Animal Crossing Ankha Amiibo Card New Horizons

Ankha (ナイル, Nairu^?, Nile) is a snooty cat villager in the Animal Crossing series, appearing in every game except Animal Forest, Wild World, and Pocket Camp. She reappears in City Folk as well as New Leaf. In Animal Forest+, Animal Crossing, and in Animal Forest e+, she is an Islander. Her name is based on the ankh, which is the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that reads “life.” Alternatively, her name could come from the famous Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, whose tomb inspired Ankha’s hair colors and snake hairpiece. In New Leaf, her picture quote is a reference to the play “The Merchant of Venice” as Bassanio says the same about the lead casket.

Her Japanese name is “Nile,” which refers to the African river that many Egyptians settled on. As for the German name, “Kleo” is short for “Kleopatra,” the German version of Cleopatra, the famous Egyptian queen.

Additionally, her French name “Cleo” also references Cleopatra. As an islander in Animal Crossing, Ankha loves cherries.
