Isabelle[nb 3] is a dog in the Animal Crossing series who first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where she helps the player with their duties as mayor. She would later appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, playing a similar, but smaller role as the head of the Civic Consultation Counter at the Resident Services building.

Her name was first revealed as Hisho (ひしょ), which is Japanese for secretary, during the New Leaf developer commentary,[1] then was changed in the June 2012 Nintendo Direct to Shizue, a reference to her breed, the Shih Tzu.[2] When localized to English, her name became Isabelle. It may be based on the fact that the top of her head resembles a Bell sack. She has a younger twin brother named Digby who runs the HH Showcase.

Since her introduction in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Isabelle has become a mascot for the Animal Crossing series along with Tom Nook, appearing in all subsequent games and becoming the fictional head of the official Animal Crossing Twitter account though she would be temporarily replaced by Tom Nook to promote New Horizons until the month of July. Additionally, she is featured in many pieces of non-Animal Crossing media, including cameos in various games and playable roles in Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork from Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival.

Isabelle is a yellow Shih Tzu dog with orange floppy ears and a ponytail. Her hair is tied up with a ribbon that has a bell on top. As such, whenever she walks, a little jingling sound is made.

Clothing[edit]

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, during spring and summer, Isabelle wears a town-hall spring top, featuring a green plaid vest and a blue skirt. During the fall and winter months, Isabelle wears a town-hall winter top, featuring a yellow and brown sweater and a black skirt. In both her outfits, she dons a red ribbon as an accessory. Isabelle can wear these type of clothing in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival during the Board Game as her default and Lv. 2 outfit, though it would differ when using her Summer Outfit or Winter Outfit amiibo figures.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Isabelle wears a coral Nook Inc. aloha shirt and a white skirt in spring and summer, while in fall and winter, she wears a white dress underneath a brown sweater with a white flower insignia and a black skirt. During special occasions and events, Isabelle wears an outfit to match the occasion.

Personality[edit]

In New Leaf, Isabelle tries her hardest to look up to the mayor as their secretary. Whenever the mayor completes a public works project, she will ask the mayor if they want to attend a celebration for the project's completion, and will frown if the mayor bows out of the celebration. She also values the health and safety of the player, especially in instances where the player hasn't played their town in months. During holidays and events, Isabelle will tell the mayor to take a break from their duties in order to enjoy the festivities. She will also close town hall if she ends up going to the plaza to celebrate.

In New Horizons, Isabelle retains her hardworking nature from New Leaf, but she has also been shown to be extroverted, especially in the instance of her morning announcements. Routinely, she occasionally talks about television, or various aspects regarding her life, such as Digby and her missing sock, only to blush after realizing that what she said does not qualify as news. As of 2.0, this doesn't happen as often, as she usually has different announcements to give.

Appearances[edit]

In New Leaf[edit]

Artwork from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Isabelle's main role in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is to act as the player's secretary and to help them with their mayoral duties. At the start of the game, she helps the player settle in by offering them advice, as well as providing them with optional tasks akin to those given by Tom Nook in previous games. In addition, she also helps the player earn their development permit, which allows for the enactment of ordinances and the construction of public works projects, by helping them attain a 100% approval rating and, when the player's house is built, making them a resident of the town. When the player gains the abilities to build public works projects and enact ordinances, she assists the human character with those as well, including the ceremonies when projects are complete.

She spends most of the time in the town hall, but is also the main character to stand in the plaza during events. During such events, the town hall is closed, preventing the player from performing their mayoral duties.

Isabelle takes over Mr. Resetti's role of reminding the player about saving until the Reset Center is built. She may be caught sleeping in the town hall if the player has been mayor for at least seven days and has connected to the internet at least once, and this will allow the Dream Suite to be built on Main Street.

In New Horizons[edit]

Artwork from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Isabelle acts as Tom Nook's assistant for Nook Inc. Her appearance in New Horizons requires the player to move three villagers into houses and wait the full three days for each of them to move in. The day after all three villagers have moved in and unpacked, Tom Nook announces that the Resident Services tent will be upgraded into a full-fledged building and advises everyone to use any functions they need to before construction makes the tent inaccessible. The building closes the following day for construction, and Isabelle will appear inside the building once it is finished. In her appearance for New Horizons, Isabelle now wears shoes and she will wear certain hats and outfits throughout events or seasons.

Isabelle is introduced once the Resident Services building is made. From then on, Isabelle gives the daily announcements instead of Tom Nook.

In the Resident Services building, Isabelle can be seen working around her desk, constantly engaged in an activity, such as looking out of the window or watering the office flowers. If the player sits at the Civic Consultation Center stool, she will help in changing the island tune and flag, resetting other villagers' clothes or speech, and will tell the player about the current island evaluation. Since version 2.0, Isabelle can now enact island ordinances, acting very similar to New Leaf's island ordinances. If the Happy Home Paradise DLC is downloaded, the player can also reset a villager's house interior.

Prior to its removal in version 2.0, when the player scans Isabelle's amiibo card and tries to invite her, she will say:

Hello, this is Isabelle. Player?!
You're so funny! You're practically right in front of me right now, you know!
So, um... What's on your mind?
A visit to the campsite? That sounds like loads of fun...
But...I've got a to-do list a mile long. Do I even have a sleeping bag? No, I'm so sorry, but I really can't go.
It's so nice of you to think of me, though. Some other time, maybe. Thank you!

In Happy Home Designer[edit]

Artwork from Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.

In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Isabelle is an employee at the town hall and gives the player public facility projects, because she has heard of the player's renowned house-building skills. She will follow the player to the facility to provide a list of required items. She can also have a home built for her by scanning her amiibo card via the amiibo phone.

In Pocket Camp[edit]

Artwork from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Isabelle acts as an assistant manager for the player at their campsite, providing tips to bring the most out of their camp, as well as providing various goals for the player to accomplish, from within Market Place. Additionally, by crafting the special item Isabelle's Slideshow, the player can invite Isabelle personally to their campsite.

Other appearances[edit]

In Mario Kart 8[edit]

Isabelle is a playable character who - alongside the Villager - is part of the downloadable content pack Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8, which was released on April 23, 2015. Her signature vehicle is the City Tripper, and she is a lightweight racer. As with all DLC content, she is available in the base game of the Nintendo Switch port.

In the Super Smash Bros series[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Isabelle in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Isabelle has a plethora of roles, each of varying degrees of importance. The secretary makes an appearance as an Assist Trophy, replacing Mr. Resetti as the sole Animal Crossing series Assist Trophy. Once summoned, she tosses fruit at the player who summoned her, which heal them upon contact. However, only the summoner has the advantage of being able to recover by simply touching the fruit; the other players can heal via the fruits, but they first must pick them up and use them as if they were an item. Isabelle will react to any opponents that try to fight her, and will react disappointingly if the summoner gets KO'd.

In addition, Isabelle is a Smash Tour item that, when used, causes all the nearby stat boost items to grow to their maximum size. She also makes a cameo in the first trailer for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.[3]

A Mii Fighter costume based on Isabelle - consisting of a hat and an outfit - was released as downloadable content on June 14th, 2015. The headgear can be adorned by all three variants of Mii Fighter, while the outfit is only available for the Mii Gunner (with the standard gun being replaced with a party popper).

Isabelle

Isabelle

Description NTSC-U: Isabelle is the mayor's highly capable secretary. She can be forgetful sometimes, but you can always count on her for information about the town. She wears her hair up in a bun that makes her look like a shih tzu. Mostly because she is one! She also has a twin brother named Digby.

PAL: Isabelle's the mayor's secretary, and you couldn't ask for someone more on the ball! Well...maybe you could, but she's still full of useful info about life in the town. With her fringe and tied-up hair, she looks just like a shih-tzu! That's because she is one. And so is her twin brother, Digby.

Isabelle (Sweater)[nb 4]

Description NTSC-U: The green check she wears in warmer months suits her perfectly, but when the cold hits, her mustard-yellow cardigan is just too stylish for words. It may make you long for the spring months, though. Hot or cold—nothing makes Isabelle feel under the weather!

PAL: The green chequered vest she wears in warmer months suits her to a T, but when the cold hits, her mustard-yellow cardie is just too stylish for words. That said, it might make you long for spring and all its vibrant beauty! Of course, Isabelle doesn't mind. Hot or cold, she's always a ray of sunshine!

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Isabelle in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Isabelle is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was revealed during the September 13, 2018 Nintendo Direct, tying with the initial teaser reveal for the then-untitled New Horizons. She is marked as a semi-clone of Villager, but is not marked as an Echo Fighter, a term used in Ultimate to mark clones like Lucina. Isabelle is classified as Fighter #68.

In addition to her role as a playable fighter, her Mii Costume from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U returns.

Unlock requirements[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Isabelle is an unlockable fighter; as such she will need to be unlocked by completing either of the following requirements:

  • After a VS. match, a Mob Smash, a Spirit Board, or after exiting World of Light, a new challenger will appear in a specific order, with a wait time of 10 minutes. Isabelle is the 21st fighter to be unlocked after Little Mac.
  • To unlock Isabelle in Classic Mode, the player must complete Classic Mode under Pikachu's branch, being fought after Mega Man.
  • To unlock Isabelle in World of Light, the player must have the spirit of Kapp'n (Wild World) to be able to ride in the Bus to her unlock stage. Isabelle will be fought on Ω version of Town and City as a Grab-type fighter with 3,900 power. Once Isabelle is freed, a simple path is made to the town.

With the exception of the last option, the player would then need to fight Isabelle on Town and City.

Moveset[edit]

Isabelle has various mechanics shared with Villager, including the neutral special Pocket, her grab using a net, her forward tilt swinging an Umbrella, her aerials firing Slingshot, her down and up aerials swinging Turnips, and a sapling pot that she drop for her dash attack.

However, there are some unique movesets for her as well. For instance, her neutral attack has her using a Toy Hammer to attack her opponents. Her forward smash fires a Party Popper and her up smash will result in her pulling up a Do-not-enter Sign.

Special moves[edit]
Move Image Description
Pocket SSBU Neutral B Isabelle.png Isabelle's neutral special. It acts very similar mechanically to Villager's neutral special, where any projectiles thrown is grabbed and stored by Isabelle. She can then use the move again to use the projectile to harm the fighter, or immediately throw it back. Consumables like the Superspicy Curry and Food are used when the move is pressed.
Fishing Rod SSBU Side B Isabelle.png Isabelle's side special. She summons a fishing rod that will catch any fighter which she will immediately throw forward. Previously, the move allowed duplication of Assist Trophies. This was patched in version 2.0.0.
Balloon Trip SSBU Up B Isabelle.png Isabelle's up special. She sits on a wooden platform and glides upwards with two bunny balloons color-coded to the player's color. Her version of Balloon Trip is much shorter than that of Villager's.
Lloid Trap SSBU Down B Isabelle.png Isabelle's down special. She digs a rocket resembling Lloid in the ground, and any fighters that step on the trap will cause the fighter to be launched upwards. The move is akin to a projectile, meaning another Isabelle can pocket one's Lloid Trap and use the move against them.
Isabelle's Final Smash as shown in Move List in Ultimate

Isabelle's Final Smash is Dream Town Hall, acting in a similar mechanic to Villager's Dream House but dealing more damage. Isabelle first traps an opponent before Tom Nook and the Nooklings, where she pays them bells to build her a Town Hall. Once this task is accomplished, the jingle after completing a home loan in New Leaf plays, before the Town Hall explodes that causes knockback and damage to opponents.

Classic Mode[edit]
The congratulation screen obtained when completing Classic Mode as Isabelle in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Isabelle's Classic Mode route is named "Best in Show", and features female fighters present in Ultimate, with Popo of the Ice Climbers as the only male fighter. This is made more clear by the Japanese title 紅23点, using the idiom 紅一点 which typically refers to a woman notable among a group of men. The battles in Isabelle's classic route feature the 23 distinct female characters in Ultimate's base roster: fighters who are inherently female (Samus, Peach, Daisy, Sheik, Zelda, Lucina, Zero Suit Samus, Palutena, and Bayonetta); fighters with distinct female variants (Pikachu Libre, Pokémon Trainer, Wii Fit Trainer, the four female Villagers, Robin, Wendy, Corrin and Inkling); and fighters consisting of multiple characters including a female (Nana of the Ice Climbers, and Rosalina with her Lumas).

Completing Classic Mode as Isabelle will have "Plaza / Title Theme - Animal Crossing: City Folk / Animal Crossing: Wild World" play during the credit sequence.

    • Tips[edit]

    Isabelle's Origins

    • "Isabelle first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf in 2013. She is a secretary that supports the main character, who happens to become the mayor of the town."

    In Her Series

    • "Isabelle is loved by all the residents and is always happy to help. She loves festivals and changes her outfit depending on the season and event."

    Pocket

    • "Use this move to put items or incoming projectiles into Isabelle's pocket. Press the button again to take the item or projectile back out of her pocket."

    Fishing Rod

    • "Cast the fishing hook to catch opponents, then reel them in and launch them forward, backward, up, or down. Opponents and even items can be caught while reeling in the line as well!"
    • "If the fishing hook catches the edge of the stage, you can pull yourself up with it. You can also catch nearby opponents with the hook and bring them down with you."

    Balloon Trip

    • "Unlike the Villager, Isabelle will float up sitting on a swing-like seat attached to bunny-shaped balloons. The move is pretty much the same as the Villager's, but it's, like, super cute."

    Lloid Trap

    • "If someone walks over the buried Lloid, it will rise up and deal damage. After burying Lloid, you can do another down special to make Lloid rise on command."

    Dream Town Hall

    • "Tom Nook and his gang will show up and build the town hall from Animal Crossing: New Leaf on top of an opponent. At the end, it will explode, launching anyone nearby."
    Palutena's Guidance[edit]

    On Palutena's Temple, Pit can initiate a special taunting activation known as a Smash Taunt, where doing so activates Palutena's Guidance, featuring Viridi and Palutena commenting on a fighter that Pit is facing. When Isabelle is chosen for Palutena's Guidance, the following dialogue is presented:

    • Pit: That poor dog looks lost! I'll check its collar.
    • Palutena: That's Isabelle! She has bells on her head. That's why she Isabelle! Her day job is assistant to the mayor of some town. I hear she's the town's hardest worker. She's also cute, courageous, and modest, which is why everyone loves her!
    • Viridi: Hmph. She's overrated if you ask me.
    • Pit: No. One. Did. If Isabelle has so much going for her, why is she fighting in Smash?
    • Palutena: Yeah, it seems like a weird choice. Maybe she just wants to get some exercise.
    • Pit: There's gotta be less violent ways to get your blood pumping.
    • Palutena: She's from the same town as Villager, so their moves are somewhat alike. She's just full of surprises, though. Be extra careful of her Fishing Rod. She'll reel you in like a fish.

    RVs in Welcome amiibo[edit]

    Isabelle has two RVs in Welcome amiibo: one based on the green outfit that she wears during the spring and summer, the town-hall spring top, and one based on the yellow outfit that she wears during the fall and winter, the town-hall winter top. The RV that is summoned to the campground depends on whether the summer-outfit or winter-outfit Isabelle amiibo figurine is scanned. This affects the RV exterior appearance and determines one item inside that is different between the two: the town-hall spring top for the spring RV, and the town-hall winter top for the winter RV.
