Can I change my gender?

I don't want to be a boy anymore. Is there any way to change your gender once you get off the train in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

Solution 1:

No, you can't change your face or gender after creating your character, you'd have to make a new one. You can however make a new, non-mayor character that is female (they will have to more or less start over with various things like house payments, encyclopedia, catalog).

In addition you can also use a Mii Mask from Harriet to look female (I believe you can use a different gender's Mii mask anyway, I haven't tried). And if you wear a female "dress" type item, your character's animations will actually change to the female animation set (note certain "dresses" are unisex or male clothing; as a male Able will make a comment if you attempt to buy female clothing, those dresses will change your animations). I'm not sure if there is a way for female characters to change to the male animations.

Solution 2:

If you get 15 haircuts at shampoodle you wil be able to get female hairstyles as well, then just change into a dress and you look like a girl!
