Lottie is a river otter[1] in the Animal Crossing series who made her first appearance in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. She is Lyle's niece.[1] Her name likely derives from her species.
Prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, she worked for Nook's Homes and serves as a guide for players as they designed homes. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise, she is the founder of Paradise Planning, a company that specializes in creating dream vacation homes for villagers.
Lottie is a pink river otter with brown hair tied into a bun. She has small round eyes with three black eyelashes each, three freckles each below her eyes, a blackish-brown nose with a white oval dot, orange inner ears, and a 3-shaped smiling mouth with darkish-red inside. Without makeup, her eyes are small.
In Happy Home Designer, amiibo Festival, Welcome amiibo and Pocket Camp, like the other employees in Nook's Homes, Lottie wears a red uniform with white buttons, along with a navy skirt and a yellow necktie. She also wears an aqua/blackish-gray hair ribbon with white polka dots and aqua/black shoes.
In New Horizons and Happy Home Paradise, Lottie no longer wears her Nook's Homes employee outfit, instead wearing a Paradise Planning muumuu, an aqua hair tie with a cream-colored flower, an aqua bracelet, and aqua sandals.
Lottie is cheerful and hard-working. When the player gains specific Paradise Planning designer titles, she then invites the player, Niko and Wardell for parties on the Paradise Planning office's second floor, in the café or in the restaurant.
Although Lottie is absent in the original release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, she appears in the Welcome amiibo update, showing the player how to use the bottom screen to move furniture after building the Secret Storage extension. She can also be seen after successfully connecting Happy Home Designer data to the game, invited by Isabelle, and mails the player the Nook's Homes model.
Lottie appears in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as part of the Happy Home Paradise paid expansion. Tom Nook will introduce the player to Lottie at the airport once Resident Services has been upgraded. Lottie explains that she used to work for Tom Nook, but has since moved to the archipelago to establish her own business, Paradise Planning. Her plan for the business to design custom vacation homes for tourists. At Tom Nook's recommendation, she recruits the player to work for her as a designer, before departing via plane.
When the player arrives to start work at Paradise Planning, Lottie leads their induction, and formally introduces them to her employees; Niko, a knowledgeable local who can ferry the player between the different islands of the archipelago, and Wardell, who is responsible for furniture procurement and the office gift shop. Lottie operates the front desk, and deals with administration. The player must speak with her whenever they wish to start or finish work, prompting the player to immediately change into or out of their work uniform.
After the player offers to design a home for a potential client, Lottie will hold meeting with both to discuss requirements for the design. Upon successful completion of a job, Lottie will pay the player in Poki. The amount received is proportional to the type of job, or how closely the player followed a client's vision, as well as their job rank. When the player reaches milestones for the total number of design projects completed, Lottie will offer to host a celebration at the office with the other employees. When completing facilities, she will offer to host a celebration inside the facility itself.
After completing 20 home designs, Lottie will task the player with making preparations for a music festival to be held on the main island. The player must design a further 10 homes, as well as the hospital and apparel shop facilities. Once the player has completed these tasks, the festival is held on the main island, headlined by DJ KK. Lottie travels to the northern beach with Niko, Wardell, and the player to enjoy the festivities. Afterwards, the team celebrate their success, before Wardell reveals that he is personal friends with DJ KK. Lottie reacts with shock, before quietly pondering if Wardell can obtain DJ KK's autograph for her. When everyone returns to the office, Lottie teaches the player several dance move reactions.
If the player designs Lottie's home, she will send them her photo. Lottie's poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after inviting her to Photopia via her amiibo card. If summoned to The Roost, she will also bring along Niko and Wardell. If Lyle is invited to The Roost, Lottie will accompany him along with Tom Nook and Digby.
Lottie is the receptionist at Nook's Homes in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. She also helps train the player and talks them through the process of preparing a villager's house, before arriving at the site, like letting the player choose a site and a layout. Lottie also can help the player log onto Happy Home Network and change the settings for the network. Lottie is seen every day at her desk, typing. Talking to her normally results in suggestions to drum up business; however, rarely, she can be seen without mascara, and she talks about that instead.
In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Lottie hosts multiple garden events, these include the Gothic Rose Festival and the Wedding Expo event. Lottie is later given a larger role in this game as the host of Happy Homeroom, an area similar in design to Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.
