Patty is a peppy cow villager in the Animal Crossing series who appears in all games to date. Her name comes from "beef patty," which relates to her species, and her catchphrase, "how-now," comes from "How now brown cow," a phrase that helps children learn rounded vowel sounds.

In New Horizons, Patty 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[edit]

Artwork of Patty from Animal Crossing.

Appearance[edit]

Patty is a chocolate brown cow with a peach snout, yellow horns and hooves, as well as a tuft of brunette hair.

Personality[edit]

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

Patty is a peppy villager, meaning she will appear quite stubborn and forgetful, usually forgetting any small arguments she may have had with other villagers and the player, she will also appear very hyper. As a peppy villager, she will have an interest in sugary snacks, and reading Ms. Nintendique magazine - a magazine read by both peppy and snooty villagers. She, like other peppy villagers, may claim to have appeared in the magazine.

    In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if Patty is one of the villagers who moved in during the main storyline after the villager house development quest, her house will have a combination of non-craftable furniture, plus items crafted by players during the island development storyline, primarily from the Wooden Block Series. She cannot have her initial house interior unless she moves out of the player's island or the Happy Home Paradise DLC is purchased, in which either the player or Isabelle can reset the interior.
