==Story==
==Story==
===Before ''Kingdom Hearts''===
===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
Jiminy was assigned by the [[Blue Fairy]] to be [[Pinocchio]]'s conscience due to being too young to know the difference between right and wrong. Unfortunately, the [[Heartless]] destroyed their world, [[Prankster's Paradise]], which caused them to become separated.
Jiminy first makes his appearance in Disney Castle and becomes Sora, Donald, and Goofy's royal chronicler under the order of Queen Minnie. He explains to Goofy that he escaped right before his world was destroyed, and he was scattered from his friends. After they befriend Sora, they travel to many different worlds in search for the [[Mickey Mouse|King]], [[Riku]], and [[Kairi]]. Some time after, he meets up with [[Pinocchio]] in [[Traverse Town]], and tells him to stay put while he sets out to find [[Geppetto]], his father.  


===''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''===
When they head for [[Atlantica]]/[[Halloween Town]], depending on which world the player chooses, they get swallowed by the giant whale [[Monstro]] and meet up with Pinocchio again, this time reunited with his father Geppetto. But then Pinocchio was lured away from his friends by Riku and they searched for him until a [[Parasite Cage]] [[Heartless]] captured Pinocchio and attempted to take his heart. He failed, but then Riku captured him and stole his heart in hopes to be able to replace Kairi's heart. Jiminy, Sora, Donald, and Goofy manage to restore Pinocchio's heart with the united power of their hearts. Then, they battle Parasite Cage again and defeat it once and for all, but then Monstro feels ill and spit them out and separates Jiminy away from Pinocchio. He finds out that Pinocchio and Geppetto are okay after they visit Traverse Town again and find them living there.
Before [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]] prepare to leave [[Disney Castle]] to search for the "[[Keyblade|Key]]" under [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]'s orders, [[Minnie Mouse|Queen Minnie]] tasks Jiminy to join them on their journey as their royal chronicler. He explains to Goofy that he escaped right before his world was destroyed, and he was scattered from his friends. After they befriend [[Sora]], they travel to many different worlds in search for the King, [[Riku]], and [[Kairi]], although Jiminy usually rides unseen in the hood of Sora's jacket.
 
At one point{{?}}, Jiminy meets up with Pinocchio in [[Traverse Town]], and tells him to stay put while he sets out to find [[Geppetto]], his father.
<!--when during the game can you activate this cutscene? should it be considered noncanon, or do we treat it like the Sephiroth cutscene?-->
 
As they venture past [[Agrabah]], the [[Gummi Ship]] is swallowed by the giant whale [[Monstro]] and the team meet up with Pinocchio again, who is then reunited with his father Geppetto. However, Pinocchio was lured away from his friends by Riku and they searched for him until a [[Parasite Cage]] [[Heartless]] captured Pinocchio and attempted to take his heart. He failed, but then Riku captured him and stole his [[heart]] in hopes to be able to replace Kairi's heart. Jiminy, Sora, Donald, and Goofy manage to restore Pinocchio's heart with the united power of their hearts. Then, they battle [[Parasite Cage]] again and defeat it once and for all, but then Monstro feels ill and spit them out and separates Jiminy away from Pinocchio. He finds out that Pinocchio and Geppetto are okay after they visit Traverse Town again and find them living there.

Upon entering [[Castle Oblivion]], Sora and company realize that their memories are disappearing the more they head for each level of Castle Oblivion, and Jiminy's entries in his [[journal]] have disappeared altogether.
Upon entering [[Castle Oblivion]], Sora and company realize that their memories are disappearing the more they head for each level of Castle Oblivion, and Jiminy's entries in his journal have disappeared altogether.


When Sora gets angry at Donald and Goofy for not wanting to help save [[Naminé]], he sets out to find her by himself. Jiminy tries to reason with him, but he refuses to listen. When they finally meet Naminé, they learn that Sora never knew Naminé, but were rather fooled by her abilities to control memories of Sora and those attached to his heart.

After Sora and Co. defeated [[Larxene]], [[Vexen]], and [[Marluxia]], the members of [[Organization XIII]], Naminé takes them to a room of [[pod]]s, where she tells them she will be able to restore their memories while they sleep in them. However, as a price they will lose their memories of all things that happened while they were in Castle Oblivion. Afraid that they might not be able to thank her for what she does for them, Jiminy writes down a small entry in his journal that says "Thank Naminé".

After returning to Disney Castle, Jiminy finds a mysterious sentence saying "We must return to free them from their torment" while reorganizing his journal. Jiminy cannot recall any memory of that entry, so he shows the text to King Mickey. To investigate, King Mickey creates a [[Data-Sora|Sora out of data]] to try and find out more about the mysterious entries that continually appear. As Data-Sora continues to unravel the [[Bug Blox]] corruption that is affecting the [[Datascape]], Jiminy somehow gets sucked into the [[data world]], along with King Mickey, Donald, Goofy and [[Pete]]. He and his friends are sent back to the real world after the debugging of the journal is complete.

Because Jiminy Cricket managed to escape Prankster's Paradise before it became one of the [[Sleeping Worlds]], a simulacrum of Jiminy takes his place in the world's "dream", still appearing as Pinocchio's conscience.
====Side: Sora====
====Side: Sora====
Upon arriving in Prankster's Paradise, Sora meets Jiminy, and despite Sora's efforts, Jiminy does not remember him. Jiminy tells Sora that Pinocchio had told him when he was locked in a cage, that [[Young Xehanort|man in a black coat]] was to play a trick on Sora. The two friends then set out in search of the missing Pinocchio. After being misled around the Amusement Park by two [[Jestabocky]] [[Dream Eater]]s disguised as Pinocchio, the two eventually find him at the Circus, partially transformed into a donkey because of his misbehavior. Sora saves the puppet from the Dream Eaters, then orders him and Jiminy to leave. They are then notified by the Blue Fairy that Geppetto has been swallowed by Monstro, and they jump off a cliff into the ocean to rescue him. Sora follows them to the bottom of the ocean after the Blue Fairy informs them of their actions, watching as they are attacked and swallowed by the whale. After Sora defeats the [[Chill Clawbster]], he muses that the world must have been destroyed by the Heartless after this point, resulting in Jiminy and Pinocchio's separation from Geppetto.
Upon arriving in Prankster's Paradise, Sora meets Jiminy. Despite the efforts of Sora, but he did not remember him at all. Jiminy tells Sora that Pinocchio had told him when he was locked in a cage, that [[Young Xehanort|man in a black coat]] was to play a trick on Sora. Sora then saw off Pinocchio and Jiminy asked to climb on his shoulder. The two friends were the victim of a [[Jestabocky]], who had disguised the appearance of the puppet. They still found themselves in the path Pinocchio dolls, threatened by Dream Eaters. Sora therefore asked to leave Pinocchio with Jiminy. Pinocchio, who learned that his father had been swallowed by Monstro would find at any cost the whale, and Jiminy, fulfilling his role of consciousness, accompanied him. The two friends became so engulfed by the whale.

[[File:Riku's Darkness 02 KH3D.png|thumb|Pinocchio talks to Riku about how Jiminy has been there for him to help him see right from wrong.]]
When [[Riku]] met Geppetto in the mouth of Monstro, he promised the old man to find Pinocchio. Jiminy then appeared and decided to accompany the boy. He regained Pinocchio, accompanied by a man in a black coat. It was a double Riku, who personified the part of this young man in the darkness. Riku was troubled by this encounter, but the puppet reassured him by saying that he needed a friend to confide in, as had his Jiminy, which served as the conscience.
When [[Riku]] meets Geppetto and Jiminy inside Monstro's mouth, trying to find to Pinocchio, who left with someone in a [[black coat]]. Jiminy accompanies Riku as he searches for the puppet, and they eventually find him and the black-coated figure. The figure prompts Pinocchio to return to Jiminy and Riku, and removes his hood to reveal that he is a doppelgänger of Riku before disappearing in a [[corridor of darkness]]. Riku tells Jiminy and Pinocchio about his dark past, and Jiminy and Pinocchio ask if Riku has a friend to serve as his conscience, reminding him of Sora. Hearing a roar in the distance, Riku sends Jiminy and Pinocchio back to Geppetto while he fights the [[Char Clawbster]].  


Later, Jiminy receives a medal from the Blue Fairy.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''===
==Appearance==
After Sora, Jiminy and the others' visit to [[Mysterious Tower]] they are contacted by [[Chip and Dale]] through their newly acquired [[Gummiphone]]. They request Jiminy to teach Sora and the gang how to use the device. Jiminy also starts writing his journal on it.
 
After their venture in [[Monstropolis]], Sora wants to travel to the [[Realm of Darkness]] to rescue his friends. Jiminy tells him he doesn't even know how to get there in the first place. After their adventures in [[Arendelle]], the group returns to the Tower where Jiminy comments on the fact that Sora isn't necessarily reckless, he just doesn’t think.
 
After all seven [[Guardians of Light]] are reunited at Yen Sid’s Tower, Jiminy pops out of Sora's jacket to inform everyone that he has given them a Gummiphone, so that they can get caught up on the events of what happened, and to clear up any confusion.
 
The next day, the group travel to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] to confront the [[Real Organization XIII]]. After the gang is defeated by the Heartless, Sora uses the [[power of waking]] to travel to all the other worlds in search for them, with only Jiminy for company.
 
After the [[Master Xehanort]]'s defeat, he returns to Disney Castle with the King, Donald, Goofy, and Master Yen Sid.
 
==Design==
True to his name, Jiminy is an anthropomorphized cricket, though he bears virtually no resemblance to real-life crickets. He has olive skin, thin black eyebrows, four-fingered hands, and wears the famous white gloves many older Disney characters wear. He dresses very formally, wearing a royal blue top hat with an orange band near the base, a red vest with a single, pink button on the front, a yellow ascot, a black blazer, and a high-collared white shirt. He also sports tan pants and yellow shoes with black tips. Jiminy also carries a red umbrella.

==Personality==
Jiminy is a friendly and helpful individual with a strong moral compass, as expected of the being assigned to serve as Pinocchio's conscience. Jiminy is a good record keeper with a knack for keeping track of everything he comes across, a talent which he happily shares with Sora, Donald and Goofy. During ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', Jiminy proved to be wise and a true friend to Sora.
