Periwinkle

**Periwinkle** (or simply **Peri**) is a male kitten from the city who first appears in Blue's Big Mystery. He is also Aly's pet. He becomes a recurring friend of Blue afterward.

Periwinkle loves to do magic tricks, put on shows, build forts, and do things on a grand scale. He's very outgoing and likes to collect things. Periwinkle talks and is a male cat. Among his favorite hobbies are being mischievous and practicing magic. Periwinkle is friends with Plum, a purple bird (or Rainbow Puppy in *Blue's Clues & You*) that lives in the same city he lived in before moving to Blue's neighborhood. Steve and Joe often call him Peri. His favorite color is red, which is proven in "Blue Takes You to School". He is voiced by Cameron Bowen, Kenny Kim, and the late Jansen Panettiere.

## Description

﻿Periwinkle is an excitable and sneaky kitten who came from the city. He recently moved into Blue's neighborhood and met many new people in the new environment in Season 3. He goes to school with Blue, Magenta, and many other animal children and enjoys playing with others and practicing magic tricks (shown in Blue Takes You to School).

## Looks

Periwinkle is a lilac tabby kitten, and he is bluish white with a periwinkle with blue triangles on his forehead. He has triangles on his back, triangular ears and a pink nose. Periwinkle has a short curvy and skinny tail and four legs; his feet have invisible toes. His right front foot is periwinkle and the other feet aren't.

In the reboot, he stands on his two legs, like Orange Kitten, and his front paws have visible thumbs, instead of walking on four legs like from the original.

## Appearances

Periwinkle has appeared in various episodes. His first appearance was in "Blue's Big Mystery" (as the answer to Blue's Clues). His last appearance in the original series was Bluestock. He made a return in the *Blue's Clues & You* episode "Our New Neighbor."

## Trivia

* Periwinkle is the only character not to appear in "Blue's Big City Adventure".
* Periwinkle is the answer to Blue's Clues in Blue's Big Mystery and The Ghost of the Living Room.
* Periwinkle is the second clue in "Blue's Predictions".
* In "Blue's Big Musical", Periwinkle thought the group inside the house were doing a magic show when they were really doing a music show. But because the Blue's Clues group needed more time to get ready backstage, Periwinkle did his magic show to entertain the audience.
	+ The first time it happened was on "100th Episode Celebration" and the 2nd time it happened was on "Blue Takes You to School" in which Periwinkle got to go to school for the first time.
* Periwinkle was in Steve and Blue's house for the first time in "Café Blue."
* Before Periwinkle moved next door to the Blue's Clues house, he lived in a city.
* Periwinkle skidooed in "Periwinkle Misses His Friend" and "The Big Book About Us."
* In the episode "Periwinkle Misses His Friend", Periwinkle wondered what happened to Blue until Steve tells him that Blue skidooed into the little city he had just built.
* In Blue Takes You to School, it is revealed that Periwinkle's favorite color is red.
* Periwinkle is first seen interacting with Joe in "The Big Book About Us."
* He interacts with Sidetable Drawer in "Blue's Big Musical" and how they shared their feelings with themselves.
	+ Sidetable tells Periwinkle that she wanted to sing in the show but never told Steve she wanted to. While Periwinkle had a similar response, Steve never got to see any of his magic tricks.
* He only appeared in only a few episodes with Sidetable Drawer saying "Blue's Clues, I'm so excited" because most episodes with Sidetable Drawer saying "Blue's Clues, I'm so excited" were before Periwinkle's debut.

	+ He states in the aforementioned episode that his best friend from his old neighborhood is Rainbow Puppy, which may imply that after the original *Blue's Clues* ended, he moved to another city.
