Kiki

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

- Kiki

Kiki is a normal, cat villager who has appeared in every game. Her name may come from Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service, an animated film about a young witch-in-training named Kiki who has a black cat. Kiki may be a reference to the black cat, or it may come from the sound produced when saying "kittykitty" fast. Her Japanese name comes from the dish caviar, which may be a reference to her black coloration. Kiki appears on the cover of, near the bottom right.

Prior to the Halloween update for, Kiki was featured in the direct, yet was not in the initial game, and no unused assets (Icons, models, etc.) could be found in the game's data.

Appearance
Kiki is a black cat with wide eyes and yellow sclera, which is slightly flattened in onwards. She has perked up ears that are bright magenta inside, and a hollow nose, which is similar to Coco's eyes and mouth. Her tail often prances about while walking around town. She wears an Argyle Knit, which is red and green in a line of diamonds, knitted with golden yellow stitches across each diamond. The tips of her arms and legs are a darker black than the rest of her body. Her pink mouth is smiling everywhere she goes, and the bridge of her nose is gray.

Personality
Kiki has a normal personality. She is shy and caring, and may get upset easily and may tell the player to stay away from her but she does not take it on him or her. When she asks the player for favors, she often compliments the player's promptness (even if it actually takes a while). She may sometimes ask the player cooking-related questions, like how long to cook spaghetti until it's al denté or cheerfully telling other villagers of a recipe she once tried, with mixed responses from the different personality types.

She wakes up at 5:00 a.m. like other normal villagers, and may appear inside towards the middle of the day. She will enjoy partaking in the usual hobbies: bug catching, fishing, fossil hunting, and the others. She will also give her picture to the player (Wild World only) after talking to her frequently, telling the player's being "the best friend ever." She may mention an unseen friend called Moppina, an imaginary friend which comes from her hygiene and cleanliness concerns. Moppina is mentioned only in Wild World. Kiki will get on well with peppy and jock villagers, appearing motherly and sisterly towards them. She may become upset when talking to a cranky villager, due to their cruel nature which makes them appear rude when talking about other villagers.
