Hans Darius Drosselymeyer

And his granddaughter... Ribbon

So the "Nutcracker" & the Rat King are. one and the same... with Ribbon being the granddaughter of Clara & the Nutcracker.

Similar to the tale of the fairies of Ripple Star, very much looked down on the Daroach's species (and actually come from the same planet) ... Especially since they had the appearance of common mice. However, they were natural welders of magic and could naturally negate Dark magic.

And tensions were naturally high... after the war on Nightmare, people became wary of their species. This caused a young Drosselymeyer to seek work elsewhere, which led him to settle in Halcandara. Rising in the ranks, becoming lead engineer for Halcandra's Technology.

Becoming Queen Minerva Mims' (Magolor's great aunt) right-hand man. Eventually, he became great friends with Lady Celestine, Kit, & Sir Arthur... however, there was one person in their friend group who was the apple of his eye: Queen Velvet.

Queen Velvet was trapped in a political forced to marry King Argyle due to her family's military power during the war. And became the sixth wife of King Argyle (Argyle is basically like King Henry)... during Velvet's lowest moment, her wedding, she was befriended by the wedding officiant.

Celestine, who genuinely felt so bad for her predicament, basically invited her to the friend group. Meeting and Drosselymeyer... seeing her sorry state, he insisted to Minerva to reveal Halcandra's wedding gift to her (which he made, of course)... it was a tiny mechanical dove that cheered her up. And Drosselymer was enchanted by her smile. This led to numerous toys he would always make for her every time Velvet would visit Halcandara...! <3

I was very much inspired by the storyline of the Diabolical Box that's why this is their theme (Still working on Queen Velvet & Minerva...) So how did they all get separated?

During Minerva Mim's Revolt and eventual downfall... Sir Arthur & Kit took all the magic folk ( Celestine & Minerva's followers) and hid them away... (as many as they could), knowing all too well they'd be on the chopping block... (similar to how the King ordered the extermination of the rats in the Nutcracker story...)

Hiding them away in the enchanted astral belt, later known as the "Bermuda Triangle..." (created by Arthur & Drosseylmeyer) However, there was a catch: once you go in, no one goes out (all touch up on this later...). There's a certain time you can leave the astral belt, however, if you don't get the timing right, you could be locked out... Or not let back in. Well, that is if you could find the place again. (which itself could take centuries to find again...)

Bremman fell on this astral belt... (Kit's home planet), it was actually Arthur's intention to hide Kit and his clan. Believing he couldn't protect Kit as well with his fallout with Uther. However, Kit wouldn't let that happen, "Ya honestly think I'm gonna leave you with that brute running that circus not a chance!"

Also, Kit had built enough of a reputation to protect himself but was smart enough to stay off the field, now opting to become drill master. Drosselymeyer wanted to stay, too... however the same could not be said... He had worked far too closely with Celestine & Minerva to ever be trusted and surely they'd imprison him on the spot.

Not only that but even if he did manage to convince them otherwise, he'd still be at their mercy...

And so this forced Drosselymeyer to have to say goodbye to his remaining friends... and the love of his life. Queen Velvet gave him your pendant (the one he's wearing to remember her by) and disappeared along with the rest of the magic folk. Becoming their de facto leader...and this how magic pretty much left the galaxy!

~

But unbeknownst to both of them, she was Velvet was pregnant with their daughter. Originally, she believed it to be King Argyle's child... but soon, the baby appeared to have mouse ears... Knowing the dangers of what would happen to their daughter. Using the magic of the crystal shard, she had to use a magic ribbon to conceal her ears.

The one Ribbon wears now... however, this was not enough for Velvet... lucky for her, King Argyle was not long for this world. Fritz (who never liked King Argyle) took this as an opportunity to get his sister out there! However, before she left, she made sure that Ripple would inherit the throne and not have to take a husband to get it. (Ripple was the child of King Argyle's first wife, who he had divorced...)

Ripple didn't take to Queen Velvet leaving very well..., not knowing the true reason why she left. But that's a story for another day... Ripple's mother had died giving birth to her, (her dad died in the war), so she was mainly raised by her Grandma Velvet & Great Uncle Fritz... however, after they died, she ended up moving in with Queen Ripple, her aunt.

Despite Queen Ripple being kind... Ribbon lost only two people who knew of her secret. And for some reason, she could never truly trust her estranged aunt... despite how much Ripple trying to fill that mother role... something just felt off.

However, with her Grandfather, she felt an instant connection with him and was very quick to accept him. And Drosselmeyer was very taken by his granddaughter planning to make her all the toys.

And his Nephew Daroach~

So, back to Daroach's part in this... Daroach was born in the safety of Bremman. However, he had a great curiosity outside the astral belt. Drosselymeyer wouldn't allow it and warned him of the dangers outside, which was a constant fight between the two of them.

Despite living in safety in the back of his mind... he couldn't help but regret that he didn't fight to stay more. And the fact that Daroach kept reminding him of his guilt... And couldn't help but be upset...

So after the worst fight they ever had, Daroach stole Triple Star & his uncle's cane. Using them to sense when the astral belt would open, believing that he could time it perfectly and come right back before anyone would notice... WRONG!

Despite his flawless plan... the very act of stealing Triple Star & his uncle's cane made him unworthy of reentering the "Bermuda Triangle..." and it blasted him away, unable to return on time. It was during his stay that he realized how unwelcoming the outside world was to his kind...He turned to thievery to survive, but he made friends, and eventually, they formed the Squeak Squad.

However, he wasn't just thieving for fun... Daroach had figured out that they could use the Sacred items of the Ancients. Like Galaxia, Triple Star, the master crown, the grail, etc. To find Bremman again... pitching it to the Squeak Squad as some sort of "Promised land..." This is why the stole treasures in the hope they'd find these artifacts...

Unbeknownst that, they could have just asked Sir Arthur... who was one the creators of " the Bermuda Triangle..." (but hey, they didn't, know and nobody asked him, LMAO... moving on!) They eventually do find it... leading to Daroach's reunion with his dear uncle... who finally got to meet his granddaughter Ribbon...

Daroach & Ribbon are very close by the time they find out they're actually family. Which is why Drosselmeyer isn't as mad as he should be... of course, he gets brownie points on that front. But best believe he gave Daroach & the Squeak Squad an earful.

Reconciling with Daroach and also accepting the fault he had in their fight as well. Realizing how much he missed out on meeting his daughter... at the very least he got to meet his grand baby.

~

And that's Ribbon's fairy tale mix her mouse plays such a big role in her character. I hope the Nutcracker mix is too farfetched I thought I saw an opportunity to expand Ribbon's character...I can't go into detail with all the things because (spoilers), but I really did want to showcase Drosselyer's connection with Ribbon and show off what I was working with. And I just love her little mouse ear I just had to!

Originally, they did follow the roles of the Nutcracker tale... it felt like I was relying too much on the story itself. This gave me a chance to flesh Ribbon out more... giving Ribbon a chance to relate to Kirby and the gang more... feeling like an outsider in your own home.

However, this does come into question... what about Queen Ripple, you see, King Argyle's first wife abandoned and divorced him was none other than Queen Pirilpat (Ripple's mom)... so those who are familiar with the Nutcracker story know who exactly this character is... AND SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST!

I hope you guys enjoy this lore drop, have a great day & stay tuned!

Meta knight's "thats cringe" thanslates to: "Such foolish desire! Once there is a mirror world alter ego of you, it does not leave you alone. It is a curse for eternity. One must imagine what life would be like without a mirror world counterpart, only such preposterous person would want such things happening to them"

For the last day of spring break, I give you: more Kirby art!

It has taken over my brain to a startling degree, akin to what happened with Minecraft and only a few other fandoms.

Based on that data, it looks like this will be a permanent member of my strong interests, just like they are. :D
