Tutu is one of two current peppy bears (there are three in total; one was turned into a normal type in New Leaf). She appears polar bear-like, making her even more special than your standard bear. She’s a crowd favorite for people who love aesthetic islands or cute villagers, and we can all see why.
Bottom Line Upfront
Tutu is in all games in the Animal Crossing universe but Wild World, so she is very easy to get in games! She is unique in many ways, one being her name in Japanese is Rennyū (れんにゅう), which translates to condensed milk! Cute, right? She’s one of the three ever peppy bears and one of only 16 bears total! She’s a very recent addition to Pocket Camp, being added in January of 2022. Her house and requests are usually based on ice, relating to her polar bear-like appearance. This article goes over all you need to know about Tutu, as well as best gift ideas, amiibo and e-reader information, houses, and more.

Appearance
Tutu is a tall cream-colored bear. She has a simple design, including small ears at the very top of her head, the inside of them being a bright blue. She has a blonde tuft of hair that looks like bangs. Tutu has dark oval-shaped eyes, blush stretching across her face, and a wide nose right below. She has a small smile that nearly touches her nose.
The ends of her arms and legs are an ombre pastel pink, the same as her pink blush!
Personality
Tutu is a peppy villager, which means she has an upbeat, happy personality. Peppy villagers keep up to date with all the trends. They often talk about T.V. shows, magazines, and pop stars! Peppy villagers are all women, as well. Peppy villagers like everyone, but snooty and cranky villagers tend not to get along with them, which can create some drama.
Why You Want Tutu on Your Island
Tutu is sweet and friendly, as peppy villagers are. Because they get along with the player quickly, they make it easy to love them immediately. Because she is also so cute and pastel, she would fit in perfectly with many, many aesthetic islands: pastel, cottagecore, mushcore, and more! Those aesthetics tend only to have shorter villagers, so Tutu will stand out even more with her tall height.
Houses Across Games
Tutu’s houses have changed a decent amount but have finally settled into that classic peppy pink decor.

Pocket Camp
Tutu was added to Pocket Camp in January 2022; she is one of the more recent releases! Tutu’s theme is cute, her main gift is paper, and you can only get her via Treasure Trekker map. Her map is of gold rarity.
Her phrase is cute! “Tutu’s greatest wish is to be a world-famous cheerleader. Whether you’re buying coffee or pulling weeds, she’ll be there to cheer you on. How else would she practice?”
How to get Tutu in Pocket Camp
Tutu and Pals’ Island from Gulliver is the only way to get her map!
Level gifts:
- At level 7, you’ll get a heart tee and one sparkle stones
- At level 9, you’ll get one sparkle stones
- At level 15, you’ll get a strawberry shaved ice request
- At level 20, you’ll get Tutu’s pic and one sparkle stones
- At levels 25-70, you’ll get one sparkle stones every five levels
Happy Homes
Tutus’ first thought bubble reads, “I love shaved ice, so I need someplace SUPER chill….”
The Client’s vision is “A Place to Literally Chill.” Her required items are a Shaved-Ice Maker and a Windflower Fan. Her favorite song is K.K. Faire.
This is another fascinating and lenient theme! This idea has to be based on her appearance, which looks much like a polar bear. Yes, it has to be literally chill, but who said it couldn’t be metaphorical, as well?
Amiibo
#061 Tutu’s amiibo is a darker green, with Tutu posed playfully in the middle. Tutu’s amiibo is from Series One. The card features her star sign (Virgo), her birthday (September 15), the dice value is 1, and her hand sign is scissors. These symbols are on the left and right corners.
E-Reader
#210 Tutu’s e-reader card is filled with shapes of different colors, and she’s posed with her hand on her hip and head. On the back, it shows much more information: her gender (female), her star sign (Virgo), her clothes (heart shirt), and her “pet phrase,” which is twinkles.
Her profile reads: “Tutu, who hails from the North Pole, is sold when it comes to eating anything cold. Snacks that make most creatures freeze, Tutu can eat with consummate ease. There’s nothing Tutu likes better than a good brain freeze. Snow cone, anyone?”
FAQ:
Question: Is Tutu rare?
Answer: Not particularly. She has an e-reader card and an amiibo and has been in every game since Animal Crossing. She can come into your village or island naturally.
Question: Are there plushies of Tutu?
Answer: No officially licensed plushies from Nintendo of Tutu, but small businesses carry their own version of her merch!
Question: Is Tutu popular?
Answer: Tutu is a solid B-tier villager on most lists, so she is liked but maybe not too well known. Everyone I’ve known that has had Tutu loved her, and I’m sure you would love her too! The polar/cold theme is similar to some penguins but with a bear twist.
Conclusion
Tutu is an enjoyable inclusion to any Animal Crossing game, and I cannot recommend her more. Her aesthetic is cutesy and fun. Her upbeat personality and adorable interactions will brighten your whole day.
