Looking rather dapper in Windermere. 👔 Our favorite book-owl Quenith 🦉 is sporting a new hood, and villager clothes are now dyeable! #cozygaming #indiegame #rpg #animalcrossing

Pictured is a black and white mouse or rat in a blue woven shirt and dark green knit vest with blue baggy canvas pants. A brown owl with a red hood sits next to the mouse on a forest floor covered in leaves and twigs.
