Yellow Villagers

Let’s move onto villagers, which is one of my favorite parts. Here are 20 that I think work great for this island theme.

Marty – Marty is a Sanrio villager, which means you can’t get him onto your villager unless you have his amiibo card. But I think he is more than worth it for this theme! I picture him running a honey stand with beekeeper hives around his yard. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are brown and yellow, his catchphrase is “pompom,” and he has the play hobby.

Twiggy – This sweet yellow birdie grew on me majorly when she was an autofill. I really love Twiggy and she has a cute catchphrase. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are pink and blue, her catchphrase is “cheepers,” and she has the fashion hobby.

Tangy – Okay, I know she is more orange, but I am going to have to include her because Tangy is so bright anf sunny and happy. She belongs. We’ll call her yellow-orange. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are green and yellow, her catchphrase is “reeeeOWR,” and she has the music hobby.

Goldie – It wouldn’t be a yellow island without the golden girl herself. Goldie is sunshine in dog form! A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are yellow and orange, her catchphrase is “woof,” and she has the nature hobby.

Cousteau – One of the most underrated villagers, to be honest. He’s a delightful yellow frog with a moustache. I mean… that’s adorable. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are green and red, his catchphrase is “oui oui,” and he has the fitness hobby.

Joey – Everyone wants the little yellow baby duckling, right? A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are green and blue, his catchphrase is “bleeeeeck,” and he has the play hobby.

Anabelle – I love how vibrant and happy she looks. Anabelle is one anteater you don’t want to sleep on. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are green and blue, her catchphrase is “snorty,” and she has the fashion hobby.

Tybalt – He was one of my starters once and I didn’t mind him at all. He is pretty cute and a nice shade of yellow! A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are purple and blue, his catchphrase is “grrrRAH,” and he has the play hobby.

Benjamin – I love his buttery yellow coat and the expression on his face. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are red and white, his catchphrase is “alrighty,” and he has the nature hobby.

Chadder – Coolest piece of cheese I ever did see. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are gray and black, his catchphrase is “fromage,” and he has the fitness hobby.

Willow – Willow screams cottagecore and springcore. She’s a lovely pastel villager. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are white and pink, her catchphrase is “bo peep,” and she has the fashion hobby.

Tammy – I have a soft spot of sisterly villagers and I think Tammy is such a cute yellow bear cub! A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite colors are red and purple, her catchphrase is “ya heard,” and she has the play hobby.

Eloise – Eloise is an absolute joy. She is snooty, but doesn’t feel like it. She has a really kind face and if you often shy away from the snooty personality, she might be a great choice. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are green and orange, her catchphrase is “tooooot,” and she has the fashion hobby.

Mira – She is very specific, but could be a fun addition if you love kidcore island themes. A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite colors are red and yellow, her catchphrase is “cottontail,” and she has the fitness hobby.

Maelle – Joey isn’t the only yellow duck. Maelle is such a vibe. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are white and pink, her catchphrase is “duckling,” and she has the fashion hobby.

Toby – He’s an eclectic little dude! Toby is a Sanrio villager, which means you can’t get him onto your villager unless you have his amiibo card. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are green and orange, his catchphrase is “ribbit,” and he has the music hobby.

Hamlet – A classic OG with such a warm golden yellow coat. Hamlet is underrated! A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are purple and blue, his catchphrase is “hammie,” and he has the play hobby.

Ankha – This girlie is golden. She deserves all the bright and shiny things! A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are colorful and brown, her catchphrase is “me meow,” and she has the nature hobby.

Egbert – Egbert is another villager who could be great for a yellow cottagecore island. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are beige and brown, his catchphrase is “doodle-duh,” and he has the play hobby.

Gaston – For anyone who loves cranky villagers, Gaston is probably top choice. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are orange and brown, his catchphrase is “mon chou,” and he has the education hobby.
