[[folder:King Dedede]]

* TheAlcoholic: [[spoiler:Prior to meeting the Kirbies, she drinks a ''lot'' of beers in the Reincarnation arc.]]

* MentalHealthRecoveryArc: [[spoiler:The Reincarnation arc, which shows Adeleine after the events of the comics prior to meeting the Kirbies. She UsedToBeASweetChild, but her stay with Dedede made her a lonely and grumpy woman when she grew up and lived on her own. Her accidental creation of the Kirbies and her meeting them [[TookALevelInKindness softened her heart]], [[ParentalSubstitute treating them as her children]] and slowly recover her cheerful personality she had as a little girl.]]

* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: His SuperMode is the [[https://kirby.fandom.com/wiki/Hammer Hammer]] ability, but has [[SpikesOfDoom a spike in each side]] and appears to be made out of a black metal, compared to the original wood hammer with a star drawn on each side. He also carries that same metal hammer in his normal form, but without the spikes.

* GratuitousFrench: It's implied that Adeleine in this series is French, or at least came from a French family [[spoiler:before being adopted by Dedede. In the [[https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kimiomega/kirby-guardian-comic-15-karma 15th comic]], she says "[[ForeignCussWord Et merde...]]" when she slipped and fell to the ground while carrying an ice cream cone]], and the description in [[https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kimiomega/kirby-guardian-comic-14-strange-markings the 14th comic]] says that "it has become easier [for the Company] to understand their mother's language and [[MauriceChevalierAccent accent]]". This might be because of her being an artist with an ArtsyBeret, which is usually applied to "true" French artists in fiction, and because of the series' creator being from France.
* HairTriggerTemper: She becomes more easily angry in episode 6-7 and comics 7-12.

* TheAlcoholic: Prior to meeting the Kirbies, she drinks a ''lot'' of beers in the Reincarnation arc.

* SlidingScaleOfBeauty: She wasn't ''that'' ugly in the Reincarnation arc, but she was more unkempt and there were more moments when she put more ugly faces. [[https://twitter.com/KimiOmega/status/1546330714597216256 This image]], however, really shows her at her ''ugliest''.

* TeamMom / ParentalSubstitute: She takes care of the Kirbies as their own children, while the team treats them as their mother.

* MythologyGag: When Adeleine chases in rage at the Gaw Gaws, she swipes her paintbrush around while closing her eyes, similar to her last attempt of attacking Kirby while possesed by Dark Rimura in ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'', her neutral atack, Brush Slash, in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', and the similar final attempt of a possesed Ado, [[AmbiguousSituation who may or may not be the same character]], in ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3''.

* ScreamingWarrior: She chases the Gaw Gaw family while screaming and swinging her paintbrush out of rage.

* GentleGiant: She's the loving and responsible [[ParentalSubstitute adoptive mother]] to her little children.

* {{Symbolism}}: The fact that Adeleine has various references to stars (a pair of stars appearing [[https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kimiomega/kirby-guardian-mesmer-eyes in each of her eyes]] in some moments, her star necklace and a shirt she wears in Episode 3 that literally says "star") may reference the star the player controls that guides the Kirbies in ''VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack'' (a game that the series is ''heavily'' inspired), making her the [[DoubleMeaning Kirbies' guardian.]]

* LanguageBarrier: In [[https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/ad3227b376812b17d53e3e769bdb05fa the comics]], it's revealed that, due to the StarfishLanguage example below, the only thing the gang can hear from their mommy's mouth is "BlahBlahBlah" (with the General getting only ''some'' words said by her), so they require the use of gestures and signs for communication. [[https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kimiomega/kirby-guardian-comic-14-strange-markings By the 14th comic]], though, Ado's now able to follow a basic conversation with her sons for a little bit, and the crew now know their mother's language and accent, though some of her words are still tough for them to understand.

* LanguageBarrier: In [[https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/ad3227b376812b17d53e3e769bdb05fa the comics]], it's revealed that, due to her children [[StarfishLanguage not sharing her language]], not only she can't understand what they say (though she's learning slowly thanks to [=CutesyOne=], as revealed in [[https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kimiomega/kirby-guardian-comic-2-teaching-her-new-words the 2nd comic]]), but the only thing the gang can hear from her mouth is "BlahBlahBlah" (with the General getting only ''some'' words said by her), so they require the use of gestures and signs for communication.

Ado eventually understands the Company's language [[https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kimiomega/kirby-guardian-comic-14-strange-markings in the 14th comic]], though.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: In the Reincarnation arc, Adeleine is seemingly reimagined as a rude drunk who actively stares daggers at a Waddle Dee for looking at her, and appears to be a bit of a loner. Despite herself and her attitude, Adeleine's gruff attitude melts away when The General cries, and she rubs The General's head to show some affection for the poor little thing. Furthermore, she shows a level of fear and concern when The General collapses out of hunger.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://m.soundcloud.com/user-753864203/kirby-guardian-one-trick-pony?in=user-753864203%2Fsets%2Fkirby-guardian-ost One - Trick Pony]]".

* {{Pride}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As if his name doesn't give a clue.]] Though in his case, despite his confident and independent demeanor, [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex he's actually pretty childish and insecure deep down]], not so different [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome from someone prideful.]]

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:At least during Episode 7. He's not really what you would call "evil", but has constant anger problems and violent tendencies because of the emotion he gained since birth rather than something he really chose to have, making his moral agency rather questionable. This ultimately leads him to fight against and brutally beat his brothers.]]

* OddNameOut: He's the only one in the Company to not have a "One" in his name and also having a space between it.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: He's a BloodKnight who just gets fascinated by any kind of violence and his actions are PlayedForLaughs [[spoiler:([[PlayedForDrama except in Episode 7]])]], but is nonetheless in the side of good.
