3. Isabelle
Out of all of the characters on this list, Isabelle was introduced in Animal Crossing most recently, yet she is one of the most recognizable characters in the entire series.
She is the lovable secretary who made her debut in New Leaf. She is completely dedicated to making the town a great place to live and helps the mayor in numerous ways.
Her role in New Horizons is a bit smaller: she simply works in Town Hall and gives the morning updates. She’s not all that useful, but hey, we still love her… let’s just give her something new to do soon, yeah?
Isabelle was met with such positive reception that she found her way into other Nintendo games, such as Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so it’s no surprise that she comes in at #3 on our ranking.
