Nan is a normal cat fish in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in ACNH. Her name may come from nanny, another word for a female goat, and her catchphrase may relate to a baby goat, which is called a kid.
In New Horizons, Nan has nature hobby and will be more frequently seen sitting underneath trees or observing and watering flowers. She will also fish and chase after bugs, and may also be seen carrying bundles of sticks or picnic baskets.
Characteristics
Appearance
Nan is a gray goat with pale freckles on her cheek. She has pink inside her ears and orange and yellow-striped horns on her head. Her hooves are tipped pink, the same color as the inside of her ears.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the normal personality. For more information, click here.
Nan is a normal villager. Nan will sometimes become very interested in clothes after staying for a while. She is sweet to players and is usually in a good mood, but if the player does not go to their house on time when they invite Nan over in Wild World, she will be angry with them. Like Chevre, Nan is ever so friendly; when the player feels down, she usually helps them back up again.

Trivia
- In Nan's amiibo card artwork, she has what appears to be a black goatee that is the same color as the rest of her fur. This is likely an error, as the goatee is absent in-game.
- Chevre's picture in her New Horizons house is a reference to Japanese children song Nani-tte nan-nano about black goat and white goat sending letters to each other.
