Why is it feminine?

Ficha is feminine because it derives from the Latin "fīca" (a gesture or sign), which was a feminine noun in Latin. Portuguese inherited this grammatical gender through Vulgar Latin and the development of the Romance languages. The word's semantic evolution to mean "token," "card," or "file" in modern Portuguese preserved the original feminine gender from its Latin ancestor.
