Overview

Label Able is a hedgehog character from the Animal Crossing series. As the middle sister of the Able Sisters tailor family, her birth name is Kotono. Driven by her passion for fashion, she originally left home to train under the high-end designer Gracie in the city, using the designer alias Kate. In titles such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons, she works as an independent designer traveling from island to island. She presents a chic and urban aesthetic that sets her apart from her family.

Appearance

Label is a female hedgehog characterized by purple quills and distinct eyeshadow around her eyes. Unlike her sisters who favor simple rustic clothing, she wears refined urban fashion. Across her appearances, she is seen wearing stylish clothing and accessories including a trench coat, a scarf, sunglasses, and a designer hat.

Personality

Label maintains a polite, formal, and composed demeanor, though she can be somewhat reserved and distant around people she does not know well. She is an earnest, hard-working individual who stays determined even when feeling discouraged. Once she establishes a close bond with someone, her distant wall breaks down, and she reveals a warmer side while speaking in her native Kansai dialect like her sisters.

Abilities

Label possesses exceptional skill in fashion design and outfit coordination. She conducts fashion checks by judging whether a player's clothes align with specific style themes, rewarding players with coupons redeemable at the tailor shop alongside items from her original clothing brand. She also has the professional expertise required to run an accessories department within a clothing retail shop.

Background

Desiring to become a designer, Label left home against the wishes of her older sister Sable, moving to the city to work as an apprentice named Kate under Gracie at GracieGrace. Though this caused a temporary rift with her family, they eventually reconciled. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, she returned to her family shop to run the accessories section alongside her sisters. By Animal Crossing: New Horizons, she ventures out on her own under her true name Kotono, traveling to design new styles.

Relationships

Sable (Asami) is her eldest sister, with whom she rebuilt a loving bond after an initial falling out over her career choices. Mabel (Kinuyo) is her younger sister, completing the trio of Able Sisters who support one another. The high-fashion designer Gracie is her former mentor, who trained her as an assistant and gave her the designer alias Kate.

Trivia

Her true Japanese name Kotono originates from cotton, whereas her designer name Kate derives from the word for yarn (keito). She has been featured on separate amiibo cards under both names, but in-game features treat both cards under her true name. Her favorite motto is a proverb about wishing big even if only a small part comes true.
