The vast world ofAnimal Crossingfeatures tons of adorable animal villagers that all have their own little personalities and unique styles. However, there are a few villagers that stand out from the rest. Most villagers don’t have any default clothes that they maintain on their character model when changing into a new set of clothes, as well as any headgear.

Agent S sports a bit of a different look from her other animal friends and there’s a bit of lore that explains her unique appearance. Here are a few things mostAnimal Crossingfans may not already know about Agent S.
10She First Appeared In Animal Forest e+
The original Nintendo 64game in Japaneventually came out with a port to the GameCube. With that port came an exclusive update,Dobutsu no Mori e+,which English-speaking fans refer to asAnimal Forest e+.
Agent S is much older than many Western fans may first assume, as her first appearance was all the way back in 2003’sAnimal Forest e+. For American fans, her first appearance was made inAnimal Crossing: Wild World, in 2005.
9Her Style Changed Drastically Over The Years
As far as Agent S’s appearance in the newest title,Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the cheery squirrel wasn’t always thejock everyone came to love. Her choice of furniture consisted of the Cabana series for the most part during her appearances inAnimal Forest e+,Wild World, andCity Folk. However, fromAnimal Crossing: New Leafto the currentNew Horizonsrelease, she’s undergone a drastic change in taste.
Agent S went from a cozy cabin vibe with the Cabana series to styling her humble abode with multiple furniture sets to create her now-signature jock vibe. It seems as if she truly invested every second of her time into the hero life.
8She’s The Second Of The Superhero Villagers
Fans may notice that Agent S has a unique look among the rest of her animal friends. However, she isn’t the only villager that sports this unique superhero look.
Agent S is actually the second of the superhero villagers featured throughout theAnimal Crossingseries. So far, there are a total of seven superhero villagers: Kid Cat, Agent S, Big Top, Rocket, Victoria, Mira, and Frilly.

Kid Cat, Agent S, Big Top, and Rocket all first appear in numbered outfits as their default clothes. Perhaps they’ve all coordinated to form a big (and adorable) superhero team.
7Pocket Camp Suggests She’s A True Hero Now
In Agent S’sappearance inHappy Home Designer, she requests a superhero training area as the motif for her home. At that point she seems to be in training, however, by herPocket Campappearance, it seems as if she’s fulfilled her dream.
Once the player meetsAgent S inPocket Camp, her profile reads, “With her boundless energy and small size, Agent S is invaluable in the battle against injustice. Look out evildoers! (You may have to squint.)”
Despite her small size, it seems as if Agent S has finally finished her training and graduated to become a true hero.
6She’s A “Peppy” Type Squirrel
There are a variety of personality types found throughout theAnimal Crossingseries. Male and female villagers can fall under four personality types each inNew Horizons, combining for a total of eight. This allows for an array of unique villagers thatrange from lazy catsto smug bunnies.
The beloved Agent S happens to be apeppy squirrel. A rather fitting personality type for a superhero like herself, fighting evil with a smile on.
5What The “S” In Her Name Stands For Is Unknown
There’s no explicit information given to indicate what the “S” in Agent S’s name stands for; however many fans speculate that it may stand for “squirrel.” As that may be an obvious answer, the other possibility is a bit more interesting as fans also speculate that it may actually stand for “sidekick.”

“Sidekick” is actually Agent S’s catchphrase, so perhaps Agent S and Kid Cat are a crimefighting duo.
4Her Birthday Is July 2nd
Every adorableAnimal Crossingvillagerhas an official birthdateand Agent S happens to be born on July 2, making her a Cancer. It’s always a good idea to do gift shopping ahead of time to ensure no animal friends are forgotten on their special day.
When it comes to picking out a gift for Agent S, focus on fitness-themed goods that reflect her favorite colors, blue and black.
3Her Japanese Name Is “Ni Go”
Another little detail thatsupports the theorythat Agent S is Kid Cat’s sidekick and that the “S” in her name stands for “sidekick” as well is her Japanese name.
In the Japanese version of the game, Agent S is “Ni Go,” which roughly translates into “#2.” This theory makes perfect sense as Kid Cat sports gear that has the “#1” on it.
2She Has A Short Attention Span
Most likely due to her peppy personality type, Agent S happens to be a bit forgetful. She often forgets arguments she has or any unfinished favors asked of the player.
But don’t be cruel and take advantage of her! Make sure to finish any favors or tasks the superhero squirrel asks of the player; Agent S may have a short attention span but that doesn’t mean she’ll forget acts of kindness.
1The Blue Parts Of Her Limbs Are A Permanent Part Of Her Design
Being a superhero means being ready to fight off evildoers at any moment, and Agent S has this rule down for sure.No matter what clothes are givento her, the dark blue parts of her limbs always remain the same dark blue she sports on her helmet.
While likely not actually part of her body (do animals dye their fur in theAnimal Crossingworld?), it seems as if the superhero suit is an absolute must for the incredibly dedicated Agent S.
