Animal crossing new leaf face guide

Face style guide in New Leaf

The player's face and hairstyle in the Animal Crossing series up until New Leaf is determined by a series of questions while on the journey to their new town. The questions are different in each game. From Wild World onwards, the player's hairstyle can be changed at Shampoodle for 3,000 Bells. In New Leaf, the player's eye color can also be changed at Shampoodle. The player's face style is unchangeable. In Happy Home Designer, Pocket Camp, and New Horizons the face style is determined manually.

Rover train

The appearance of the player's face and eyes in New Leaf is dependent on how they answer three of Rover's questions on the train when first starting the game. This chart will shows the outcomes of the different prompts.

  • Question 1: So, [player], do you get to go to [town] very often?
  • Question 2: So why are you going there anyway?
  • Question 3: Oh, so you're probably going to move there, aren't you?

He will ask other questions, such as why the player is moving there (this determines their house's location), their name, and the current time.

Animal Crossing[]

When the game starts, Rover will walk over to the player on the train, ask them for their name and for the correct time, and also several questions.

  • Question 1: "So, you mind if I sit here?"
  • Question 2: "So, what are you going to <town> for?"
  • Question 3: "Say! Where's your new place?"
  • Question 4: "You have money, right?"

The player must answer the last question with 'Just a little...', or else the game randomizes the player's face and disregards their selected options.

Note: The starting outfits are random, so your clothes may not match the ones in the chart below.
