Reiko (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Internet
Job: Pop star
Profile: Dresses up as TV characters in her spare time.
Default style: Lively (pink Cute Fairy outfit with pink kitty ears and a red side ponytail)

Taste notes:
Claims to like picture patterns.

Memorability: 4/5

Personal notes:
Sometime around Oct. 4th, 2017, she asked me for another Lively outfit and I was barely able to throw one together. She subsequently asked me to dye her hair blue and make it long and wavy, thus joining the masses of aliens teeming in the city.

Flo (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Graphic design
Job: Illustrator
Profile: A positive thinker. Always the first to notice rainbows.
Default style: Bold

Taste notes:
Normally wears Bold. Seems to be attracted to weird stuff. Every time I put out a really questionable mannequin loaded up with weird colours of animal print or something, she's there. (Flo! Taste the rainbow!) She actually seems helplessly attracted to outfits with animal print.

Memorability: 5/5

Personal Notes:
Since I started off with a Bold boutique, Flo's been one of my earliest customers, long before I could remember any of the customer's names even when I was paying attention to them. She quickly burnt herself into my mind for repeatedly choosing some of the most out-there outfits I put out on display. She's been buying things from me for so long that I can't even remember what her default outfit is and probably wouldn't recognize it if I saw it.

As of Dec. 5th, 2017, she's currently still sporting 'alien hair' in the form of electric blue looped braids.

Harue (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Palmistry
Job: Voice actress
Profile: Looks sweet, but has a sharp tongue.
Default style: Lively (usually a tutu with lavender pigtails)

Taste notes:
Mainly Lively style, but it looks she'll also take Psychedelic. Buys cosplay items easily. In fact, seems to almost hunt them down. Her favourite brand appears to be Purple Moon.

Memorability: 5/5

Personal notes:
Harue has what appears to be a truly massive disposable income and a penchant for finding and buying incredibly expensive things from mannequins, and yet when she actually enters the store, she most frequently puts forth requests for whole ensembles under $200, or even under $150. (It looks as if her favourite brand is Purple Moon, so this might be where this comes from.)

I made the mistake of remembering her job as "pop idol" in a post on Miiverse... when she's really a voice actress. And yet... somehow I thought I remembered something in the game stating this, linking her to pop idols or celebrities. Hmm. It's not as if voice actresses can't be big-time celebrities, though...

Harue is a very memorable character to me due to all of the weird (and often shockingly expensive) stuff she's bought, along with her stand-out personality(?) and the bizarre divide between her in-store budget and the rest of her disposable income. Where is she pulling out these incredible sums from?? She also seems to be fond of getting repeated changes of hairstyle only to switch back to her default lavender pigtails regularly. Actually, despite running a mainly Bold and Gothic boutique for a long time, Harue has been one of my most frequent customers, not to mention my highest-paying... She kind of reminds me of Preeya because of of the variety of things she's requested and the breadth of the styles she's tried.

Harue often hangs out with Koji, although I have no idea what their relationship is actually supposed to be.

A picture of Harue from last year. She's a pop star, and appears to have an incredibly large disposable income: Here she just bought a very expensive Retro-Lively outfit I had displayed, and yet when she comes in with requests, her budget is about $150...
She actually seemed to be buying things off mannequins based on how expensive they were... It was pretty consistent over time. It's an interesting contrast.

Gina (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Dance
Job: Baker
Profile: Rearranges flyers on bulletin boards for fun.
Default style: Babydoll (pink and white or pink and red)

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Gina is particularly memorable to me for making me butcher her hair, and then for asking for a single hat to add to her outfit... and letting me put a zebra-striped cowboy hat with red feathers on top of her Babydoll ensemble... and then wearing it for over a year. (It actually seems to have changed her default outfit permanently...)

Maybe kittyboy will join you??
Ha ha... I'd like to go see that party, but I think it's a no-go.
That sounds like a mighty interesting mixer.

Original Miiverse posts to play journal (Sep. 29th, 2016 - apx. 2:05am)
AGH! I butchered her hair!!
...and she's just the first, shortly after this, another girl in babydoll clothes showed up and asked for the same treatment, ha ha. Alas, the poor beautiful hair...

Original Miiverse post to play journal Nov. 3rd, 2017 - apx. 12:25am)
Somehow the fact that she's still like this, or has incorporated that hat and hairstyle into her normal look amuses me......

Cleo (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Driving
Job: Dance teacher
Profile: Cares about her heath. Definitely not a night owl.
Default style: Bold

Taste notes: slightly dubious

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Cleo seems to mainly wear Bold. However... I've also seen her in Chic and seen her buy a brown Gothic outfit off of my mannequin. Cleo consistently buys weird things from my mannequins, or requests them, or lets me dress her in really strange or dubious things. (Although I've noticed mainly-Bold customers seem to be able to take a lot of abuse this way... or maybe want it in the first place.)

Cleo was one of my earliest customers. I have some half-decent photos of her in a purple jumpsuit from very early on. Since then, she has always been dressed in something dubious. This isn't always under my control since she keeps buying them off of mannequins...

Oct. 3rd, 2017:
She currently has cropped, poofy bleach-blonde hair, and I'm not sure if it's her default or something I was somehow complicit in.


A photo of Cleo from my November-December 2017 Bold Customer Photodump. She's wearing one of my weird designer t-shirts.

Diana (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Beach volleyball
Job: Restaurant staff
Profile: Has to remind herself to stick to the basics.
Default style: Bold (gold sequined miniskirt, red striped corset top)

Taste notes: WEIRD

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Diana normally wears Bold, but wears it with the bizarre fountain/beehive updo that Leonora has. I somehow turned her into a bright pink kitty girl, and then into some kind of bright pink kitty cowgirl... and got one of the weirdest responses I've ever gotten to anything in SS:FF: With excitement and glee, she stated it was "boldly clashing! And grown-up, too!" I have never seen this girl in anything other than something weird, so it could be that she actually likes weird things, but I'm trying to figure out how... using the wrong colours? Clashing patterns?

Oct. 10th, 2017:
From seeing her looking at my mannequin a few days ago, it occurs to me that this character may really be attracted to clashing patterns somehow. She seems most attracted to mannequins that have many differing patterns all over. (For example: Animal print with flowers and lace and geometric things and ribbons... All jammed onto one outfit.)

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Jun. 20th, 2017 - apx. 11:48am)
I'm not entirely sure how I managed to turn Diana into this... but I don't regret it at all.

Dolly (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Stand-up comedy
Job: Student
Profile: Doodles on her notebooks. Never writes any notes.
Default style: ??

Taste notes: ??

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Most memorable to me due to being the recipient of one of my first and favourite Bold outfits (in blue-green and black), and not changing out of it for over a year, even after buying other things.

What really determines whether they change out of these things or not...?

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Jun. 6th, 2017 - apx. 6:28pm)
Digging up some stuff from my album that I never posted. This was one of my early Bold outfits for a customer last year. I love those flowy vest things...

Kelly (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Collecting things
Job: Bookseller
Profile: Wonderfully imaginative. Can't read maps.
Default style: Eastern

Taste notes: I'm pretty sure I hit on something she liked at some point, but didn't write any notes about it.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Kelly is most memorable to me for being one of my earliest customers and for letting me make her over into an alien thanks to the now-common request for blue hair, then starring in what appeared to be a paranormal photograph.

Jiamin (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Gymnastics
Job: Dental assistant
Profile: Fitness enthusiast. Refuels with cheeseburgs.
Default style: Eastern?? Girly

Taste notes: No idea.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Character notes:
Jiamin seems to hang out with Will a lot. I encountered her very early on in the game as a result, since Will has a sort of little subplot thing going on in the beginning, if I'm not terribly mistaken. She came in with him at some point early on. I don't actually know what her relationship to Will is, though... They seem to spend a lot of time at Bun-Bun Funland together.

Personal notes:
I've sold her a decent number of outfits, but somehow I'm still left with no idea what her original style was. She keeps buying Bold things from me, and yet was wearing Eastern stuff for a while...

Thanks to Sly Blue for informing me Jiamin's default style is Girly... If that's the case, she's had quite the fashion journey in my playthrough, from Girly to Eastern to Bold...

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 9:59am)
Jiamin requesting a new Bold outfit for a trip to the buffet. Her last one was the same kind of request, and she ended upmwearing it for months... I think she started off in the Eastern style.

Will (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Cooking
Job: Actor
Profile: Looks like a movie star. Says he's going to be one.
Default style: ??

Buying history: I thought I had notes on this... I'm pretty sure it's some kind of romantic set and the space sets, Galactic Ranger and Cosmos 9. He's bought a lot of makeup sets and comes in with both both female friends and male friends.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
He seems to be the male equivalent of Sophie. He's memorable to me for being one of the first male characters introduced, if I remember correctly... and for having probably the hugest, most adorable eyes of any male character; like I said, he's like the male version of Sophie. He stands out like crazy from most of the other guys. He definitely has that "lost puppy" look down...

He's also very memorable to me for dragging a male friend along to the makeup shop and talking about there being no romance without bromance...

Will seems to hang out with Jiamin a lot.

I'm not sure I've seen any makeup kit attract more guys than Cosmos 9... I lost track of how many came here to buy it.
SPAAAAAAAACE.

Aleesha (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Jigsaw puzzles
Job: Interpretive dancer
Profile: Moody. Proud of her fashionable older sister.

Taste notes:
Unfortunately, I didn't record any.

Memorability: ☆☆☆

Personal notes:
As of September 2017, she's been made over into a Girly look with my custom Dark Flowers dress and matching hair and makeup. (I don't remember if Girly was her normal style...) The makeup set used Taylor Green for the eyes, and she responded extremely strongly to this, claiming "these are the eyes of a queen!" I wish I'd written down the details of the makeup... I should've turn it into a set. (I think it was mainly reds and browns, and those green eyes...)

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Sep. 29th, 2017 - apx. 9:15pm)
Really... Interesting. I'll keep that in mind.

Airi (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Karaoke
Job: CD shop owner
Profile: Likes to hum the opening themes from TV shows.

Taste notes:
No idea.

Memorability: ☆☆

Personal notes:
As of Oct. 3rd, 2017, she's currently in a Bold outfit for a buffet trip, and was in my "Fugly Minidress" previously, so I don't know what her default style is anymore.

New outfit for Airi to replace my hideous custom thing! Woohoo?

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Sep. 19th, 2017 - apx. 12:22am)
Missed getting a shot of it on that purple background... but here it is.

I have a couple more pictures of Airi at the restaurant that I'd like to post here eventually.

Aiko (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Five-a-side football
Job: Game designer
Profile: Good at sport, but troubled by an old back injury.

Taste notes:
Appears to be mostly or maybe solidly Lively, but bought a Punk Rock makeup kit.

Memorability: ☆☆☆

Personal notes:
As of Oct. 3rd, 2017, she's currently in a white, pink, and blue ensemble with matching hair and my Pale Banshee makeup.

Original Miiverse post to play journal (Oct. 1st, 2017 - apx. 9:47am)
New hairstyle for Aiko. It might look a little weird later on when she changes out of the outfit I gave her... she used to be blonde.

Oh, this again. Don't worry, got nothing to hide here...

Aeisha (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Saving money
Job: Baker
Profile: Dreams of opening her own bakery serving only macaroons.

Taste notes:
No idea.

Character notes:
She hangs around with other characters who are into sweets and baking, apparently...

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Memorable to me for having the cascading hair bun (which I almost coveted, unable to unlock it at the time) and a vaguely renaissance-looking Chic outfit which may be her default or one of mine. I did have those items lying around and wanted to use them... I'm pretty sure. But at this point, I've made so many outfits that many are starting to look similar to those already set up as characters' defaults... (Even worse when I set up one character with what looks like another character's default, and even worse when I unwittingly end up almost recreating a character's default outfit with only minor modifications and selling it to the same character who has by this time been switched out of enough different things to make me lose track.)

She is seriously pretty, by the way.

Photo from last night of Aeisha. I made her Chic outfit with the idea in mind of it looking somewhat Renaissance Faire-ish... I think it worked.
...But now I'm not even sure if I made it at all.

Jeff (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Cycling
Job: Policeman
Profile: Loves working up a sweat. Can't stay awake if he's tired.

Main purchases: Galactic Ranger (default), Cosmos 9 (default)

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Jeff is most memorable to me for being one of the very first males to brave entering Arabella's all-pink domain... and then become a repeat customer buying the Galactic Ranger makeup set over and over. Subsequently he brought in first Aurora and then another girl (?) to buy the Fairy Apple makeup set, and was accused of being "an expert" (concerning makeup!)... but always seems to return for space-themed makeup sets whenever I put them out on display. I have no idea how many times he's come back to buy Galactic Ranger. Makes me wish the game kept track of customers' purchase history...

Original Miiverse post:
This guy... He's a police officer. This is his second time at the beautician's...
Original Miiverse post:
He seems to have some kind of alien fixation.
Original Miiverse post:
Normally the guys only come here to buy things for girls... But this guy, this is the second time he buys this.
Original Miiverse post:
FOR HIMSELF. What is he doing with these things in that flat of his?? (I at least want to see him in alien cosplay or something, ha ha. Dudes with electric blue mascara are rarely seen.)



Selma (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Visiting spas
Job: Florist
Profile: Laid-back. Prefers the slow train to the express.
Default style: Feminine

Taste notes:
I neglected to write them down... every time.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Memorable to me because it's become an in-joke with myself about dating her, due to various events. ("Why do I always fall for the florists?") A long-time customer at this point. There's a lot of backstory to record with Selma...

I had her in (what I thought was) beautiful Champagne makeup there for a while, matching a beige/champagne feminine outfit I was particularly pleased with... I really wish I'd taken full pictures... I've been thinking of cosplaying as Selma's previous look WITH Selma, as if things weren't weird enough already.

Original Miiverse post:
Deep Voice: "I have a secret, Selma." ...Alternatively, I should've worn the lily hair clip. ^.- Just my desire to psyche people out in small spaces acting up again. Yes, I'm the type who glues dollars to the floors of elevators.

Cherie (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Foreign films
Job: Student
Profile: Listens to her elders. Blushes easily.
Default style: Rock (black and red)

Taste notes:
Likes stripes. Seems to really like red and black...

Original makeup: 
Celebration Pink eyeshadow, Antique Door eyeliner, Jet Black mascara (long), On-Air Ash contacts, no blush, matte Ruby lipstick.

Memorability: ☆☆☆

Personal notes:
Memorable for my ruining her hair with a grey mushroom cut... Also memorable for talking about mushrooms and meat at The Meadows instead of cutesy stuff... while wearing said mushroom cut. Also also for being another one of those characters who gives the impression of being much older than she really is. (Grey hair doesn't help that image.)


Cherie accompanying her friend Ambra to go get some heavy gothic makeup. Both are in their default looks.
Miscellaneous updates:
Around midnight of the 14th of October, 2017, I finally managed to change Cherie's hair from that grey mushroom cut to something half-decent! Now I just have to dig up a picture.

Anjali (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Singing jazz
Job: Student
Profile: Loves the hustle and bustle of big cities.
Default style: Bold

Taste notes:
She appears to really like check patterns. Normally wears Bold, but she bought a Preppy outfit from my shop's mannequin before. I'm not sure if it was just the pattern...

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
I usually dress her in purple, but that's just my thing. I've been throwing Bold outfits at her (successfully) for quite some time, since for a long time my shop was solidly Bold, and I seem to keep coming back to that and Gothic as my defaults.
Anjali once bought a regal or military-themed Preppy outfit and commented very strongly on the check pattern. Interestingly, when buying it, if I remember correctly, she acted like a much older lady passing herself off as "young-looking"... and yet her "job" is student... I'm still not sure if she bought it just because it was check, or if she really will take Preppy things.

Original Miiverse post:
Anjali?? Okay, another note for the customer tastes file... She's only bought Bold from me up until now.


Original Miiverse post:
She commented strongly on the check pattern, so I'm assuming that's what appealed to her. The inner (not visible) may have also been check patterned... Hmm. Different customers definitely have particular tastes, but it's hard to test for them.


Amber (SSFF Character)

Hobby: Singing
Job: TV star
Profile: Yellow Styletto. Secretly wants to be a solo artist.
Default style: Purple Moon "Cute Fairy" outfit; otherwise anything yellow

Taste notes:
She will buy anything yellow, but only ever one thing at a time.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
I've been working on turning her into a bee. One item at a time...

Original Miiverse post:
...

Original Miiverse post:
I'm slowly transforming Amber into a bee.

Original Miiverse post:
Oh, but I would BEE-lieve!

Original Miiverse post:
A genie necklace for Amber, so now she can bee the Queen Bee. (But not the Queen Bey.)

Original Miiverse post:
My face looks pretty harmless thanks to this make-up, but no one should ever trust me with their hair, if they come to me and say "do whatever you want"...

Original Miiverse post:
Don't you just love how you can give the Stylettos pretty much anything, and they'll say it looks good?? I'm well on my way turning Amber into a queen bee. I figure just yellow-and-black stripey arm warmers...All of my Stylettos are some kind disaster. :D

Ambra (SSFF Character)

Hobby: DIY
Job: Tour bus guide
Profile: Maintains that she met the real Santa.
Default style: Psychedelic with Lively elements

Taste notes:
No idea. She appears to mostly be into the Psychedelic style with some elements of Lively, but I'm still not sure how much into Lively she is. I neglected to write down any notes of colours she liked the few times I've served her as a customer.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
I've only changed her outfit once or twice. I actually tend to avoid her as a customer for fear of changing that nice default look of hers... I've always been taken with her default look. That weird mint green natural side ponytail with that jacket and the weird top and pants...

Original Miiverse post (June 2017):
Picture from last year. I'd been hanging on to it for a while. Ambra has maybe my top favourite default look of all the characters other than Susie. I think it was Susie, anyway...

Ambra coming in for a change to her makeup...
Original Miiverse post (June 2017):
Well... I can... but are you really sure you want that? I mean... Oh, well. It can't turn out worse than the tall, elegant office lady who came in and requested to look like a teenage pop star with lime green eyelashes.
