I'm just that cool.
― Picture quote, Wild World


Gwen (ポーラ, Pōra?, Paula) is a snooty penguin villager that has appeared in every game in the Animal Crossing series. Gwen's English localized name is a play on her species name: PenGUIN. Her initial phrase references the cold, as words are a stutter in cold temperatures. It is similar to Roald's, Cube's, and Aurora's catchphrases. She has the fashion hobby.

Gwen in Animal Crossing

Personality

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

Gwen has a snooty personality, which means she loves makeup and gossiping. As a snooty villager, Gwen will first appear rude and arrogant towards the player, often talking about herself and her own experiences. She also speaks about the style and appearance of other villagers, usually other female villagers such as normal, peppy, and other snooty villagers. She will soon warm up to the player, confiding in them about their own feelings but still keeping subtly rude. Gwen will not get along with lazy villagers due to them not caring about their appearance or the lazy villagers hating what she eats, and she won't get along with jock villagers because they will question her on her physical appearance and they won't worry about fashion. However, she will get along with cranky villagers due to their similar rude personalities, and usually normal villagers as well.
