{{quote|Now then, [[Kirby|hero]] of the [[Dream Land|lower world]]. You would risk your life for [[Floralia|this land]]? You would stand against me, the ruler of the heavens? Very well... You will bow before the great Queen Sectonia! My beauty rivals the divine... And my power will crush all that you hold dear!|'''Queen Sectonia ''' in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''}}
'''Queen Sectonia''' is a beauty-obsessed insectoid monarch and magician, and the primary antagonist of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', making her debut as the final [[boss]] of that game in various forms. Queen Sectonia is a power-hungry and half-crazed tyrant who sought to subjugate all of [[Floralia]] after gazing for too long into a [[Dimension Mirror|cursed mirror]]. She first appears in-game after [[Kirby]] beats [[Taranza]], who was the queen's loyal servant.  After she is defeated in battle, she combines with the [[Dreamstalk]] for her [[Flowered Sectonia|second phase]]. In [[The True Arena]], this form is replaced with [[Soul of Sectonia]], who has an additional phase.

Though only making a proper appearance in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', Queen Sectonia has made multiple cameo appearances in later ''Kirby'' games, though due to her presumed death, none have her physically appear.

==Characteristics==
[[File:KTD Queen Sectonia.png|thumb|Screenshot of Queen Sectonia at the start of her battle in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''.]]
Queen Sectonia used to more closely resemble Taranza, but used magic to change her appearance to that of a lavishly decorated wasp. She bears a primarily blue and yellow-striped face and body, with a pink heart on her thorax. Her appearance might be a reference to the "[[wikipedia:Wasp waist|wasp waist]]", a fashion trend that consisted of narrowing the waist through the use of [[wikipedia:Corset|corsets]] and [[wikipedia:girdle|girdle]], named after a [[wikipedia:petiole|petiole]] (a two-segmented body joined by a thin abdoment) characteristic to wasps. She bears four golden translucent wings, a wide regal crest, and a gaudy gem-encrusted crown. She wields two magical staves; the left one is silver and has a green crystal, while the right one is gold and has a magenta crystal. She carries these with two disembodied gloved hands. Queen Sectonia has no trouble flying, and typically hovers off the ground. She is also capable of teleporting short distances, leaving blurry disorienting images of herself as she does so. As Queen Sectonia DX, her design bears a pink and red color scheme with spiked magenta wings. Her overall appearance has more pointed edges, as well.

Queen Sectonia is vain and power-hungry, and she believes that her beauty makes her equivalent to the divine. She has a bit of a shallow demeanor, with no obvious goal other than amassing more power. She also has a bad habit of cackling incessantly when she fights. Despite this, she has the combat skills to back up her boasting, as she is well-trained in both swordplay and sorcery. As shown by her actions toward Taranza, she is no longer of sound mind and will even attack those who are near to her. At this point, it becomes clear to Taranza that she is no longer the person she once was. This becomes especially true when Sectonia is beaten by Kirby after their first engagement, and resorts to merging with the [[Dreamstalk]] in order to indiscriminately drain the life out of the entire world and all its inhabitants.

==Backstory==
Long before the events of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Sectonia and Taranza were once good friends who lived on the highest island of Floralia, [[Royal Road]], but even at this early stage, Sectonia's vanity was apparent. At some point, Taranza stole the [[Dimension Mirror]] and gifted it to her. Both unaware of its powers, the mirror's influence caused Sectonia to become even more self-obsessed, ultimately turning her heart toward tyranny. It is even suggested that Queen Sectonia used to resemble Taranza more closely, but in her desire for power and beauty, used magic to jump from her original body into the wasp-like form she bears in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. To ensure that nobody would challenge her rule, she imprisoned the [[People of the Sky]] and built an army of magically created minions to guard her palace in Royal Road. When the People of the Sky tried to call for help by sending down the Dreamstalk seed, Sectonia noticed this and ordered Taranza to foil their plan by pre-emptively kidnapping "the hero of Dream Land". It is from here that the main story of ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' unfolds.

[[File:KTD Queen Sectonia betrays Taranza.png|thumb|right|250px|Queen Sectonia's first appearance in the story, as she is about to smite Taranza.]]

In ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', Queen Sectonia's visage is seen all over Royal Road, but she does not make her physical appearance until Kirby defeats Taranza and [[Masked Dedede]] in [[Royal Road - Stage 6]]. Taranza calls for her assistance after he realizes that King Dedede was not the hero of Dream Land he meant to capture. Angered by his failure, the queen swats Taranza aside, then proceeds to confirm Kirby's identity as the hero of Dream Land. After a somewhat lengthy and convoluted speech about obtaining ultimate power and beauty, she does battle with Kirby directly. However, even given her magical potency, she falls to the pink warrior.

In a last-ditch attempt to defeat Kirby, Sectonia [[Flowered Sectonia|merges with the Dreamstalk]]. She nearly defeats Kirby in this form, but King Dedede and Taranza (after a change of heart) team up to save him. At the end of the fight, Kirby assumes [[Hypernova]] form and destroys the flowered Queen Sectonia by blasting her with her own power beam, thus freeing the Kingdom of Floralia.

In [[The True Arena]], Queen Sectonia uses the last of her strength to consume four [[Miracle Fruit]]s, transforming into '''[[Soul of Sectonia]]'''. She then fights Kirby one more time, with strengthened power and new attacks.

Queen Sectonia also appears in [[sprite]] form as a collectible [[keychain]]. Hers is only awarded once all the [[Sun Stone]]s have been collected.

Queen Sectonia fights with a pair of staves. She can cast spells with these staves and transform them into rapiers for melee combat. She also teleports constantly between attacks, similar to [[Nightmare]], [[Marx]] and [[Magolor]].

The following attack names are taken from Japanese guidebooks.
=====Phase 1=====
In Phase 1, Queen Sectonia fights in the hall of her palace.

Queen Sectonia attacks in a fixed order on loop in Story Mode and The Arena as follows:
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2" width="68%"
!colspan=2|'''Attacks - Phase 1'''

|-
|'''Triple Slash'''
|Sectonia transforms her rods into dual rapiers.<br>She will then perform a left slash, a right slash, and finish with a thrust.<br>Each of the first two slashes leaves a star that disappears quickly. The final thrust leaves a star in front of her and 3 stars on her path.
|-
|'''Electric Shock'''
|Sectonia fires black lightning bolts from her right rod in the bottom three directions.<br>She will perform this continuously in four locations: center, one side of the stage, the other side of the stage, and back to center. The final round leaves 3 stars.

|}
{{clear}}

=====Phase 2=====
[[File:KTD Queen Sectonia battle 4.png|thumb|250px|The Queen tosses sharp golden hoops at Kirby in Phase 2 of the fight.]]
This phase commences when Queen Sectonia has lost one-third of her [[health]]; she will summon a giant ruby and forcefully throw Kirby or Dedede onto the ruby as the battlefield. This area is smaller than the initial playing field and has gaps on either side, so Kirby or Dedede must be careful not to fall into the [[bottomless pit]]s.

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2" width="70%"
!colspan=2|'''Attacks - Phase 2'''
|-
!'''Attack'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|'''Ring Shot'''
|Sectonia summons multiple rounds of small rings to throw at Kirby. The first two sets have her throw one ring on each side, while the final set has her throw three rings on each side, each leaving a [[Drop Star]] on impact.
|-
|'''Antler Summon'''
|Sectonia summons several [[Antler]]s and disappears from the stage. Sectonia won't come back until all the summoned Antlers are defeated.
|-
|'''Electric Shock'''
|Sectonia fires black lightning bolts from her right rod. Her first and third sets have the electric bolts sweep the stage from either left-to-right or right-to-left, while her second set has her zap the center of the stage.<br>In-between sets, she will move around sporadically to get in position for her next set.
|-
|'''Multithrust'''
|Sectonia transforms her rods into dual rapiers.<br>She will then thrust her rapiers rapidly and finish with a cross slash that leaves 2 stars.
|-
|'''Triple Slash'''
|Sectonia transforms her rods into dual rapiers.<br>She will then perform a left slash, a right slash, and finish with a thrust.<br>Each of the first two slashes leaves a star that disappears quickly. The final thrust leaves a star in front of her and 3 stars on her path.
|-
|'''Cross Slash'''
|Sectonia transforms her rods into dual rapiers.<br>She will then fly to the other planes of the stage and perform a cross slash aimed at Kirby twice. Each slash leaves a star.
|}

In Story Mode and The Arena, Queen Sectonia always begins the second phase with this attack:
*Ring Shot

After that, she then attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Antler Summon (2 Red Fire Antlers)
#Electric Shock
#Multithrust
#Antler Summon (4 Blue Ice Antlers)
#Triple Slash
#Ring Shot
#Antler Summon (3 Green Electric Antlers)
#Cross Slash
{{clear}}

=====Phase 3=====
[[File:KTD Queen Sectonia battle 5.png|thumb|250px|Sectonia phases in and out of view in Phase 3 of the fight.]]
This phase begins when Queen Sectonia has lost three-quarters of her [[health]]; at this point, she will destroy the ruby stage with her rods. If Kirby is hit while Sectonia is smashing the stage, he will take damage and his current [[Copy Ability]] will be lost. Kirby must dodge her attack if he wishes to escape unscathed, though simply standing out of the way will suffice. Then, Kirby is thrown back to the hall for the final phase of the battle.

!colspan=2|'''Attacks - Phase 3'''
|-
!'''Attack'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|'''Teleport Slash'''
|Sectonia teleports several times to create illusions. Then, she appears from behind Kirby, covers her rapiers with purple aura and performs a quick slash.<br>She will perform Teleport Slash four times in a row. The final slash leaves 2 stars.
|-
|'''Antler Summon'''
|Sectonia summons several [[Antler]]s. This time, she will not wait for their defeat and can damage or even destroy her summoned minions with her own attacks. The Antlers will walk off the stage if luckily not destroyed by Sectonia.<br>The kinds of Antlers summoned are in a fixed order as follows: five blue Antlers, three red Antlers and four green Antlers.
|-
|'''Brightless Ring'''
|Sectonia teleports to the background and throws three big rings at Kirby's vertical position.<br>Interestingly, while King Dedede is lying unconscious in the hall during Story Mode, he avoids the attack by lowering his body.

|}

In Story Mode and The Arena, Queen Sectonia attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Teleport Slash

#Any of the following (Sectonia will always perform one of these and will perform a second one if the summoned Antlers are still alive):

[[File:KTD Queen Sectonia DX.png|thumb|200px|'''Queen Sectonia DX''' in Dededetour! and The True Arena.]]
In [[Dededetour!]] and [[The True Arena]], Queen Sectonia will appear in her DX form, which bears a red-pink-purple color scheme with her crown becoming green-golden. Her wings gain edges and become pink.

|-
|'''Brightless Ring DX'''
|Sectonia DX teleports to the background and summons a spinning ring around her waist.<br>First, she tries to cut Kirby or Dedede with her ring by moving toward him, which can be avoided by ducking at either corner of the floor.<br>Then, she flies back to the background and throws 3 much bigger rings aimed at Kirby's or Dedede's current vertical location.

One of the [[Stone]] transformations in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' depicts both Taranza and the aforementioned Taranza-esque character. This form is presumably Sectonia before jumping bodies. A black version of Queen Sectonia also makes an appearance when Taranza uses one of his moves, Queen's Phantom, where she blasts the stage with lightning. Taranza also appears sad when he uses this move, possibly due to her death. This model is the exact same as her appearance in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', only with higher-quality textures.<ref>[https://twitter.com/firubiii/status/1068609344219029504 firubii on Twitter]</ref> She also makes cameo appearances in the [[Celebration Picture]]s "A Miracle Sent to the Skies", "Rockabilly And Blues" and "Bad Boss Brothers".

==Trivia==
*Queen Sectonia appears to be in possession of the [[Dimension Mirror]] from ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', which is summoned upon her defeat in [[Dededetour!]]. It was stated on Miiverse that Taranza got it for her as a gift, though he was unaware of its enchantment, and that gazing into it for too long resulted in her corruption, as her vanity got the best of her.<ref>{{Cite|Sadly, it was gazing into [[Dimension Mirror|the mirror]] day after day that led to her mind being twisted towards tyranny by its power|[[Satoshi Ishida]]|[https://web.archive.org/web/20170730215657/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkVe0VpUw Miiverse post (archived)]}}</ref> This is also mentioned in the description of the Sectonia Flask in ''Super Kirby Clash''.<ref>{{cite|A glass modeled after the queen who once ruled the people of the sky. Her obsession with her own beauty was magnified by a certain mirror to a tragic end.|Sectonia Flask description|''Super Kirby Clash''}}</ref>
*It was also stated on Miiverse that Sectonia originally resembled her insect-like subjects, but used magic to make herself more beautiful.<ref>{{Cite|Queen Sectonia is a mistress of manipulative magic. Once upon a time, she looked similar to her insectoid underlings, but her current beautiful yet deadly bee-like form is a body that she took over through the use of her magic. I wonder how the minions who knew her before felt, serving a mistress who changes her appearance like that? I think that stopping at nothing to sit on the throne, even going so far as to discard one’s true form, is one of the traits that makes a true final boss.|Satoshi Ishida|[https://web.archive.org/web/20170730215505/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkSsJclEg Miiverse post (archived)]}}</ref> This is supported by the Taranza-like figure seen in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' and ''Kirby Star Allies'', which appears to be her original form.
**Flavor text suggests that her transformation was supported through parasitic methods: [[Soul of Sectonia]]'s Special Page in her second phase states that she "has fed off of countless hosts", and the flavor text for the Sectonia Mask in ''Super Kirby Clash'' mentions that the mask resembles an associate of hers,<ref name="Sectonia Mask">{{cite|A lovely mask associated with a ravishing queen. Supposedly resembles an associate of hers from before she attained her great beauty.|Sectonia Mask description|''Super Kirby Clash''}}</ref> although the original Japanese version instead only says that she used to resemble her aide, possibly referring to how she used to look like Taranza.<ref>{{cite|美しき女王にちなんだゆうがなマスク。このすがたにいたる前は彼女のそっきんとにたすがただったという。(Connected to a beautiful queen. A graceful mask. It's said that before she attained this form, she resembled her aide. )|Sectonia Mask description (Japanese)|''Super Kirby Clash''}}</ref> Additionally, in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', [[Sectonia Clone]]'s Special Page says that her DNA contains elements of creatures spanning a period of 1,000 years.<ref name="Sectonia Clone"/>
**One [[CPU]] nickname in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' is "Q.Joronia" (in Japanese, タランザ＆ジョロニア ''Taranza and Joronia''). ''Jorō'' is the name of [[wikipedia:Trichonephila clavata|a large, brightly-colored spider]] found in Japan. It is associated with the myth of the ''[[wikipedia:Jorōgumo|jorōgumo]]'', a ''yōkai'' which is a female spider that can shapeshift into a beautiful woman. Based on this, Joronia may have been Sectonia's original name from when she was a spider-like being like Taranza, before she used magic to change her appearance into that of a wasp.
*Sectonia's name is derived from "insect" and "near", to suggest that she is almost an insect, but not quite.<ref>{{Cite|That such a royal being would be called a queen goes without saying, but what about the name ‘Sectonia’? We created this name by combining two English words – ‘insect’ and ‘near’ – to create the idea of a being that is almost an insect, but not quite.
