Dancer

Template:Enemy The Dancer is a high-ranking Nobody controlled by Demyx that is found in Kingdom Hearts II.

Strategy

The Dancer has a very effective fighting style. It will kick Sora vigorously for an extended period of time. Each kick sends Sora a few feet into the air. The most deadly attack comes when the Dancer is sliding with glowing hands; if one touches Sora while doing this, it grabs Sora and jerks him around in a dance before kicking him for high damage. (This is the "low posture" the journal mentions above.) This can make you lose up to 30% of your total HP. Dancers are difficult to defeat in large numbers. An attack that is good to use when surrounded is Explosion. In using this Ability you can buy yourself some time to target a individual enemy.

Design

Notably more brightly colored and feminine in appearance than other Nobodies, Dancers wear pink bell-bottom pants with a white Nobody symbol printed on one leg. They also have pink beenie-like hats on that cover where their eyes would be, with a long, pink, braid-like growth sprouting from under the caps. Dancers also seem to wear dark, heeled boots with toes that point up at sharp right angles, as well as dark bracelets on each wrist, both with a small spike on them. They also have dark armor, resembling the top of the Nobody symbol, that cover their chests. This armor is worn somewhat like a halter top gown, as it exposes the Dancers' shoulders and terminates in a collar. Their hands lack fingers and their mouths look to have been sewn on into a permanent, eerie grin. Dancers move quite gracefully, gliding across the ground while their feet glow pink.

The Dancer's name is a reference to the Final Fantasy job class of the same name.
