Adeleine

**Adeleine** also known as **Ado** is a character in the *Kirby* series, appearing in *Kirby's Dream Land 3* and *Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards* as one of Kirby's friends. She is a gifted young artist with ability to make pictures she paints come to life.

## Appearance and Personality

Adeleine is portrayed as a young girl with short black hair and black eyes, wearing a long-sleeve, bright green (which is shown as teal in official art) collared smock with a single yellow button near the top. She also wears a very short gray skirt, blue knee-high socks and large brown shoes with yellow laces. She also wears a bright red beret that covers most of her hair, and official art seen in the credits portrays her with a light brown hairclip in her hair. She is almost always seen with her blue brush with multi-colored paint on the tip, her dark brown paint palette with red, blue and yellow paint and her large easel. She always appears to be blushing, although this may just be due to the fact that almost all characters have cheeks like this. In sub-games she can wear a lavender smock with a violet beret, a beige smock with a chestnut beret, or a cyan smock with a yellow beret, in addition to her plain green and red outfit. She is quite unique in being one of the only humans to actually live in Dream Land and make an appearance in the series. She has since not appeared in any other Kirby games.

Not much is known about Adeleine's personality. What is known is that she is very artistic and creative due to the fact that she is almost always seen with her art equipment and that she can create various works of art in less than five seconds. Adeleine also has some resourcefulness to her, as she can quickly use her painting abilities in a variety of useful ways, such as painting hints and food for Kirby. She appears to be somewhat hesitant to join Kirby and the gang initially, but eventually begins to warm up to them as seen in the cutscenes. Like Kirby, she appears to be a cheerful soul, as she is noticeably happy most of the time.

With her ability to make art comes to life, she can fool her enemies into thinking it's real and thus could be use for disguising someone or to make things appeared.

## Trivia

* A pre-release screenshot of *Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards* shows that Adeleine was playable at one point in development.
* In *Kirby: Triple Deluxe*, Adeleine's battle theme can be heard from Copy Ability selection screen in the Kirby Fighters sub-game.
* In the game *Kirby Fighters Deluxe*, her theme is remixed on the Copy Ability selection screen.
* She makes a cameo as a sticker in *Kirby: Planet Robobot*.
* Adeleine used to be the mascot of the "Galería CN" (CN Gallery) section of the 1991 Mexican Club Nintendo magazine. The section was incorporated late in 2000 and was then named "Galerie d' Adeleine" (Adeleine's Gallery). Subscribers of the magazine could send their own drawings and paintings to the editors with a select few being featured in one issue of the magazine. The gallery's name has since been changed to its current name and removed Adeleine from the section.
* On February 13, 2017, Adeleine appeared in artwork on the official Kirby 25th anniversary Twitter account, alongside several other prominent female characters in the series. This marks the first time she has made an official appearance in *Kirby* media since *Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.*Since then, she's made multiple appearances in the account's tweets, and a tweet commemorating its 100,000 followers states that she's the one illustrating the account's artwork.
* The Artist ability, introduced in *Kirby Star Allies*, is based on Adeleine. Kirby wears a red beret that looks similar to Adeleine's, and one of his moves has Kirby paint characters on an easel to aid him, similar to Adeleine's actions during her boss fights.
	+ Kirby also uses his paintbrush to swipe at enemies, which is similar to a beta screenshot of *Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards* showing Adeleine attacking a Mariel in a similar manner.
