Bubbles is a peppy hippo villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori, and after her appearance in Doubutsu no Mori e+, she remained absent from the series until Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Her name may refer to how hippos blow bubbles while underwater.

In New Horizons, Bubbles has the fashion hobby and may be seen wearing a pink purse with a white flower on it, as well as a specific headwear or accessory item.

Characteristics

Artwork of Bubbles from Animal Crossing.

Appearance

Bubbles is an orange hippo with small black circles for eyes and flaring nostrils. Her hair is brown. Her hands and feet are tan. The inside of her ears and mouth are pink.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the peppy personality. For more information, click here.

As a peppy villager, Bubbles will have the tendency to over-react in conversations about trivial subjects such as appearing in competitions and the chance of her losing. This sometimes triggers her to ask for a certain item of clothing or furniture which she needs to enter a competition. She, like other peppy villagers, will rarely be discouraged from doing anything, including the usual hobbies. She will also have a short attention span, which means she will soon forget arguments or tasks given to the player which were not completed. She may ask the player; "Sooo, how am I dressed today?" The player is presented with a slide-bar indicating Kinda slobby... and Super formal! Moving the bar close to Super formal! will make her happy.
