Everyone knows what a teddy bear is: brown, cuddly, and cute stuffed toys resembling a bear. If you did not have one when you were a child, you know someone who did. One can find comfort in it, like a friend you can always have anywhere you go. We may have grown up to be boring adults, but the love for cute bears still lingers within many of us.
If you have been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons on your Nintendo Switch, then I know of a particular villager who you may love. She is exactly like a brown, cuddly, and cute teddy bear. Let me introduce you to Maple, a villager in the series you can have on your island.
Her looks are so innocent and pure it would be a crime to reject her desire to live with you. I would rank her similarly to Pekoe, another bear cub I have as a villager. Since she is a normal villager, she is fun to have and interact with. If you plan to have Maple as a neighbor on your island, then read on further to find out more about her.
Bottom Line Up Front
Here are essential details about Maple in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that you need to know.
- Name: Maple
- Gender: Female
- Species: Bear cub
- Personality: Normal
- Birthday: June 15 (Gemini)
- Catchphrase: “honey”
- Favorite clothing style: Simple and Cute
- Favorite colors: Beige and Green
Who is Maple?
Maple is a female bear cub villager with a normal personality who appeared in the first game of the series, Doubutsu no Mori. Ever since then, she appeared in every entry, including the newest one, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Outside of the main games, her other appearances include Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, and Pocket Camp.
Many fans think that her name is inspired by maple trees, as they have light-brown leaves similar to Maple’s fur color. Others believe that her name takes inspiration from maple syrup instead since it is more accurate in terms of color.
Furthermore, the maple syrup analogy could indicate a sweet bear. Still, both instances refer to maple trees in general. Her catchphrase is “honey,” which can be a reference to her being sweet, although it can also be a reference to what bears stereotypically love to eat.
Her favorite saying throughout all the games is, “waste not, want not.” She has a hobby of education, and so you may find her wearing glasses and reading novels outside. She would also use a magnifying glass sometimes when she is near particular objects. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, villagers have picture quotes, and hers is the only instance where a villager mentions another character.
Her quote is, “Maple + Moppina = BFF!” If you have not played Wild World or New Leaf, Moppina is a character in both games that do not make an appearance. They are only referenced by the villagers, although it is revealed that it is only a mop that normal villagers consider their best friends.
Maple’s Appearance
Maple is a bear cub with brown fur and creamy white paws on her arms and legs. Her muzzle and the inside of her ears are also creamy white, and she has a pale red blush on her cheeks. Her nose and eyes are dark, and she has long eyelashes. She sports short bangs on her head, and in New Horizons, she initially wears a beige sweater with a pine tree print.
In her appearances from Doubutsu no Mori to Animal Crossing: City Folk, she wore an orange shirt with a gingham pattern. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, her initial clothes changed and became a yellow tee with an orange and green crisscross pattern.
You may see her holding a pink and violet umbrella known as a candy umbrella in Animal Crossing: New Horizons when it is raining. In the previous entry, she can be seen holding a petal parasol instead, which is a parasol designed like a flower. She carries with her a white phone and a classy handbag.
Maple’s Personality
Maple is a normal villager, and in a related manner, they are known as sweet villagers. As discussed before, Maple’s name and catchphrase may reference the sweet maple syrup from sugar maple trees. Like other normal villagers, she is sweet to everyone, including you. She does not have strong opinions, so she can get along well with anyone.
As a normal villager, she would offer tips that you may find helpful. She rarely gets annoyed or angry during conversations with other villagers. Thanks to the final free update of New Horizons, she can visit your house, or she can invite you to see hers.
She wakes up at 6 AM and sleeps at midnight in New Horizons and New Leaf. However, in City Folk and Wild World, she wakes up at 5 AM and sleeps at 1 AM. In Animal Crossing, she still wakes up at 5 AM but sleeps at 9 PM. She is friendly with others and would rarely get into arguments with them.
Maple’s House Throughout the Games
Her house’s exterior design looks different throughout all the games, though her interior design mainly stayed the same until New Horizons. Throughout Animal Crossing, Wild World, and City Folk, her home has ranch flooring and walls, which contain designs that look like plants and flowers. She also has various teddy bears on display.
Below is a detailed description of the items within her house.
Maple’s House in Animal Crossing
In Animal Crossing, she has eight different sizes and designs teddy bears. She also has three rubber trees in pots, two on the left corners and one near the window to the right. On the upper-left corner is a ranch tea table where one of the tiny teddies and a potted gerbera sit.
Near the middle is a classic round table and to the right near the window is a turntable. She has two gyroids in the room, one being a Mini Lullaloid and a Tall Lullaloid.

At the left near the window, a retro stereo where music titled “I Love You” is playing at the left near the window.

On the left side of her room, you can see a wooden desk, bed, an upright piano, and a pink velvet stool. A potted devil’s ivy (also known as a pothos plant) lies on the top-right corner of the room, and a hi-fi stereo plays “I Love You.”
Above the window to the right of her room is an air conditioner, and near the window is a white sofa with a wide table at its front. A brown baby bear sits on the table. Another table (albeit round) sits on the lower-right corner with another baby bear (albeit white) sitting on top. Beside it is a humongous brown mama bear.

An aqua retro dotted rug lies in the middle of the room with a low wooden table and a cute cushion. Several items are on the table, including an aqua mug and an open magazine.
She has a white gas range, a white mini fridge with a revolving spice rack on top, and a pot rack on the wall at the top-left corner of her room. She has a wooden end table with a cute music player on top playing “Forest Life,” a dark brown baby teddy, and a macrame tapestry at the top-right corner of her room. Between all these items is a wood-burning black iron stove.
At the left of her room near the window is a birdcage, and at the right of her room is her bed and a magazine rack. A potted anthurium plant greets you near the door as you enter the room.
Her house’s exterior consists of a maple brown conical roof and cream white walls with small rectangular blocks protruding outwards. She has a red door with an orange lamp emanating light beside it. Her window’s frames are made of sticks tied with rope, and a sign hangs below it indicating who owns the house.
