Personality
Snooty personalities like Ankha are tricky to manage as they’re not exactly the most open or friendly villagers when you meet them for the first time. A fan of gossip don’t be surprised if she acts rude to you at first although over time she’ll eventually warm up to you. With her disposition, she gets along well with cranky and normal villagers but will have a hard time dealing with lazy and jock villagers.
Appearance
Ankha is heavily based of Egyptian mythology and as such has several allusions and inspirations from that time period. She has a mostly yellow color scheme which is broken apart by dark blue lines across her body. She has black eyes with dark blue eyeliner. Her beginning outfits, both Egyptian themed, change over game appearance.
How to get Ankha in New Horizons
Getting a villager you want in New Horizons is particularly tricky as there is only one surefire way to do so, the rest is up to luck. There are two primary methods of getting Ankha in your village; the first is using Nook Miles to fly to an island and see if she is there. Keep in mind if you do this you’ll have to have an open plot available. The second method is to wait and see if she’ll appear at your campsite. Either way both methods are based on luck, so it’s completely up to chance.
Role of Ankha in New Leaf
Ankha’s role in New Leaf mirrors that of New Horizons very closely. She is also a villager who can be invited to stay in your town and she still has her signature Snooty personality.
Amiibo
A guaranteed way to get Ankha on your island is to use her Amiibo card. Simply scan it with your Switch at the Town Hall. Keep in mind in order to do this you need to have both the Town Hall and Campsite constructed. Once you’ve invited him to your campsite, you simply need to do this three times and she’ll be part of your island!
