Animal Crossing Quiz – Villager Personalities and Island Life

Animal Crossing began in Japan in 2001 on the Nintendo 64. Players move into a village, or in the 2020 Switch game New Horizons, onto a deserted island, and live alongside animal villagers in real time.

Tom Nook, a tanuki, runs the business side, Isabelle helps with services, Blathers the owl curates the museum and K.K. Slider performs concerts. Daisy Mae sells turnips on Sundays for the Stalk Market.

Villagers have eight personality types: normal, peppy, snooty and sisterly for females, and lazy, jock, cranky and smug for males. Each type shapes how they talk and behave. The game follows the real-time clock, so seasons and holidays change.
