Sterling is a jock, eagle villager from the Animal Crossing series. His first appearance was in Animal Crossing: City Folk, followed by Animal Crossing: New Leaf. His name comes from the "sterling silver," which is what his helmet is made out of. It can also be based on "starling", a type of bird. His Japanese name is a reference to Ginkaku-ji, also known as the Silver Pavilion.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Sterling wears a knight helmet and a Scale Armor Suit. He is a blue eagle with a red, orange, and yellow beak, making him more resemble a toucan, rather than eagle. He also has an appearance similar to Knox, due to having a knight-like outfit. He is one of the few villagers to wear headgear.

Personality[edit]

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

As a jock villager, Sterling will have an interest in physical fitness and sports making him appear competitive when talking to other villagers and the player. He will, despite his competitiveness, appear friendly towards the player but he may offend other villagers, usually snooty or cranky villagers, when he criticizes their fitness and physical appearance, usually making them walk off angry or upset. He will find it difficult to talk to lazy villagers, who have an opposite choice of lifestyle - appearing relaxed and calm, with an no interest in physical fitness and an interest in food.
