Ketchup (ケチャップ, Kechappu) is a peppy duck villager in the Animal Crossing series, originally exclusive to Template:AFe+. She can only move into a village if the player has her e-Card. Her name comes from the food, tomato ketchup, due to her tomato-like appearance. She has the play hobby. She appears on the cover of Steep Hill.

Ketchup returned to the series in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as part of the Template:NLWA update. By scanning amiibo cards, this villager can be met via the campground and invited to the town.

Ketchup in Template:AFe+

Ketchup is a red duck with a yellow beak, orange cheeks, and green hair on her forehead that resembles leaves. She is meant to look like a tomato, which connects to her name, Ketchup. She initially wears the Flicker Shirt in Template:AFe+, and the Rose Sky Tee in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. She, Frita, Carrot, Merengue, Zucker, Chadder, and Tangy are some of the villagers that directly resemble food.

Personality

Ketchup has a peppy personality, meaning that she will be friendly and excitable. She will rarely get discouraged from doing anything and she will always be happy to see the player. She will have a tendency to say things like "omigosh" and will often tell the player of her dream of being a popstar or a diva. She is often hyper, probably due to her love of candy and sweet food. She will get along with jock, lazy, normal, and other peppy villagers, but may annoy snooty or cranky villagers, due to upbeat personality.

House

In Template:AFe+, Ketchup's house is similar to Bea's, but she has the Ivy Wall and the Kitchen Flooring as the wallpaper and flooring. She has K.K. Technopop or K.K. Salsa playing on her CD Player with three shirts, which are the Gelato Shirt, the Blossom Shirt, and a Rally Shirt and a mixture of Green and Ranch Furniture such as a Green Lamp and a Ranch Cupboard including a set of the Bear set, the Baby Bear, and the Mama Bear.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Ketchup's house has a backyard pizzeria theme, including the Whole Pizza, Cutting-Board Set, Brick Oven, four stacks of Firewood, Picnic Table, Worktable, and the Sparrow's Nest. She keeps the Ivy Wall from her previous home, and now has a Backyard Lawn for carpeting. If she gain a stereo, it plays Neapolitan.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Ketchup's house retains the same outdoor eatery theme it had in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and has similar furniture. In the top-left corner of her house sits an Outdoor table with a Picnic basket and Handy water cooler on top of it, to the right of it is a Smoker and some Firewood, and her Brick oven is in the top-right corner. The center of the room contains a Red vinyl sheet, Log round table, Soup kettle, and a Director's chair. In the lower-left sits her Cute music player and Inflatable sofa, and the lower-right corner of the house is occupied by a Garden faucet. She once again keeps her Ivy Wall and Backyard Lawn flooring.
