Paula is a bear villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori e+ with a peppy personality and remained absent from the series until Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where she returns with a big sister personality.

In New Horizons, Paula has the fitness hobby and will wear sporty shades and lift heavy dumbbells while exercising.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Paula is a brown bear. She has blonde hair and a head-band. The inside of her ears are beige, and she wears blue eyeshadow.

Personality[edit]

Paula has two different personalities throughout the series. She debuted as a peppy villager in Doubutsu no Mori e+ and a big sister villager in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]

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

Paula has a peppy personality in Doubutsu no Mori e+; she will always have a positive attitude and will often invite players to hang out. She will get along with most villagers, but her jaunty personality may annoy cranky and snooty villagers.

New Leaf onwards[edit]

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

Paula reappears in Animal Crossing: New Leaf with a big sister personality. She acts similar to a snooty villager, but she is more caring toward the player and less arrogant. She sometimes disagrees with cranky and snooty villagers because they spread rumors and may seem offensive.

Villager information[edit]
