Purrl

Purrl (たま,) is a snooty cat villager in the. She has appeared in all games from the to date. Her name is a combination of "purr", which is a sound that cats make, and the gemstone that is prized for its elegance and shine; the pearl. Her Japanese name, 'Tama', is a common name for housecats in Japan. Calicoes have a myth of being a lucky type of cat, so this may relate to the opinion of her being wealthy. Her Wild World picture phrase is a reference to real cats scratching beds and sofas. Her initial catchphrase is a reference to a kitten, a baby or young cat.

Appearance
Purrl has the overall appearance of a calico cat, which means she is tri-colored in black, white, and various colors of brown (medium and dark). She has a cobalt blue color inside her ears, and well-defined lower lashes which are similar to Mint's eyes (adding to the fact that has a snooty personality, and these villagers can often be found with make-up on). Purrl's initial clothing is the Asian shirt, but her outfit in is a Deep Blue shirt, which matches the inside of her ears; the trend then continued on into the New Leaf game, in which she wears the Periwinkle tee (pictured left), which also coincides with the color inside her ears. On rainy days, she carries the red dot umbrella, which is red with white polka dots on it.

Personality
As a snooty villager, Purrl will appear uptown, classy, and chic. With this, however, she will appear rude, belittling, and snobby when talking to the player or other villagers in the town, usually criticizing their dress sense or fashion. When talking to the player enough, she will befriend them but still remain a little rude. As with all snooty villagers, she has an interest in clothes over other hobbies. She will have problems socializing with other villagers, usually lazy villagers by disagreeing with their choice of lifestyle or getting offended by a jock villager, who have questioned her physical fitness.
