Practical roles

Quick notes

  • Town services are spread across landmarks. Tom Nook, the post office and the museum each handle different tasks.
  • Blathers has the original fossil role. He accepts identified fossils.
  • Villagers are more than a fixed checklist. Neighbors can move and offer requests, so the exact cast differs between towns.
  • This covers key service characters. The table highlights recurring town services rather than listing every possible resident.
