| “ | Fleurina always puts on an elegant show when she attacks. Don't get too caught up in her performance, or you'll get caught up in her tornado to match! She's very dedicated to her dance career and thinks of every battle as a new lesson. (They keep her on her toes.) | ” | — Figure description |
Fleurina is an anthropomorphic swan ballerina who makes her debut as a Mid-Boss in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and is the only Mid-Boss in the game that is not based on a pre-existing Mid-Boss from the Kirby series. She attacks by twirling herself along with gale force and throwing out tornado projectiles. Fittingly, she gives the Tornado Copy Ability when defeated. She is also the first Mid-Boss in the series to provide this ability.
Her name is likely derived from "flurry" and "ballerina". The word “fleur” is also French for “flower”, referring to the flower-like feathers on her head.

Fleurina appears in the following stages:
- Scale the Cement Summit
- The Battle of Blizzard Bridge (paired with a twin on the stage's secret route)
- The Wastes Where Life Began
- Forgo Horns

| Fleurina's attacks in Kirby and the Forgotten Land | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | Description | Variants | ||
| Tornado Twirl | Fleurina spins into a tornado and flies across the arena several times, leaving behind some Drop Stars shortly before finishing. | |||
| Gale Toss | Fleurina throws out some tornado projectiles that spin toward Kirby. They leave Drop Stars behind when they hit the edge of the arena. | |||
| Tornado Slam | Fleurina spins into a tornado and flies high above Kirby. She then tries to land on him, causing a shockwave to slowly expand before dissipating. The slam leaves Drop Stars on impact. | |||
| Vortex Spin | Fleurina positions in the center of the arena and spins into a big tornado, drawing Kirby in with its gale. If Kirby gets caught by the attack, he will be tossed high into the air and take heavy damage. After this attack concludes, Fleurina gives a graceful bow. | Fleurina always uses this move first when entering the second phase. | ||
