Something About Pinky

Piglet (ピグレット, "Piguretto") is a small pig who is the best friend of Winnie-the-Pooh. Despite the fact that he is a "Very Small Animal" with a generally timid disposition, he often conquers his fears and seems to want to be brave.
In the original color versions of Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations in the Winnie-the-Pooh books, Piglet has white skin and a green jumper. (Disney's interpretation of Piglet has pink skin and a darker-pink jumper.) He is the second shortest of the animals, with only Roo being slightly smaller (although they are close enough in size that Kanga cannot tell the difference when Piglet jumps in her pouch instead of Roo). His voice is described as "squeaky".

Piglet's favorite food is haycorns (acorns actually). At one point he plants one just outside his house, in hopes of someday having a handy supply.

Piglet lives in a "very grand house in the middle of a beech tree" in the Hundred Acre Wood, next to a sign which says "TRESPASSERS W". According to Piglet, that is short for "Trespassers William", his grandfather's name. Later in The House at Pooh Corner, Eeyore mistakenly offers Piglet's house as a new home for Owl, after Owl's house had blown down. Piglet does a "Noble Thing" and agrees to let Owl have the house, at which point Pooh asks Piglet to live with him and Piglet accepts.
