Lady Like

| ||||||||||||||||
Lady Like is a supporting character inKirby: Right Back at Ya!. She is the wife ofKing Dedede's cabinet ministerSir Ebrum, and the mother of bothTiff andTuff. She is portrayed as a ditsy and foppish, but kind-hearted noblewoman who only truly cares about the safety and well-being of her family and forKirby. She is an incidental character for most of the show's duration, but has a leading role in Episode 85:A Sunsational Puzzle, where her exaggerated concern for avoiding overexposure to sunlight leads her to briefly become nocturnal.
Characteristics[edit]
Lady Like is a tall yellow figure who wears a magenta dress which completely covers her body and feet. Her hair color matches her skin, and forms into elaborate buns on top of her head (though a photo of her when she was young inA Sunsational Puzzle shows her with brown hair instead). She wears green pearl earrings and an orange scarf, and is never seen without extensive makeup on her face.
Lady Like has the demeanor of a ditsy and foppish noblewoman, though she is much more assertive than her husbandSir Ebrum, particularly when disciplining her children. Despite her outward aloofness, she cares deeply for the well-being of her family, and does everything she can to provide for them. Lady Like tends to take a passive approach when it comes to rearing her children, allowing them to do what they like so long as they maintain good habits such as keeping their rooms clean and brushing their teeth. Despite this, she can be somewhat bossy at times, though this is mostly directed toward her husband.
One notable aspect of Lady Like in the 4Kids version is that her lines often containmondegreens. In this version, she also has a noticeably thick Hungarian accent, often pronouncing her 'w's with a 'v' sound.
