Ankha

"You again? You just can't seem to stay away from ME!"

- Ankha

Ankha is a snooty Goddess villager in the, appearing in every game except and. She was intended to make an appearance in Wild World, but was replaced by a new character called Anabelle. She reappears in. In, and , she is an Islander. Her name is based on the ankh, which is the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that reads "life."

Her catchphrase relates to her arrogant "snooty" personality, by saying "me," and a sound a cat makes, "meow." Her catchphrase may be interpreted as "me" (repeated twice) followed by a "meow." Egyptians worshiped cats, a cat god (Bastet the protective goddess), and the Egyptian headress, which also may be where the idea for Ankha came from. Since her Japanese name is Nile (many Egyptians used to settle near the "Nile" River), and her headdress is Egyptian style, she is likely to remind you of Ancient Egyptians. Her German name "Kleo" is short for Kleopatra, the German version of Cleopatra, the famous Egyptian queen. Her French name is "Neferti", based on Akhenaten's wife, Nefertiti. As an islander in for GameCube, she has a favorite fruit and a fruit that she is allergic to. Feeding her the allergy fruit will reduce the likelihood of her dropping bags of money. Ankha loves cherries and is allergic to apples.

Ankha initially wears a Red Aloha Shirt when she is an islander, but in City Folk and New Leaf she wears the Egyptian Outfit.

There is a probable connection between her Egyptian theme and how ancient Egyptians worshiped cats. In ,Ankha's headdress contains a scarab charm in place of a cobra figurine.
