Dopey

Dopey is one of the seven dwarfs and one of the seven titular deuteragonists in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 
He is the only dwarf who never says a word and the only dwarf who doesn't have a beard. The performance model for Dopey were provided by the late Oliver Wallace (who performed live action reference for Sneezy in the same film, provided the voice of Mr. Winkie in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad, and contributed music for several Disney films from the late 1930’s until 1963, except Saludos Amigos (1943), The Three Cabalerros (1945), Melody Time (1948), Sleeping Beauty (1959), 101 Dalmatians (1961), and The Sword in the Stone (1963)) and the late Eddie Collins (who also provided any vocal work needed for the character).
Although he never says a word, Dopey's vocal effects were provided by the late Mel Blanc.
==Background==
===Personality===
Dopey is often the butt of the other dwarfs' jokes and his goofy, frolicsome actions often aggravate the snooty Doc and the ill-tempered Grumpy. Not entirely clueless, Dopey simply acts in the vein of a toddler or a dog, which explains why his shenanigans are met with little to no punishment or confrontation, aside from a soft clunk on the head, or something along those harmless lines. The dwarfs are apparently used to his silly actions and simply neglect them, generally.
Perhaps Dopey's most notable trait is his lack of speech. As mentioned above, Happy states Dopey is simply unmindful of whether or not he can speak, as he has simply never tried. In spite of this, he can occasionally be heard making various vocals, such as whimpers, hiccups, and a one-shot holler. Interestingly, his lack of speech does not seem to trouble the rest of the dwarfs, as they are shown to understand his other forms of communication just fine. Doc, specifically, was able to easily translate Dopey's blathering into a cohesive sentence prior to their first meeting with Snow White.
===Physical Appearance===
Dopey is a short and slender dwarf. Unlike his companions, he has no beard and is completely bald. He has pale skin, baby blue eyes, giant ears, thick black eyebrows, and a small pink cherry nose.
==Role in the film==
==Video Games==
Dopey appears along with the other Dwarfs in the series, where their first appearance was in a glass podium with Snow White during the first game's Dive to the Heart. Unlike the Beast's servants, they are depicted as awake, meaning either their homeworld was not devoured by the Heartless, or that the Dwarfs were able to get to safety beforehand.
Prior to the events of Kingdom Hearts, the Dwarfs' appearances in Birth by Sleep reveals their lives working in the mines for jewels until the arrival of the Keyblade wielders in their world. The Dwarfs encounter the first of these warriors, Ventus, although Dopey shows the least hostility towards the newcomer than the other dwarfs. After returning to their cottage, the dwarfs meet Snow White for the first time and take her in after she claimed she was attacked by an Unversed. Unfortunately, Snow White falls into a deep slumber after taking a bite from the Queen's poisoned apple, and the Dwarfs place her in a glass coffin to mourn her. However, thanks to assistance from Aqua and the Prince, Snow White is able to awaken, and the Dwarfs celebrate.

==Trivia==
*Although Dopey has a very childlike appearance and mentality, his low-pitched vocal effects suggest that he is actually an adult.
*Not only is Dopey the only dwarf who does not talk, but he is also the only dwarf who is completely bald and lacks a beard.
