Forestcore Villagers
Let’s move onto villagers, which is one of my favorite parts, quite honestly. I love finding our friends!! For forestcore, I’m thinking natural villagers with warm browns and earthy tones, and of course species that you would find in a woodland forest. Here are 20 that I think work beautifully for this island (but of course, there are many more!)
Fauna – This girl could fit on nearly every island, but especially this theme. Fauna supremacy forever. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are beige and white, her catchphrase is “dearie,” and she has the nature hobby.
Grizzly – A cranky lumberjack bear villager… Grizzly is it. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are red and black, his catchphrase is “grrr,” and he has the education hobby.
Maple – Queen of the forest? I think so. Maple always shines, but particularly for this theme. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are green and white, her catchphrase is “honey,” and she has the education hobby.
Chief – My man looks like a fox and that is exactly why he belongs here. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are white and gray, his catchphrase is “harrumph,” and he has the music hobby.
Erik – A MOOSE. Zero notes. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are beige and red, his catchphrase is “chow down,” and he has the nature hobby.
Poppy – Straight out of a woodland fairytale. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are yellow and green, her catchphrase is “nutty,” and she has the education hobby.
Robin – I feel like she needs to be here just because she’s a classic robin. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are aqua and purple, her catchphrase is “la-di-da,” and she has the fashion hobby.
Olive – The coziest homebody bear. She is such a cutie. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are brown and yellow, her catchphrase is “sweet pea,” and she has the nature hobby.
Ike – Another cranky bear who looks the part. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are green and blue, his catchphrase is “roadie,” and he has the nature hobby.
Sylvana – The colors on her… unmatched. Perfection. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are purple and green, her catchphrase is “hubbub,” and she has the nature hobby.
Deena – There are a of ducks that could be on a forestcore island, but I went with Deena instead of Molly this time around. Her colors are just so lovely for the forest. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are blue and colorful, her catchphrase is “woowoo,” and she has the education hobby.
Deirdre – The best sisterly villager with her autumnal-themed home. Perfection for forestcore. A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite color is orange, her catchphrase is “whatevs,” and she has the play hobby.
Beau – Baby of the forest. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are beige and orange, his catchphrase is “saltlick,” and he has the nature hobby.

Henry – The smuggest frog in all the forest. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are aqua and blue, his catchphrase is “snoozit,” and he has the music hobby.
Cally – She is the epitome of a woodland cutie. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are red and green, her catchphrase is “WHEE,” and she has the nature hobby.
Dobie – Cranky grandpa wolf who loves living in the secluded forest. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are beige and brown, his catchphrase is “ohmmm,” and he has the nature hobby.
Claude – The forest needs a rabbit and I think his coloring is so perfect for it. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are black and colorful, his catchphrase is “hopalong,” and he has the nature hobby.
Avery – He looks so unhinged, I love it. Every forest needs a bird of prey! A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are orange and brown, his catchphrase is “skree-haw,” and he has the music hobby.
