Melba is anormalkoalavillager in theAnimal Crossing series. She first appeared inAnimal Crossing: Wild World and has appeared in all subsequent games. Her English name may be a reference to the Australian city ofMelbourne, while her Japanese name,Adelaide (アデレード), likely comes from the Australian city ofAdelaide, as koalas are native to Australia. She shares this trait withAlice,Canberra, andSydney, who are also female koala villagers named after cities in Australia. Melba's English name and catchphrase,toasty, may relate toMelba toast - a dry, crisp, and thinly-sliced piece of toast that originated and is popular in Australia.

InNew Horizons, Melba has the educationhobby and can be seen wearingrimmed glasses, reading a novel while outside, and using a magnifying glass when near certain objects.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Melba fromWild World.

Melba is a light brown koala. She has white inner ears and turns pinkish near the bottom. She has a large brown and white nose. She has small dark blue eyes, a very lightly brushed pink blush, and a cat-like mouth similar to that ofPunchy. Canberra, who debuted inNew Leaf, greatly resembles Melba.

Personality[edit]

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

Melba is a normalvillager, which means she will act mother-like to the player. She will appear friendly, sweet, and hospitable to the player. Melba will be easy to befriend. She will enjoy partaking in the usualhobbies, and will fall asleep at 1:00 AM and awake at about 5:00 AM. Melba will rarely ever be angry, taking insults and getting hit with anet, being pushed too far or stepping on apitfall seed. Instead, she will get sad. She will seem to enjoy talking about her current hobby (gardening, walking around, shell collecting, etc.) and hygiene. She will seem happy when talking withpeppy,jock, andlazy villagers, as they seem to be friendlier and more sensitive. She will also get along easily withsmug andsnooty villagers. If the player is nice to her in return, talks to her daily or sends letters to her, it will be very easy to obtain herpicture inAnimal Crossing: Wild World andAnimal Crossing: New Leaf.
