'''Kapp'n''' is a green turtle (Kappa in the Japanese version) that features in the {{SER}} series as a driver of various forms of transport. He has been known to [[Animal Crossing (GCN)|row boats]], [[Animal Crossing: Wild World|drive taxis]] and also [[Animal Crossing: City Folk|drive buses]]. Kapp'n himself is a sailor by nature, referring frequently to his life on the sea and speaking in stereotypical pirate tones. He has also expresses a fondness for women and singing old sea shanties.

The word 'Kappa', from which Kapp'n derives, is the name for a river imp in Japanese folklore. They are mischevous in nature, and reptilian in appearance. His name could also be the sailor pronounciation of 'captain', where letters are missed out in certain words which is how sailors in the past were believed to have talked, saying things like 'yar!', 'sprat', 'garr' and will sometimes refer to the player as fish or sea creatures, such as 'scallop', '[[Sea Bass|sea bass]]' and 'urchin'. He also wears a cap on his head, which may be of some relevance to his name.

==Role in ''Animal Crossing''==
[[File:Kapp'nhatless.gif|thumb|left|Kapp'n from ''Animal Crossing'']]
In {{PG}}, he is the ferry operator who sails visitors and the [[player]] to the [[island]] (commonly known as ''Animal Island''). During the voyage to the island he sings a sea shanty, usually about his life on the sea and women. he loves to have sex in the back of the bus!

==Role in ''Animal Crossing: Wild World''==
In {{WW}}, he drives the black taxi to the [[town]] and acts as the introducing character responsible for the gender and appearance of the playable character, as well as the name of the town. This is a role he takes on from [[Rover]]. He can sometimes be seen in the [[The Roost]] drinking coffee. He will talk about his life at sea upon talking to him.

==Role in ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''==
In {{CF}}, he first appears driving the [[bus]] to the [[town]], while [[Rover]] talks to the playable character determining the gender, birthday and appearance of the character, as well as the name of the town. He will then appear again driving the bus to the [[city]] when going to the [[Bus Stop]]. During the journey to the city, he will talk about women, the city and modern day youngsters to male players. If the player is female, he will subtly flirt with them, calling them 'cute', 'pretty' and that a 'manly bus-driver is available'. If the player does not respond, he will begin to whistle his sea shanty.

He also appears in [[The Roost]], as he did in {{WW}}, where he will talk about his life in more detail.

==Appearance in ''Animal Crossing: The Movie''==
Kapp'n is seen at the beginning of {{AM}} driving [[Ai]] to ''Animal Village'' in his black taxi, like the one in {{WW}}. He appears later on in the film during the festival, as a member of the audience listening to [[K. K. Slider]] singing.

==Trivia==
*While rowing to Animal Island in {{AF}} and {{PG}}, Kapp'n sings one of a few random songs, and a line to one of them is that he sings better than Mario.
*One of his sea shanties is about cucumbers. In Japanese folklore, cucumbers were thrown into rivers with the names of children and/or families on. This would spare a family when bathing in a river. Children, and sometimes adults, are believed to be one of their favorite foods - cucumbers being their favorite. They would also help humans and not break an oath. This may relate to how friendly he is towards humans in the {{SER}} series.
*In the middle of his songs, Kapp'n says something to the player, one time which he claims he hates squirrels.
*Though Kapp'n says, or rather sings, that he loves cucumbers, at the end of his songs, sometimes, he sings that zucchinis give him the spooks, "Zucchini spooks".
*If in ''City Folk'' the player leaves the game idle long enough, Kapp'n will begin to whistle Totaka's Song, which also appears as [[K.K. Song]].

'''Bluebear''' is a [[peppy]], [[cub]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}} series. She is named after her color and species.

==Appearance==
As her name suggests, Bluebear is a light-blue bear. She has dark blue hair and a white-tipped muzzle and paws. She wears pink blush. She could possibly be the female equivalent of [[Kody]].

==Personality==
''Below is a brief description of the '''peppy''' personality. For more information, look at the main article found '''[[Peppy|here]]'''.''

As a peppy villager, Bluebear will have the tendency to over-react in conversations about trivial subjects such as appearing in competitions and the chance of her losing. This sometimes triggers her to ask for a certain item of clothing or furniture which she needs to enter a competition. She, like other peppy villagers, will rarely be discouraged from doing anything, including the usual [[hobbies]]. She will also have a short attention span, which means she will soon forget arguments or tasks given to the [[player]] which were not completed. She may ask the player; ''"Sooo, how am I dressed today?"'' The player is presented with a slide-bar indicating ''Kinda slobby...'' and ''Super formal!'' Moving the bar close to ''Super formal!'' will make her happy, thus giving a good chance of receiving her [[picture]] (in ''Wild World'' only).

==House==
Bluebear's house is initially decked out with [[Blue Series|blue]] furniture and she listens to [[K.K. Ska]].
