Taranza

Taranza's personality was originally shown to be very resourceful and cunning, but after Queen Sectonia's demise those traits of his personality became less visible in his person, but did not disappear completely. He began to mourn her death and miss her, wanting her back, however, he also happily remembers his memories of her before she was corrupted by the Dimensional Mirror, often seen holding a flower that resembles her final form and peacefully sniffing it and twirling its petals. Currently being part of Kirby's side, he is clumsy, but at the same time he is a bit of a smarty-pants. He is also slightly snobby and pretentious. Sometimes he's nervous and somewhat fearful. Despite his snobbishness he Is compasive an empathetic, kind, and somewhat of a tease with someone close.

Taranza is an androgynous, young, spider-like floating creature who bears similar anatomy to Magolor. His body is divided into a head and a torso. He has brown skin, and on his head he has eight eyes (one white with a slight purple glow pair on his face, one orange-yellow pair on his forehead, and two orange-yellow pairs on the back of his head). A mouth with two visible orange fangs, silver curvy hair, and two orange horns with brown rings and yellow tips, that resemble pincers. Over his torso, he wears a crimson scarf with a green web-patterned cape and dark green clothing, having two silver buttons on its front and crimson circle designs on both sides. He has three pairs of white gloved disembodied hands with an orange covering on the wrists, a half-circle of the same color on the back of the hands and on the tip of the thumbs. At the bottom of his torso, he has a stubby crimson "tail", which resembles a spinneret.

Taranza uses a variety of web-like magic, including creating energy nets and controlling them freely to trap enemies, firing nets that encase enemies in capsules, channeling energy in a blast around him, a ball of energy that bounces off walls, shielding himself with energy, turning objects into monsters, and mentally controlling opponents like puppets using his strings, being able to amplify the power of those he controls if he so requires. For this last, he earned the nickname of Master of Puppetry.

Backstory: Years before, a younger Taranza and Sectonia used to be very good and close friends, who lived in Floralia. They were so close that Taranza was in love with his friend, but seemingly never told her or acted on his feelings. It was this love that lead him to wanting to give her a present, a gift to show his appreciation for her. This gift ended up being a huge, fancy mirror, that unkowingly to the both of them actually was The Dimensional Mirror. After being presented this gift Sectonia gazed into this mirror on a daily basis, little by little slowly twisting and warping Sectonia's mind each time she looked into the mirror's surface. Her obsession with her own beauty was amplified to a dangerous degree of vanity, and she became a tyrannical and power-hungry queen, changing from her previous form to her more known wasp-like body. Even so, Taranza remains at her side, even though his one good friend has now turned twisted and narcissistic, following the orders of his Queen as her right-hand man. Then, years later on orders from Queen Sectonia, he kidnapped King Dedede in order to prevent him from foiling their plans to conquer Floralia. In the end, however, he realized he had captured the wrong target, as Kirby would pursue him all the way to the queen's chambers. There Taranza would fight against Kirby controlling King Dedede, but when he noticed that it didn't work, out of desperation, he quickly summons Queen Sectonia, begging for her to save him. But displeased with his failure and deeming him useless, Sectonia would betray him. Realizing this he eventually come to Kirby and King Dedede's aid in dispatching her after she had merged with the Dreamstalk. From then on, he would be an ally to Kirby and King Dedede.
