Example: A peppy villager (that's not gender locked) has the dream of being a popstar, right? Well you talk to her about her confidence issues. You need to item craft a karaoke machine (or you get the recipe along the way) and help her feel more confident. The quest finishes with the villager putting on a show that you decorate and she comes on the stage like an idol star as she performs a cover of one of KK's songs.
All of those character quests would end with a KK song preformed over the credits. The idol one is unique in that the villager sings a cover of it.
For other personalities I thought the quests would be something like this:
Snooty - you find out why they are so mean and arrogant sometimes and you find out it's because they were extremely lonely as a child and you help them connect to the other villagers.
Grouchy -maybe they are like that because they lost someone close to them. You help them heal from that and let others in.
Lazy - maybe they're just really chill and they help you instead. They help you relax more and give you easy quests. It would also invert the dynamic of a quest being done for them. They're trying to help you too.
Yeah like, in New Leaf villagers had assigned 'hobbies' that had them give you unique tasks connected to them, like clothes, fossils and gardening.
In New Horizons hobbies mainly only determine what animations they favor when idling around on the island. Like I'm sure that's great for the players who just consider villagers decorations but for everyone else, what a downgrade.
Oh here's an idea I've tooled around with
personality-specific character quests
