Jacques is asmugbirdvillager in theAnimal Crossing series. He first appeared inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. His English and Japanese names are derived from "disc jockey," a reference to hishouses and house requests that are themed after music clubs and respectively contain or require a DJ's turntable. His catchphrase,zut alors, is a French phrase meaning "darn it," which relates to Jacques being a French given name.

He has lazy blue eyes with bright green rims. He has a yellow beak, brown eyebrows, and a brown goatee.
Personality[edit]
Below is a brief description of thesmug personality. For more information, clickhere.
Jacques is a smug villager, meaning he is well-mannered, polite, and friendly. He is quite flirtatious and has a fair number of unseen hobbies that include collecting plastic bottle caps and constantly talking about trains. He enjoys complimenting other villagers, including theplayer, and he is generous and quite easy to befriend. He is fairly easy to disappoint when the player refuses to trade in items and if the player fails to complete a favor from him. He is very interested in fashion, and when shopping inGracieGrace orAble Sisters, he seems to be big fans of the two tailors. Like all other smug villagers, Jacques falls asleep at 2:00 AM and wakes up at 8:30 AM.
