Luma

Luma in Kirby: Triple Deluxe

**Luma** is a character who first appeared in *Kirby’s Return to Dreamland*. She is a Puffball who has gone from being an insignificant, minor character in her first appearances to being a Major character who has appeared in almost every *Kirby* game to date since *Kirby Triple Deluxe.*

## Appearance

Luma is a Light Pink Puffball with a blush reminiscent of Servilianus, she has purple feet, a mouth shaped like a w, and she has eyelashes sticking out of her eyes. Her prominent feature is a white cape-like hat that extends down her back, with the top reading “L”.

In her other form, Luma becomes a giant version, but her colour changes to black, the cape on her hat becomes two wings, and she has a scowl on her face.

## Personality

In *Kirby's Return to Dream Land*, no strong evidence of Luma’s true intentions are shown until Kirby and the others reach Halcandra. Luma is a very passionate and upbeat speaker who acts very politely, giving Kirby encouragement whenever the player visits her or Magolor in the Lor Starcutter. She also appears to be extremely friendly, and tells Kirby that she loves Popstar so much she doesn't want to leave it (interestingly, the latter is true). Once Kirby gets the Master Crown, however, Luma completely breaks cover and turns into a shy girl whose only goal is to conquer the universe. Magolor had no remorse using Luma’s Ship (that Kirby just rebuilt for him) against Kirby and Landia, nor for shooting them down after the Lor is defeated. It is implied that her lonely actions are due to the Magolor having the Master Crown's dark influence.

In *Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition*, Luma remembers what Kirby did to Magolor. Rather than taking an evil recourse like him, she builds Kirby a theme park to make up for Magolor’s past actions. In all appearances since, Luma is shown to primarily do good deeds for others, such as building an amusement park for King Dedede in *Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe* or running the Shoppe to help Team Kirby in *Team Kirby Clash Deluxe*. She still enjoys causing minor mischief, such as when she appears as a stage hazard, attacks Kirby during the Magolor Race to take the lead or obstructs the player's view with a blindfold banner. Luma also appears to have an ego; he laughs at Kirby when he wins a race, praises himself for his good deeds, and declares Sunday to be "Luma Day."

In *Team Kirby Clash Deluxe*, Luma is shown to have a dark sense of humor; he acts like she's turning to evil roots if Kirby performs certain actions, but only to get a reaction out of Kirby (and the player).

In *Kirby Star Allies*, her pause screen and Guest Star descriptions in English state that she is charming and that she is fearless. The Japanese version instead described her as "boldly scary."

## Games

Luma appears as a ally to Kirby, helping him along the way, she helps defeat Magolor.

Luma appears as the 43rd Dream Friend, being added on Wave 10, along with Mike and Paul.

## Trivia

* After 120 Energy Spheres are collected, Luma explains the details of how Magolor acquired his ship. However, speaking to her a second time will have her tell Kirby that she has heard of him much before their fateful encounter. In the Extra Mode, she goes into more details with both, loosely recalling the events of Milky Way Wishes—and stating that there is someone that she knows in particular who knew Kirby and Magolor fairly well. This person is speculated to possibly be Komarov, Marx, or someone else entirely.
