Pino, Noki, and Kio are characters from the South Korean film *Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs*.

They are members of The Fearless Seven.

## Appearances

Pino, Noki, and Kio are identical triplets. As humans, they are slim, fair-skinned young men with round noses.

Their attires each consist of a brown leather cap pulled down over their eyes, a thick, white button up shirt, yellow leather gloves, dark green jeans, and tan, knee-high leather boots. The shirt is long-sleeved when they are humans, with faint, vertical grey stripes, three brass buttons, and a green stand up collar. The collar's seams and the front placket are dark green. They each wear a brown leather belt with a tan middle stripe and brass buckle around their waist. Their pants have pockets and are tucked into their boots, which have yellow seams and a button at the tops and slightly pointed toes.

As dwarfs, the triplets are chubbier and much shorter, with large, pointed ears and light green skin. Pino and Kio both have a grease stain on their left cheek, while Noki has a grease stain on his right cheek. All of them have grease stains on their shirts (which are short-sleeved and only have two buttons instead of three). Their belts are completely brown.

Pino, Noki, and Kio can be told apart by their caps, which have one, two, and three stripes, respectively. The caps all have flat tops, loose-hanging straps, and stitches down the sides.

## Personalities

Pino, Noki, and Kio have cheerful, playful and introverted personalities. They are very close and always seen together.

All three of them are engineering geniuses, constantly inventing and working on wooden machines that range from cameras to giant robots; so much time is spent on these machines that the triplets usually don't have time for anything else, even lying. This occasionally prevents them from realizing when trouble is happening outside their workshop. They enjoy coming up with names for their inventions.

Like the other F7 members, the triplets initially assume the goodness of people based on their looks.

## Story

Pino, Noki, and Kio are members of the F7, a group that combats monsters and beasts on Fairy Tale Island.

However, after the triplets and their comrades accidentally mistake the Fairy Princess for a witch and attack her, they are cursed to become green dwarfs whenever people look at them. The only way to break the curse is to be kissed by the most beautiful woman in the world.

The triplets are instantly infatuated with Snow White's good looks when they meet her as Red Shoes. They build a wooden Polaroid camera as a present for her.

They appear in their woodbot after Snow White is chased by the giant wooden bunny, though it is already knocked out by the time they arrive. They use the robot to drag the bunny back to Risky Rock.

When Prince Average and his soldiers attack Risky Rock, Pino, Noki, and Kio use the woodbot to fight the Twin Guards.

Before the fight at King White's castle, the triplets smash the stone holding Excalibur after Arthur fails to pull the sword out. At the castle, they help fight the Magic Mirror and smash open the door so Merlin can escape to defeat Regina. They rescue Merlin before he falls to his death, bringing him to Snow White.

After Regina is defeated and Snow White and Merlin get married, Pino, Noki, and Kio continue to experiment and build machines. While Arthur, Hans, and Jack go out to find their own love interests, the triplets appear to stay behind in the kingdom. And apparently content in their dwarf forms. As they continue inventing, building, and were shown studying the magic apples.

They were shown to have robotic like assistants.

## Skills

***Master Inventors:*** Pino, Noki and Kio are very talented at creating and building different types of wood-based machinery and weapons, including a Polaroid camera, a hand-operated copier, and the woodbot.

***Ranged Weaponry:*** As humans, Pino and Noki used crossbows to fight their opponents, while Kio used a bazooka.

## Trivia

* The triplets' names (Pino, Noki, and Kio) are a reference to the Italian fairy tale Pinocchio.
* They are the only members not shown to find love interests
* A drawing from the Red Shoes art book shows them with blond hair.
* They have an Italian accent.
* They may have invented three lady robot assistants. Designs similar to Pinocchio or the Tin Man.
* Given that they live in Fairytale Land, its never stated if the robot ladies were their inventions or perhaps creatures in themselves. As one could say they were a possible reference to the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz.
