Adeleine (Japanese: アドレーヌ Adorēnu) is a human painter who lives on planet Pop Star. A young artist, Adeleine is a recurring character and friend of Kirby's who is sometimes fought by him as a boss due to being possessed by Dark Matter. In Kirby's Dream Land 3 she was known as Ado. She has the ability to make the objects in her paintings become real.
While she is a human, and a frozen over version of Earth appears in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards in the form of Shiver Star, no connection between her and the planet is ever stated.
Physical Appearance[]
Adeleine appears to be a child, who has short black hair parted around her forehead and mostly hidden beneath a red beret. She has dark grey, almost, black, eyes and rosy cheeks not unlike Kirby. Adeleine wears a smock with a white collar and, depending on the game, either one or two yellow buttons; her smock is shown to be a teal colour in official artwork, though is depicted as a light green in-game. She also wears a short grey skirt, navy blue knee-high socks, and brown shoes with yellow laces. When she is possessed by Dark Matter in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Adeleine is depicted with peach-coloured eyes with thin black pupils.
In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Ado's beret does not hide as much of her hair as it does in Kirby 64. In this game, her black hair is as short as it is in her later appearances, though it is swept to reach just above her right eye. Because of more androgynous appearance in this game it was initially thought by fans that "Adeleine" and "Ado" were two separate individuals, with the latter being a bishōnen male.

Adeleine's palette swaps from the Kirby 64 Sub-Games.
In the multiplayer Sub-Games of Kirby 64, the player can choose to play as one of four different palette swaps for Adeleine. In addition to her normal appearance, the player can also choose to have her wear a purple smock and pink beret, a light-orange smock and brown beret, or a light-blue smock and light-yellow beret.
Not counting characters from other series who have made cameos, Adeleine is the only known human to exist within the Kirby series. Despite this fact, she is only about 10 inches tall (this is compared to Kirby's height, as he is canonically 8 inches tall.)
Canon Appearances[]

Adeleine — referred to as "Ado" in this game — is fought by Kirby as the boss of Cloudy Park as one of the victims of Dark Matter's possession. She draws several monsters to attack Kirby, before trying to attack him herself.

Adeleine is again possessed by Dark Matter and fought as a boss, this time early on in the story. After her defeat, she joins Kirby's crew to help collect the Crystal Shards and defeat Dark Matter. She occasionally appears in levels to draw food for Kirby to eat to heal him. Adeleine is also playable in the multiplayer sub-games.
