In the ''[[Animal Crossing (universe)|Animal Crossing]]'' series, the player acts as the sole human in a town filled with friendly anthropomorphic animals. The player doesn't have a universal appearance, with the look of the player being determined by a series of questions presented by the first non-playable character the player interacts with. Usually this NPC is Rover the Cat, who introduces the player to ''Animal Crossing''. This survey not only determines the player's face, but also the villager's gender, the name of their town, and the layout of their town.
