'''Farley''' is a [[special character]] in {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}} who gives the [[player]] the [[axe|Golden Axe]]. He appears at the [[wishing well]] after the player's [[town]] maintains a perfect [[Environment rating|Field Rank]] for 15 consecutive days and does not appear again after the Golden Axe is received. 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. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, [[Serena]] plays a similar role to Farley.

Farley is a special character in Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+. 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 him.

Farley is one of two special characters, along with Franklin, who was introduced in Animal Crossing and does not appear in Doubutsu no Mori or Doubutsu no Mori+. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Serena plays a similar role to Farley, appearing at the fountain and giving the player the golden axe.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

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. He wears a teal hat with a magenta flower sticking out of it, and he carries a wooden staff.

While his species is unknown, he seems to be visually similar to a Nisse, a type of gnome. Much like Farley, gnomes in folklore often have a fondness for nature as well.

Voice[edit]

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[edit]

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. He appears to have magical abilities, which could explain why scanning villager E-Reader cards at the Wishing Well in Doubutsu no Mori e+ causes them to move in.

Appearances[edit]

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]

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."
