Villager Characteristics Overhaul

Recently, the wolves  got personality types, and that gave me an Idea.
Why not give traits and personalities to the villagers?

There would be some personalities based on moods.

,,Shy" - Even if villager would have a proffesion, he would still prefer to stay alone from the players, maybe he would want to stay in the dark places, 

,,Extrovertic" - He wants to stay in group, and unlike the ,,shy" variant, he would get more likely eager to trade with players.

,,Naive/clumsy" - There's slight possibility that he won't run from hostile mobs (not players) like zombies or pillagers. 

,,Lazy" - He might get a proffesion, he just won't go to the work station (like for example fletcher table), he'll just stay in bed all day, he might just wander around as well, except, do the work.

,,Hard-working" exact opposite of the laziness. He has small amount of chance that his trades are more profitable to the players. (Example: More things that he sell for the same amount of things that he accept.)

Those traits would've been since their spawn.
Also, why don't give them visible varieties? (Skin tone would be affected by the biome, (exept wandering traders,) they cloud've spawn with diffrent hairstyles or accesories, (like glasses) or even - clothes!)

and thats my idea.

    To add two more personalities:

    • "Generous": A villager who feels good about giving to other people, so their trade prices are lower than usual.
    • "Greedy": The opposite of generous. These villagers make you pay more for trades.

    About the visual changes: I totally agree! Here are my more specific thoughts:

    • Skin tone: I didn't really notice how making all villagers white was racist until somebody else pointed it out to me a few years ago, but ever since, varied skin tones has been something I've wanted to see in villagers! I was so glad to see that the villagers in Legends have two skin tones, and I would love to see that in Minecraft as well!
    • Hair: I know Mojang might be kind of afraid of making villagers look weird by adding hair, but as someone who's played a few mods that add types of villagers with hair, I know it doesn't actually look that weird. Besides, it would take away from the masculine feel of the villager, as they're supposed to be non-binary.
    • Noses: Make them smaller. It just looks weird. I know that this would probably require a complete overhaul of the villager appearance, so Mojang is afraid to do it, but it's anti-semitic, and Minecraft is supposed to be inclusive to everyone.
