Meta Knight

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. This is especially shown in Kirby Super Star Ultra, where he wishes to best Galacta Knight, the 'Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy'. He also seems to despise laziness, as shown by his attempt to take over Dream Land in Kirby Super Star and its remake. 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. Meta Knight also has a habit to conceal his face for unknown reasons. Whenever his mask breaks during a fight, he hides his face in his cape and instantly leaves the battlefield. Meta Knight appears to be quite prideful and relies heavily upon his image as a stern and mysterious swordsman, which would explain why he hides his face. Despite his desired image, however, he is often brash and short-tempered. In the spin-off title Kirby Battle Royale for instance, one of the Waddle Dee Report Crew members remarks that Meta Knight has a tendency to curse when he is stressed out during the games (though obviously, the player never hears this). Additionally, Kirby Star Allies states that Meta Knight has a "secret wild streak" and "hidden fury" that was brought out by the Jamba Heart; accordingly, he will lose his temper if Kirby refuses to pick up the Sword given to him before his boss fight, causing him to kick it away.

In games where he speaks, he is shown to have a deep voice and can talk in full sentences, which makes a sharp contrast to the usual depiction of Kirby. He has a Spanish accent and knows how to speak, write, and read that language.

Meta Knight appears as a blue, roundish creature, with a physique similar to that of Kirby. His most prominent feature is his silver mask. He also wears purple sabatons, metal pauldrons, and a purple cape, which he can transform into two large bat wings. He is often seen wielding his trademark sword, the Galaxia. This legendary golden blade is usually depicted with prongs on each of its sides. When Meta Knight is defeated, his mask usually splits in two and falls off, revealing a face similar to Kirby's own, except blue and without cheek blush. Unmasked, Meta Knight reveals a smooth, navy-blue spherical face with large, expressive yellow eyes. In games where he speaks, he is shown to have a deep voice and can talk in full sentences, which makes a sharp contrast to the usual depiction of Kirby.
