Trudy (Disney)

Trudy is a fictional character of the Mickey Mouse universe, created by Romano Scarpa and featuring in Italian Disney comics. She is Black Pete's girlfriend and distant cousin. Trudy is an anthropomorphic cat, who holds a strong physical resemblance to Pete. She was introduced in "Topolino e la collana Chirikawa" ("Mickey Mouse and the Chirikawa Necklace", first published on March 10, 1960). She is initially depicted as a childhood acquaintance of his: they are even shown as kids kidnapping Mickey when he was a baby. However, Trudy soon became his girlfriend, his partner-in-crime and roommate—whenever they hold residence out of prison that is. Their relationship seems to have evolved to a long-standing common-law marriage.

She often appears to be the couple's brains, although Plottigat often takes part in the couple's plans. Her relationship with Pete seems to have started after Pete fell out of love with Minnie Mouse, who is instead engaged to Mickey Mouse.
