Farley is aspecial character inAnimal Crossing andDoubutsu no Mori e+. He is a spirit of thewishing well^[1] who appears briefly after thetown has maintained a perfectField Rank for 15 days and gives theplayer thegolden axe. Due to his single brief appearance, little is revealed about him.

Farley is one of two special characters, along withFranklin, who was introduced inAnimal Crossing and does not appear inDoubutsu no Mori orDoubutsu no Mori+. Farley does not appear pastDoubutsu no Mori e+, though a character inAnimal Crossing: City Folk namedSerena plays a similar role to his, appearing at thefountain and giving the player the golden axe. Farley's voice is also similar to the the voice used forsmug villagers.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork fromAnimal Crossing.

Farley is a short, humanoid figure covered almost entirely by his long white hair, with the only visible parts of his body being his arms and round, bulbous nose. He wears a teal hat with a magenta flower sticking out of it, and he carries a wooden staff.

While his species is unknown, he seems to be visually similar to aNisse, a type of gnome. Much like Farley, gnomes in folklore often have a fondness for nature as well.

Voice[edit]

Farley is one of two characters inAnimal Crossing who has a unique voice from all other characters. The other character who shares this trait isJoan.

Possible role[edit]

This section contains unconfirmed information or speculation.

Based on Farley's dialog, the fact that a statue of him appears on the wishing well, andAnimal Crossing: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide calling him "the well spirit," Farley's job may be to watch over the environment of the town, unbeknownst to its residents. He may also be the disembodied voice that speaks to the player when interacting with thewishing well. He appears to have magical abilities, which could explain why scanning villagere-Reader cards at the wishing well inDoubutsu no Mori e+ causes them to move in.

Appearances[edit]

InAnimal Crossing andDoubutsu no Mori e+[edit]

Farley at the wishing well inAnimal Crossing

InAnimal Crossing andDoubutsu no Mori e+, if the player chooses the "How are things?" option at thewishing well after thetown has had a perfectField Rank for 15 consecutive days, Farley appears and gives the player thegolden axe as a token of his gratitude. He then disappears and can never be encountered again by that player.

Only appearing for a short time in a single encounter, Farley has the least amount of dialogue of any character inAnimal Crossing:

"<Player>...

One as caring as you can

be easily trusted with

an axe that never breaks.

May you use it to continue

in your meticulous care for

the environment of

<Town>.

It is filled with my utmost

gratitude for your efforts."

Trivia[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: Prima's Official Strategy Guide, Farley is not included in the list of characters, though artwork of him is erroneously used for the guide's listing of thesnowman.
He, along withFranklin, is one of two characters from the first generation of games not to have a Japanesee-Reader card.
Farley is one of the few special characters not to have a confirmedbirthday. The others areFrillard,Kaitlin, andSerena.
- Of these characters, he is the only one to have a confirmedstar sign, as his e-Reader card confirms he is a Virgo.
Farley is the onlyspecial character inAnimal Crossing not to be coded as an NPC. Thus, trying to swap another character's model with his will result in the game crashing.
