Top 5 normal villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

One of the most interesting villager types in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the normal type. While the name might sound dull, normal villagers are some of the most loved characters in the game due to their interesting personalities and ability to gel well with most players and villagers.

Normal villagers are female characters who have neutral opinions about hobbies, players and other villagers. This doesn't mean they are boring. In fact, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are a total of 71 normal villagers in the game, and some of them are go-to choices for players to have amongst their 10 resident villagers.

Normal villagers are obsessed with cleanliness and hygiene, which explains their imaginary friend Moppina. They are very friendly with smug, lazy and other normal villagers. They also get along well with snooty and cranky villagers. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, normal villagers wake up at 6 AM and go to sleep at midnight.
