Story
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
The trio appears in Disney Town participating in the world's mini games. Scrooge McDuck has left them in-charge of an ice-cream machine, which they are having trouble handling. Captain Justice comes to lend them a hand, but only ends up with making a big mess. When Pete fails to get the machine to properly work, Ventus arrives and asks if he could try getting it to work. With his help, the trio manages to make it work properly.
They are later present during the Million Dreams Award presentation, hoping they'll win due to all their hard work around town with the ice-cream machine. They cheers soon after when it's announced that Terra, Aqua, and Ventus all three won the award.
Some time after the defeat of Terra-Xehanort, the trio race on the Rumble Race ground, with Huey as the victor.
Kingdom Hearts
In Traverse Town, the trio has opened an item shop. Judging by conversations with the three, one can clarify that the three brothers went off to seek their fortune. They tell Donald that they wished to make money so that they could travel on a real adventure and therefore went off to start their shop. They also made it clear to their uncle: "No family discounts."
After the defeat of Ansem, they are seen returning to Disney Castle.
Kingdom Hearts II
After parts of Hollow Bastion has been restored, the trio shows and opens each their own shops.
After Sora and Riku have vanquished Xemnas, Huey, Dewey and Louie are seen once again returning to Disney Castle along with King Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Scrooge, Jiminy Cricket, and Pluto.
Kingdom Hearts coded
Data versions of Huey, Dewey, and Louie appear during Data-Sora's adventure in Data-Traverse Town. Data-Cid is looking for them when Sora shows up and asks Data-Sora to look for the triplets.
Kingdom Hearts III
Huey, Dewey, and Louie traveled with Scrooge McDuck to Twilight Town. They sell Gummi Blocks out of what used to be the accessory shop run by Jessie.
Design
Huey, Dewey, and Louie are virtually identical to one another except for the color of their clothes. They are a trio of small, anthropomorphized ducks with yellow-orange beaks, legs, and webbed feet, four-fingered hands, white plumage, thin, grey "eyebrows", and light blue eyes that almost seem to glow. Each wears a long-sleeved turtleneck shirt and baseball cap. Huey's cap and shirt are red, Dewey's are blue, and Louie's are green.
Personality
Although similar in design, the triplets can be differentiated by their personalities, which are usually most apparent in Jiminy's Journal. Huey is often described as the leader, and the brains of the group. Dewey is a go-getter, and the most adventurous of the three. Finally, Louie is the laidback, but nonetheless perceptive member of the trio.
Origin
Huey, Dewey, and Louie appear in several animated cartoons and comic books published by Disney. They first appeared in a newspaper comic strip in 1937 and their first animated appearance was in the theatrical short Donald's Nephews, released in 1938. Their names are respectively derived from Huey Long, Thomas Dewey, and Disney animator Louis Schmitt.
The triplets are the sons of Donald's sister Della, and Donald is often shown to raise them in Della's absence. In most media, they are shown to have the same personalities, finishing each other's sentences and even sharing a voice actor, while the cartoons Quack Pack and the 2017 DuckTales reboot instead depict them with individual voices, outfits (albeit still color-coded) and personalities.
