Grams is an elderly turtle[nb 1] in Animal Crossing: New Leaf who appears on Tortimer Island. She is the mother of Kapp'n, mother-in-law of Leilani, and grandmother of Leila. Her name is similar to the word "gram," an uncommon abbreviation of the word "grandmother."

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Grams from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Grams is a green turtle/kappa with a bald spot surrounded by white hair, a big yellow muzzle, a red inner mouth, and red lipstick, being the oldest in her family. Like her son, Kapp'n, and granddaughter, Leila, she has closed eyes with white round rims, albeit also having eyelashes, with each eye having two. She wears a coral-shaped hairpin, and an orangish-yellow dress with white flower patterns with orange linings.

Personality[edit]

Like her family, Grams speaks with a stereotypical pirate-like accent.

Grams

Description NTSC-U: The eldest turtle on the tropical island, Grams runs the souvenir counter. She'll trade you island-themed goods in exchange for the medals you earned during tours. Among the things she sells are flower-patterned muumuus, but Leila thinks they look best on Grams.

PAL: Want ocean-themed souvenirs? Look no further than the shop on Tortimer Island! They don't even cost a single Bell - Grams only takes medals. You might be tempted by the adorable muumuus on sale, but no one could look better in one than Grams herself. At least, that's what her granddaughter, Leila, thinks.
