Adeleine & Ribbon

“	I’m Adeleine. While I was practicing painting as usual, I got attacked by this black cloud with one eye. Good thing li'l Kirb was there to save me. Alright everybody, let’s get going! We gotta teach those evildoers a lesson! By the way, the pictures I paint turn real.	„

Background

Adeleine (“Ado” as a nickname) is a character in the Kirby series, making her official debut in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. She came to Planet Popstar to study art. She is a talented young artist that can paint pictures that come to life.

Adeleine appears as the boss of Cloudy Park. During the battle, Ado stands safely behind her large, cloud-constructed canvas and paints enemies to attack Kirby. After Kirby defeats one of her drawings, she will get mad and make another. Her paintings are all bosses appearing in Kirby's Dream Land 2. They include Ice Dragon, Sweet Stuff, Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright, and Kracko respectively, none of which spawn enemies/obstacles that grant abilities. After Kirby defeats them all, Ado, now in a fit of rage, steps down from her canvas and attempts to attack Kirby by running around and flailing her brush back and forth. Once Kirby lands a single attack on her, Ado rolls off-screen, thus signifying Kirby's victory.

Adeleine appears in the second stage of the first world, Pop Star. She is simply painting a picture when a Crystal Shard falls next to her. She turns and picks it up, when Dark Matter materializes on her easel and possesses her. Kirby, Ribbon, and Waddle Dee then arrive to find her possessed, and are forced to battle her. In this battle, Adeleine paints N-Z, Bronto Burt, Mariel, Mumbies, and a mass of jumbled pixels. After all of the enemies are defeated, Adeleine paints two stronger enemies; a drawing of Ice Dragon and a drawing of Dark Matter. After the Dark Matter drawing is defeated, Adeleine, now furious, jumps off of the stump and starts rapidly swiping her brush while charging at Kirby. She can be defeated in one hit.

Throughout various levels of the game, Adeleine will appear and paint items for Kirby. If Kirby enters the area Adeleine is in with full life, she paints a 1UP, otherwise she paints a Maxim Tomato. She may also paint pictures to help Kirby solve puzzles so he can obtain a shard.

Adeleine appears in Kirby Star Allies as one of the Dream Friends that came in the second update. She is paired up with Ribbon as a single Dream Friend in a similar manner to Rick & Kine & Coo. Adeleine can create paintings of past enemies and bosses and has a few moves from her boss fight.

Creating giant monsters that she can freely ride around with and fight. In Star Allies she hones her painting skills further)

Standard Tactics: Adeleine creates various paintings and hides behind them pre-star allies, but after learning more painting skills she physically attacks with her brush and receives help from Ribbon.

Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

Key: Pre-Star Allies | Post-Star Allies

Note: Despite some abilities coming from Post-Star Allies there is no true reason why Ribbon cannot have them for Pre-Star allies as they’re natural innate abilities not gained from a special item or from a helper.

Note 2: Despite there being some implications that Ado and Adeleine are different people it is accepted here that they are the same character. Due to them having very similar appearances, the very same abilities, and using the same enemies in their boss fight it is far safer to assume they are the same character then otherwise.
