Rio is a peppy ostrich villager in the Animal Crossing series. She appears in Doubutsu no Mori, Animal Crossing, Doubutsu no Mori e+, and returns in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Her English name, along with her Japanese name, De Janeiro (デジャネイロ), is likely a reference to the Brazilian city, Rio de Janeiro. Her overall highly-decorated appearance, combined with her name, may be a reference to the dancers at the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. This is supported by her Pocket Camp description, which states she reflexively dances to upbeat music.
In New Horizons, Rio has the music hobby and may sing anywhere without the need of a stereo.
Characteristics
Appearance
Rio is a hot-red ostrich with a green torso. She has an orange star on her cheek highly resembling Woolio's, and a tuft of brown hair on her forehead. She has a multicolored tail with red, orange, yellow, and blue colors. Her wings are mostly green but transition to blue and then to red at the tips. She wears purple eyeshadow.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the peppy personality. For more information, click here.
As a peppy villager, Rio will appear cheerful and friendly, and sometimes will reward others with gifts and compliments. To some villagers however, Rio can appear to be rude sometimes. She has a short attention span and may have the tendency to overreact about small things. She will be easy to befriend, taking comfort in those she talks to most. She may, however, feel insulted when talking to snooty or cranky villagers, who may gossip about her or disagree with her style. She may also find it difficult to talk with lazy villagers, but she gives out comfort to jocks, who are the male equivalent to the peppy villagers. She also gets along well with normal, big sister, and smug villagers.
Villager information
