Life-changing moments don't always happen on a schedule, teacup...
― Tia, New Horizons


Tia (ティーナ, Tīna?) is a normal elephant villager in the Animal Crossing series. Similar to how Tucker seems to be based on a mammoth, Tia seems to be based on a teapot. Her catchphrase supports this as well as her English name, which sounds similar to "tea". Her picture quote is a play on the famous saying "life is a cup of tea".

She has the nature hobby.
