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]

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.
Appearances[edit]
In New Leaf[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Grams appears on Tortimer Island and runs a shop where the player can purchase unique items in exchange for medals. In the Welcome amiibo update, Grams's Pic can be obtained from Wisp if her amiibo is scanned.
In New Horizons[edit]
Grams was added in the 2.0 update of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, appearing if any of Kapp'n's family is invited to the Roost via amiibo. Additionally, Grams's poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after inviting her to Photopia via her amiibo.
Other appearances[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
Grams has a possible chance of appearing in the background of the stage Tortimer Island, and appears as a trophy.
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. | |
