Piper is a peppy bird villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori, and after her appearance in Doubutsu no Mori e+, she remained absent from the series until Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo. Data for her exists in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer but ultimately remains unused. Her name and catchphrase allude to two different types of birds: her name is derived from the sandpiper, while her catchphrase is "chickadee."

In New Horizons, Piper has the play hobby and can run around with her arms extended at any time, rather than only outside Resident Services during a scripted activity with a group of villagers.

Characteristics

Artwork of Piper from Animal Crossing.

Appearance

Piper is a white bird with black, half-closed eyes and eyelashes. Additionally, she has a red beak and feet. Although her name alludes to sandpipers, her design appears to be based on an albino Java sparrow, a species native to the islands of Indonesia (hence her Indonesian-themed outfit in the original game, and her hotel-themed house throughout the series). Java sparrows are popular pets in Japan, and albino ones in particular have striking pure-white plumage, matching Piper's appearance.

Personality

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

Piper has a peppy personality. She gets along with most other villagers, but may annoy snooty and cranky villagers with her excited and expressive personality. She is typically eager and easy-going and is the female equivalent of a jock.
