Sisterly (アネキ aneki?, big sister) is a personality type introduced in New Leaf and a starting villager personality in New Horizons. Sisterly villagers are very caring towards the player and are less vain than the snooty or peppy villagers, but they are also more blunt, straightforward, and tomboyish and may come across as rude on some occasions. Sisterly villagers normally wake up at 11:00 AM and sleep at 3:00 AM. In New Horizons, they wake up at 9:30 AM and sleep at 3:00 AM. There are currently only 24 sisterly villagers, making them the least common personality. Even though all sisterly villagers are female, other villagers may sometimes refer to them using he/him pronouns.[citation needed]
Several formerly snooty villagers are now sisterly. Sylvia and Ursala both had the snooty personality until the release of New Leaf and its update Welcome amiibo. Charlise, Paula, and Plucky were all peppy until they all returned in New Leaf and its update Welcome amiibo.
In New Horizons, players will always have one random sisterly villager as a starter villager.
Characteristics
Sisterly villagers will, when befriended, give the player fighting tips and teach them ways to relax. These villagers are tough but they still care deeply about their appearance. They have a tendency to stay up very late into the night. When befriended, they will give the player medicine if they are stung by a wasp. It is easy to get their picture since developing friendships with sisterly villagers is simpler due to their caring and protective nature. They will treat the player with respect and will even offer to fight off anyone that is giving the player trouble. Some Public Works Projects can only be suggested by sisterly villagers, such as the wood bench. Sisterly villagers generally get along with peppy, normal, lazy, jock, and other sisterly villagers, but may conflict with cranky and snooty villagers.
In Happy Home Designer they are given even more of a tomboyish personality, no longer being as caring as they used to be. They are, on the contrary, the most sarcastic, blunt, and mischievous out of the female villagers. They like to party a lot, get bored easily when things are calm, and seem to always be in search of stunt emotions and experiences. They tend to taunt the player (and the other NPCs) very often and hate genuine compliments.

Trivia
- Sisterly villagers are the last to wake up in the morning, at 11:00 AM in New Leaf and at 9:30 AM in New Horizons.
- Sisterly villagers are also known as 'uchi' villagers amongst players, deriving from the personal pronoun 'uchi' that these villagers use in the Japanese version of the games. The word 'uchi' is a personal pronoun that is feminine and informal, but does not give off an aura of cuteness the way other pronouns like 'atashi' do.
- Sisterly villagers can be known to give hybrid flowers, but only in letters.
- The official guide for New Horizons refers to these villagers as 'big sister' personality. However, the guides are not considered canon.
- At the start of the game in New Horizons, each player gets one sisterly and one jock villager.
- This personality type is the only personality to not have any villagers missing from New Horizons.
- Sisterly villagers wave enthusiastically with both hands. They share this habit with the jock, peppy, and smug villagers.
