Mabel

"You come back now OK?"

- Mabel

Mabel 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, with her older sister, Sable. She is the charismatic one out of the sisters, who assists customers with their purchases.

Mabel is a blue porcupine with brown-orange cheeks and black eyes, eyebrows and snout. Like her sister, she has no visible mouth, and so instead visibly talks by moving her nose. She wears a green and white gingham apron and has a head full of large, spiky bristles. She doesn't directly speak about her past - which is given away by Sable once talking to her. She may bicker from time to time with Sable, about who does most of the work within the business. She never mentions her parents, but from what it learnt through Sable, she was too young to know who they were at the time of the crash. She was raised by her sister, who at the time was an infant.
