## Appearance

Queen Jampiston has disembodied hands and has very long, fluffy, light pink hair on the back of her head. She has no nose, and her eyes are yellow, and wears a white hood. She wears a white fluff on her neck. The fluff connects to a purple cape with the Jambastion logo on it. She also wears a dark purple dress. The dress partially covers her face in a similar manner to a veil, the area on her face is black and white with orange buttons on it, as well as a Jambastion logo on it. She wears what appears to be stout hand pads outlined in purple on his her. The pads’ cuffs cover the areas where her wrists would be, and the pads do not cover the underside of his hands. Each pad also has a purple heart design on their cuffs.

When her hood is knocked off, Jampiston resembles the sisters, but has blue eyes similar to Kirby, as well as a mini yellow crown on her head, as well as shiny, pink wavy hair on her head.

In Kirby’s Return to Dreamland, Back when Jampiston was a princess, she retained her markings and hair, but her gloves changed to blue and yellow, her logo is yellow and white and she wears a blue shirt.

In Kirby: Samarian Attack, she retains her outfit from KSA, except with the addition of a orange flat seat that she strapped on her back, allowing Kirby to hop onto her back.

## Personality

Jampiston is very polite, apologizing for always forgetting Zan Partizanne’s name. She is incredibly intelligent, as she is stated to be a genius among her people, which made her the queen of the religion. She is noble and very charismatic as well.

## History

Before the events of *Kirby Star Allies* occurred, Jampiston was originally a Halcandran mercenary from Jambandra traveling with Magolor throughout various places. During the travels, Magolor’s ships encountered Landia, knocking the ship down, and making Jampiston unconscious. After she left the Starcutter buisness, She employed a high rank, Hyness, to check for new mages after the deaths of Hugo, Zacynthus and Eutropius. Later, Jampiston got a report that Hyness had encountered Eleven individuals, each of whom were on the brink of death. Examples he gave are when He found Bailey being crushed, He found Austin Jr being electrocuted, He found Francisca nearly freezing to death in a snowstorm, he found Flamberge nearly suffocating in a fire, and he found Zan Partizanne drawing her last breaths after being struck by lightning while desperately climbing a tower after she lost everything. Fortunately, Jampiston said that Hyness saved them from departing the world by granting them elemental powers. Thus, they became Jampiston’s followers, admiring Hyness for rescuing them.

## Kirby Star Allies (2018)

At the start of *Kirby Star Allies*, Queen Jampiston, along with her Hynesses proceeded to attempt to resurrect Romulus. However, A Hyness, Lentulus, did not fully understand how to break the seal, Lentulus made the ritual went wrong, causing the Jamba Heart to shatter and spread its negative influence across the galaxy. The Three Mage-Sisters chase after the fragments while Hyness stays behind, continuing the ritual in her absence.

When the heroes confront Jampiston around the Stage “The Queens Majesty”, Jampiston declares that they are probably invaders and draws her weapon to attack them. However, she is defeated, but before fleeing, pulls a emergency alarm and causes the Mages to come over and figure out what is going on. She then leaves the scene with a chaos, and the heroes prepare to face the mages.

By the time Kirby and his allies reach Jampiston again, She is summoning Jamba Hearts from across the galaxy to restore Romulus; however, she and Hyness both have not yet accrued enough power to revive the religion’s god. After Zan Partizanne fails to stop the heroes, Jampiston, shocked with the battling the ship had in the past, bats her unconscious body aside and confronts them personally, trying to tell them it is too dangerous, describing their past events before engaging in battle. During the battle, she and her Hynesses start to attack, before Jampiston decides to watch from above, At one point, Hyness's hood and veil are knocked off, and he completely loses his grip on reality, summoning fellow Hyness Tiberius to him and draining his life force to restore his own before using his unconscious body as weapons in the continued brawl. However, Kirby and the Star Allies triumph, and send Hyness flying onto the ground, knocking Jampiston and making her fall face first into the ground. As she slowly limps over to the altar, Jampiston realizes the only remaining option, and in a last-ditch effort, sacrifices the Mages and Hynesses to the Jamba Heart, before going unconscious. The negative energy gathered by them completes the Jamba Heart and allows Romulus to reincarnate into Romulus-EX, who then sets out to destroy the universe, forcing Kirby and his friends to pursue him in the Star Allies Sparkler.

During the battle with Romulus-EX’s successor Void Termina, Jampiston is seen trying to free her entire religions members, apparently, Hyness and the Mages were all seen trapped in cocoons near the monster's core. As Kirby and friends fight Void Termina's heart, all of them are released one by one. When the second phase is completed, the mages, Hyness and Jampiston are ejected out of Void Termina’s body. While the others aren’t seen again until Heroes in Another Dimension, Jampiston remains during the battle with Void Termina’s core, which ends with her being blasted away.

At some point after the fight against Void Termina, A Hyness, Stilicho, began to repeatedly perform chants and prayers to open a dimensional rift to Another Dimension, and ten Hynesses fell into it after having done so. In Another Dimension, the darkness in their hearts left their body and transformed into a Jamba Heart before absorbing him, completely corrupting him. The Jamba Heart is later encountered by Kirby and his friends. Using the Heart Spears they collected, they shatter the Jamba Heart and release Corrupt Hyness, who they then fight. Much like in his fight in story mode, Hyness’s hood and veil are knocked off and he flies into insanity. However, rather than summoning the Three Mage-Sisters, he summons three wood stumps with their outfits to use as weapons. Nonetheless, his efforts prove useless, as he is defeated. Afterwards, Kirby defeats Sextus, Syphax and Priscus. After Saturninus, a loyal Hyness, is taken out by Kirby, Zan Partizanne arrives and, bewildered by the current situation, calls over the other Mages and Jampiston after noticing the heroes. After Flamberge's expression of shock and anger and Francisca's lament of Saturninus, they then fight the heroes in a last attempt to end their long-lasting conflicts, but the Star Allies prove victorious. After the battle, Jampiston retreats, later, after the defeats of Burrhus and Antonius, Jampiston is encountered by Kirby, in which she tells Kirby that her warning wasn’t given at all, and she wanted combatoall of them, after Kirby defeats Jampiston, she ends up dropping all of the Friend Hearts. Kirby and the heroes collect all the hearts and come together to form a giant Friend Heart, which Kirby then throws at the mages. The mages then wake up with their original colors restored. After some thinking, they nod their heads in agreement and presumably say a prayer of sorts, turning the dark battlefield into a brightly-lit arena. The Warp Star then descends from the sky, and Kirby and friends hop on. Before leaving, Kirby waves goodbye to the mages and the Warp Star takes off, leaving behind a small heart that slowly floats onto Jampiston and Hyness purging the darkness within them, as Jampiston and Hyness then both wake up, restored to their former glories. The sisters run up to them in joy and presumably make sure they is alright and tell them what happened as the screen fades to black. It is unknown if Jampiston, the Hynesses and the Mages decided to live on Planet Popstar with Kirby, but the 100% completion picture for Heroes in Another Dimension shows that they are now on good terms with each other.

Jampiston is first fought in the Jambastion, serving as the 8th boss, suceeding Termina and preceeding Bailey. She later comes back Far-Flung - Starlight Heroes in The Divine Terminus just after Hyness, serving as the 51st and penultimate boss, with both boss titles being of **Queen of the Religion**.

## Later Appearances

Jampiston appeared in Kirby: Civil War Intact, as well as Kirby: Samarian Attack (2050).

Her role in Kirby: Samarian Attack is a mount for Kirby to use, since Kirby’s Warp Star was broken by Tirana. Kirby mostly uses her as a way to travel.
