“Sometimes I think I'm the only sane one around.”
― Picture quote, Wild World
Mitzi (マール,Māru?) is a normalcatvillager in the Animal Crossing series. She has appeared in every game to date, and appeared on the cover of Animal Crossing, standing in the upper window on the side with Punchy, she appears on the current icon for Pocket Camp. She also appeared in a screenshot on the back of the City Folk case. Her name, "Mitzi," may refer to her paws which look like they have mittens on them. The name Mitzi is also a generic name for cats in Hebrew. Her catchphrase could relate to the sound a kitten makes. Her picture quote in Wild World is almost the same as Marina's, a normal octopus villager.
She is featured on the cover of K.K. Parade and she has the education hobby. Mitzi appears in the Animal Crossing track in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Mitzi, like Olivia, is a point colored cat. But Mitzi is a blue point with a dark blue muzzle and tail, tipped ears and tipped paws, like a Siamese cat. Her eyelids are light purple. The inside of her ears are tangerine orange, which match with the Gumdrop shirt/tee she wears in the Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf games, however she initially wears a Patchwork shirt in Animal Crossing, which also has a bit of orange on it. On rainy days, Mitzi carries the Melon Umbrella, which is gingham print in white and light green.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the normal personality. For more information, click here.
Mitzi 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. Mitzi may conflict with cranky and sisterly villagers. As a normal villager, Mitzi 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.
In City Folk, Mitzi still retains some of the same themed furniture as in previous games, but she now only has one Gyroid as opposed to two. She also has more Cabana furniture and owns an Exotic chair. She owns a Red Boombox, which plays K.K. Swing. She still has the Ranch Flooring, but instead of a Kitchen Wall, she now has a Modern Wall.
Mitzi is very courteous and polite for a cat. That must be why everyone gets along with her so well. Watch out once you get her talking, though. When she speaks her mind, you don't want to be standing too close.
Mitzi is shown in one of the very first commercials for Animal Forest in Japan in 2002, along with Teddy, Bunnie, and Bill.
Mitzi shares her birthday with the North American release date for Happy Home Designer.
In a character popularity poll for Animal Crossing held by Nintendo in Japan, Mitzi ranked 7th with 1,467 votes, above Bob and below Kapp'n, making her the most voted villager.
Her English catchphrase is also the name of a Pokémon, Mew.
In New Horizons, Mitzi's preferred style is Simple, and her preferred colors are Beige/Brown.
Her Italian name is Zampetta, which appears to be a feminine-sounding alternative to Kid Cat's "Zampa".
Her Spanish name, Misi, is a solo version of her Spanish catchphrase "misi-misi".
