Besides your villagers that roam in your town and in the City, there are a number
of different characters throughout the game!

Blanca is a cat with no face, who relies on you to draw it back on for him. She
only appears if you have WiiConnect24 turned on. You do not receive any special
gifts for having Blanca and drawing her face on, but she will not leave, thereby
keeping out any other special visitors, until you draw her a new face. If you do,
she will travel to another village the next day.
Chip- 2nd/3rd Saturday of eight months (excluding June through September)
Chip is a beaver who hosts the fishing tourney in town. Participation in a tourney
requires players to hand Chip a fish, which he then measures. The player or villager
that hands him the longest fish during the tourney is the winner. Each of the tourneys
has its own trophy which is mailed to the winner and arrives the morning of the
day after the tourney.

Franklin is a turkey. Talk to Tortimer first, and he'll teach you a bit of history,
and give you a knife and fork. Then hunt down Franklin in your town, and trade the

trouble locating Franklin, you may give your knife and fork to a villager. They
will tell you a 'suspicious character' was seen near a house or landmark.

pop into the shop and give you a helpful fashion tip. If you talk to her while wearing

Fact: In the original Japanese version, Gracie was male. The gender was changed
to female when the game was introduced to other countries.

Gulliver is a seagull as a UFO flying across the sky horizontally (eastwards or
westwards). The UFO can be shot using a slingshot and can make more than one pass
over a town on a day it is scheduled to appear. If the UFO is shot, a single spaceship
part (resembles a gear) can be found right after shooting the UFO, and the next
day a crashed UFO will appear at a random location on the beach with Gulliver next
to it. Gulliver needs to be spoken to multiple times before waking up, at which
point he will request that the player find the spaceship part. If this is done,
Gulliver will hand the player one of the following items at random: Arc de Triomphe,
Chocolate, compass, Manneken Pis, Matryoshka, merlion, mermaid statue, Metroid,

Changes that work include hats, glasses, masks, flowers, the Mii mask, the character's
hairstyle, umbrellas, and designs (used on either a hat or an umbrella). Wear a
hat with several different glasses works. Changing shirts does not have any effect.
Joan- Every Sunday from 6 AM - Noon

turnips that you can sell at Nook's store for a nice profit if you play your cards
right. White turnips come in bunches of 10, 50, or 100. White turnips can be sold
on any day except Sundays. The Stalk Market prices vary from day to day (with both
AM and PM pricing). Monitor prices each day by talking to Tom Nook. Sell your White
turnips for as high a price a possible to maximize your profits. However, don't
get too greedy or else you may have to sell them at a loss. White turnips rot after
a week and are then useless so be sure to sell them before the following Sunday
to regain some of your invested bells. Red turnips are sold in seed packets. You
can buy one packet per week from Joan. If you plant one and water it everyday for
a week you can then sell it for a max of 16,000 bells at Nook's store. Once the
red turnip is dug up it can't be replanted. However, red turnips do not spoil so
you can store them for long periods of time.
