Ace (フェザーFezā?, Feather) is a jockbirdvillager that initially only appeared in the earlier versions of the Animal Crossing series up until the New Horizons 2.0 update on November 5, 2021. His name possibly relates to a "flying ace", a term used for an accomplished pilot. Alternately, he could also be named after the ace of spades, judging from the fact that he starts out wearing a shirt with a single spade on it, like the playing card. He has the nature hobby.
His Japanese name, Fezā, is "feather" written with katakana.
Ace is a blue bird with cream-colored patches on his face, belly, and wings. His tail also has a yellow stripe. He has half-closed, beady eyes that make him look bored, and orange cheeks. His beak and feet are yellow. He initially wears the spade shirt in the earliest games, or the kung-fu tee in New Horizons.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.
Ace has a jock personality and has a great interest in sports and bodybuilding. Jock villagers are hyperactive and motivated, but often come across as self-centered and dense. As a jock villager, Ace is very interested in his hobby, and may compete against the player at catching bugs and fish. Jock villagers get along with peppy, cranky, and sisterly villagers, but conflict with the laid-back lifestyle of lazy villagers. Snooty villagers may also be difficult to get along with for Ace.
In New Horizons, his house is chock-full of green furniture (including a water bird), and to fit the vintage theme and his jock personality, K.K. Hop plays on his portable record player.
Ace knows every fish-lived pond and puddle. But this avid fisherman never sells his catch or donates it to the museum. His tender heart compels him to release each wide-eyed prize back into the water.
Ace was added to New Horizons in the 2.0 free update, where he regains the first spot.
According to his e-Card, Ace enjoys fishing. He never donates or sells them, however, and instead releases them back into the wild.
His Spanish name, Uno, means one, referring to how he is currently the first villager in alphabetical order.
He shares a birthday with the snooty frog Gigi. Both of them have birthdays on August 11.
His Italian catchphrase, "flapflap", is very much like that of Chai, the peppyelephant, except that Chai's catchphrase is two words, while Ace's is one word.
