Sable

"Patience, Sable..."

- Sable

Sable is a character in the series, 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.

Sable is a hedgehog who enjoys cloths. In City Folk, 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 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. When she talks she talks about her family mostly her parents.
