The '''player''', also known as the '''villager''' or '''boy/girl''', is a term used for the playable human character in the {{SER}}. The player may be either a boy or a girl; the differences in all games are largely cosmetic and with slight variations to some dialogue whenever the conversation becomes gender specific. However, in the English language text of {{NH}}, gender is instead referred to as 'style', and all villagers will refer to the player with gender neutral pronouns.

Just like the animal [[villager]]s, the design of the player characters has changed noticeably across the course of the series. Generally, the line between male and female players has become less concrete with each new installment, and the characters themselves have become more customizable.

In {{DnM}} and its GameCube ports, players are short and stubby with large heads and relatively slim limbs. The female and male player models are distinguished through their [[hat]]s and [[clothing]]. The female character's hat is a cone-shaped "princess cap", while the male character's resembles a spiked Viking helmet. Designs that are worn will always use the same pattern, but vary between a dress for female characters and a shirt for male characters, with the pattern also applying to the hat. The player's face and default clothing are determined by questions answered upon starting the game. While light-skinned by default, the player can receive a [[tan]] by sunbathing during summer.

In {{WW}}, headwear was made into its own category of clothing that can be swapped out or removed, allowing the characters' hair and ears to be seen for the first time. Facial accessories can also be worn. [[Harriet]] allows the player to get [[hairstyle|haircuts]], changing the hair's style and color, and she will allow hairstyles from the other gender to be selected if one has had all hairstyles of one's gender from her.

In {{CF}}, the player can have their [[shoes]] shined by [[Kicks]], which will change their color. The other gender's shoes can be worn after having Kicks shine one's shoes 16 times. Also, the [[Mii mask]] can be worn to give a character a Mii's head.

 

The player characters were redesigned to be taller and slimmer in {{NL}} (a change which remained in all future installments), and the clothing system was overhauled. Tops, bottoms, and dresses are now individual categories of clothing — boys can now wear skirts and dresses, and girls can now wear pants and shorts. Shoes and socks are now separate articles of clothing as well, so the player can mix and match styles, or go barefoot. Gender now primarily determines which dialogue is displayed, as well as the color of the player's [[Town Pass Card]]. Face and hair styles are still locked by gender, though the other gender's hairstyles can still be unlocked from Harriet.

 

In {{HHD}}, {{PC}}, and {{NH}}, the player can freely select their face style, hairstyle, and skintone, and change it at any time. This also means that tanning is no longer a feature past {{NL|nolink}}.

 

In {{NH}}, players are referred to by gender as little as possible, depending on the language, and are referred to with gender-neutral pronouns in the English version. Accordingly, no clothing or other visible aspects of the player's appearance are locked by gender. Although it has no impact on their appearance, one of two "styles" is selected for the cases where a language must use gendered terms. [[Bag]]s are introduced as a new form of clothing, and wardrobes now allow for changing all clothing items at once.

 

 

Before {{NH|nolink}}, only one player from each town could be active at any given time, although in {{WW}}, {{CF}}, and {{NL}}, visiting players (over Wi-Fi) from other games are allowed in town at the same time.

 

Players rarely talk aside from answering questions, remarking about an accomplishment, and talking in [[Happy Home Showcase]].

In the main series prior to {{NH|nolink}}, the player's face is determined by a series of questions that the introductory character asks, and it cannot be changed afterwards.

===In {{PG|nolink}}===

In {{PG}}, the player's face style is determined through the answers given to the first three questions [[Rover]] asks at the beginning of the game while riding the [[train]] to [[town]]. The fourth answer will determine if the player's answers will be taken into account for generating their appearance. If "Oh yeah!" is chosen as the answer to that question, the player's prior answers are ignored and their face will be randomized.

In {{WW}}, the player's face style is determined through the answers given to the questions [[Kapp'n]] asks at the beginning of the game while in the [[taxi]].

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===

In {{CF}}, the player's face style is determined through the answers given to the questions [[Rover]] asks at the beginning of the game while riding the [[bus]]. All the player appearances are the same as in {{WW|short}}, though the order of answers given to determine certain appearances has changed.

{| class="styled color-special" style="margin: 0 auto; text-align: center;"

! rowspan=2 style="width:200px;"          | First question

! rowspan=2 style="width:200px;"          | Second question

| rowspan=2 | You're right.

| It's a secret!

| style="border-radius: 0;" | Don't worry.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===

In {{NL}}, [[Rover]] asks the player questions while they are boarding the train. Depending on the questions answered, the player can get various facial styles including hair style, randomly-colored eyes, and the starting outfit. The starting shirt will be different depending on when players make their villager; if they have created in from spring to summer, they are wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and from fall to winter, they are wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

On June 11, 2013, Nintendo revealed their new [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|''Super Smash Bros.'']] video game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]] at {{Wp|E3|E3 2013}}, featuring the "Villager" (むらびと, ''Murabito'') as a new playable character.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/villager.html Smash Bros. - Villager]</ref> The Villager is a boy with brown hair, wearing a red shirt with a light-blue number "1" printed on the front. The Villager's in-game moves include the ability to attack other players using a net, trapping them in pitfalls, and chopping down trees to cause damage. He is based on the default appearance for male characters, particularly from {{CF}}. Other seven skins are available, each with a different appearance, and alternating genders between male and female for a total of four skins representing each gender.
