| “ | 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.)” |

Fleurina is a mid-boss in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. She yields the Tornado ability when inhaled.

Games[]
Kirby and the Forgotten Land[]
Fleurina appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land as a member of the Beast Pack and a mid-boss that can be encountered throughout various levels.
In battle, Fleurina can spin herself causing a twister to surround her, which can hurt the player. She will chase the player after the twister is complete and will stop the twister a few seconds after. She can also jump into the air, spin herself into a twister again and follow the player in the air. After a few seconds she will stomp onto the ground in an attempt to hit the player, if it is successful, she will do massive damage to the player if caught under it. Additionally, once she stomps the twister will shrink slowly travel along the ground around her in a circular shape, which can also damage the player upon collision with it. It will disappear once it makes its full spread around her. She can also send three tornados at the player, which move in an unpredictable fashion.
At 50% health, Fleurina can now spin and leap into the air to dodge any attacks the player was about to do to her which will lead into another twister spin.
Etymology[]
"Fleurina" is a portmanteau of "fleur," which means "flower" in French; and "ballerina," referencing her dancing movements.
Her Japanese name, スワロリーナ (Suwarorina), is a portmanteau of "swallow" (スワロー suwarō); and "ballerina" (バレリーナ barerīna).
Trivia[]
