Blathers

Blathers is a brown-feathered owl with a pair of big pink round cheeks, a yellow beak, and a pair of large, feathered eyebrows with light-brown dots. He possesses a cream-colored face with a pair of large white eyes with black pupils, as well as a white and light-brown checkered chest (similar to an argyle sweater) with a green bow tie. On the sides of his body exist a pair of large wings, which he uses as arms, as well as a pair of yellow talons with dark-brown stripes and white sharp toenails used as legs. He also has white linings almost reaching to his black hands and tail's end.

Personality Blathers is a dignified, proper individual who speaks in a refined manner. He is knowledgeable on all of the subjects donated to the museum, offering detailed explanations of each and being able to discern real art from forgeries.

However, despite being a museum curator who must accept bugs as part of his donations, Blathers apparently has entomophobia, being disgusted when the player donates a bug to him and reluctantly accepting the donation. When asked to describe a bug species, he will do so in a highly contemptuous and repulsed manner.

Being an owl, Blathers sleeps during daytime, even while tending to the museum, and will always wake up at 6 PM. He can be woken up if the player wishes to talk to him, however.

Background As a child, he was brought up in the city with his sister Celeste, living in his parent's house. After finishing school, he went on to university, completing a number of degrees until reaching the doctorate level. Before he could complete his studies, he was approached by his professor, who recommended that he take up a post in a country museum, as all the curators of the main Farway Museum refused to move from their posts. Blathers accepted the offer enthusiastically and despite occasional homesickness, he remains at his post. As a result of this move, Blathers still has not finished his doctorate. Blathers is, as confirmed in Wild World, in his mid-twenties.[1]

Relationships Blathers and Celeste are siblings who help one another, as Celeste is seen working with Blathers in the museum, even if they share conflicting interests. Blathers has overacted numerous times to the sight of insects while Celeste was in his presence, leading Blathers to condemn himself and believe himself to be a "substandard" brother to her. Because of this, Blathers sees himself as someone needing to redeem himself to his sister, wondering if he should take her on certain activities that she may enjoy. Blathers considers Brewster, an employee at his museum, to be somewhat "simple." Blathers has described Brewster to be "entertaining" to him as a result, though he does not mean to insult him, as shown when he struggles to find a right word to describe him. In New Leaf, Blathers describes Brewster as an old friend and allows the mayor to unlock the Roost Café as a public works project.

he always speaks with a "Hoo" in his sentances, like an owl would since he is an owl.
