Kirby Villains have Depressing Backstories
I had typed this out for something else, but I decided I’m just gonna put it out here.
Taranza once had a best friend called Sectonia. In fact, Taranza even had a crush on her, but never admitted it. One day, Taranza brought a magical mirror as a tribute to Sectonia, and she loved it, endlessly gazed into it day after day. However, an unknown evil lurking inside the mirror started to twist her mind and body, turning her into a beauty obsessed tyrant. Taranza, who had no idea what happened to her, continued to stay by her side due to their bond being so strong. At the end of Kirby Triple Deluxe, she attacked him and Taranza realised that she was no more than a shell of her former self. Sectonia knew that she could hear a voice calling out to her, but she was too far gone to realise why. He then helped Kirby put her out of her misery. He still misses her in other games he appears in.
Susie once worked with her father to recreate a wish granting machine they called Star Dream. During a test, a terrible accident occurred, transporting Susie to another dimension. Believing that she had died instead, her father put all his focus and energy into completing the machine to bring her back to life. But due to the machine being incomplete and the fact that she was never dead in the first place, his memories of his daughter were slowly erased each time he tried it. By the time Susie returned, he lost all of his memories of her and didn’t recognize her as his daughter. Despite losing all of his memories, he felt that she was familiar, and hired her as his secretary. At the end of Planet Robobot, Susie tried to destroy the machine in order to save her father, but accidentally caused the machine to become sentient and murder him in the process. His final words as the machine overwrites his mind are “Why did I reactivate such a terrible machine? Oh, I remember… I wanted to see her just one last time. How foolish! I should have known that no machine could make such a dream come true.”
The Three Mage Sisters were once ordinary girls on the brink of death. Francisca nearly froze to death in a snowstorm, Flamberge nearly suffocated in a fire, and Zan Partizanne nearly died after being struck by lightning while desperately climbing a tower in an attempt to end her own life. However, before they could depart from the world, Hyness arrived in the nick of time and saved their lives by granting them the powers of ice, fire, and electricity, respectively. Thus, the three of them became Hyness’s followers, admiring him for rescuing them. But they were eventually banished and sealed away to the edge of the galaxy by a race known as the Ancients, because they had stopped a galactic crisis (likely Galacta Knight) all by themselves. Hyness exclaims that the ancients banished and sealed them away because they feared their power, and that they attempted to erase their very existence from history itself. It drove him insane, and caused him to abuse the Sisters. He used their unconscious bodies as weapons when they were defeated in a fight, forgot their names, and sacrificed them to Void Termina without their consent. The mages do the best they can to please him, staying by his side even though he abuses them. Thankfully, by the end of Star Allies, his sanity is regained thanks to Kirby, and he is forgiven by the Sisters.
