Adeleine

**Adeleine** is a main supporting protagonist in *Kirby: Right Back At Ya! DX*.

## Appearance

Adeleine is a young girl wearing a green, collared smock, a gray skirt, and a red beret covering some of her dark hair. Unlike the rest of the cast, she has legs, due to her being a bona fide human.

## Personality

Adeleine is very artistic and creative. She is always has with her art equipment, with which she can quickly create various works of art.

Like Kirby, she appears to be a cheerful and kind soul, and is noticeably happy most of the time. She eagerly joins Kirby and the gang after being freed from Rimura's control.

## Biography

She first appeared as an illusion in Kirby, Ribbon, Tiff and Dedede's collective dream. She's also unnamed in that illusion.

The next day, the real Adeleine tried to make a painting featuring two witch sisters, only for Rimura to ruin it. She ended up possessed shortly afterward, but was freed by Kirby and his friends. Adeleine then joins Kirby's group and reveals her name.

## Trivia

* Upon encountering the illusion of her, Ribbon states that Adeleine reminds her of Ansem a little bit. While this is because Ansem resembles a human, Adeleine and Ansem are nothing alike; while Ansem is cruel and ruthless, Adeleine is kind and selfless. They don't even look alike; Ansem is male, has white hair, tan skin and yellow eyes, while Adeleine is female, has black hair, white skin and violet eyes. Ansem is not even human.
	+ Though Adeleine will get a Dark Mode in the Necrodeus Saga, which vaguely resembles Ansem (Adeleine's skin will turn tan, her hair will turn white, and her eyes will turn golden). Knowing people would start calling this mode "Adonort", Merger stopped them dead in the tracks, stating that Adeleine's Dark Mode activates when she gets extremely furious, like when someone kills the Kirbies too fast for her to save them.
* After the Dark Matter Saga, Adeleine will move to Castle Dedede.
* In canon, there's a character very similar to Adeleine named Ado. It's unknown whether Adeleine and Ado are related, let alone if they're the same person. Here, "Ado" is a nickname given to Adeleine by Dedede, who is the closest person to Adeleine not counting Kirby or Ribbon.
* Adeleine will have a much bigger role in the spinoff-based arcs.
	+ In the Drawcia Saga, Yin-Yarn Saga, and Claycia Saga, it's because the antagonists of those arcs (Drawcia, Yin-Yarn, Claycia and Dark Crafter) are art-themed.
		- However, in the Drawcia Saga there's also the fact Adeleine created Drawcia, meaning Adeleine created her own villain (even if outside of her control; the painting containing Drawcia was ruined by Rimura), and now she has to suffer the consequences.
	+ In the Necrodeus Saga, Kirby's heart will take refuge into Adeleine once Necrodeus splits Kirby in ten and kill nine of the Kirbies. Once this happens, Adeleine will have to protect the Kirbies from the world, which gotten more hostile due to Necrodeus's presence, while the Squeak Squad will look for a way to put Kirby back together.
		- When asked if he got this idea after watching *Kirby Guardian*, a web series featuring a grown-up Adeleine taking care of ten small Kirbies, Merger said he doesn't know if the idea really is a shout-out to *Kirby Guardian* or not, but if it is, then KimiOmega, the person who created the *Kirby Guardian* series, should feel honored.
