Kiki

"I'm gonna be the very best witch that I can be, Mom. And I know having a good heart is important."

- "Hi!"

Kiki (also known Kiki the Witch) is a 13-year-old witch and the titular protagonist of Kiki's Delivery Service.

Early life
Kiki was born in the spring of 1947. She lives with her parents and pet cat, Okino, Kokiri, and Jiji, until the night she decides to leave.

Personality
Kiki is a strong-willed and cute 13-year-old, leaving home for a year in order to train as a witch. She is very friendly, sweet, and upbeat, however is rather stubborn at times and proud, which is sometimes to her disadvantage. She is very attached to her pet black cat, Jiji, and introduces him as her best friend. Kiki is not ever so popular after her first arrival as she is viewed as a bit of a show off, but gradually makes new friends with her customers and is the heroine of the film at the end.

Appearance
Kiki has short, dark hair, which she ties back in a large, red bow. She wears a short-sleeved, black dress, which appears to be navy blue at times, white undergarments that consist of a tank top and bloomers, and red flats that look orange at times. However, at the beginning, she is dressed in a green, short-sleeved dress with a pink apron with the same shoes. Kiki is not initially pleased with her appearance at the beginning of the film, but later on is told to like herself as a witch by her mother.
