'''Jay''' is a [[jock]] [[bird]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}} who appears in all games to date. His English name is derived from the species of bird of the {{Wp|Jay|same name}}, although there are no jays that have red heads like the villager. His Japanese name is the katakana writing of the kanji 燕 (Tsubakuro), "Swallow" (the species of bird). Also, his forked tail, red head, blue body, and white belly suggest a {{Wp|barn swallow}} or a {{Wp|wire-tailed swallow}}. His Japanese name is also derived from "comfort" or "enjoy."

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Jay DnM.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Jay from {{DnM}}.]]
Jay is a bird, with blue, red, and white feathers and an orange beak and feet, and is similar to a swallow. He is similar to [[Robin]], another bird villager.

===Personality===
{{Pers|jock}}

As a [[jock]] villager, Jay is energetic and has an interest in physical fitness and activity. He often talks about exercise or sports and may brag about his physical fitness. While often friendly to the player, he may comment on their fitness. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with [[peppy]] villagers due to their similar hyper personalities and will also get along with [[smug]] villagers, while he may offend [[snooty]] villagers by critiquing their fitness and annoy [[cranky]] villagers with his hyper personality. In {{NH|short}}, Jay goes to sleep at 12:30 AM and wakes up at 6:30 AM.

In {{NH}}, if Jay is one of the starter villagers, his house will have craftable items primarily from the [[Wooden Series]]. He cannot have his initial house interior unless he moves out of the player's island or the {{HHP|short}} DLC is purchased, in which either the player or [[Isabelle]] can reset the interior.
