History Characters / AnimalCrossingMainNPCs

MotorMouth: Hence his name, Blathers talks... a lot, mostly when he gives the Player information on a certain fossil.

* SeriesMascot: Zig-zagged. Tom Nook was the de-facto mascot until the ''New Leaf'' era, which is when [[BreakoutCharacter Isabelle]] began to represent the franchise in crossovers like ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''. As of ''New Horizons'', the pair have become co-mascots.

* SeriesMascot: She shares this role with the Villager and Tom Nook, if her presence on ''New Leaf''[='=]s Home Screen graphic, her appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' as an Assist Trophy, and her [[PromotedToPlayable playable appearances]] in ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' (in a manner of speaking) and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' are any indication.

* {{Expy}}: She has no relation to [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog another blue hedgehog from a different company]].

* VisualPun: He's a literal police dog.

* VisualPun: He's a literal police dog.

* IdenticalTwinsIDTag: Wilbur has shades and Orville doesn't.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Takaya Hashi (movie)

* BadassBaritone: Though he is very soft-spoken, his voice is distinctively low, and has a stoical demeanor to match.

* BadassBaritone: Wilbur has a deep voice, similar to Cranky villagers.

* TookALevelinJerkass: In the first game, she's merely a DeadpanSnarker, but she becomes more openly vitriolic in ''Wild World'', which correlates to the greater amount of work she has to do.

* BreakoutCharacter: She's made a lot of appearances since her debut, appearing in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' (first as an [[AssistCharacter Assist Trophy]] and later as a full-fledged fighter), ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter 4 Ultimate'', and ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''[[note]]and somehow getting connected to the ''[[VideoGame/DoomEternal Doom Slayer]]'' of all people[[/note]]. She essentially dethroned Tom Nook and K.K. Slider as the "representatives" of the series.

* BreakoutCharacter: She's made a lot of appearances since her debut, appearing in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' (first as an [[AssistCharacter Assist Trophy]] and later as a full-fledged fighter), ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter 4 Ultimate'', and ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''. She essentially dethroned Tom Nook and K.K. Slider as the "representatives" of the series.

* VagueAge: They're far smaller than most villagers, especially Nook, whose species they share. This and their "assistant" role led fans to assume they were young children, but then by ''New Leaf'' they're running stores on their own. Katie has clearly aged enough to indicate a lengthy TimeSkip, so they have aged too, but to what extent is unclear. Tom Nook mentions in ''New Leaf'' that they're old enough to drink coffee, and ''New Horizons'' confirms this, while the younger Leila and Daisy Mae eat cookies instead. They're young enough for in-game villagers to assume Nook adopted them, which at least indicates they're meant to be seen as minors, though teenagers can still be adopted.

* BuxomIsBetter: She has a noticeably more generous bust than the majority of the female characters in the franchise.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: He has a dark skin tone and white fur. Justified since it's a trait of his species. Plus, it fits his characterization as an exotic character working at a vacation resort on a tropical island.

* TurtlePower: He's a tortoise and he was the original mayor of the village, so he did have some political power.

%% Doesn't expalin the reaction * Berserk Button: Downplayed; he doesn't get extremely angry, but you shouldn't let the coffee he serves you get cold.

%% Doesnt' explain what the reactio is.* Berserk Button: The entire presence of weeds is this to Leif.

* BerserkButton: Downplayed; he doesn't get extremely angry, but you shouldn't let the coffee he serves you get cold.

* BerserkButton: The entire presence of weeds is this to Leif.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Not many tapirs in video games, though as mentioned below, baku are fairly more common.

* BerserkButton: Reese cannot ''stand'' bad drivers, as revealed in the ''Welcome amiibo'' update when you talk to her in her camper. She gets so mad Cyrus is ''terrified'' of riding in the same car as her.

* DemotedToExtra: In the ''New Horizons'' 2.0 update, this applies to Reese, outside of Wedding Season. While she returns with Cyrus as a part of his customization service, she doesn't really do anything other than watch him work. The Nooklings have taken her previous role of being the primary way to sell items, but she doesn't do anything new.

** They're very affectionate with each other and never seem to have any marital problems. In ''New Horizons'', they show up on Harvey's island wanting to take wedding photos for their anniversary, and generally act like newlyweds through the process.
** In ''Happy Home Paradise'', should the player invite Reese to the archipelago for a vacation home through an amiibo, she will always bring Cyrus along and implies that moving there was a mutual decision. The same applies to if the player scans Cyrus' amiibo in.

* MrFixit: Cyrus is able to refurbish a very large number of things. From changing wood color and fabric of furniture to turning fossils into models. His customization role returns in ''New Horizons'', as he's able to customize ''any'' item with variations in the game for a fee, including items the player is unable to customize themselves.
