Maple + Moppina = BFF!
― Picture quote, Wild World


...Half the challenge is going to be reeling that sucker in, honey!
― Maple, City Folk


Maple (メープル, Mēpuru?, Maple) is a normal cub villager in the Animal Crossing series. She has appeared in every game in the series so far. Maple's name derives from the type of tree called a Maple Tree. It could also be her name because she is "sweet like syrup"; as she has the normal personality. She is the only character to mention another character in their Wild World picture quote, in this case, a mop called Moppina. Her initial catchphrase, "honey", is a reference to what bears are stereotypically known to eat. It could also be a reference to her personality type, due to the fact that honey is sweet. She has the education hobby.

She appears on the album art cover of Mr. K.K. and K.K. Marathon.
