the lore behind every single animal crossing character, i guess

from Isabelle to tom nook, kk slider and redd, let's look at every single special animal crossing character's lore, backstory, and details because why not.

Reese and Cyrus were already married in New Leaf. They have you "recreate" their wedding day for their anniversary in New Horizons. Cyrus calls her his wife after being introduced to a guy character for the first time in New Leaf.

[@nickk3077]

For a second I thought New Horizons expanded upon previous characters in an interesting way. Guess not...

[@the_cherry_mae]

@@Leeloo_the_fox pretty sure she just says "Don't go falling for my Cy-Guy", not specifying that he's her husband. I've played a lot of New Leaf over the years lol

[@nalon__]

The footage shown in this video also says that they're married

[@SolitareHeartz]

Maybe they got married after New Leaf? Cause I thought they were introduced as boyfriend and girlfriend.

[@mimi-xx]

@@SolitareHeartzthey literally talk about being married in the new leaf footage from this video.

[@vanyadolly]

The NPC gossip is one of the reasons Wild World is my favourite AC game. The wildest one by far was Phyllis feeling like she was being watched, and eventually catching Pete stalking her through the window. 😱

[@alexandraluster284]

Pete should’ve been arrested for that.

[@meimeihughes]

The reason Capt'n sings about cucumbers a lot is because in Japanese folklore it is believed if you offer a Kappa a cucumber they will prevent rivers from flooding. I guess since cucumbers are green and kinda watery they just associate them with Kappa.

[@Qardo]

Also, giving Kappas Cucumbers also prevents them from stealing children away. As Kappa favors eating children who water too close to rivers. To which they grab them and drag them under. In turn, drowning the poor child. All to be eaten.

[@sera-chan8194]

I need to add that (if not obvious by the comment already) Capt'n is not a sea turtle but a Kappa with is a Yokai of Japanese Folklore

[@litneyloxan]

If you play Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons Mineral Town you can throw cucumbers in the mine lake and Kappa will pop out to accept it lol but he only takes cucumbers

[@Sonkip0-0]

And kappa will eat your liver if you have consumed cucumbers and swim near them

[@TonyMiller.13]

🧑🏽‍🎨 Capt'n is Kappa..yes yes Not only associated with Floods and Stealing Children, but also Super Smart and a Gentleman. But don't Cross him or he'll eat your Heart, Liver and mostly Consume you starting with your FLESH!! Scary Stuff if you ask me.

[@DanielPereira-ey9nt]

A few extra details about Sable. She's 10 years older than Mabel and she loves soap operas About her relationship with Tom Nook. They were very close when they were young, they played together all the time and stargazed in the roof of the observatory at night. After leaving for the city Nook kept contact and frequently wrote letters to Sable which she would read before bed, she described them as "very cute". One day she received a wooden box, inside there was an incredibly beautiful high quality pair of scissors and a card from Nook wishing her a happy birthday, she had forgotten about her birthday because she was so busy and had no other friends to remind her, this combined with her knowing how much Nook was struggling in the city made her burst into tears, she still cries a little when remembering it. Sable prayed every night for Nook's safety and for his pure spirit to be protected from the harshness and apathy of the city, but alas he returned jaded and broken, "a completely different soul" as Sable said. We don't know how their relationship developed since then but Sable will still talk about him occasionally and mention things like how he has a beautiful singing voice

[@machinegunlament]

Big if true

[@shellytonz2856]

and this is why no other special character compares to how good Sable is

[@zapacunotres59]

My guess is he did everything after to help Sable. Even if he was jaded, she meant a lot to him. As time passed, he met good people and healed.

[@susangunn7426]

If you look behind her in the shop in acnh you can see those scissors in the basket 😊

[@whatever9097]

I find it hilarious that Red is in everyone’s backstory stirring up shit

[@creepywaffles4783]

I really would have loved it if Rover was in the waiting area in acnh. Like he’s waiting on some mystery plane on the seat next to you and y’all have a chat before the game starts. I really miss him. Not to mention his design too!

[@danielepistorio997]

You can meet him once a year on the 1st of may

[@jaredarenas7542]

Pre-release I thought it would've been a cool idea if he could be the flight attendant of the plane. It would fit with his traveling persona, and instead of having players stare at a black screen anytime they wanted to travel to a friend's island, they'd talk to Rover and he'd share tips about the game, like how Cappy does in Super Mario Odyssey. But alas, I don't work for Nintendo...

[@nickk3077]

Rover is such an interesting character. Like, if you do a bit of traveling, at some point I feel like you will eventually encounter someone just like him. Someone who goes out of their way to talk to you and get to know you before eventually parting ways and never seeing him again. It's something to think about. There are many people in this world, but there is so little time to know all of them. Rover is making the best out of this situation.

[@benamisai-kham5892]

It is true! I'm slightly traveled but I've met a lot of very interesting people that I had deep conversations with that I never seen again through the years and it was always really satisfying just knowing that they'd probably hold that conversation just as high as I did, even if we never see each other again.

[@jaredarenas7542]

Yes! I'm so glad to see some love for Rover in the comments. He's always been my favorite special character in the series, and despite how little we see of him compared to others in the franchise, he always had this feeling that there was more to his character than meets the eye. There was a popular theory during the New Leaf era that he was going to be the initial mayor of the town before the player got the role, which I was always a fan of

[@Alex_Silverpen]

a few things: -Blanca isn't *just* a faceless cat. She's a cat who, apparently, is a very messy eater and loves spaghetti. But she wiped at her face too hard when wiping off spaghetti sauce, causing her to eventually wipe her entire face off, leading to her current appearance. Back in the days of Wild World and City Folk, she'd travel over WiFi. Once I got her in my town and someone had drawn the Joker's face from Batman onto her face. Freaked me out. -The reason Wendell is in PJs in some footage is actually not because of him sleeping in and being late. In New Leaf, if the town you visited in a dream had custom designs that the dream uploader was willing to share with everyone, Wendell was how you got those designs. There was no kiosk like in dreams in New Horizons, it was Wendell.

[@kirbythings]

So here’s two really cute backstories one about Sable and one about Celeste So her big red bow was actually a gift by her brother one time her bday was coming up so Blathers decided to walk into Ables to get her sister a present, he walked into the woman section but got scared and chickened out. He later returned with more courage and when he walked into Mable who saw him run out before asked if he there was a problem, he told her about Celeste bday so Mable helped him pick out a big cute bow for his sister And for Sable, the pair of sisters she uses everyday was also a birthday gift but given to her by Tom Nook. It was recently after he left to become a big entrepreneur in the city, but he wasn’t making alot of money and knew it was Sables bday so he spent the only remaining money he had to buy her a nice pair of scissors which she uses everyday

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

I remember the story about blathers buying his sister a bow but had totally forgotten until now! Was it in Wild World?

[@vanyadolly]

@@ArtByKarenEHaley Yes! Wild World is so full of great dialogue with both the villagers and the special characters 😊

[@unlikelyspecimen244]

​@@vanyadollyabsolutely, idk how long I'd been playing but I remember being mystified when suddenly I got extra dialogue from the authority characters in wild world. I remember Nook once told a story of how Timmy and Tommy had tucked into one of his snacks (a pot of honey I think) because they were copying him and trying to be just like him. For some reason that stuck in my brain, inaccurate as it may be, but it humanised Nook to child-me lmao

[@DanielPereira-ey9nt]

Some quotes from Sable to make the story even sweeter. "Inside the wooden box there was a pair of beautiful burnt orange colored scissors, incredibly strong and sharp, the finest scissors I had ever laid my eyes on". "The enclosed letter said 'happy birthday Sable', so sweet, I was so busy with work I had forgotten it was my own birthday, to think he would remember". "I'm sure life in the city was hard for him at the time, and I knew his job paid poorly. So for him to buy me those scissors . . , when I think about it it makes me so happy that I cry"

[@LocalGhostSoru]

Something interesting about Copper and Booker is that Copper being an Akita is a native dog breed in Japan, the origin country of Animal Crossing, while Booker being a bulldog that originated from England might explain the language barrier

[@eepysheepz]

Kapp n talks about cucumbers a lot because his origin is the “kappa” (a Japanese yokai) that love cucumbers!!! If you research more things about them you will see things start to add up LOL

[@jadesherry5481]

I could be totally wrong, but I think Harriet's blue, white and red apron in CF was just meant to match a barber pole's colour scheme. Sure, poodles are often associated with France and all that, but her dialogue doesn't really sound French-influenced - for example, she calls you "shug", which isn't very French at all lol.

[@SolitareHeartz]

I was thinking the same thing with the barber pole. Also this is my headcannon Harriet is a Southern Belle like from New Orleans or something. That is just the vibe I got as a child playing the games. Or the 60s hairspry era lol. But I miss her and Shampoodle shop.

And if you scan CJ's Amiibo card in HHP, Flick will live in the same house. Also inviting one to the Roost will also bring the other. Idk, 2 people living together, vacationing together, calling each other "partners", sure as heck sounds like a romantic relationship.

Yeah pocket camp was made to have a longer lifespan than any other animal crossing game and therefore was given its own team of devs who just continued to develop new items and make the mainline players jealous 😂

[@nickk3077]

Watching this video makes me giddy about Animal Crossing... but then I remembered that Animal Crossing hasn't had much emphasis on characters in years, which SUCKS! When I think about the original Animal Crossing, so many ideas are novel. Like, Tom Nook is a tanuki, which in Japanese culture are known to be a little shifty and can change shape. This is represented in what he sells, which is furniture, which you can change into the shape of a leaf! Furthermore, many Japanese business have a tanuki statue to symbolize good luck! Brilliant! Then, we have the museum curator, which you would expect to be wise and knowledgeable, and of course they made that an owl! The old town mayor that is as old as the town itself is of course a turtle, one of the longest living creatures. The mail man has to have an easy way of traveling, so he is a bird that can fly. Of course, they could've left it there, but they decided to make 3 birds in charge of the mail service, with a love triangle between the three! I love what they also did with the police! Having one being an active akita and a lazy bulldog is so smart! I love it! Then, we got Joan, a boar that sells turnips. Boars are known for being a little secluded, but they can also eat turnips! The guy in charge of the fishing tournaments eats fish and the guy in charge of the bug tournaments eats bugs! Nowadays, I can't think of anything New Horizons did to really expand on this and most of the characters feel so flat to me. It's sad and it sorta removes the magic from Animal Crossing for me when there is nothing to say about the world.

[@jaredarenas7542]

To add onto this, Gulliver being a seagull that washes up on shore was super clever on Nintendo, since they're associated with the seas and beaches. Same with Redd having the appearance of a sly fox who tricks players into buying fake pieces of art. In the Japanese version he's labeled a Kitsune which are known to be enemies to Tanukis- the creature that Tom Nook is. SOO many ideas like this are why I was drawn to the game as a kid, and make me appreciate it much more as an adult

[@SnapshotOfASoul]

As for 28:27 - there's suggestion in the lore that your character moved from the human world to live with the animals! So all the real world locations would still exist - animals just live in a hidden world that humans rarely take part in.

In New Leaf, Rover actually refrences Animal crossing for the game cube, saying something along the lines of riding trains since some time in the 2000s (I took a picture with my phone, so I'll probably put the exact line of dialog here a bit later dw) I ran into this when I decided to make a new character in my old town and try to play it a bit again from the begining and somehow went: "Wait, isn't that when the original animal crossing came out?" even though I never knew what it was to be begin with xD Just a hunch I guess that ended up being true!

I wonder if Booker being an English (or whatever language you as the player choose) language learner is a weird translation thing where in the original Japanese, Copper is a very traditionally Japanese breed of dog, and Booker, as a bulldog, would be from somewhere else (likely England), where speaking Japanese is very uncommon. Either way I like the characterization that he probably moved from far away because he was interested in the country your town is in, and now he just wants to try and do his best to help the people who live there.

I absolutely love Animal Crossing and am obsessed with New Horizons, but the absolute biggest issue I have with it is that rovers not in the intro. it completely broke the rover introduction that every other game had

I always assumed part of the reason Leila offers so little for things is 1. Grams has stated they don't use Bells on the island, therefore Leila probably has very limited supply (she's also a child and wouldn't have that much anyway) and 2. It already made sense to me selling island items on the island wouldn't go for much because like... that's all they can get. It's like how your town's native fruit sells for less in your town.

I think you missed out Sahara, though I don't think she ever reveals much about herself

Headcanon: Isabelle and Digby WERE abandoned/homeless but got adopted by the parents Isabelle mentions in NH. Isabelle buddies up with Tom Nook because they bonded over having adoptive family dynamics.
