Meta Knight (Kirby of the Stars - Mie Takase's novels)

==Summary==
Meta Knight is a main character in Mie Takase's Kirby of the Stars light novels, even protagonizing a few of them. A mysterious figure, Meta Knight's a swordsman known all through the universe for his remarkable, heroic achievements and skill. He's the liege of the Meta Knights, a group of soldiers with whom he travels the cosmos in his spaceship, the Halberd. Particularly, he occasionally spends time in Dream Land with Kirby and King Dedede when cincumstances allow it so, finding the 2 to be annoying and dismissing them otherwise, yet still enjoying their company. While good and honorable, this version of Meta Knight is more morally neutral in several aspects, and it could even be interpreted that he doesn't feel "free" following and limiting himself to his own set of ethics.
