Aurora in Animal Crossing

Aurora is a typical penguin with black eye sockets, but when she gets surprised, her eyes become red, and when she blinks her eyelids are a pale-pink. She also has a large, white belly, and a black stripe going down the front of her face. She has black feet and gray on her flippers, neck, and back, making her look like Cube. She initially wears the classic top in Animal Crossing, the pink tartan tee in Wild World, and the plover cardigan in New Horizons.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the normal personality. For more information, click here.

Aurora has a normal personality, and frequently acts kind towards the player. Normal villagers generally get along well with lazy, peppy, smug, snooty, and other normal villagers. Aurora may conflict with cranky and sisterly villagers. As a normal villager, Aurora will usually wake up at 6:00 am and is easier to befriend than most. Both normal and peppy villagers reference an unseen friend known as Moppina.

House[]

In Animal Crossing, Aurora's house doesn't have any specific theme to it. She has many clocks, as well as four gyroids against the wall. She also has an iris table and two daffodil chairs to go with it. She also has an elephant slide and a red boombox that plays K.K. Swing. Her wallpaper is the lunar horizon, and her flooring is the kitchen tile.

Her floor and wallpaper are the same as in the previous games.
