*'''The Three Mage-Sisters are not related by blood.''' ( | *'''The Three Mage-Sisters are not related by blood.''' Their name can mean sisters both in the familial sense and in the religious sense of a sisterhood; in the Japanese version, the mages are referred to with the English word "sisters" (シスターズ) rather than any native Japanese word, which adds further ambiguity. While this was addressed as a "mystery" of the series, akin to the relationship between Kirby and Meta Knight, on the [[Kirby Star Allies]] channel, the in-game descriptions for [[The Ultimate Choice|Soul Melter EX]] indicate that they were all disparate girls before Hyness took them in and made them into mages, something which is confirmed in ''Kirby Star Allies: The Original Artbook''. This means they are not related by blood. In the artbook, it is further explained that Hyness raised them from childhood, and the fact that Hyness drops a baby bottle when being ejected from [[Void Termina]] could allude to this (though in actuality, it was chosen simply because it resembles Hyness in shape and color). However, the sisters do not refer to each other with Japanese honorifics that indicate familial relation, and in fact Francisca refers to Flamberge as "Ms. Flamberge" (or ルージュさん ''Rouge-san'' in Japanese) at the end of [[Heroes in Another Dimension]], which would be an unusually formal way to address a sibling. Thus, while it is valid to consider them adoptive sisters, it is meant to be ambiguous, and there is just as much indication that they do not consider themselves formally related. | ||
