Gayle is a normal alligator Villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Saying she’s normal might be a bit of an understatement because she looks anything but. Apart from anything else, she’s an alligator, which isn’t something you come across a lot in this franchise. It makes her slightly more unique, but her pink skin is the thin g that really sets her apart. You can’t help but notice this Villager if she’s on your island. In this Animal Crossing: New Horizons Gayle Villager Guide, we’re going to cover everything you need to know about this Villager. We’ll even throw in some facts that you probably didn’t know before.
Who is Gayle?
As we’ve mentioned, Gayle is a normal alligator Villager. She’s pink, and that makes her stand out in any crowd. Honestly, just look at her. The name Gayle is said to be a reference to the word alligator, but we’re not so sure. It seems very far away from that source. Then again, there’s no other explanation. Her initial catchphrase is a reference to the fact that alligators like to snack and eat, as well as sleep. She loves all those things, but then we all do really. You’ll see her featured on the cover of K.K. House and she has the best hobby ever: nature.
Birthday
Gayle’s birthday is on May 17. On this date, you should head over to her house and hang out with her. She’ll be celebrating her birthday with all the other Villagers on your island. This is something that every Villager does, so look out for others celebrating their birthdays too. On this date, you can head over to her house and take part in the celebrations if you’d like to. You’ll be given the chance to take part in some games, smashing some presents and things like that. There’s also cake available to everyone who attends a birthday party, so you’ll get some of that. Don’t waste it. This is a precious resource that will allow you to go forward and do some serious building work on your island. It speeds everything up, and is probably the most useful tip in this whole Animal Crossing: New Horizons Gayle Villager Guide.
On this date, you can also give Gayle a present. This will boost your relationship even further than simply attending her part does. It’s a great way to get that relationship to the maximum level if that’s what you’re chasing. If you give her a present, Gayle might even give you one back in the following days. Now every Villager does this, but some do. So it’s always worth giving it a try to get a present and some more relationship advancement out of it.
Gayle’s Personality
We’ve mentioned that Gayle is a normal Villager in this guide a couple of times now. This means that she has the normal personality type. (thebiem.com) This is one of the best personalities to have in the game. It makes her act kind towards you pretty much all the time. It’s such a lovely change from being boasted at or challenged to a competition. Just to have a Villager run up to you and be nice to you is such a welcome thing.
Normal Villagers get on well with normal, smug, peppy, lazy, and snooty Villager types. They generally get on well with everyone, which is what you want on an island where you have to co-exist with everyone else around you. The only Villagers she’s going to conflict with are those with the cranky or sisterly personality types. That’s just because these Villagers hate and distrust everyone though. They can never be happy, so ignore them.
One of the best things about Gayle is that she gets up at 6 AM every day. If you’re an early riser, then she’s worth having on your island. Just the knowledge that you can get up early and play the game while another Villager is also rocking about changes the way you feel. It’s much less lonely, and makes your island feel a lot more full. The only thing that’s odd about normal Villagers is that they chat to a mop and call it Moppina. You’ll never see the mop though, so don’t worry too much about it.
Gayle’s Appearance
If you hadn’t noticed by now, Gayle is very much a pink alligator. She’s just pink everywhere, and she wears pink clothes too, which helps her stand out even more than she would otherwise. She’s got a cute heart on her nose. This is probably her most distinctive feature and something that those who love cute things will want to have on their island. Apparently, she’s similar to other Villagers, but we just don’t see it.
Gayle’s House
The exterior of Gayle’s house is fantastic. It’s really normal, and there’s nothing out of place about it. You could put it anywhere on your island and it would instantly fit it. That’s exactly what you want to see when it comes to new Villagers. Gayle’s is brown, and will therefore fit in with a wall or road, pretty much anything you need it to. If you have a row of normal houses, she’ll fit in there with no fuss or extra building required.
The interior of Gayle’s house is pink, but it’s also pretty normal. Only the furniture is pink, with the walls and floor only being brown or standard house colors. It won’t offend your eyes, so you can spend a decent amount of time here. You’ll need to get used to all the hearts, and even more pink, but it’s worth it to have Gayle hanging out on your island.
Facts About Gayle
The only fact about Gayle is the same as the only fact for every alligator Villager. She’s one of the few. The other two are Liz and Alli. The names are extremely obvious, and they’re not that inventive if you ask us. Still, it’s nice to have some more diversity in the game. There’s no sense in restricting the type of animals due to the difficulty in naming them all.
