cetti

Cetti is a fictional character from the *Animal Crossing* video game series, developed by Nintendo. Introduced in *Animal Crossing: New Leaf* (2012) for the Nintendo 3DS, Cetti is a small, cheerful bird who serves as the primary character in the game’s "New Leaf" mode. Unlike the human protagonist in *Animal Crossing: City Folk*, players control Cetti directly, guiding her through various tasks and interactions within the village.

Cetti is depicted as a friendly, energetic bird with a bright yellow beak, brown feathers, and a distinctive red spot on her chest. She wears a simple white apron and carries a basket, which she uses to collect items for villagers. Her personality is warm and approachable, making her a central figure in the game’s storytelling. Players can customize her appearance slightly, though her design remains largely consistent across the series.

In *Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer* (2015), Cetti also appears as a playable character, allowing players to explore her home and interact with her in a more relaxed setting. She continues to be a beloved figure in the franchise, known for her role in fostering community and cooperation within the game’s virtual world.

Cetti’s design and gameplay presence reflect the series’ emphasis on simplicity, charm, and player engagement. Her inclusion in *New Leaf* marked a shift in how players interacted with the *Animal Crossing* universe, blending storytelling with hands-on gameplay. While she does not appear in later mainline titles like *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*, her legacy remains significant in the series’ history.
