Kirby

**Kirby, Kirby, Kirby.** He's the name you should know, he's the star of the "Kirby: Right Back At Ya! DX" show!

Kirby is a Star Warrior who was sent across the galaxy from an unknown location, meant to sleep in his space ship for a certain number of years before awakening to confront whatever evil there is. However, as Kirby's space ship nears Popstar, it detects the food crisis caused by King Dedede and warps towards it. This wakes Kirby 200 years too early, and since he does not yet know how to control his space ship, it crash lands on Popstar, and Kirby is thrust into the midst of King Dedede and Escargoon's schemes.

## Appearance

Kirby is a small pink spherical creature with two stubby arms, two red feet and two oval-shaped eyes with black pupils and a faint shade of blue at the bottom. He has a star-shaped emblem on his left foot and a pink heart with a dark purple border with a bowl-shaped tail at the bottom and swirl-shaped wings. his right foot. However, those emblems aren't always visible due to Kirby stepping on them.

## Personality

Kirby is largely innocent and has a cheerful demeanor and positive attitude. He likes to help other people so much that he sometimes goes out of his way to do it; in fact, this is how he befriended Poppy Bros. Jr..

He also is a big glutton, as seen when he gobbles down nearly an entire sack filled with apples.

## Powers and abilities

Kirby is able to inhale many things, such as Whispy Woods's apples and Poppy Bros. Jr.'s bombs. After inhaling anything, Kirby has the option to either swallow it or spit it back out as a Star Spit attack. When swallowing certain items, Kirby gains new abilities; for example, when swallowing Poppy Bros. Jr.'s bombs, Kirby becomes able to summon bombs out of thin air, much like Poppy.

He can also combine the abilities he gains, such as when he gives a sword Meta Knight gave him an icy blade. This is actually how he learns new abilities; for example, he combined Fire and Stone to create Volcano Fire.

## Biography

Kirby first appears when his space ship crashes into Planet Popstar 200 years too early (according to Meta Knight). He was first encountered by Tiff and Tuff, and he unwittingly shattered Tiff's dreams of a legendary Star Warrior being a handsome knight.

Kirby then started wandering aimlessly into the plains called Green Greens, until he found a sad Poppy Bros. Jr.. Not wanting to see Poppy sad, Kirby went out of the way to find some food for Poppy's father, Poppy Bros. Sr. After giving Poppy Sr. some apples from Whispy Woods and an encounter with Meta Knight, Kirby found another sad person: Tiff and Tuff's father, Sir Ebrum. Again, since he didn't want to see Sir Ebrum sad, Kirby decided to head for Castle Lololo, where Tiff and Tuff were held hostage.

However, soon after reaching Castle Lololo, they figure out the situation was a misunderstanding: the castle's owner, Lololo, and his sister, Lalala, merely wanted to befriend Tiff and Tuff. The real culprit is Escargoon, who tried to fly away aboard Kabula. However, Kirby managed to catch up to and destroy Kabula, but not before a fight with Mr. Frosty.

Kirby then goes on through Bubbly Clouds. After a fight with Kracko, he finally succeeds into saving Tiff and Tuff. They quickly become friends, and Kirby helps them return to Castle Dedede. Once there, he learns that King Dedede was ordering monsters from a shady company. After facing two of them, Dedede took matters in his own hands, as a Waddle Dee with a bandana came to try and stop him and even managed to disarm Kirby before he fell, coming closer to beating Kirby than the monsters. Kirby then fought and sent Dedede flying out of his castle and returned the food he stole.

The next few days, Cappy Town tried to find Kirby a home. They failed, mostly because Kirby put himself in Tokkori's bad books, and everytime Cappy Town citizens tried something, Tokkori came around and ruined it. Tokkori even summoned a monster named Blocky just to get rid of Kirby. And Tokkori's motive? That Kirby is nice. Ultimately and ironically, it was King Dedede who found him a home, as he convinced the nicest inhabitant of Dream Land, Fecto Elfilin, to share his home with Kirby (not that Elfilin needed much convincing; he loves sharing).

After a duel with Meta Knight and one with Bugzzy, Kirby met Gooey, Coo and Rick while he was going stargazing. He shortly afterwards meets Ribbon, who was running away from Ansem. Kirby offers Ribbon his bed, while he sleeps on the roof. The next day, Kirby and his friends encounter Dark Matter, but they're saved from it by Burning Leo. They then encounter a possessed Bandana Waddle Dee and a possessed Adeleine. They free them from Dark Matter, and the two join Kirby's gang. The gang then has a run with Whispy Woods, but once the misunderstanding is cleared, Whispy foiled the NME salesman, not before a duel with Dakumanako, a Dark Matter general.

## Trivia

* According to The Merger Magikoopa, the emblems on Kirby's feet are both symbolic.
	+ The star-shaped emblem represents Kirby's status as a Star Warrior.
		- According to Merger, this should be obvious.
	+ Originally, the heart-shaped emblem was black, wingless, with a fleur-de-lis at the bottom and crossed with a spiky X. However, he decided to change it.
* It's implied he can swallow people as well: when Poppy Bros. Jr. recoiled in disgust at Mr. Frosty swallowing Lololo and Lalala, Kirby chuckled nervously. He also has the ability in canon.
* According to The Merger Magikoopa, Kirby and Gooey are apparently distant cousins of sorts.
