Yesterday my kids were renaming the characters in one of my villages after themselves. Cynthia names one of the Master Healers after herself (because she liked the dress). Later on, Cynthia wanted to check on how her character was doing, and she noticed that the villager suddenly did not like papaya. Now, Cynthia was thrilled because she too does not like papaya.

The deal is, that when Cynthia chose her villager, there were no likes or dislikes listed.

What happened to change her mind? I know that dreams and other events can change things, but I didn't know that spontaneous changes could occur. Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a particular reason for it?

Cynthia is "convinced" it is because the character in the game wants to be more like her. Help.
