{{Translation|'''Patty'''|ルイーダ|Ruīda|also known as '''Ruida''', '''Luida''' or '''Lucia''' in the Japanese versions}}, is a recurring character from the [[Dragon Quest]] series. She first appeared in the [[Dragon Quest III]] which she is the proprietor of [[Ruida's Tavern]] in [[Aliahan]]. She functions as a party planner in the games she appears.

Patty utilizes the common village woman sprite in the original versions of ''III'', ''V'', and ''VI'', switching this for the Bunny girl design in the assorted remade versions of those titles. Starting with ''IX'', however, Patty is depicted as a tall woman with long blue hair wearing it in a ponytail and blue eyes. Her attire is that of a female bar-tender, donning a red/white shirt and a orange dress and wears brown boots. She wears jewellery on each of her wrists.

Patty displays some personality in her brief dialogue in the older titles, being a perpetually cheery aid eager to set up the perfect adventuring party for the main character. In ''IX'', she is presented as a woman of the world, whose stubbornness is exceeded only by her compassion for others. Always saying "dear", "honey" or "sweetie" to the people she knows, along with the hero, she caries herself almost as an older sister. Her bullheadedness allows her to overcome hardships that would make others flinch, as demonstrated when she walked all the way  from Stornway to Angel Falls to get and bring Erinn's father back to Stornway. She is also a women of courage which she went in the Hexagon after the earthquake and explorers the entire cave before encountering the Hexagoon.

Patty is the proprietor of [[Patty's Party Planning Place|her eponymous bar]] in [[Aliahan]]. She will organize a party for [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|hero]] and offer words of advice.

 

 

Tucked away behind the bar in [[Alltrades Abbey]], Patty has improved her trade to the point that she can now manage the protagonist's more bestial buddies along with his human companions. How she got the head priest to allow her to set up a bar in an abbey is a question only the Goddess Herself can answer.

It turns out that she became lost in the Hexagon for some time, which is why the knights of Stornway are searching for her. Erinn remembers her name from her father, and she asks the hero to find rescue her. Once in the Hexagon the hero must explore and search for Patty, finding her trapped under a rock dislodged during the earthquake. After defeating the Hexagoon that was inside the Hexagon, she takes Erinn to [[Stornway]] in her father's stead to take over the inn.
