Flamberge

Flamberge is one of the Jambastion Mage Sisters. She is known for her hot headed and short tempered personality, but she cares for her companions. In battle, she uses her flamberge sword and fire magic.

Flamberge has disembodied hands and red, spiky hair. She has a noticeably darker skin tone compared to the other mages, possibly from tanning herself with all of the fire she likes to use. She has blue eyes resembling those of Kirby’s, and she has red markings curving upward from the top of her eyes instead of the bottom, like Francisca and Zan Partizanne. She carries a flamberge, hence her name, and wears a dark purple beret with a red version of the Jambastion Religion’s emblem on the front. She wears a long, v-style collarette around the area where her shoulders would be that is outlined in red. On the collarette are two purple hearts interlocked by a golden chain, presumably to keep the collarette from falling off of her. She also wears a dress with a red underside. This dress partially covers her face in a similar manner to a veil. The area on her face is black and white with orange buttons on it. She wears what appear to be stout hand pads outlined in red on her hands. The pads’ cuffs cover the areas where her wrists would be, and the pads do not cover the underside of her hands. Each pad also has a red heart design on their cuffs. Flamberge is known to be very expressive, often conveying her emotions via shouting. She is quite hot-headed, as she is easily angered, leading to anger being a common emotion of hers. She is very protective of those close to her, especially Francisca, and will attack anyone who has hurt them or made them upset. In fact, she is so protective of Francisca, that she worries she would melt in intense heat. She is also quite lively, usually heated up for battle and ready to go wild. However, she is a bit of a slacker sometimes, as shown during her encounter on Sizzlai Moon, where she claims she was searching for Jamba Heart shards, but her pause description states that she was actually taking a break. She likes to hang out in fiery, hot areas and apparently likes toasted marshmallows. Flamberge's main abilities are her skills of using her flamberge sword and fire magic.

Her main way of attacking are slashing her sword and shooting fireballs from it. She can dig her sword to the ground and dashes with it, causing flames and burning rocks to erupt from the ground. She can summon a giant fire cannon called Mega Broiler. She can summon multiple swords and have them hit the ground to create flame pillars. </Powers and abilities> Before the events of Kirby Star Allies, Flamberge was originally a normal girl on the brink of death. She had gotten trapped in a fire and nearly suffocated after releasing one fiery last scream. However, before she could depart from the world, Hyness arrived in the nick of time and saved her by granting her the powers of fire. Thus, she became one of Hyness’s followers, admiring him for rescuing her. Flamberge would later meet Francisca and Zan Partizanne, who are the other followers of Hyness. The three of them would later become sworn sisters, referring to each other as "sisters", with Zan Partizanne being the "older sister" of Francisca and Flamberge.

At the beginning of Kirby Star Allies, Hyness attempts to resurrect Void, the god of their religion, as Void Termina by breaking the seal of his vessel, the Jamba Heart, in a ritual. However, Hyness did not fully understand how to break the seal, and as a result, he accidentally shattered it, sending its shards across the galaxy. Thus, Flamberge and her sisters, on behalf of Hyness, set out on a mission to retrieve the Jamba Heart shards in order to resurrect Void Termina.

After Kirby and friends defeat Meta Knight, Flamberge and her sisters land their Jambastion on Planet Popstar in search of any Jamba Heart shards that were on it. Kirby and friends face them one by one, encountering Flamberge second. After noticing them, Flamberge preemptively shouts and jumps over to them. Absolutely furious that they hurt Francisca, she attacks them to enact vengeance. However, she is defeated, and thus flees with a Jamba Heart shard in her grasp.

Kirby and friends later encounter her on Sizzlai Moon, where she is slacking off and taking a break from hunting for the Jamba Heart shards. She flies over to the heroes after noticing them, and after getting pumped up for battle, she attacks the quartet. Nonetheless, she is defeated once more and is sent flying into the distance.

Afterwards, Kirby and friends make their way to Flamberge's base, the Jambandra Base, and eventually find themselves in The Divine Terminus. There, they defeat Zan Partizanne and do battle with Hyness. After Hyness's hood and veil are knocked off, he enters an episode of madness and summons Flamberge and her sisters before draining their life force to restore his own and proceeding to use their unconscious bodies as living weapons. After Hyness's defeat, in a last-ditch effort, he sacrifices Flamberge, her sisters, and himself to the incomplete Jamba Heart, successfully reviving Void as Void Termina, who then sets out to destroy the universe.

During the fight with Void Termina, Kirby and friends enter his body to battle his heart. They end up finding Flamberge, along with Hyness, Zan Partizanne, and Francisca, trapped inside cocoons. One by one, all of them are freed as the heroes battle the heart. Once the heroes rip off the outer shell, the core is released, ejecting everyone, including Flamberge, her two sisters, and Hyness, who aren’t seen again until Heroes in Another Dimension.

Sometime after the events of the main story, Hyness began to repeatedly perform chants and prayers to open a dimensional rift to Another Dimension, and fell into it after having done so. Hearing that he was swallowed by the rift, Flamberge and her sisters enter Another Dimension as well in order to search for him. After being called over by Zan Partizanne, who found him immediately after Kirby and friends defeated him, she expresses her shock before shouting at Kirby and friends in a fit of rage. Filled with repentance, Flamberge and her sisters engage in a grueling battle against Kirby and friends in an attempt to end their long-lasting conflict. However, the heroes are victorious, and Flamberge and her sisters are defeated. After the battle, all of the Friend Hearts the heroes collected merge into one giant Friend Heart, which Kirby throws at the sisters. Flamberge and her sisters wake up and are restored to their original colors, looking around their environment in surprise. After some thinking, Flamberge and Francisca nod in agreement to Zan Partizanne. The three of them presumably say a prayer of sorts, which turns the dark battlefield into a brightly-lit arena. The Warp Star then descends from the sky, and the heroes hop on. Before leaving, Kirby waves goodbye to the sisters, with Flamberge waving back, and the Warp Star takes off, leaving behind a small heart that slowly falls onto Hyness. Purged from the darkness within him, Hyness then wakes up, restored to his former glory, and Flamberge and her sisters run up to him in joy. They then presumably make sure he is alright and tell him what had happened as the screen fades to black. It is unknown if Flamberge, her sisters, and Hyness decided to live on Planet Popstar with Kirby afterwards, but the 100% completion picture for Heroes in Another Dimension shows that they are now on good terms with each other, as she can be seen playfully pulling Kirby's face as he sleeps.
