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. Her German name, "Kleo" is short for "Kleopatra," the German version of Cleopatra, the famous Egyptian queen. Her French name “Neferti” also references Queen Nefertiti, an Ancient Egyptian queen. As an islander in Animal Crossing, Ankha loves cherries and is allergic to apples. Ankha also appears on the cover of K.K. Break.
The first joker from the card game that I created in cooperation with Chriscards and that will be launched on Kickstarter in the spring. If you would like to have the game and always want to be up to date, you are welcome to follow Chriscards on Kickstarter:
In the video you can see the little flip book animation, which can be found in the corner of each number card for each color (each element).
A little special gimmick. :)

And one more card from the deck I illustrated in collaboration with Chriscards: The Jack of Clubs. The deck will be called "Chriscards - Elements" because the different colours reflect the four elements: Fire=Diamonds, Water=Spades, Earth=Hearts, Air=Clubs. The deck will be live on Kickstarter in early 2023. Maybe you would like to follow us there to always be up to date?
After more than 2 years of work, I can finally let the cat out of the bag 😺✨🎉: In cooperation with Chriscards I have illustrated a deck of cards!! The Kickstarter campaign will be launched in early 2023. If you're interested in the cardgame and want to be kept up to date, you can already follow us on Kickstarter. :)
