Peppy villagers with their sweet double-waves… they may talk a lot about pop culture and being famous, but they are so sweet. Personally, my island does not feel complete without their exuberant nature and high-energy vibe.
There are a ton of peppy villagers to choose from but today, let’s look at 20 that really stand out. I’ll also be sharing if they are a Subtype A or Subtype B personality (you can read more about that here).
This is an opinion piece, so I apologize if you don’t find your favorite on here! Okay, here we go.

Everyone loves Shino, right? I think she might be one of the most popular villagers.

Have you ever watched the Disney/Pixar short Piper? This is what I think about each time I see Piper. She is modeled after a sandpiper bird and she gets all the points for it. She is one of my forever-never-ever-leaving villagers for this very reason! Her favorite colors are black and white and she has the play hobby. The play hobby is always endearing, but for some reason when the birds do it… it’s just that much better. She looks like she’s ready to take off flying. If you haven’t had her on your island, I highly recommend you make room for her!
