“Are you power shopping? This is totally the place to do it!”
― Anicotti, New Leaf
Anicotti (ラザニア,Razania?, Lasagne) is a peppymousevillager in the Animal Crossing series. She has appeared in every game of the series except for Wild World and City Folk. Her name is based on manicotti, a tube of pasta. Her catchphrase, "cannoli", means "little tube" in Italian, and is a type of dessert. She has the fashion hobby.
Anicotti is a turquoise green mouse with a striped tail and hot pink inside her ears. The tip of her nose is black and her cheeks are light green. Her eyes are big, with small black pupils (slightly blue in New Horizons), with eyelids that droop downwards and are half-closed. She has a short dark brown hairstyle that is parted in the middle. In Animal Forest, Anicotti's cheeks were light pink instead of green. Anicotti initially wears a desert shirt in Animal Forest, a peachy tee in New Leaf, and a colorful striped sweater in New Horizons. She carries a picnic umbrella on rainy days.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the peppy personality. For more information, click here.
Peppy villagers appear to be in a good mood often and are easy to become friends with. As a peppy villager, Anicotti will have the tendency to over-react in conversations about trivial subjects, and will usually be over-excited to see the player or other villagers. This villager, like other peppy villagers, will rarely be discouraged from doing anything, including the usual hobbies. Peppy villagers dream of becoming famous in the future and read Ms. Nintendique, an unseen magazine read by snooty, normal, and other peppy villagers in the Animal Crossing series. Peppy villagers will also have a very short attention span, which means they soon forget some arguments or tasks given to the player which weren't completed. Anicotti may easily get upset in conversation when the wrong things are said. She will get along well with other villagers, particularly lazy, normal, jock, sisterly, and other peppy villagers, but she may annoy and upset cranky and snooty villagers, whose personalities differ to hers. Due to the nature of peppy villagers, she may mention how "old" or "boring" cranky villagers are compared to her opposing, upbeat personality.
House[]
In Animal Crossing, Anicotti has the rose wall and ornate rug. She has two items from the musical instruments set: a bass and a vibraphone, giving her room a musical touch. On the back wall of her home (from left to right) resides a papa bear, a mama bear, two regal chairs, and an unidentified indoor plant from the house plant set. On the right wall, she owns a dainty painting. While on the lower left-hand side of her house, she owns a high-end stereo, which plays K.K. Aria. And in the lower left-hand corner resides a mini gargloid.
In New Leaf, Anicotti's house got a complete makeover, she now has many items from the green series. She has a hi-fi stereo that plays Neapolitan and some yellow cosmos on top of her green dresser. She also has a flower chair and a game shelf. Her wallpaper is the ranch wall, and her flooring is the ornate rug.
In New Horizons, Anicotti's house has a green exterior with a light green rustic door and a pink slate roof. The interior has the beaded-curtain wall and a white simple small mat on the kitschy tile. She has a green wooden chest, table, chair, end table, simple bed. She also has a white mini fridge, a white gas range, a yellow dish-drying rack, and a green simple kettle.
Anicotti may look sort of sleepy, but she's anything but! This perky little mouse will talk you ears off if you let her. While a lot of it is just friendly babble, she does occasionally drop pearls of wisdom.
Anicotti's picture quote is also a quote from a poem by Catherine Fisher, a Welsh poet and children's book author. It also likely refers to her big ears.
According to her e-Card, Anicotti is very chatty.
Anicotti's Happy Home Designer request for a "pizza-party space" may be a reference to Chuck E. Cheese, an American chain of pizza restaurants with a mouse as their mascot.
