“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.

How does Tia's catchphrase in Animal Crossing relate to her appearance?
Tia's catchphrase in Animal Crossing mirrors her lively character, inspired by the ringo usagi, an apple cutting style that mimics rabbits. This could hint at her species, even though she's not a cub villager. Tia is a significant figure in Animal Crossing, featured on the City Folk game box and the New Horizons cover.

What distinguishes Tia from other elephant villagers in Animal Crossing?
Tia, an elephant villager in Animal Crossing, stands out for her 'normal' personality and unique look. Her name, a nod to 'elephant', and her catchphrase 'tooooot', echoing an elephant's trunk sound, add to her distinctiveness. Tia's blue-tipped hands, feet, and tail, along with her blue and yellow ears, differentiate her. The brown tip of her trunk, reminiscent of tea in a teapot spout, is a unique trait among elephant villagers.
