'''Farley''' is a [[special character]] in {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}} who gives the [[player]] the [[axe|Golden Axe]].

Farley, along with [[Franklin]], is the only character in {{PG}} to not appear in either {{DnM}} or {{DnM+}}; the Golden Axe does not appear in the former, and it is given to the player by the shrine in the latter.

He is a spirit of the wishing well[1] who appears briefly after the town has maintained a perfect Field Rank for 15 days and gives the player the Golden Axe. Due to his single brief appearance, little is revealed about Farley.

Characteristics

Appearance

Artwork from Animal Crossing.

Farley is a short, humanoid figure covered almost entirely by his long white hair, with the only visible parts of his body being his arms and round, bulbous nose. His species is unknown. He wears a teal hat with a magenta flower sticking out of it, and he carries a wooden staff.

Voice

Farley is one of two characters in Animal Crossing who has a unique voice from all other characters. The other character who shares this trait is Joan.

Possible role

This section contains unconfirmed information or speculation.

Based on Farley's dialog, the fact that a statue of him appears on the wishing well, and Animal Crossing: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide calling him "the well spirit," Farley's job may be to watch over the environment of the town, unbeknownst to its residents. He may also be the disembodied voice that speaks to the player when interacting with the wishing well.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+

Farley at the wishing well in Animal Crossing

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+, if the player chooses the "How are things?" option at the wishing well after the town has had a perfect Field Rank for 15 consecutive days, Farley appears and gives the player the Golden Axe as a token of his gratitude. He then disappears and can never be encountered again by that player.

Only appearing for a short time in a single encounter, Farley has the least amount of dialogue of any character in Animal Crossing:

"<Player>...
One as caring as you can
be easily trusted with
an axe that never breaks.
May you use it to continue
in your meticulous care for
the environment of
<Town>.
It is filled with my utmost
gratitude for your efforts."
