The player, also known as the animal crosser, is a term used for the human character in the Animal Crossing series that is controlled by a human or the "real-life" person playing the game. 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.

Overview

Players, like the main villagers, are short and stubby. The largely-physical differences may become blurred even further due to the fact that Harriet will allow the player to get haircuts of the other gender if one has had all hairstyles of their gender from her. Kick will also allow the player to wear shoes of the opposite gender after enough shoe shines have been bought. There are several unalterable differences, however.

The female character will always wear a dress, while the male character will always wear shorts, and the female character's default hat is a cone-shaped "princess cap", while the male character's resembles a spiked Viking helmet. These hats are used in Animal Crossing as the only hairstyle or head wear. Even though they are not the only human

Only one human from each town may be active at any given time, although in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, visiting players from other games could be in town at the same time.

Appearances

In each game, the player's face is determined by a series of questions that the introductory character asks.

In Wild World

Kapp'n asks you three questions that determine how your character will look like. The questions are as follows:

  • Do you like the rain?
    • No.
    • Yes.
  • Why are you going there?
    • I'm moving.
    • None of your business.
  • Do you have any money?
    • No.
    • Yes.

The questions and answers are worded differently, but you get the same face. The way your face is arranged can be determined when you answer them in a certain way.

Boy

Description The male player character from Animal Crossing. He feels the need to set out on his own and move into town. Chatting with neighbors is a given, but there are a ton of other things to do as well, like collecting furniture, customizing rooms, catching fish and bugs, digging up fossils, etc. He may get bee stung or fall in a pit, but he still has fun.
