− | + | '''Shaki''' is a [[squirrel]] who exists in the data of {{PG}} but does not appear in-game. Her intended role is not known other than that she would have served as a [[special character]]. No squirrel special characters have been officially introduced in any games in the series, making her a unique character among the species. | |
Shaki, alongside an unnamed [[cat]] [[villager]] (identified internally as <code>[[CAT13]]</code>) found in the source code of {{DnM}}, are the only known characters to be completely cut from the series. | Shaki, alongside an unnamed [[cat]] [[villager]] (identified internally as <code>[[CAT13]]</code>) found in the source code of {{DnM}}, are the only known characters to be completely cut from the series. | ||

Shaki's visual appearance resembles [[Caroline|Bliss]] (later renamed Caroline) with elements of [[Sally|Hazel]] (later renamed Sally), earning the character the community nickname of "Blazel" until her true name was discovered. She has red colored fur and large blue eyes just like Bliss, and has a creamy white pinstripe on her tail just like Hazel. In addition, she has another creamy white swirl on her head that resembles a question mark, unlike Bliss's flowery swirl. She wears a green apron over a white shirt. | Shaki's visual appearance resembles [[Caroline|Bliss]] (later renamed Caroline) with elements of [[Sally|Hazel]] (later renamed Sally), earning the character the community nickname of "Blazel" until her true name was discovered.

Immediately after her name in the data the nondescript exclamation {{Nihongo|とりゃ〜||Torya}} is found, which may have been an expression or greeting. These strings are not present in the localized versions of the game. Shaki's name was originally mistranslated as "Chestnut" by the community,<ref>{{Cite web|author=garrick|date=2020-02-06|url=https://www.twinkle-night.net/blog/posts/japanese-debug-text-in-animal-crossing.html|title=Japanese Debug Text in Animal Crossing|site=Twinkle Spiral Heart Attack|archive-date=|retrieved=|language=}}</ref> however, the Japanese word for chestnut is completely unrelated. The hiragana equivalent of Shaki's name (しゃきっ) means "crisp," as in a crunchy texture, or refreshing, as in a cool breeze. The word is also used as onomatopoeia for the swift movement of blades. |
