated and by who. His name comes from the word "blather," which means to babble or speak rapidly without making much sense. He is very knowledgeable and informative, usually giving information on any object donated to the museum, and he will often apologize for his lengthy explanations. As an owl, he sleeps during the daylight hours, but the player can still donate by talking to him and waking him up.
 
 
Blathers has a younger sister named [[Celeste]] who first appears in {{WW|short}}, and later joins him in {{CF|short}}, {{NL|short}}, and {{NH|short}}. She works in the museum with him in the former three games.
 
 
 
==Characteristics==
 
===Appearance===
 
[[File:Blathers PG.png|thumb|right|100px|Artwork of Blathers from {{PG}}.]]
 
Blathers is a brown-feathered owl with a pair of big pink round cheeks, a yellow beak, and a pair of large, feathered eyebrows with light-brown dots. He possesses a cream-colored face with a pair of large white eyes with black pupils, as well as a white and light-brown checkered chest (similar to an argyle sweater) with a green bow tie. On the sides of his body exist a pair of large wings, which he uses as arms, as well as a pair of yellow talons with dark-brown stripes and white sharp toenails used as legs. He also has white linings almost reaching to his black hands and tail's end.
 
 
 
In {{NL}}, Blathers is redesigned to have more human-like proportions, such as a larger chest, and longer wings.
 
 
 
===Personality===
 
Blathers is a dignified, proper individual who speaks in a refined manner. He is knowledgeable on all of the subjects donated to the museum, offering detailed explanations of each and being able to discern real art from forgeries.
 
 
 
However, despite being a museum curator who must accept bugs as part of his donations, Blathers apparently has entomophobia, being disgusted when the player donates a bug to him and reluctantly accepting the donation. When asked to describe a bug species, he will do so in a highly contemptuous and repulsed manner.
 
 
 
Being an owl, Blathers sleeps during daytime, even while tending to the museum, and will always wake up at 6 PM. He can be woken up if the player wishes to talk to him, however.
 
 
 
===Background===
 
As a child, he was brought up in the [[city]] with his sister [[Celeste]], living in his parent's house. After finishing school, he went on to university, completing a number of degrees until reaching the doctorate level. Before he could complete his studies, he was approached by his professor, who recommended that he take up a post in a country museum, as all the curators of the main [[Farway Museum]] refused to move from their posts. Blathers accepted the offer enthusiastically and despite occasional homesickness, he remains at his post. As a result of this move, Blathers still has not finished his doctorate. Blathers is, as confirmed in {{WW|short|nolink}}, in his mid-twenties.<ref>https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/920786-animal-crossing-wild-world/faqs/44202</ref>
 
 
 
===Relationships===
 
====Celeste====
 
Blathers and [[Celeste]] are siblings who help one another, as Celeste is seen working with Blathers in the museum, even if they share conflicting interests. Blathers has overacted numerous times to the sight of insects while Celeste was in his presence, leading Blathers to condemn himself and believe himself to be a "substandard" brother to her. Because of this, Blathers sees himself as someone needing to redeem himself to his sister, wondering if he should take her on certain activities that she may enjoy. Celeste sometimes refers to Blathers by the nickname "Blathie."
 
  
====Brewster====
+
He has a disgust for bugs and always mention it this when a bug is donated to him. He has a sister named [[Celeste]] who appears in {{WW}},
Blathers considers [[Brewster]], an employee at his museum, to be somewhat "simple." Blathers has described Brewster to be "entertaining" to him as a result, though he does not mean to insult him, as shown when he struggles to find a right word to describe him. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, Blathers describes Brewster as an old friend and allows the mayor to unlock [[the Roost Café]] as a public works project.
+
{{CF}}, and {{NL}}, who manages the observatory. Blathers was seen on the cover of {{PG}}, standing on the roof.
  
====Redd====
+
==History==
Blathers has encountered [[Redd]] a few times in the past, perhaps explaining his ability to discern real art from forgeries.

In {{PG}}, Blathers is the owner and manager of the town Museum, and during the day can be seen sleeping. When spoken to, Blathers tells the player about a correspondence course in [[fossil]] identification that he is participating in (he has expressed wishes of being an archaeologist) which he has not completed, meaning that all fossils have to be sent to the [[Farway Museum]] to be identified.

Due to the museum being absent in the original {{DnM}}, Blathers does not appear until its enhanced GameCube port, {{PG}}, is released. In this game, Blathers is the owner and manager of the town Museum, and during the day can be seen sleeping.

Blathers sometimes talks of his encounters with bugs during his studies. He recalls one time in a library, when he opened a book and maggots fell out. He will also mention his fear of [[cockroach]]es when one is donated to the museum. If the player donates a bug that has been donated previously, he will reject it and beg the player to keep the cage closed until the player has left the building.

When fish are donated, Blathers usually talks about how the fish tastes, similar to [[Chip]], the host of the fishing tourney.

In ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'', Blathers is in the museum again, having the same role as previous games. He can now identify multiple [[fossil]]s at once, as well as accepting multiple donations at once. However, when the [[player]] donates to the [[museum]], he does not talk ('blather') as much as in previous games, stopping himself mid-sentence just before going into a monologue. At some point in the game, Blathers requests a museum renovation as a [[public works project]]. When this is built, a second floor was added to the museum, managed by [[Celeste]]. Also, after this renovation is made, Blathers will, at some point, request [[The Roost]] as a public works project. This building, unlike previous titles, is separate from the museum.

Blathers returns in {{NH}}. He has the same role like in previous main series games: that of a museum curator. Soon after the player's arrival on the deserted island, Tom Nook will let them know how to craft a bug net and a fishing rod. He will also ask the player to show him any bug or fish specimen caught. Tom Nook will ask the player to give him these specimens because he wants to show them to a friend of his. Once the player has given Tom Nook five different specimens of fish or bugs, Tom Nook will call Blathers on his NookPhone to invite him to come and visit the player's deserted island. He will then turn to the player and ask them to select a spot on the island to raise Blathers's tent.

Blathers will show up in his tent the day after the player has selected a spot for his tent. Once introduced to the player, he will ask for more critters, highlighting the fact that once he has collected a further 15 specimens he will then be able to secure permission to open up a proper museum in order to show them to the public. The feature of Blathers telling the player about their donated items has returned from games prior to {{NL|nolink}}, but unlike in those games, the player is allowed to choose whether they want to hear the explanation or not. The player can also bring him bugs, fish, fossils and sea creatures in order to hear an explanation on them at any time, regardless of whether they have already been donated or not. The art collection retains its reading ability from {{NL|short|nolink}}.

Blathers is a large, brown-feathered owl with two pink-colored cheeks and large, feathered eyebrows. He possesses a teal colored face with two large eyes, as well as a checkered chest with a green bow tie. On the sides of his body exist two large wings, which Blathers uses as arms, as well as two talons used as feet.

===Personality===
In {{HHD}}, Blathers will share a house with [[Celeste]].
+
Blathers is a dignified, proper individual with an ambitious spirit, dreaming for years of becoming an archaeologist in {{PG}}. Blathers speaks in a refined, dignified manner when spoken to, and may possibly have a British accent. As his name implies, Blathers is very talkative about museum-related subjects, going off on various tangents when an item is donated to the museum, before quickly apologizing to the player for going on a monologue. Blathers is shown to have a large dislike of insects, most notably when one is donated to the museum, where he has the tendency to react in shock and disgust. Even so, he manages to overcome this disgust and accept the donation.

====Celeste====
|special-character = yes
+
Blathers and [[Celeste]] are siblings who help one another, as Celeste is seen working with Blathers in the Museum, even if they share conflicting interests. Blathers has overacted numerous times to the sight of insects while Celeste was in his presence, leading Blathers to condemn himself and believe himself to be a "substandard" brother to her. Because of this, Blathers sees himself as someone needing to redeem himself to his sister, wondering if he should take her on certain activities that she may enjoy. Or, as put by Blathers, an "enjoyable time".
