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 they and them pronouns.

Like the main villagers, 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. The player can receive a [[tan]] by sunbathing during summer.

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.

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 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.

Though players are not the only humans in the {{SER|nolink}}, as [[Mom]] and [[Dad]] occasionally [[letter]]s send letters to them, they are only the humans present in gameplay. In spite of Mom referring to childhood events and the home that the player once lived in, and occasionally sending presents in the mail, there is no indication of any real backstory to the human character(s).

In all games except {{NH}}, the player's face is determined by a series of questions that the introductory character asks.

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.

In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', one of the microgames involves the player taking control of a character, the gender corresponding to that of the controller's. The player must pull the Wii Remote up at the correct time to catch a fish.

====In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a number of human characters appear in the background of [[Smashville]]. Both the male and the female players are available as stickers, while the male character is also available as a trophy named "Animal Crossing Boy."

===In ''Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8''===

Two genders of villagers, based on their default appearances from {{NL|short|nolink}}, have made a guest appearance in the [[Wii U]] game [[mariowiki:Mario Kart 8|Mario Kart 8]] as part of the ''[[Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8]]'' downloadable content pack (along with [[Isabelle]] and [[mariowiki:Dry Bowser|Dry Bowser]] from the ''Mario'' series), where they again are known as '''Villager'''. They do not make voice effects, but they will make a variety of [[emotions]] and the sound effects associated with them depending on the situation. Both villagers are classified as a middleweight, indicating average stats. Both villager types weigh slightly less than Mario and Luigi, but the male villager weighs more and has higher speed than the female villager, while the female villager has better acceleration, handling, traction, and off-road stats. Villager also returns as a playable character in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
