4) Shino

Shino is a relatively new villager in New Horizons, as she was introduced in the 2.0 update. Shino's adorable appearance and her peppy personality have made her an extremely desirable villager among players.

3) Marshal

Marshal is an adorable squirrel villager in New Horizons who is very popular with the players of the game. Although he sports a smug personality type, he is friendly towards other villagers and players.

Furthermore, his cute marshmallow-like appearance, along with his constant frown, makes him pleasing to look at; therefore, most players love to have him as a resident on their New Horizons islands.

2) Ankha

Ankha is one of the most popular cat villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and this can partly be attributed to her Egypt-inspired appearance that makes her resemble Cleopatra. Ankha, too, is an arrogant villager, and her appearance completely matches her personality type.

However, she, like the previous villagers, is also welcoming towards players and most other villagers. Needless to say, she's a popular choice for an island resident.
