I like long walks on the beach. Alone.
― Picture quote, Wild World


Maelle (アンヌ, Annu?, Anne), is a snooty duck from the Animal Crossing series. In Animal Crossing and Animal Forest e+, she is an islander. She reappears in Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf as a villager. The name "Maelle" means "ambitious," a trait known among snooty villagers whom wish to become famous or rich. It also translates to "princess" in Breton, once again suiting her snooty personality. Her name may also be referencing the mallard duck. Her catchphrase, "duckling," is inspired by her species. Her picture quote in Wild World may relate to when she lived on the island.

She is featured on the covers of Café K.K. and Steep Hill and she has the fashion hobby.

Appearance[]

Maelle GC

Maelle in Animal Crossing

Maelle is a yellow duck with a dark orange beak and feet with orange on the tips of her feathers and stomach. Her hair is styled in reddish-brown bob. She wears lime green eyeshadow and her eyes maintain a lazy expression. As an islander, Maelle wore a white and orange flower in her hair. In Animal Crossing, she wears a Red Aloha Shirt, like other female islanders. In all subsequent games, she wears a Heart Tee. When it rains, Maelle uses the Yellow Umbrella.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the snooty personality. For more information, click here.

Maelle has a snooty personality, which means she loves makeup and gossiping. As a snooty villager, Maelle will first appear rude and arrogant towards the player, often talking about herself and her own experiences. She also speaks about the style and appearance of other villagers, usually other female villagers such as normal, peppy, and other snooty villagers. She will soon warm up to the player, confiding in them about their own feelings but still keeping subtly rude. Maelle will not get along with lazy villagers due to them not caring about their appearance or the lazy villagers hating what she eats, and she won't get along with jock villagers because they will question her on her physical appearance and they won't worry about fashion. However, she will get along with cranky villagers due to their similar rude personalities, and usually normal villagers as well.

House[]

Maelle's home in Wild World and City Folk has a very girly appearance, featuring two Lovely items, the bed and the kitchen. She also owns a birdcage, a cream sofa, and a Classic Buffet. Maelle also displays a Candy Gingham Shirt and a Lacy Parasol in her house, referencing her snooty personality, as they enjoy fashion. Café K.K. plays on her Phonograph, and her choices of wallpaper and flooring are the Parlor Wall and the Ceramic Tile respectively.

In New Leaf, Maelle's house has a humble Japanese style to it. She owns many Alpine pieces, such as the bed, the dresser, the large table, and the low table. In addition, she has a small kitchen corner, with a sink and a range, as well as a Retro Fridge. Maelle also displays a space heater and a drip pail in her home. She still plays Café K.K., but this time she does so on a Record Player. Her wallpaper is the Kitschy Wall, and her flooring is the Tatami.
