'''Perdita''' is a female dalmatian who appears in [[Kingdom Hearts (game)|''Kingdom Hearts'']], having been transported to [[Traverse Town]] with her mate, [[Pongo]].

==Journal Entries==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
''A beautiful dalmatian. With her partner Pongo, she takes care of 99 dalmatian puppies. Perdita will brave any danger to protect her spotted charges.''

''Perdita was first spotted on-screen in "101 Dalmatians" (1961).''

==Story==
{{spoiler}}
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Prior to the events of ''Kingdom Hearts'', Perdita's [[world]] was destroyed by the [[Heartless]]. With her husband Pongo, she escaped through a [[Corridor of Darkness]] to reach Traverse Town. However, Perdita's owners, Roger and Anita, disappeared during the destruction. To add to her worries, all ninety-nine of Perdita's puppies were seperated and scattered across other worlds in the [[Kingdom Hearts|Kingdom Hearts universe]].

The story of the dalmatians' plight managed to spread very quickly amongst the residents of Traverse Town. [[Leon]] was especially concerned about the matter, and brought it to [[Sora|Sora's]] attention. Throughout his journey, Sora found the dalmatian pups and sent them back to Perdita in Traverse Town. To show how grateful she and Pongo were, she gave Sora gifts for his journey as he continued to find more puppies.

When Sora sealed [[Kingdom Hearts (Combined Heart)|Kingdom Hearts]], Perdita, along with Pongo and all of her children, returned home.

==Personality==
Perdita is a very protective mother, and is extremely remorseful at the loss of her puppies in ''Kingdom Hearts''. She constantly frets for the safety of her pups, and keeps a very close watch on them.

==Appearance==
Perdita is a typical dalmatian with white fur that is speckled with black spots. She wears a blue collar, as do all of her daughters, while her husband and sons wear red collars.

==Abilities==
Perdita has no apparent abilities in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe as of yet. In the film, she is shown to be a very aggressive fighter if she needs to be.

==Origin==
Perdita's appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts'' is based on her look in Walt Disney's ''101 Dalmatians''. That film was in turn inspired by the book ''The Hundred and One Dalmatians'' by Dodie Smith, which was published in 1956. Disney's Perdita is actually a hybrid of the characters Perdita and Missis from the original book. Missis is Pongo's wife, while Perdita is a stray taken in by the family to help care for Missis's original fifteen puppies.

==Trivia==

* Perdita lacks a voice actor in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', as Sora and his friends do not have a method for communicating with animals unless they are in said animal's world and/or they utilize Donald's magic to become that breed of animal themselves (as is reflected in Sora's friendship with [[Simba]] and his journey to the [[Pride Lands]]).

* Perdita was originally voiced by [[Cate Bauer]]. She is currently voiced by [[Kath Soucie]], who took over Perdita's voice in the original film's sequel, ''101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure''. Soucie currently provides the voice for mostly minor Disney characters.

* Perdita's world of origin currently lacks a name.
