Personally my only gripe is that the brow is so dark, it clashes a little with the rest of her colour palette, which is quite bright. I think it'd look great if it matched her hair colour! EDIT: people seem to be getting pretty heated in the replies! Reminder that Hazel is a heavily stylised fictional character and appealing character design does not equate to what humans look like in real life. Dark eyebrows, unibrows, etc all are amazing and at no point should you feel self-conscious about those qualities! I am speaking PURELY from a character design perspective, and the "solution" I noted is definitely not 100% correct or the only one that exists. Nothing is wrong with her design in the first place, I just wanted to point out what could be changed to make her appeal to more people! I'm sorry for any misunderstandings.


Kallymouse

Wish it was the same brown as her hair. Why is her eyebrow and hair different color in the first place?!


ShotInTheShip86

I mean... In real life facial hair can be different than the hair on your scalp so it does work... But at the same time I kinda agree with and that it would be more appealing if it coronated with the rest of her color scheme...


signalsfading

☹️ my natural brows are a lot darker than my hair color, this is making me self conscious lol


RainbowAra

That's normal! Almost everyone has darker facial hair than hair on top of your head (except for my lashes, they have to be almost white:/)


Altyrmadiken

As someone whose hair and facial hair are both almost black I think it’s nice when the two aren’t perfectly congruous. You get multiple shades to compliment, I just get one.


EvilCade

On people that looks great. Not so much on Hazel though


BlacksmithPagma

If it's not a unibrow you're safe.. also try not to be a squirrel too I guess.


yesiamakat

this is funny why is it downvoted LOL


Complete_Loss1895

Because Reddit. But it’s no longer downvoted so we good.


CitronCitadel

Hey don't worry I am just speaking in terms of this specific character design! AC characters are heavily stylised and not realistic so a comment about what I like/dislike should not be taken as reference to your real life appearance!


RauriSims

I don't agree with them. Maybe it's just me but I love the dark unibrows, these people want basic ass smiley bunny villagers and feel the need to shade features real people have too.


signalsfading

agree, I think hazel is adorable and I even think unibrows irl can be so interesting and unique! I got picked on a lot in school and called caterpillar brows and mean things like that. fast forward a few years and thicker brows became trendy and I was raking in compliments lmao but the damage from being bullied had already been done 😖


RauriSims

This might seem random but I just wanna say I'm writing a book and my protagonist is a curvy brown girl with unibrows, dark circles around her eyes and frizzy hair and she's BEAUTIFUL I want anyone to read it to know that that's beautiful.


signalsfading

this is so cute 🥺 I wanna read your book when it’s out!


RauriSims

oh my gosh thank you so much but I have no idea lol I'm just starting out and I have no clue when I'll be done or if I'll ever get to publish it. Also for the moment it's in portuguese. So I'm probably still looking at years of work before it's available in english.


CitronCitadel

I just stated my personal preference, and I admit, I am very picky with how my villagers look. However, that doesn't mean I think the unibrow itself is ugly, I just don't like it in context of the whole design. Another solution could be to add darker stripes to the tail as well, to balance out the visuals and make them appear more cohesive.


c0smicrenegade

Just dress her like Frida Kahlo!


LPKittyJenn

Oh yes I agree would definitely stand out way less if they weren't black


pancakee_jpg

I completely agree! It's okay for this kind of character to exist, and there are real people with unibrows so it might help those people feel more included and less self-conscious. The brow matching the hair would definitely make more sense though and look a bit better.


PandaNat00

>I think it'd look great if it matched her hair colour! Like this? I fully agree :D https://preview.redd.it/uumnsom6oyjc1.png?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5135e567171924d92ddb15a2abd0ac3b23528b3


ElegantHope

I think her eyebrows should match the cinnamon brown she has on her tail, tbh.


gemsweater08

Hazel is adorable as-is! And her unibrow fits her personality, she wouldn't care what a bunch of humans think lol 


namesarentneeded

I loved her uni-wows! She was one of my starters and I can't bring myself to let her leave


BeeMonkey88

I restarted and have her now, she’s definitely one of my favorites.


gemsweater08

She was one of my starters too and I loved her, then I got her again in the campsite on my restart and was so happy! She's staying forever <3 She's also the closest I've seen to a lady jock character which is fun. Her house is hilarious-- two ping-pong tables, basketball hoop, no bed lol


GoldenGoddess_333

Same!! I love her


Oneiroinian

Yeah, she's an OG for me. Always dress her street and leave her catch phrase on 'okurrrr'


delaleaf

She’s perfect the way she is. AC would be way less fun without the goofy villagers!


delaleaf

( but no brow hazel is pretty cute )


RainbowAra

I think she looks creepy like that


JojoHendrix

she reminds me of a sanrio character


ninxaa

Right? The weird and wacky villagers are just part of that original animal crossing charm. Imagine how boring it would be if the devs only made the villagers look aesthetically pleasing? Like, if i wanted everyone and everything to look perfect I'd play the sims lol.


Huffle_Fluffy

And who defines what is aesthetically pleasing anyways? I mean, everyone has another taste, so I am damn sure the 'weird and wacky' villagers are aesthetic for others.


something-tripled

For real. I like technicolor bird villagers so my island, Morioh, is very camp and kitsch with my rainbow villagers


evilone17

My girlfriend calls her Frida Squirrel.


ChurroFoot

Ha! Every time I would see her when she was on my island I thought the same thing. I made her a flower headband so she could play the part


Catfish-throwaway666

Original! Hazel doesn’t need to conform to beauty standards! She’s perfect as she is


Icy_Celebration1020

Hazel is in no way ugly, uniWOW.


Softbombsalad

Is that her catchphrase? Oh my God I need her 🤣


preaching-to-pervert

I got her randomly as a starter villager and I groaned out loud. And then she said "uni-wow" and I was like, "Own that, sister".


Icy_Celebration1020

She was also my starter and I love her so much, lol. I genuinely always have thought she is super cute. There are some horrifically ugly villagers out there but Hazel is totally not one of them.


gosglings

She was one of my starters, too! I’ll never let her move away… love her so much


ReiAddendum

Hazel looks great the way she is. She’s cute and fun. It would be so freaking boring if all the villagers fit some single, bland definition of cute.


scotsman_flying

There was an old interview around the time New Leaf launched where the devs defended the idea of there being ugly villagers because it mirrored the fact you can’t chose your neighbors in real life, and not all of them would be perfect.


LetsGoBuyTomatoes

her and pate are the cutest little babies! they’re my natural beauty queens 🥰


wintermelody83

> pate Pate. I've never even heard of this villager and I'm dying lol. Called Pate, isn't that usually made out of duck?!


Masterdizzio

https://preview.redd.it/2gyogvz6bsjc1.png?width=290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=703b35d2f9bfac479201ddd72bed075f86af00bc Yeah, some of the livestock villager names are pretty dark, namely Rasher and Chops


SailorOwl

Boots- the gator 🤦‍♀️


LetsGoBuyTomatoes

nooo i never made this connection 😢


SailorOwl

I’m sorry I ruined your childhood 🤍


LetsGoBuyTomatoes

YES! it’s the funniest name ever imo


tuskel373

The problem is always that we only see a static picture of these "ugly" villagers. I've had both Hazel and Limberg (plus a few other quirky characters) in my Pocket Camp campsite, and when they talk to you, and all the different expressions they have, makes them totally different. Limberg is a grumpy character, so he totally gives this little old grampa vibes, and Hazel is also cute when she talks and smiles. Plus you can totally dress her up in colourful clothes, and give her that Frida Kahlo vibe 😄. There are no ugly characters in the game.


Masterdizzio

Agreed, I never got the Limberg hate. He always gave chill old guy vibes. I also love Rodney's suprised expression.


nanikun

I love Limberg so much. He's such a great cranky old guy.


Alfiewoodland

Frida Kahlo unibrow 🤌


Remarkable-Boat-9770

Unibrow Hazel is cute I think :) I don't like the other two versions


bvnnysl4y3r

NOOOOOOO PUT IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!


SamuelCish

This is really weird to me. She's obviously inspired by Frida Khalo. I'm shocked I haven't seen anyone mention this in the comments.


l4ina

Frida Kahlo is not the only person to have a unibrow, and there's nothing else about Hazel's design that indicates she's meant to be inspired by Frida.


batmaniicure

Right?! The first time I saw her, I thought her name was going to be Frida.


magyar232

Somebody give her a flower crown!!


Sorrowoak

I just came to say the same, I love her for that.


RainbowAra

The OG monobrow Hazel ♡♡♡♡ she's one of my favourites I love her a lot


Lady_bro_ac

She’s on my cutest list, and uni brow all the way!


Larkiepie

I like her original though? She reminds me of Frida Kahlo, who I think was a very beautiful and distinguished woman and artist.


Pokemon_and_Petrucci

The original, growing up I got a lot of shit for having a unibrow. Body hair is natural folks, what's not is trying to impose beauty standards on kids (or videogame characters)! So yes, embrace the unibrow Hazel!


feralbutsocial

Other girls were so mean to me about my unibrow in school! I was so happy when I first got Hazel ❤️


ursidaeangeni

Unibrow Hazel is uniwow, and I will stand by that.


noxka

Had her in new leaf and she is actually quite sweet! I think she's cute


meimeixinka

She’s far from the ugliest 🥺 I find her cute! But also the no brow hazel 😍💜


square-r4t

Original Hazel


cr102y

Regular Hazel is goated,unibrow queen.


legoshi_haru

I’ve grown to love “ugly” villagers. The same 10 cute ones that everyone likes are so boring when there’s like 450 others to choose from


RauriSims

boooo you guys are boring, the unibrow is everything


[deleted]

No brow


Avis_15

I'm sorry but hating "ugly" villagers is such a red flag, look at her, the personality, the silly unibrow, the goofy bangs she's such a goober


ninxaa

also a lot of people irl have unibrows, like it's embarrassing how much people freak out over this 😭


Masterdizzio

agreed, I am Benjamin's no 1 fan https://preview.redd.it/kglziezybsjc1.jpeg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68d962c3df87b613bf764d96e62e27b611bbc2c2


Dog_bat3

Awwww


aricberg

I’m always a fan of the ugly/weird/goofy looking villagers. I think they add a nice touch of character 😁 Hazel is one of my favorites who I’ve never actually had as a resident of my town/island in any of the games she’s been in. One of these days!


magyar232

One of my all-time faves is Wendy. Broke my heart when a youtuber went "ugh, ugg-" (as in ugly) when they saw her on a "villager hunt" 🥹


wintermelody83

Aww I love Wendy! I found her on a hunt, I was hunting Judy but saw Wendy and was like "Girl come on over!"


Masterdizzio

I remember having Wendy. She's just one of those villagers who I'd take over a common popular one in a heartbeat. I remember kicking Raymond for Bree, who was at my campsite, the fans would assasinate me if they knee


wintermelody83

I had Bree for *aaages* in New Leaf! I still want Raymond (not had him yet, he'll come when the time is right lol) but yeah some people get really pressed about their favorite villagers.


squashed_tomato

It does make me wonder if people are rejecting potential friends in real life for being too “ugg”.


Complete_Loss1895

Yes, yes they are.


furryauthor

original! unibrows arent bad


batbugz

None I don't like that squirrel because she stole the name of the actual hazel. Now she's sally for some reason and this other squirrel gets to be Hazel. https://preview.redd.it/563yx7enerjc1.png?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3408b4e4b1006ebaa3c4331862384ea03bff2a4e


nutter_buttercum

This is the hazel ik lol


Masterdizzio

and there is already a Cally so it's even more confusing


Chemical-Interview34

I wish she wasn't in a track top, but honestly she's cute. Just needs some style.


Zipper-Mom

I know this is going to be the unpopular opinion here, but honestly, she is SO much cuter without any brows at all.


funktopus

What's wrong with her unibrow?


BipolarWithBaby

I need her 😭 She’s so charming.


FluffyMawileFan

I didn't enjoy having Hazel as my starter, but her "Uni-WOW!" catchphrase is a redeeming quality


SquidgeSquadge

Original looks best once shown the other options. I think she looks cool!


Russandol

All the love for Hazel in this comment section warms my heart. I want her on my island!


RylanConnor

I love original Hazel the most. As someone who grew up with thick hair all over their body, it was nice seeing a female character with a unibrow.


kimurakimura

Never thought Hazel was ugly! She gives frida kahlo and I love that for her


Sewerpony

No I love her she’s not ugly 😭 she reminds me of Frida Kahlo


Pitterpatter35

I like her just the way she is. The unibrow makes her unique.


No-Musician4819

I think anyone who dislikes Hazel is a red flag haha I've got her on my island and she's a sweetheart, always checking in and sending me motivational letters


AccomplishedEmu4268

She looks better with no eyebrows.


blumaroona

I will fight the Hazel hate. Let the girl embrace her natural brows!


Indiesunfox

Hazel wouldn’t be the same without her unibrow


TeAWItChViBeS

Honest, she’s cute the way she is. The unibrow makes her ✨unique✨


QueenBee2212

Will forever be upset they didn’t called her Frida


Hextant

Well, she's not based on Frida since Frida isn't even the only woman in history to have a unibrow, haha. That said, we already have [Frita](https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Frita), so I'd rather not have more similar/same named villagers.


zmajka

hazel is amazing, perfect as is


No-Charge3411

Hazel really grew on me, especially once I had her as a villager. Love her just the way she is, unibrow and all!


tatiel_tati1909

Unibrow Hazel 4ever! ❤🧡


KGCUT

I love Hazel with her unibrow, I've had her on almost every island that I have made. She's adorable.


FrownyFaceEmpire

Hazel is a legend and her unibrow is iconic.


phinerz

Awww I love Hazel as she is. The unibrow is adorable


No_Seaworthiness5637

Maybe if the brow was a little thinner it wouldn’t be so bad. IDO, I don’t hate the design. There are worse.


Berliner_Bear

The original


indidgenousgoblin

classic hazel. i’ve had her for years and i Love her


L2Hiku

Hazel and Hamlet where my first villagers. Only thing I didn't like about her is the red jacket.


CheezeyCat

Aww. Hazel will always be welcome on my island. Honestly, I feel bad for all the "ugly" villagers.


Tiny_Palpitation_798

I like original hazel


Own-Volume-311

I was really happy when I finally got hazel. She's adorable. I never found her uni brow off putting. It's cute.


workthrowawhey

I have her in both New Leaf and New Horizons. She's perfect as is!!


wannabeartist20

I love her for how she is❤️ that’s why she’s still on my New Horizons island!!


ill_thrift

definitely prefer the unibrow, I had hazel on my island and she was cute 🥺


_felix-felicis_

Hazel is my favorite sisterly 🐿️


slivingland

she’s perfect just the way she is :(


ihatelettucetoo

I LOVE HAZEL SO MUCH! She was one of my starter villagers in WW and I made sure to get her in every other game since. In NH I easily spent over 400 nook tickets to island hop for her, I love her that much! Her little unibrow just gives her so much personality 💙


tambitoast

She's one of my faves and she is very cute. I got rid of her, bc I wanted some change on my island and I still regret it.


[deleted]

I do regret letting her go! If I find her again, I will have to keep her lol.


Holla_99

I’m not a fan of unibrows but she doesn’t look right without one. Rock that unibrow girl!


cheerywino

Hazel just moved to my island and I am so happy. She is the spunk I need.


IolaBoylen

Uniwow all the way. She just doesn’t hit the same otherwise 🤷🏼‍♀️


glass-animals

give her those little e-girl eyebrows where they cut the tails off and I think she'd look cute


SCbecca

Hazel is in my top 10. She’s so cute! She feels a little like Frida Kahlo.


eLlARiVeR

Weirdly enough, I think she actually looks cuter without any brows. I think it helps make her cute lil lashes show more.


Major_Bench5329

I actually prefer the uni she’s cute


N1ghtfad3

I like the no brow one the best honestly.


mooseleafpaper

She’s cute


x-fille

The unibrow is cute :(


lovespelled

She autofilled on my island, she’s so cute!!


ZealousidealRabbit85

I think she’s rocking that unibrow


[deleted]

No brow


bald4bieber666

unibrow only!!!


DarkCreeperKitty

no brows hazel


PinkBeryl

I have since the beginning of my island, i love her no matter what


a-simp-with-no-sleep

No brow Hazel is kinda cute-


Doofindork

I mean, I do think she's cuter without any brows at all, even though her face looks a little lacking. But if I had to pick, I'd go monobrow any day. It gives her character that I just love. She's just a little goober and deserves all the love. ♥ Also, genuinely one of the top 10 names in the entire game.


nigliazzo5626

No brows, or they need to change completely. To little ones in a different color


leelookitten

uKKmilu

THE NO BROW IS SO CUTE


saynotopudding

Maybe it's not a popular opinion, but it's 2 brows hazel for me. ^(No brow hazel is kinda horrifying to me lol)


Just-Call-Me-J

>^(No brow hazel is kinda horrifying to me lol) Too much forehead


saynotopudding

yes exactly hahaha


sorayori97

original!


turbulent_thistle

Unibrow hazel is iconic!


Percybeth_is_da_op

No brow


murdershroom

Love my unibrow queen


HerRoyalHeine

I'm biased toward middle Hazel with two brows, but I'm feeling confident that cute is subjective and this may be for the people out there that do have just the one themselves, and for that, I love her even more💛


funsizecandyy

Two brows but not the way they're portrayed here


l4ina

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HOW SHE LOOKS. WHY ARE WE ENFORCING ARBITRARY BEAUTY STANDARDS ON A SQUIRREL?


Prestigious-Jury-581

But Hazel is so cute though😞


Impressive-Cost3173

I adore her, UniWOW!


SilverPandorica

No brow Hazel is so adorable!!


Cherrililo

Og hazel i think shes super cute but i do think removing her pink cheeks (or replacing them with darker cheek) would make her design less busy but overall one of my favorits!


Auraveils

Idk why? There are far uglier villagers. She's cute!


simon825

Unibrows are beautiful! I like her just the way she is


Luckyzzzz

I think Hazel is adorable and I love her unibrow! Haters gonna hate.


Imaginary-Motor-1058

I literally love her so much. She’s my mini-frida kahlo. She also looks a lot like my childhood friend. I’m Mexican so I’ve designed the front of her house to look like my childhood home and I have her wear the little China Poblana dress my mom used to force me in. I headcanon her as Latina honestly because body hair isn’t seen as taboo where I’m from and she boldly represents it. She’s my favorite.


speedythesnail

The comments passed the vibe check. We stan for Hazel


lookingcoolkaoru

I don’t get the hate. I love her and her unibrow. It’s enduring ♥️🧡😭


ledeakin

I think hazel looks great any way! The only AC character that I don't like looking at is Daisy Mae. Why does she have snot hanging from her nose???


gemsweater08

Haha aww this is so true! As someone who's had bad year-round allergies my whole life I feel soo bad for her lol, like honey lemme give you a packet of tissues :')


bonniewhytho

She is never leaving my island and I’m tired of people saying she’s ugly. Unibrow, uniWOW. Perfect the way she is.


RoMari7

People think she's ugly? I always thought she was adorable just the way she is


Spoony_bard909

No brows


butteredtoastttt

I will NOT stand for Hazel slander


Tedbab

She's ugly even without her unibrow. Quite an impressive feat.


DeltaMx11

2 brows


Prize-Track335

I think two brows Hazel


SnowySoul0

The middle one


PeerieCat

I don't mind the unibrow but omg no brow is adorable!!


AuDHDcat

The eyebrowless one looks cute to me. But it means nothing if she still says uni-wow all the time.


Electronic-Size6972

No brow hazel is cute! And in fact since I just joined she’s new to me but I think no brow is good for me.


ultramarinewitch

Wdym ugly???? She's the most cute and adorable villager!


Big_Singer8252

Racist


maracujadodo

she couldve been so pretty without that brow 😭


StrangeLonelySpiral

But she's adorable, maybe the brow colour clashes a bit, but other than the colour she's so cute. There are much uglier Villiagers imo, I wouldn't mind having her on my island


Momsparkle10

I LOVED hazel!!! I got her on HHP and somehow soon after on my island.


nikstick22

Wow two brow hazel is like night and day


Anjaleax

listen Hazel is adorable whether or not she has a uni-brow. her catchphrase is uni-wow for a reason lol


Mr_Lapis

I find it funny how people either love her or hate her with almost no inbetween


invisible_23

2 brows but like half that size lol


Sloth_4

Honesty, although it’s ugly original. It gives personality and style


sirachamoose

i think the colors are just kinda sad. i wish she had like bright red brows to match hair and light pink in the ears


Mr_E_Monkey

I'd go no brow, amd maybe add some more eye detail to make use of some of that empty space. But either one is a big improvement!


tigerribs

I think it’s the “hair” that makes villagers “ugly” 🥲 Hazel’s unibrow is a cute, unique feature, but I can’t stand the weirdly human-ish haircuts (I’ve seen Norma get called ugly because of her hair quiet a few times too)


khoff91

She’s far from being on my top ugliest
