Sable

"Patience, Sable..."

- Sable

Sable (あさみ, Asami) is a character in the, co-owning the Able Sisters tailor shop, one of the two stores that can be found in the player's town. She is a shy, reserved character that prefers to work in the background while her younger sister, Mabel, assists customers.

Sable is a brown porcupine with pink freckles and sad, shy eyes. She has no visible mouth, and so instead talks by moving her nose. She wears a pink and white gingham apron and has a head full of large, spiky bristles.

Sable's life is very focused around the world she grew up in- she is happy with the slow pace of the country life and has proven to be firm friends with others from the village, most notably, Tom Nook. When Sable was only a young girl, her parents died, leaving her to care for her younger sister. She remenisces frequently of her parents, often sharing stories of her childhood. It is not known how her mother and father died, but it is certain that Sable was very unprepared, having to mature quickly and sacrifice her own happiness for that of her sister. This lowered her self-confidence and made her the introverted adult she is today. After her parent's death, Sable took over the family business and taught herself to embroider and make clothes.

Role in Animal Crossing
Sable maintains the same role as in future releases of the game. She can be seen sewing in the corner, keeping quiet and secluded. if you keep talking to her she will start becoming your friend and sharing memories about her childhood.

Role in Animal Crossing: Wild World
"I'm at my happiest here at work, don't you know?"

- Sable

In, Sable has a very similar role as she did in Animal Crossing. She is never seen walking around the shop, because she is always using her sewing machine. She doesn't say much unless the player becomes friends with her, but this takes some time to do. Talking to her everyday increases the chances of her revealing information about herself. At first she will say things like "Ummm... who are you?!", but when she is friends with the player she will say things like "Welcome! I'm so glad you decided to pay us a visit..." She watches a soap called Pointed Love, which she will comment on every Thursday.

Role in Animal Crossing: City Folk
In, Sable's role remains unchanged, although she does reveal a family secret- she is eventually forced to admit that the worker in GracieGrace is indeed her younger sister, Labelle. Sable does not get on with her sister as she feels that Labelle abandoned her to go to the city when their parents died, leaving her alone to look after Mabel. After speaking with Sable everyday for 12 days, she will eventually stop ignoring you and pushing you away, but will tell you stories about her past life and childhood.

Role in
Sable has a minor role in. She is seen sewing patterns like in the games. Also, she is seen sitting in the front row next to Mabel during K.K. Slider's performance. She speaks a single line in the film: "Glad you came!"
