"Ugh… Jam…blasted… Bah! How could there be such opposition on a measly and remote planet like this?! Well, it matters not. This Jamba Heart piece is already within my grasp! Listen here, you tiny ball of puffy pink mischief! For all I care… You and this Jambastion can rot in ruin forever! Baaahahahaha! Jambuhbye!"

Lightning General Zan Partizanne is a boss in the Kirby series, appearing in Kirby Star Allies. She is the leader of the three Jambastion mages.

Physical Appearance
Zan Partizanne has disembodied hands and long, yellow hair. She has no nose, and her eyes more resemble Kirby's as opposed to being one color, but still maintaining eyelashes. She wears a marigold beret with a bat-like symbol in front, which the Hyness also features on his hood.

Kirby Star Allies
Zan Partizanne is part of a group called the Jambastion mages, which are under the command of Hyness.

Battle
Since she uses electricity, she can zip around the arena quickly. Her attacks are very similar to those of Flamberge's, except much faster. When in her second phase, she unleashes her Thunder Drums. She uses them to fire orbs of electricity, she eventually fires hordes of them and lastly fires off three in the center which make a bigger explosion. If anyone has the Water ability, they can attack her while she's using her thunder drums, It will then cause her thunder drums to electrocute her and explode, leaving her stunned. She also can create a thunder-cloud that shoots out lightning to her sides. She moves around the arena while the thunder-cloud shoots lightning

Eventually, she is fought again just before Hyness in the Divine Terminus. When she brings out her thunder drums, she uses them to create a lightning spear, she then moves to either top corner of the screen and throws the spear at the opposite bottom corner. Then, a giant beam of electricity follows the spear, even electrocuting part of the ground. The electric orbs she fires from her drums are also bigger as well.

Story
After Kirby has defeated Meta Knight, the Jambastion mages land their Jambastation on Planet Popstar. Kirby faces them one by one, going up against Zan last. When Kirby confronts Zan, she declares that he is a bigger nuisance than she first realized. She battles Kirby and his friends, ending with her defeat. She then destroys the Jambastion in the desperate hope of burying Kirby, forcing Kirby and his friends to flee into space. However, Zan Partizanne quickly escapes, and Kirby loses track of her.

Near the end of the game, Kirby and his friends approach Hyness, and Zan blocks his way. After Kirby defeats her again, she calls weakly to Hyness, begging him for help. Hyness responds by swatting her away and then faces Kirby for himself. When Kirby defeats him, however, Hyness goes mad and hypnotizes Zan and her two sisters to use them as living weapons. After Kirby defeats Hyness once again, Zan, along with her sisters Francisca and Flamberge, is thrown into the heart of Void Termina by Hyness as an offering.

During the fight with Void Termina, Kirby and his friends enter its body to defeat the core. When doing so, they find Zan, along with Hyness, Francisca, and Flamberge, trapped inside. All four of them are ejected before the final phase of the fight.

Quote
"Stop right there, pink one! I did not expect you to survive your visit to Jambastion. What’s more, you somehow bested my darling Franny and Berge! However, your luck has run out. It is the dearest wish of Lord Hyness…THAT NO ONE INTERFERES!"
