Pekkle
Location
Speed Climber AbilityUnlocked after Friendship Level 7
Dance All Night Ability
Unlocked after Friendship Level 13
Pekkle is found in Gemstone Town, located in 
Gemstone Mountain. He enjoys singing and is almost always seen dancing.
Personality
"Good-natured and kindhearted, Pekkle can most often be found singing or dancing—two things he excels at. Once he finds the abandoned Dance Hall in Gemstone Mountain, he’s on a mission to bring the party and restore the old town to a rockin’ rollin’ hotspot again. "
— Pekkle’s character page on the official Hello Kitty Island Adventure website
He very often uses his catchphrase "CHEESE AND CRACKERS!" in all-caps in many situations.
Pekkle's Birthday Celebration occurs annually in late-July.
Gifts
The player can give Pekkle up to three gifts per day. 
Gifting gives Friendship XP (experience points), and enough Friendship XP will increase Pekkle's Friendship Level with the player. Gift limits can be reset by gifting a 
Friendship Blossom or using a 
Friendship Bouquet. Certain quests, such as any Daily Quests from Pekkle, may also reward Friendship XP.
While raising Friendship XP, players will receive 
Feather as a reward for each gift given to Pekkle. The amount received depends on the value of the gift and increases by 1 at Good Friend and by 1 again at Close Friend.
If the player has reached maximum friendship level (
Best Friend status) with Pekkle, they will instead receive 1x 
Pekkle Box for each gift given or Daily Quest completed. It will still contain Feather when opened.
