Cheshire Cat

The Cheshire Cat is a pink and purple cat from Wonderland that appears in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The Cheshire Cat has mysterious powers and constantly teleports from one place to another. He speaks in riddles and wears an almost permanent grin on his face. He also likes to move his body parts around in odd positions, mostly his head, to see the reaction of his audience.

Kingdom Hearts
''A mysterious, grinning cat who talks in riddles and can appear and disappear at will. He loves to mislead and confuse.''

He entered with a big smile in "Alice in Wonderland" (1951).

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
A mysterious, grinning cat who always talks in riddles.

He appears when you least expect it, and disappears whenever he pleases.

Kingdom Hearts
In the first game, the Cheshire Cat aided Sora and his friends during their time in Wonderland, guiding them not only in finding evidence of Alice's innocence, but also in finding the Trickmaster. His true intentions though, were not very clear, and he seemed more interested on seeing how Sora would handle the challenges, then on seeing him succeed. After Sora and co. defeated the Trickmaster, the Cheshire Cat was the one who told them that Alice was no longer in Wonderland, and had been taken by the shadows. He left disappearing into the darkness; his fate after he leaves is unknown as he is never seen in Wonderland again.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
The Cheshire Cat appears as a figment of Sora's memories in Wonderland, created by Naminé, giving him advice on how to save himself from being executed by the Queen of Hearts (albeit in riddles).

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
The Cheshire Cat will reappear in this game, due to a screenshot showing the character near other screenshots (implying he will have the same role of tricking people).

Origin
He first appeared in Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" which was based of of the book by "Lewis Carrol called "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". The Cheshire Cat' was one of the first people to actually care about Alice's problem about not being able to get home and sing in front of the guests at the party. He thought that it was better to have fun and be brave then to have never tried at all, even if it killed you. This almost happened when he brought Alice in front of the Queen of Hearts.

 * For some unknown reason, everyone in Wonderland is deathly afraid of the Cheshire Cat. This is do to the point where the Cheshire Cat can teleport anywhere it wants and can do anything it likes without any repercussions on itself, just on others. The Queen of Hearts is quoted from the book on saying that she tried to chop his head off before, but his head just came right back on hand he left with that strange grin on his face. It could also be that they are afraid of him because he is madder (crazier) then the rest of the population in Wonderland.
