Ankha is asnootycat in theAnimal Crossing series. She first appeared inDoubutsu no Mori+ as anislander, and after being absent inAnimal Crossing: Wild World, she appears in all subsequent games as avillager. Her name is likely derived from theankh, which is the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that readslife. Her Japanese catchphrase,kufufu, is a combination of the PharaohKhufu, andufufu, a Japanese onomatopoeia for laughter. Egyptians worshiped cats and had a cat goddess,Bastet, which may be the basis for Ankha's design.

InNew Horizons, Ankha has the naturehobby and may be found reading a book pertaining to an item she is studying, which can be either flowers, bugs, fish, or fossils.

Characteristics[edit]

Artwork of Ankha fromAnimal Crossing.

Appearance[edit]

Ankha is a navy blue-and-gold-striped cat. She wears navy blue eyeliner in the style of Egyptian royalty: surrounding the eyes, and wings out towards the outside of the bottom corners. She has orange eyeshadow which can be seen when she blinks. Her large black pupils look upwards, and her mouth is constantly curved into a scowl, even when she is happy. Heruraeus headgear is an upright golden Egyptian cobra with blue stripes. She has a slightly different style inCity Folk, where she lacks the normal pharaoh headdress, which was replaced with a scarab head pendant, but it was changed back to a headdress inNew Leaf.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of thesnooty personality. For more information, clickhere.

As asnootyislander inDoubutsu no Mori+,Animal Crossing, andDoubutsu no Mori e+, Ankha is talkative and vain; she is warmer than her mainland counterparts and focus on being well-liked as well as beautiful, but she can still be catty or rude in some situations.

As a snootyvillager fromAnimal Crossing: City Folk onward, Ankha will appear arrogant and snobbish towards theplayer and other villagers, but will appear friendly and nice in some discussions, provided they are mature and do not insult her lifestyle. She finds appearance important, and will get angry or upset if someone criticizes her sense of style or fitness, which means a conversation between her and ajock personality may leave either one upset or angry. Her attitude towards the player changes, as she begins to warm up to them, but she will still retain some arrogance and subtle rudeness. She may not get along withlazy villagers, due to their lifestyles - lazy villagers having a strong interest in food or relaxing, both of which will make her uncomfortable, angry, and upset when in conversation. She will upsetpeppy villagers, usually by gossiping about them, and finding small things to judge them on. She will get along well withnormal,cranky, and other snooty villagers.

Villager information[edit]

InAnimal Crossing[edit]

As an islander inAnimal Crossing, Ankha has a favorite fruit and one she is allergic to. She is allergic to apples and loves cherries, meaning giving her the former reduces the likelihood of her droppingBells, and giving her the latter increases the likelihood of her dropping Bells.
