History[]
Patra in Pac-Man Party.
Pac-Man Party[]
In the story mode of Pac-Man Party, Patra meets Pac-Man while he is looking for the Ghost Gang in Mirage Oasis. Patra then introduces herself to him and tells him that she is a princess and lives in the great temple. She teams up with Pac-Man after the Ghost Gang insults her. After the duel, Pinky and Patra apologize to each other, and become friends.
Pac-Man Party 3D[]
Due to the removal of Mirage Oasis and Crystal Cliffs, Patra is instead introduced in Spooky Hallow. Like in the Wii counterpart of the game, she runs into Pac-Man and introduces herself to him. Pac-Man questions why she is doing here to which she replies that she was sick of doing homework.[1] She teams up with Pac-Man after the Ghost Gang insults her. After the duel Pinky and Patra apologize to each other, become friends and Patra decides to go back to her home.[2]

Personality[]
"M-MOP!? That's it, no one makes fun of my tail. It's on!" |
Patra is very kind and polite, refusing to introduce herself before Pac-Man.[3] Patra takes great pride in her tail and takes great care of it with self grooming of it and wanting it free of dirt[4][5] and fighting the Ghost Gang after calling her tail a mop. Her description and some of her speeches give to understand that she is determined when she has to do something. Patra doesn't appear to take losses well as she throws a fit and starts crying after losing a minigame. She is willing to protect her temple even if a monster like Arachne is let loose.[6] As shown in Pac-Man Party 3D, Patra is an impulsive person who does not enjoy activities she views as tedious given she ran away from home to avoid homework before returning to it after the game.
She's very sociable, becoming friends with Pinky, even after she insulted her tail[7], but even so, she had no friends until Pac-Man arrived.[8] In Pac-Man Party 3D, she also desires to be friends with Clyde.[9]
