Drawcia

“	This powerful sorceress once turned Kirby into a rolling pink ball and Dream Land into a world made of paint. Her name is awfully similar to that of Claycia's, but no one knows for sure if the two are related.	„
	~ Drawcia’s Figurine description in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Background

Drawcia is the main antagonist of Kirby: Canvas Curse. She is a powerful sorceress born out of a mysterious painting, wanting to rule a world made of paint and art. Being the original owner of the mighty Magical Paintbrush that turned Kirby into a ball and Dream Land into a piece of artwork, she is capable of creating shadow-like entities out of paintings and fire blasts of powerful dark magic. Her capability to bring things to life with paint is similar to the abilities of Adeleine, Paint Roller and Paintra; however, Drawcia has much more creative and magical power at her disposal than any of these characters, being able to create whole worlds and even full-fledged bosses (including Paint Roller himself) to impede Kirby in his attempt to undo her spell on Dream Land.

Like many final bosses in the series, Drawcia has two forms that Kirby must confront in battle. She is fought as both Drawcia Sorceress (the form she appears in during the opening cutscene) and Drawcia Soul.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Drawcia’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Kirby: Canvas Curse Throughout the game, Drawcia creates replicas of King Dedede, Kracko, and Paint Roller out of paintings, with the intention to hinder Kirby's progress. These paintings of them serve as bosses at the end of every level, each one being fought in a type of "Boss Sub-game." When Kirby first confronts Drawcia at the end of The World of Drawcia, she is in her witch-like sorceress form. While in this form, she fires magical blasts, draws huge spikes that pop out from beneath the ground, jumps into the air and quickly zooms towards Kirby, and summons smaller versions of herself called Para Sorceresses. She can paint enemies to life with her paintbrush, but none of them give Kirby a Copy Ability. Drawcia is permanently protected by a mirror-like shield, which makes her resilient to rushes and taps with the stylus. To defeat her in this form, Kirby must draw a Paint Shield and reflect one of the blasts back to her, which stuns her. Kirby must then continuously ram her (up to three times) while she is paralyzed. Repeating this forces her to enter her ghastly final form, Drawcia Soul. Drawcia's goal is ultimately left unfulfilled, as Kirby bests her at her own game by pursuing her all across the ruined land, ultimately destroying her using the Paintbrush's power and bringing peace to Dream Land once again. Kirby Super Star Ultra Drawcia appears on one of the cards in the Kirby Card Swipe sub-game. Kirby: Triple Deluxe: Drawcia appears as a rare keychain and in one of Stone Kirby's transformations alongside Dark Nebula. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Drawcia appears as a Figurine after obtaining gold medals on all stages. Kirby: Planet Robobot Drawcia appears as a rare sticker inside of a painting.

Equipment

• Magical Paintbrush: The Magical Paintbrush is a mighty artifact owned by the evil witch Drawcia. It is initially used as a weapon by her, but winds up helping Kirby after the opening cutscene. Its first and most significant appearance was in Kirby: Canvas Curse. The tremendous magical power of the Magical Paintbrush is revealed when Drawcia came to Dream Land one day. She used it to turn Dream Land and every inhabitant into a painting- except for Kirby, who had been taking a stroll. Kirby then realizes the evil that was done to the land and follows Drawcia through a vortex that leads to her realm. There he fought against Drawcia but he just could not keep up with the Power of the Paintbrush. The witch turned Kirby into a ball and retreated: However, Kirby managed to touch the Magical Paintbrush, causing it to transport to the player in a ray of light. From then on, the paintbrush assists Kirby on his quest to challenge Drawcia and undo the harm she inflicted upon Dream Land.

Other

Standard Tactics:

Drawcia instantly led with transforming the entire world into her painting, if one resists this her next act is to transmutate them, if they somehow can fight even while transmutated she will proceed creates replicas of King Dedede, Kracko, and Paint Roller out of paintings to hinder the person from getting to her, she will also force them to go through rooms where they must flee her deletion wave. Once confronting her, she fires magical blasts, draws huge spikes that pop out from beneath the ground, jumps into the air and quickly zooms towards the opponent, and summons smaller versions of herself called Para Sorceresses. She can paint enemies to life with her paintbrush. Drawcia is passively protected by a forcefield, once defeated, she will remain as just her soul.

Drawcia Soul's attacks are quite different from those of her living counterpart, relying more on brute force than potent magic. Drawcia's main attack in this phase is to summon several spherical creatures referred to as Para Matters. Drawcia Soul has a wide array of other attacks, such as warping around the screen, and raining paint blobs. The undead blob can also rush across the screen in the form of a meteor that covers much of the screen. Finally, Drawcia Soul will periodically warp to the center of the screen and open her core, sending many dazzling, rainbow-colored cutters flying out as she does so.

Weaknesses: If she is defeated her painting can be used to re-seal her. Reflecting her attack back at her will temporarily negate her forcefield and paralyze her.

Trivia

• Drawcia is the only boss to have any form of HP in Kirby: Canvas Curse.
• Drawcia is the first female final boss in a Kirby game, with the second being Queen Sectonia from Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
• While not sharing color themes, Drawcia and Yin-Yarn are alike in many respects. They are both magicians whose plans involve transforming Dream Land into the material of their choice (paint and yarn respectively), both have transformed Kirby into an entirely different form for the majority of the game, and they don similarly-shaped robes.
• The battle with Drawcia is altered if playing as a character other than Kirby. Some differences are that she summons five parachute bombs instead of three and that her health bar is purple instead of red.
• During the entire Drawcia battle, some of the warping effects used for the background are similar to the effects used during the final battle of the SNES game EarthBound, which was also created by HAL Laboratory.
  • Drawcia Soul's theme sounds somewhat like the final battle theme of EarthBound, both being erratic and metallic.
• Drawcia was the first final boss in the series to have a "Soul" version. This was then adopted by many final bosses following.
• One plot utilized image of Drawcia depicts herself closely resembling Dark Matter.

Vividria's concept art. Drawcia and Paintra are labeled as "姉様," seemingly confirming the two and Vividria to be siblings.

• Though not appearing in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, a similar individual based on Drawcia named Paintra appears as the boss of Lollipop Land. The pause description during the fight against Paintra implies that she is Drawcia's sister, and that the two were separated at birth. This was later seemingly confirmed in concept art for Vividria, their apparent younger sister, in the Kirby Star Allies Soundtrack art booklet. In it, Drawcia and Paintra are both labeled as "姉様" (ane-sama), meaning "older sister." Claycia is brought up as well, but she is referred to with the "-san" prefix, implying no relation between her and the other three.
• Concept artwork reveals that Drawcia went through several designs during the development of Kirby: Canvas Curse.
• In Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, the Beam Mage has armor based on Drawcia called Drawcian Garb, as well as a weapon called the Drawcian Magic Staff, based on the Magical Paintbrush.
• Drawcia was considered for being a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies, but the idea was scrapped.
• Drawcia's laugh comes from the sound called Mediumhigh Pitched CRT023301 from album Cartoon Trax.
