Chai is apeppyelephantvillager in theAnimal Crossing series. She first appeared inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo and has appeared in all subsequent games. She is one of theSanrio crossover villagers and is based on the dog characterCinnamoroll, sharing the same birthday as him.^[1] Chai's catchphrase, "flap flap," refers to how Cinnamoroll can use his ears to fly.^[1] Chai's name is likely a reference tochai tea, since Chai has a pink teacup on her head, chai is a notable drink served at cafés, and Cinnamoroll's place of residence is at a café.^[1] She is the only Sanrio villager whose English name is different from her Japanese name.

InNew Horizons, Chai has the playhobby and can run around with her arms extended at any time, rather than only outside Resident Services during a scripted activity with a group of villagers.

Characteristics[edit]

Chai inWelcome amiibo.

Appearance[edit]

Chai is a blue elephant with a pink teacup on her head and yellow tips on her trunk, feet, and hands, as well as a white belly, hair, and eyelids. Her eyes feature cross-eyed blue pupils, which become smaller when she's shocked. She has Cinnamoroll on her shirt, the Sanrio character her design is based on. Chai andTia are both elephant villagers based onteaware.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of thepeppy personality. For more information, clickhere.

Chai is a peppy villager, which means she will appear over-excited to see the player and most other villagers. Like all peppy villagers, she will appear childish and immature, usually asking the player for items they want. She will enjoy the usual hobbies and will tell the player that when she is bug catching, she is looking for a particular bug that may look nice in her home. She will get along well with other villagers, particularly the lazy, normal, big sister, smug and other peppy villagers, but she may annoy and upset cranky and snooty villagers who are known to appear older than other villagers. Due to the honest nature of peppy villagers, she may mention how "old" or "boring" they are due to her opposing, upbeat personality. She will easily get upset in conversation when it is not going her way, but will forget ever having the conversation due to her short attention span.

Villager information[edit]
