Striped Aria

The Striped Aria is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design
A Striped Aria has a smooth, conical body that is covered in vertical stripes that alternate from pink to off-white and has a Heartless emblem emblazoned on its chest. The top of its body flares outward and forms a jagged "collar" below the Heartless's spherical, pitch black head. It also wears a conical, pink hat that has a jagged brim and a thin, black, curled tip. Like many Heartless, the Striped Aria has glowing yellow eyes. Its seemingly useless feet sport three small, thin toes.

The Striped Aria's name does not follow the usual pattern of other Heartless in its family. While is includes a musical term, "aria", a solo vocal piece with instrumental accompaniment, like an opera, it does not include a color. Instead, it refers to the stripes on the Heartless’s body.

Strategy
The Striped Aria doesn't attack much and often flies high into the air. Its only attack is to fire a ball of time magic that can inflict Defense Lv. 1.

Etymology
