However, they still show traces of their caring nature, worrying for the player's health and questioning their busy schedule if talked in their homes. As such, more than the "big sister" stereotype, they seem more akin to a somewhat watered-down image of the Japanese sukeban, or "boss girl." Natural partygoers and thrill-seekers, big sister villagers despise boredom and show little concerns for social conventions - eager to shout while waiting for food in the restaurant and presenting themselves as the classic loafer and cocky student at school, or joshingly asking the player to switch roles while working at the shops. In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, big sister villagers lose most of the empathetic and big sister charm of their personality to embrace instead a more tomboyish, tough, mischievous, and sarcastic inclination. They may act like an older sister when befriended, and may even give the player medicine (or in New Horizons, the DIY recipe for it) if talked to after being stung by bees or wasps. Despite this tough exterior, however, big sister villagers are kind and empathetic deep down. As a result of this, they are seen as a sort of tomboy, as they occasionally talk about enjoying fighting, and express an interest in participating in "turf wars." In addition to this, they might give the player a petition called "Tomboys Are People Too" which further supports this. Big sister villagers also speak with gruff, accented voices, similar to the deep voices cranky villagers use, in reference to their "tough" attitudes. Behaviors īig sister villagers are often depicted as stubborn, rude, and easily offended at first glance, in a similar manner to cranky villagers, who also have a hostile behavior.

Big sister villagers typically wake up after all other villagers have woken up. Phoebe, a big sister villager, implies that she tends to sleep in late.
