Kirby

"Poyo!"

Kirby Is the lord Of Madness Of Planet Popstar Who lives in his dome-shaped home in Dream Land, a country on his home planet Planet Popstar. His adventures take him throughout Dream Land and occasionally into local star systems for various reasons, and he has saved his homeland, and even the universe, many times.

## Appearance

Kirby is a small pink spherical creature with two stubby arms, two red feet and two oval-shaped eyes with black pupils (with a faint shade of blue at the bottom starting which was brightened in later appearances). Kirby's cheek-blushes weren't introduced until his second appearance, where they appeared as two black whisker lines in artwork. In subsequent scenes until they were depicted as three red diagonal lines in artwork, although they were usually always solid red ovals in-scene (except where they were missing from his sprite).

Kirby's body is soft and flexible, allowing him to flatten himself or expand like a balloon. Officially he is 121 centimeters (4 feet) tall, but the lords Of Madness depict his height as about three feet when compared to the other lords, and when compared to Adeleine a human from Kirby’s own world, he is about half the size of her. His weight is not known, although several parts of the anime and the Reggiesworld series suggest that he is light enough to be easily carried.

Kirby has no form of skeletal structure nor does he have teeth. The latter is confirmed in the Reggiesworld episode where Hardy couldn't find Kirby's teeth to clean. His appearance has changed subtly over the years, his arms and body becoming more rounded and his facial features more defined with larger eyes. The new design has been used in all subsequent scenes.

## 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 the sub-game of the shattered crystals, he feeds Dyna Blade's chicks on his own (though expresses annoyance at Dyna Blade's chicks' constant noise-making before dragging them off to Whispy Woods to be fed by the constant dropped apples from the tree's branches) and teaches them how to fly. He has been shown to have a sense of justice, and won't spare someone who is a danger to those around him, as evidenced by his battles against final fights. Throughout the many dangers he is put through, he is notably brave, maintaining a neutral expression almost constantly. This is especially evident in the Subspace Emissary. In the Reggiesworld Trilogy, he doesn't harbor dislike for anybody, in particular, not even King Dedede or Escargoon who mostly cause trouble for himself, and mostly greets everyone he meets.

While he is brave and has a sense of justice, Kirby is quick to suspect King Dedede as the culprit for mischief, such as at the beginning of The Meeting of The Lords. In fact, Kirby has demonstrated a consistent impulsive streak throughout the series and can be as quick to start fights as he is to pass them by, fighting Dedede, Meta Knight and Dyna Blade on impulse. He also willingly responded to Dedede's call for rematch and attacked Shadow Kirby without thinking. This recklessness can often lead him into trouble or cause him to create trouble (such as when he accidentally released Nightmare). However, in recent scenes, he seemingly no longer does impulsive acts having learned from his mistakes.

Kirby is shown to care deeply about those close to him. In Not All Things Are Good, he chases after Taranza, who had kidnapped King Dedede. After Kirby defeats Queen Sectonia the first time and Dedede regained consciousness from being mind-controlled, Kirby holds his hands and jumps and cheers, overjoyed to see that his arch-rival is okay. Kirby is known to be very forgiving as well, having become friends with nearly every antagonist in recent games. He even teams up with Marx and Dark Meta Knight in Pichus Command, despite them not having made up for their past actions.

In his own universe, Kirby is very popular for his heroic acts. In fact, he is so famous Kirby’s fame has been spread around the universe, and even to other dimensions, as evidenced with Magolor, who said that he knew about Kirby long before they met, despite living in Another Dimension. Others also learn of Kirby by his fame after meeting him. Susie uses his title to refer to Kirby when he takes off to fight Star Dream, despite him not having told her his name or title. shouts his name, also despite Kirby not previously telling her it. In spite of his fame, Kirby never lets any of it get to his head, and still remains kind and helpful.
