LOL good thing your not Terina pami, that would get confusing hehe, yes 3 mastered skills in one villager will get you an elder and then you will get the pretty totems, which are random, but there is 8 designs, limit is 50, and island events can give you a few more.

think that covers any questions that might follow that, but if i missed somthing, be sure to knock me one.
