A player of Animal Crossing: New Horizons had an unexpected encounter at a nearby thrift store. They were surprised to come across a portrait of a familiar character from the game and couldn't help but wonder who would leave such a random Animal Crossing-themed gift there.
Whitney, a wolf character in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, is known for her snooty demeanor and tendency to be arrogant and rude towards other villagers. She has a penchant for wearing classy attire and frequently makes remarks about everyone's fashion sense. However, by consistently engaging in conversation and interactions with Whitney, players have the opportunity to develop a strong friendship with her. Despite this, she still maintains a subtly rude attitude when speaking to the player.
User cucumberoll from Reddit discovered a framed picture of Whitney at a thrift store, which sparked curiosity among players. The picture showcased Whitney wearing her gray Pajama dress, which can be obtained in Animal Crossing: New Horizons from the Able Sisters for 1,200 bells. Some players asked if the iconic quote "Don't cry wolf unless you mean it," often associated with Whitney, was visible in the framed picture. Unfortunately, the OP mentioned that they hadn't checked.
Many players expressed frustration towards the OP for not purchasing the framed picture of this beloved Animal Crossing character. The OP also shared their excitement about spotting Whitney in the wild, as she had never visited their island before. Another player shared their own experience of making an Ankha portrait as a gift for a friend, which they found in another Animal Crossing subreddit. They ended their comment with the lingering question of whether their friend had kept the gift after a few years.
It is quite ironic that a person of Whitney's high status and appearance would find herself in such an unfortunate place. One would expect her to be more suited for a refined art gallery rather than the thrift store cameo that she unintentionally became. However, it is puzzling why someone would dislike the picture enough to leave it in a thrift store for all to see. Some players have inquired about the location of the picture, but the original poster (OP) has instead encouraged them to support their local libraries by printing pictures of their favorite Animal Crossing characters. Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be enjoyed on the Nintendo Switch.
