I've been wondering if anyone else here plays favorites. Naturally I adored all of my original villagers because they were there from the beginning so I got to know them well. But once you get more than 25 or so of them running around, one tends to lose track of who is who unless they have some really special traits.
My current favorite is a pink haired woman named Zen. At first I liked her because she had the same hairstyle as the last surviving original in my game, a Master Farmer named Koka. But later she proved to be even more interesting. I didn't notice it when she was a child, but her like is 'running' so she runs everywhere, even as an adult. She also dislikes 'playing', so it seems all she ever does is work, and at twice the pace of everyone else! And as a lover of Eastern culture and irony, I can't get over the fact that this little hyperspeed spitfire has the same name as a Buddhist sect that is known for involving meditation, clearing one's mind, and pausing to reflect.
If anyone else has a favorite or especially quirky villager they want to talk about, feel free to share here.
