- This article is about Flamberge on her own. For all three sisters, seeThe Three Mage-Sisters.
| “ | Bahaha! Who would have thought my search for the Jamba Heart pieces would lead me back to you and your puffery! This must be the fiery flames of fate at work!Ooooh yeaaaah! My flames and I are fully stoked now! Beware, you puny pink pest! In the name of Lord Hyness...I'll turn you into a burning ball of meddlesomeness! | ” | — Flamberge inKirby Star Allies |
Flamberge is aboss who made her debut inKirby Star Allies. She is described as the Blazing General ofThe Three Mage-Sisters (the other two beingFrancisca andZan Partizanne), and servesHyness, the main antagonist of the game.
Flamberge is dressed in the same habit as the other two Mage-Sisters, but she is distinguished by her darker skin, red color scheme, and spiky hair. She mainly uses fire in battle; she carries a flamberge with a fiery enchantment, and also uses a flamethrower. Her fire powers were granted to her after she was saved from an inferno by Hyness. Flamberge has a hot-headed temperament and is quick to anger and frustration. She has a particularly close bond to Francisca, and will not countenance her being attacked by anyone else.

Thus, Flamberge was born. | ” | — Pause flavor text ofFlamberge (Soul Melter EX battle) inThe Ultimate Choice |
