“Even when I didn't see you in real life, you made special guest appearances in my dreams!”
― Pekoe, City Folk
Pekoe (ジャスミンJasumin?, Jasmine) is a normalcubvillager from the Animal Crossing series who was introduced in City Folk. Pekoe's name may derive from a term used to refer to unopened leaf buds in tea flushes; her initial phrase, "bud," is also associated with the head of a flower. Her appearance is Chinese-inspired and resembles June, another cub from the early games in the series. She appears on the album cover for Imperial K.K., which is also her favorite song. She has the nature hobby.
Pekoe is a cream-colored cub who has almond-shaped, aquamarine eyes, and each eye has a single eyelash. She has rosy tipped paws and rosy cheeks. Her nose is black, and her snout is white. She has short black hair and bangs, and she initially wears the Hot Spring Shirt. Her ears are white to resemble niújiǎotóu (牛角头), or ox horns, a traditional Chinese hairstyle often worn by women with traditional clothing.
