Normal villagers (普通 Futsū, or 私 Watashi) (sometimes called Sweet or Sweetie villagers) are female characters in the Animal Crossing series. The name comes from their neutral opinion on things such as hobbies and other characters such as the player, villagers, and special visitors. They are often kind to the player. As of New Horizons, there are 77 normal villagers, making them the most common female personality. Unlike most personalities, there were formerly no personality changes involving the normal personality throughout the series until Faith returned in New Horizons with a sisterly personality.

Characteristics[]
Normal villagers, despite being called "normal", have a lack of self-worth, where they feel self-depreciative. They also appear slightly obsessive with cleanliness and hygiene - a trait also found in peppy villagers. They don't, however, appear to show any concern for their physical appearance, making them happy with what they have. In Wild World and New Leaf, they sometimes talk about a friend called Moppina, an unseen mop which reflects their slightly withdrawn nature and fixation on cleanliness. They can also have a conversation with a peppy villager about Moppina, which the peppy villager may find funny. They get along very well with every villager and will usually talk about other villagers, instead of talking about themselves and their problems. However, they will occasionally talk about themselves and their personal issues. If a normal villager stays in the player's town for a long period of time, she will get rid of all her furniture and when she does leave, she will announce to leave "empty-handed, and without anything."
Normal villagers have the easiest time getting along with peppy, smug, lazy, jock, and other normal villagers, and sometimes even snooty and cranky villagers. The male equivalent of normal villagers are lazy villagers, who display many similar characteristics to them, including their caring and friendly nature that both personalities share.
They are the mother-like characters in the town, appearing friendly, sweet, and hospitable towards the player and other villagers. They like to use French expressions too. In the original Animal Crossing, normal villagers will wake up at 5:00 A.M. and go to sleep at 9:00 P.M. In Wild World and City Folk, they wake at 5:00 A.M and go to sleep at 1:00 A.M. In New Leaf and New Horizons, they wake up at 6:00 A.M. and go to sleep at 12:00 A.M. They rarely (if at all) get angry and tend to take insults and disappointment personally, but will apologize even though they may not have done anything. They also seem to enjoy cooking and will often ask the player about food.
In Animal Crossing and Animal Forest e+, the islanders Caroline, Faith, June, Marina, Norma, and Patricia act down-to-earth in their speech, stating various "blessings" of the island and its surrounding landscape. They are also much more airheaded and childish, dreaming of living in fairy tales or remarking at how "magical" a piece of furniture is.

Trivia[]
- The Japanese word "watashi" (私) is a personal pronoun used by men and women in formal situations, but only by women in casual situations.
- In Animal Crossing, they are the first to sleep at night, at 9:00 PM, although they will stay awake to see the Fireworks Show. A similar thing happens with lazy villagers in New Horizons, as they stay up until 12am to see the Fireworks Show too, due to the fact that the one in New Horizons ends at 12am.
- In Animal Crossing, along with peppy villagers, normal villagers may make comments that reference the limitations of the game.
- While inside their home, they may remark that they feel like they can't keep track of time. This may reference that, while inside buildings, the game's clock doesn't appear.
- In New Leaf, normal villagers will bow to the player instead of waving goodbye. They share this trait with lazy villagers.
- In Japan, bowing is a common gesture alongside waving hello or goodbye. It can be used as a gesture of politeness, apology, or as normal villagers use it, a farewell gesture.
- In the Italian versions of New Leaf, (and related spin-offs Happy Home Designer, amiibo Festival) and New Horizons, normal villagers will use some French words in their sentences, such as: pied-a-terre (meaning house), <French adjective> etc..., to highlight their sweet personality. A similar situation happens with smug villagers.
