Mrs. Buttercup Bookem is a minor recurring supporting character in the anime seriesKirby: Right Back at Ya!. She is aCappy and the wife ofChief Bookem. She does not often have dialogue, but she comes across as sincere and kind, particularly toward her husband. She can sometimes be seen gossiping withHana andMabel.

Characteristics[edit]

Buttercup is an elderly Cappy woman who can be distinguished by her wrinkled cheeks, lavender scarf, and bushy gray hair. She does not typically play a significant role in the episodes she appears in, with one of her only distinct appearances being as the math teacher in the episodeeNeMeE Elementary, where she becomes uncharacteristically violent and aggressive after donning theteacher's cap. This role in addition to her introduction byEscargoon implies that she is skilled in mathematics. It is later shown in the episode that Buttercup sometimes teaches the Cappy children in a more informal setting, where she tells them stories. Her illustration ofKing Dedede crying in that scene - assuming she drew it - also implies that she is a decently skilled illustrator.

InThe Meal Moocher, Buttercup is shown to be an expert chef, as she is able to prepare excellent Japanese cuisine. InA Trashy Tale, she is shown to be rather untidy, which becomes a point of gossip for the whole town, but it is later revealed that she was unable to keep the house clean when Chief Bookem insisted on keeping all the items from the lost and found there.
