Merrymaker Personality in Tomodachi Life

How the Merrymaker personality works in Tomodachi Life (Bubbly in EU): traits, slider ranges, how to make a Merrymaker Mii, and compatibility notes.

NA name

Merrymaker

EU name

Bubbly

The Merrymaker personality in Tomodachi Life is the Outgoing group's easygoing socialite: lively, playful, and quick to turn any room into the fun room. In the European version of the game, the same type is called Bubbly, which is a spot-on description of how it bounces through island life.

Lively and sociable — the easygoing end of the Outgoing group.

Outgoing Miis are lively, expressive, and quick to jump into conversations or island drama. They fit characters who should react big and keep social scenes moving.

Use the Tomodachi Life personality chart and calculator to find Merrymaker: it appears when Movement plus Speech totals 8-11, and Energy plus Attitude totals 8-11. The Overall slider is cosmetic for personality and can be set however you like.

How to make a Merrymaker Mii

Open the Mii personality settings and adjust Movement, Speech, Energy, and Attitude to the example setup above. You can leave Overall wherever it feels right for the character, because it is not part of the personality calculation.

If the result is close but not exact, check the two totals: M+S should land between 8 and 11, while E+A should land between 8 and 11. The example setup totals M+S 9 and E+A 9.

How the Merrymaker personality works

The chart places every Mii by two totals. Movement plus Speech (M+S) runs left to right, and Energy plus Attitude (E+A) runs top to bottom, with both totals running from 0 to 15. Merrymaker sits in the lower-left cell of the Outgoing corner, where M+S lands between 8 and 11 and E+A lands between 8 and 11.

Those totals put Merrymaker in the calmest spot inside an energetic group. The M+S band of 8-11 is quick and direct enough to keep conversations moving and jokes landing, while the E+A band of 8-11 adds lively but not maxed-out energy. That combination is why Merrymaker reads as the easygoing end of Outgoing: fully sociable, but without the restless intensity of the cells above it.

The other three Outgoing types differ on those same totals. Charmer keeps M+S at 8-11 but lifts E+A to 12-15, so it is smooth and magnetic with maximum relaxed warmth. Dynamo jumps to M+S 12-15 with E+A 8-11, making it louder, faster, and more fired up. Go-Getter maxes out both totals at M+S 12-15 and E+A 12-15, which reads as restless and impulsive. Merrymaker is the corner's easy-laugh member: the one who keeps things fun without turning them into a project.

Merrymaker behavior & traits

In the game, Merrymaker Miis come across as the residents who make any gathering better just by showing up. Community observations describe them as lively, sociable, and quick to laugh — the type who starts the game, tells the joke, and bounces between conversations without ever wearing anyone out. The Outgoing group's color direction is built around pinks, reds, and oranges, so a Merrymaker Mii's home tends to sit in that same vivid, cheerful family.

Speech-wise, Merrymaker sits in the direct half of the slider but well short of the maximum, so it is playful rather than blunt. The balanced Energy and Attitude scores keep the delivery bouncy and easygoing, which fans often describe as party-starter energy: quick with a joke, happy to be silly, and never the one to kill the mood. The European name Bubbly is a one-line summary of exactly that impression.

Friendship-wise, this site's compatibility data works at the group level: Miis from the same group tend to get along more easily, while pairs from different groups usually need a little more interaction. That makes Merrymaker an easy friend for Charmer, Go-Getter, and Dynamo, and a slightly slower one for types in the Considerate, Reserved, or Ambitious groups. One honest note: personality shapes how smoothly Miis become friends, but it does not decide romance.

How to change to the Merrymaker personality

  1. 1

    Select the Mii you want to change and open Edit Mii. In Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, the personality settings live inside the Mii editor.

  2. 2

    Open the personality sliders. You will see Movement, Speech, Energy, Attitude, and Overall.

  3. 3

    Set the four scoring sliders to a working Merrymaker setup: Movement step 5 (score 4), Speech step 5 (score 5), Energy step 5 (score 4), and Attitude step 5 (score 5).

  4. 4

    Check the two totals before saving. M+S should land between 8 and 11, and E+A between 8 and 11. The example setup above totals M+S 9 and E+A 9.

  5. 5

    Leave Overall wherever you like. It only changes flavor text and quirks, not the personality result.

  6. 6

    Confirm the change. The Mii will save with the Merrymaker personality, or Bubbly if you are playing the European version. Remember that other slider combinations inside the same M+S and E+A ranges work too, so this is a reliable setup rather than the only one.

Merrymaker in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the Switch follow-up to the 3DS original, and it keeps the same 16-personality system. Merrymaker still occupies the same chart cell — M+S 8-11 with E+A 8-11 — and community comparisons indicate the hidden personality values line up with the 3DS data, so the chart on this site applies to the new game as well.

In the new game, the Merrymaker personality in Tomodachi Life keeps its lively, playful reading: a resident who turns any room into the fun room and keeps the island's social scenes moving. The regional naming continues too, so the same type appears as Bubbly in the European version, where the group itself is called Energetic. Exact animations and dialogue can shift between releases, but the personality result follows the same two totals. As always, this site is an unofficial fan resource, not Nintendo data.
