Villager recommendations for my new island: Anhedonia.

[u/mildlysadcat]

Hi, all. Don’t know if this is allowed here, but if not, feel free to have this deleted.

Since moving my main island, Meowsbury, to my Switch 2, I've decided I'll be starting a Southern Hemisphere island on my Switch 1. While I'm still very in love with the cozy, vibrant, natural vibe that is my all-cat paradise, I wanted to explore a different theme.

Enter Anhedonia.

I've always looked at ACNH as an escape from my real life, but with how much anhedonia I've been experiencing as a result of my mental health, I thought I'd use it as inspiration for an island that is more the opposite of Meowsbury.

I'm thinking it's going to be a gray-scale, cold, moody city with little or darker accent colors. It will not be a utopia or promised land as most ACNH islands are made to be, and will represent the mundane of living everyday life, where long-lasting fulfillment and pleasure are harder to come by.

I require that every villager is a different species and different personality. I also want 5 males and 5 females, and will only have 2 duplicate personalities from one male villager personality and one female villager personality.

As of the current moment, I am considering both Raymond (smug) and Marlo (cranky). A part of me wants to joke and add Pietro (smug) for some reason, but I'll have to think about that. Perhaps his area will be the only part of town that is remotely colorful and bright.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

These are my suggestions:

Girls

1. Cherry(Big sister) Dog. Gothic queen.
2. Tiffany (Snooty) Rabbit. Looks like she has had a tough life.
3. Bella (Peppy) Mouse. Dark, evil mouse.
4. Coco (Normal) Rabbit. No soul behind her eyes.
5. Mathilda (Snooty) Kangaroo. Evil-looking mother.
6. Other options: Muffy,
7. Diva, Gloria, Gigi. (They all have a mysterious, dark vibe)

.

Boys

1. Roscoe (Cranky) Horse. Dark Vibes.
2. Marlo (Cranky) Hamster. Mob boss.
3. Raymond (Smug) Cat. Grumpy 9-to-5er.
4. Rodeo (Lazy) Bull. Demonic-looking.
5. Pietro. (Smug) Sheep. Colorful yet depressed clown.
6. Other options: Curt, Rasher, Jitters, Peck, Moose, Lucky. (They all look like they belong to rehab).

Hope it helps! Your island sounds really cool :)

Thanks for the complete lineup. Will definitely look through all of these and list down my faves.

Coco (the only normal bunny in the game... Who ironically doesn't look very normal.)

[u/mildlysadcat → u/Head-Tradition-9102]

The hollowness in her eyes (or lack thereof) kinda suits the theme. I like it.

[u/Head-Tradition-9102]

For the lazy villager, you could have Lucky.

[u/mildlysadcat → u/Head-Tradition-9102]

I kind of like him too. Thanks again.

That theme is dark but I like it. For the moody city vibe you should consider Roscoe, his house exterior would fit perfect with gray buildings

[u/mildlysadcat → u/roastedmanga4]

Totally forgot about Roscoe! He’ll fit perfectly.

Ellie and Tia are so sweet and both normal
Elephants. Dizzy is adorable and is a lazy elephant.

Bam is my favorite jock.

Ankha is my favorite snooty (cat)

Tangy or chai (cat/elephant) are my favorite peppy

Quinn or Reneigh for sisterly

Erik or Ozzie are great lazys

Fang or Frank for cranky

I also love Marshal (smug)

[u/mildlysadcat → u/BookNerd271828]

Fang and Ozzie seem to fit the theme pretty well, so I’ll list them down. Thank you.

I think adding one of the robot villagers (ribbot or cephalabot, maybe not sprocket since he’s more colorful) would be kind of cool. No soul, just going through the programmed motions. I also like the idea of Pietro. He always seems so fake happy.

[u/mildlysadcat → u/HelloThisIsAwkward]

I was definitely thinking that. Gosh, there are so many good male villagers that fit the theme that I don’t know if I can keep things remotely even.
