Frogs.
If you don't know me, let me tell you: I love frogs. They are absolutely the perfect animal in every way, shape, and form. They're adorable, they're colorful, they come in all shapes and sizes, and they're the dumpiest predators ever.
... Okay, maybe they're not perfect, but I love them anyway.
You know what else I love? Animal Crossing. I don't know how many hours I've sunk into various incarnations of the game, building up my little villages, talking to townsfolk, doing errands, catching fish, growing flowers ... The recent update to the game has reminded me of my love for this adorable game, and with my finally diving head first into swampgoatsville, I thought, why not put two and two together?
That said, this is a very large, likely too-extensive quest. That's okay. It's good to have goals, right? This isn't every frog from AC, but it's ... most of them.
What I'm desiring are semi-customs - I don't want fully matching designs. More, I want the artists to use the frogs as inspiration to make their own design. If they do match, that's fine - if not, that's great too! At the bare minimum I just want them to be used as color palettes. In addition, I've come up with hopefully kin-friendly names for each. Explanations of the origin are under each name!

Lily
GET! Desired Name: Lilies in the Rain Meaning / Reason: From a combo of her English name (Lily) and her Japanese name (Reini / Rainy). Gender: Female Naming Dream: Dreary, cold, wet and miserable

A bright beacon of seasons to come
Three steadfast lilies in the rain

Gigi
GET! Desired Name: Glamorous Croak Meaning / Reason: Gigi is a snooty-type villager. Her home is also very posh and she starts with glamorous clothes. Also she is a frog.Gender: Female Naming Dream: In the clearing, they gathered, hundreds upon hundreds of them - some as small as a raindrop, others as big as your head. The moon rose high on the wet sprawl, lighting a thousand unique colors as the frogs swelled together, watching.
Waiting.
It was midnight when it happened, the lone frog climbing higher than the rest, perching on a rock to raise itself above the swell. A silence fell among the amphibians, each waiting for something - an unknown cue, a hidden trigger. For a time, nothing, then the single frog, shimmering like so many stars in the sky, lifted its head, and it released the most glamorous croak - a song among the swarm, a beautiful calling song to its brethren.
The swell exploded into applause, a cacophony of grunting throats and slapping feet. The Queen among them had spoken - the new year could arrive, the celebration could commence. A million happy hops signaled their joy as the party began.
