Kirby | Welcome to Dream Land!

Kirby is among the smaller and simpler Nintendo characters, as a pink ball standing only 8 inches (20 cm) tall with stubby arms and feet. Kirby's mouth is very important as well — it looks small, but it can open wide to inhale many objects. Kirby's cheeks feature slight pink blushes, and his eyes are long dark ovals featuring white glare and blue irises. Kirby's body is soft and flexible, allowing him to flatten himself or expand like a balloon. Kirby has no form of skeletal structure nor does he have teeth, however, he does have a tongue. His weight is unknown, but he's presumably extremely light as he can be picked up effortlessly. Kirby appears to require regular nourishment, and typically finds it in the form of various food items scattered across the land. When not in a hurry, Kirby will eat in a normal manner, but can inhale the food as well. Although Kirby does not have fingers, he is perfectly capable of holding onto things he's grabbed. It depends on the portrayal whether Kirby can talk in full words, but he is always very vocal. Kirby's voice is high-pitched, with inflections similar to someone first learning how to speak. It should be noted that this is a more unique quality to Kirby himself. Kirby does not speak in full sentences in any of the main-series games and resorts to grunts, shouts, and monosyllables, though he can learn to speak EXTREMELY basic words, albeit far from perfectly. Kirby's innocent nature is reflected in his personality. Kirby has been shown to be gluttonous, which makes his rivalry with King Dedede more understandable, but as long as he is well-fed, he is an altruistic hero who jumps at the chance to help those in need. Kirby is courageous, tackling problems head-on with an unbreakable determination. He is heroic to a fault, however, as certain villains will take advantage of this to get what they want. Unless called to adventure, Kirby spends most of his time sleeping and otherwise just relaxing in his homeland, Dream Land. Despite being the hero, Kirby can become extraordinarily stubborn and single-minded if he feels he's been wronged. Kirby's hobbies include fishing (which usually ends up with the hook in his mouth), sleeping (spending as much as half the day napping), eating, flying about the countryside on a Warp Star, and singing, which he admittedly does so poorly that it can hurt enemies. It's implied Kirby that might be tone-deaf. In spite of this, he is a big fan of music, and can often be seen enjoying music with a pair of headphones on. When encountering new situations, Kirby shows himself to be a quick and astute learner. For example, upon copying a new ability, he instantly masters any skill the ability entails, whether that be martial arts or psychic powers. He also demonstrates this with technology, being able to adapt quickly to whatever is put infront of him. In summary, Kirby is a very sweet individual, kind and cute, but is willing to get serious when the time comes for it. Kirby's gender is unknown, but he goes by he/him pronouns. In terms of his character, Kirby can be described as a naïve, cheery, and innocent alien creature who made his home in Dream Land after arriving from elsewhere, with his true origin being unknown. Kirby generally has a carefree attitude and enjoys simple pleasures such as eating, playing with his friends, and sleeping. Kirby is typically called to adventure when some calamity befalls his home-world of Popstar, or if someone else calls for his aid. Often times, these adventures take him to far-flung locations on his home-world, to distant alien planets, or even to alternate dimensions. Despite whatever challenges or setbacks Kirby may face while adventuring, he never fails to maintain an overall positive attitude, and this attitude often is instrumental in turning former foes into friends.

Dream Land is a kingdom on Planet Popstar in which Kirby lives, which is typically defined by its rolling green grasslands and forests, tropical beach locales, brown stone caves, cloud-based topography, and a few castle-like structures, most notably Castle Dedede. It has been targeted by several wrongdoers, which Kirby and others are tasked with stopping. The kingdom gets its name from the peaceful sleep its residents receive, granted by the Fountain of Dreams which spreads restful dreams across the land. Dream Land can be described as a particular region of Planet Popstar over which King Dedede claims sovereignty, sometimes said to be a small country or kingdom. However, it is not known exactly where the kingdom ends and the rest of Popstar begins. Despite this, it is generally understood that the topography of Dream Land consists mainly of lush meadows, forests and old castles. Kirby's House occupies one of the meadows, while Whispy Woods resides in the forest, and King Dedede makes his home in his castle atop Mt. Dedede. In addition, many cloudscapes persist above Dream Land. The land is so defined by its ordinary state of peace and quiet that any event which disrupts the status quo has the same effect on the locals — whether that be an invasion from another world or merely being unable to dream at night. Meta Knight is also commonly seen in Dream Land, though it is not entirely clear if his base of operations — the Halberd — is docked there or not. Lastly, Dream Land is home to countless numbers of Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos, and others who have varying degrees of loyalty to King Dedede.

King Dedede is a portly, blue, penguin-like creature who wields a hammer and proclaims himself king of Dream Land. He is a recurring character who serves as Kirby's "arch frenemy". He often engages in trouble-making, such as stealing all of Dream Land's food. However, over time he began to perform more noble deeds. Because of this, he is considered a protagonist, despite his greediness and egotism. King Dedede lives in a castle atop a mountain with a retinue of Waddle Dees acting as his servants. King Dedede is a birdlike creature who greatly resembles a penguin, although his exact species is unclear. He has a large and round belly, blue eyes, a yellow beaklike mouth and yellow feet which resemble Kirby's. He wears a kingly red coat with white trim and a red tuque with a golden crown-like ridge. The coat's back bears his signature V-sign emblem, and he's usually seen wearing yellow gloves. King Dedede, like Kirby, can inhale and hover by expanding his belly, and usually wields a hammer. King Dedede is often portrayed as egocentric, stubborn, and also gluttonous. This is evidenced by his self-proclaimed status as the King of Dream Land, and how he selfishly stole all of the food in Dream Land in the past. He also views Kirby as his rival, and often competes against him to prove his superiority. However, he is not evil. Over time, his selfish tendencies have faded away, and he has been portrayed and described as a heroic and dependable leader who is willing to protect Dream Land from outside threats. He speaks

Meta Knight is a masked, winged swordsman who is presumably (though not confirmedly) the same species at Kirby. He is a mysterious figure, and his backstory is not clearly shown in the game series. Though most of his schemes originate from arguably good intentions, the ways he tries to accomplish his goals are often very extreme and poorly understood by others. Meta Knight is also the leader of a band of warriors known simply as the Meta-Knights, and he owns a giant warship designed after himself, known as the Halberd. Meta Knight wields a golden sword called Galaxia, which is a powerful mythical blade. He's best described as an anti-hero, as he doesn't constantly cause trouble and usually does good on several occasions. Meta Knight is what can be described as a passionate swordsman, and a well-intended extremist. He features a quite combative personality and is constantly striving to be the best sword fighter in Dream Land. Meta Knight is very well known for following a stern warrior code; when he challenges someone, he is usually looking for a fair and equal match. Whenever Kirby has to fight him for different reasons depending on the situation, he provides Kirby with a sword and insists that he use it to make the battle fair. He speaks with a spanish accent, and whenever he appears, an inexplicable Spanish guitar flourish plays.

Waddle Dees are a species of very peaceful creatures that are a common sight in Dream Land, in the wider Popstar region, and on many other planets. Named for their waddling gait, Waddle Dees are about the same size as Kirby, and have a slightly pear-shaped body with orange-red skin, fingerless stubs for arms, and two feet which are typically yellow, but may also be tan or a light orange. Their faces are tan in color and consist of two dark brown eyes, two cheek blushes, and no mouth or nose (though Waddle Dees are known to speak and eat despite lacking mouths). While most Waddle Dees are orange or red, there also are green, yellow, blue, or golden Waddle Dees to be found. Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively. Instead, they usually just waddle around in areas and leap in the air occasionally, neither paying attention to, nor actively attacking Kirby. Many, but not all Waddle Dees seem to have affiliated themselves with King Dedede, and those that have usually show a great amount of respect and loyalty towards their leader, even if they sometimes acknowledge his character flaws. King Dedede often employs them as servants, soldiers, and guards, giving the latter of these spears to use to varying degrees of effectiveness. Among the most loyal of these is Bandana Waddle Dee, named after his blue bandana, who also happens to be friends with Kirby.

Bandana Waddle Dee is, as his name implies, a Waddle Dee wearing a blue bandana on his head. His weapon of choice is usually a spear, though he sometimes also wields a parasol. Originally shown to be King Dedede's most loyal subject, he's also Kirby's closest friend, and he sometimes even assists Kirby in battling the king. Bandana Waddle Dee is most often portrayed as adventurous and energetic, contrasting with the lackadaisical nature of his kind. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby Star Allies, his pause screen descriptions emphasize his courage compared to the other Waddle Dees, going as far as to call him "everyone's idol". Even when not in battle, he still does his best to support Kirby and his friends.

Elfilin is a small flying chinchilla-like creature capable of speech. Elfilin appears to be largely helpless at first, and is not keen on fighting, but he is later shown to have potent abilities, including the power to open wormholes through Another Dimension to connect distant worlds. Elfilin is a small chinchilla-like creature with giant ears (the right one having a large missing section on the rim) and turquoise fur. His eyes are blue and appear to shimmer in the light. The large hole on the outer rim of Elfilin's right ear is reminiscent of the practice of ear punching, wherein laboratory mice have specific sections of their ears punched out in order for researchers to more easily identify them. Elfilin's ears were designed to look like the waxing and waning moon, which represents the idea that he's the broken piece of a once-single entity. Elfilin is characterized as a kind and energetic, yet unassuming creature who only wishes to live in peace with the Waddle Dees in the new world. When the Waddle Dees are captured, Elfilin is eager to rescue them on his own, but decides to let Kirby take the lead once he offers to help. Despite being imbued with incredible power, Elfilin seems to be unaware of this until after merging and re-separating from Fecto Forgo; up to that point, he is largely helpless without Kirby's protection. Even after this, he states that his power is still weak, as he can only open and close a single portal at a time.
