“I'm so lucky to have this wool coat!”
― Picture quote, Wild World
“My clothes will soak up the sun until they're warm and fluffy. So luxurious!”
― Vesta, New Leaf
Vesta (メリヤス,Meriyasu?, Malhas) is a normalsheep in Animal Crossing series that appears in all versions of the Animal Crossing video games. Her name comes from the piece of clothing vest, an item of clothing sometimes made out of the wool of sheep, her species, and possibly the Roman goddess of the hearth, Vesta, though this may be a coincidence. Her Japanese name, meriyasu, means "knitting". Her initial phrase, baaaffo is a combination of the word baa, a word used to imitate the bleating of sheep, and the word "boffo", which as an adjective, means "very successful" or "wholeheartedly commendatory". She has the fashion hobby.
