Villagers in Staxel are fairly moddable, with many parts being able to be switched out, and new creations can add to the pool.

This page is about Villager Personalities, these are found in .villager files and contains information for;

• Several types of dialogue. Normal and when someone is theiving.
• Set regards [Need to look into this sorry.]
• Set idle script

As such this file, in essence, creates the entirety of the villagers personality. This file does not affect the villager's Job which is handled by .viallagerjob files.
