History Characters / KirbyHaltmannWorksCompany

* VacuumMouth: When Star Dream Soul OS merges with the Access Ark, it gains the ability to use a powerful inhale to suck in meteors and then exhale them back at the Halberd. When it's defeated a third time, it inhales Kirby to fight the core.

* AffablyEvil: Exactly how evil she is remains up for debate, but she tends to be pretty polite, if a little condescending, whenever she encounters Kirby, displays a NothingPersonal attitude about antagonizing him, and maintains a GracefulLoser perspective towards all of her losses.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist. To [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Queen Sectonia]]. While Queen Sectonia was corrupted into evil by Dark Meta Knight, Star Dream is TheCorruptor themself to President Haltmann. Queen Sectonia willingly fused herself with the dreamstalk to become a BotanicalAbomination hellbent on sucking the life out of Floralia and all of Popstar. Star Dream forces Haltmann into fusing his soul with them and becomes a MechanicalAbomination upon fusing with the Access Ark, with the goal of annihilating all organic life in the universe.

* CallingParentsByTheirName: [[spoiler:Inverted. Due to him seeing her as a secretary and nothing more, she's practically forced to address her own father as "Mr. Haltmann" at all times. Even as she betrays him, she still keeps up the charade when she steals Star Dream's program controller.]]

* FormalCharactersUseKeigo: In the Japanese version, she speaks with excessively polite mannerisms when in "business mode", which is contrasted by her saying things that would never be spoken in a polite context. For example, her {{catchphrase}}「くじょ されて くださいませ！」 translates in its most basic form as "I will exterminate you!", but with the language used, figuratively translates to something like "Please allow me to exterminate you, if you may!" When she isn't in "business" mode, such as [[spoiler:after Star Dream goes haywire]], she uses more casual language.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Taranza of the previous 3DS ''Kirby'' game. Both characters are AffablyEvil [[spoiler:[[TheDragon Dragons]]]] who constantly harass Kirby throughout the game, but Susie uses science and technology while Taranza relies on magic. Both also [[spoiler:brainwash/control Kirby's main ally in the game to fight him]]. Both of them were also once close to their now-cold and ruthless superiors, although while Taranza was [[spoiler:[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom partially responsible]] for Sectonia's StartOfDarkness]], Susie was only a victim of circumstance [[spoiler:in losing Haltmann's favor, which was caused and furthered due to their interactions with Star Dream]]. In the end, while Taranza pulled a HeelFaceTurn after being rejected by his boss, Susie aids Kirby primarily out of pragmatism and her interests continue to remain misaligned from his in the end, and while ''Star Allies'' shows she's gotten a ''bit'' better about her morality, she's still not quite tamed entirely, whereas Taranza [[HeelFaceTurn is no longer an enemy]] and only wishes to see his queen once again.

When she isn't in "business" mode, such as [[spoiler:after Star Dream goes haywire]], she uses more casual language.

* AmbiguousRobots: Despite being called Haltmann's daughter, she looks very little like him or any other confirmed organic character for that matter. President Haltmann appears to be the same or a similar species to Chef Kawasaki, having the same physique with the addition of hair. Both of them also have bit-crushed voices, as if they're speaking through a phone speaker. The closest characters Susie resembles are the Three Mage Sisters, except for her much paler complexion and notable lack of a neck. A lack of information on her mother, if she has one, doesn't help with the ambiguity.

** This even applies to her appearance in ''Star Allies'', where her motives vary between versions of the game; in the English, French, Dutch, Italian, German and Spanish localizations, she's stated to still be interested in mechanizing other planets, but in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, she instead to desires to bring happiness to the world through the use of science ([[FauxAffablyEvil and exterminate the "uncivilized"]]).

* CallingParentsByTheirName: [[spoiler:Due to him seeing her as a secretary and nothing more, she's practically forced to address her own father as "Mr. Haltmann" at all times. Even as she betrays him, she still keeps up the charade when she steals Star Dream's program controller.]]
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:After Star Dream takes off, she mentions that she wanted to "teach the old man a lesson into the bargain" or, in the Japanese and Korean versions, "wake him up." The meaning of this becomes a bit clearer with the knowledge of [[LukeYouAreMyFather her backstory.]]]]

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Taranza of the previous 3DS ''Kirby'' game. Both characters are AffablyEvil [[spoiler:[[TheDragon Dragons]]]] who constantly harass Kirby throughout the game, but Susie uses science and technology while Taranza relies on magic. Both also [[spoiler:brainwash/control Kirby's main ally in the game to fight him]]. Both of them were also once close to their now-cold and ruthless superiors, although while Taranza was [[spoiler:[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom partially responsible]] for Sectonia's StartOfDarkness]], Susie was only a victim of circumstance [[spoiler:in losing Haltmann's favor, which was caused and furthered due to their interactions with Star Dream]]. In the end, while Taranza pulled a HeelFaceTurn after being rejected by his boss, Susie aids Kirby primarily out of pragmatism and her interests continue to remain misaligned from his in the end, and while ''Star Allies'' shows she's gotten better about her morality, she's still not quite tamed entirely, whereas Taranza more or less is fully good now.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Her Japanese, Korean, and Chinese Guest Star descriptions provide two quotes from her: "Through the power of science, I offer family harmony and a happy life..." and "I will exterminate the uncivilized!", suggesting that she's putting a friendly mask on her intent to conquer other worlds.

* HiddenDepths: According to WordOfGod, her hobbies are karaoke and piano.

* PunnyName: The Japanese language pronounces her name as "Suuji", which means "digit", fitting with the technological theme of her group. WordOfGod says that they also wanted a more "foreign" sounding real name for her to suit the setting, and other candidates included Beatrice and Melissa.
* RayGun: She uses one in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies''.
* ReformedButNotTamed: Susie might be reformed, but she's not '''that''' reformed. In ''Planet Robobot'', she starts off as a villain and then in the ending, she decides to stand up to Star Dream and teamed up with Kirby afterwards. In ''Star Allies'', it's quite likely that she still retains her traits from the previous game but she's still well-meaning and polite; and while the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions clarify that she now aims to spread smiles with the power of science, she still will exterminate the "savages" that dare to get in the way of said goal (though that might be referring to the enemies she faces in her adventures).
* RobotGirl: Has this appearance even though [[spoiler:she isn't actually a robot]].
* RoseHairedSweetie: She has pink hair and is, although villainous, quite affable and polite about it. It gets more straightforward in ''Star Allies'' where she now aims to use science to bring smiles to others, even if she's a bit aggressive about it.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hers is ice cream, which is no doubt why there's an entire factory of it built in Overload Ocean, her debut area. She also has a thing for Gem Apples, with her spawned food in ''Star Allies'' being a Gem Apple sorbet.

* AndIMustScream: Haltmann's conscious mind is still aware even after Star Dream assimilates his body, forcing him to suffer constant agony as nothing but a disembodied soul trapped within Star Dream's databanks. During the fight with Star Dream Soul OS, every major blow to Star Dream will let the player hear Haltmann's voice screaming out in agony in the background. We even get to see his haunted final thoughts in the pause screen during the final battle, at which point Haltmann has ironically regained his memory of having a daughter and the reason why he was abusing Stat Dream to begin with. At that point, the [[CessationOfExistence erasure of his existence]] when Star Dream's OS eventually rules his soul to be redundant almost seems like a MercyKill.

* ScatterbrainedSenior: He's lost all memories of his daughter Susie thanks to overuse of Star Dream, which [[BondCreatures interfaced with his brain]] and slowly ate away at his memory in the process.

* TragicKeepsake: Unseen in the game itself, but a ''Nintendo Dream'' interview revealed that a treasured item of his is a golden pocket watch that has stopped working at a certain point. No point for guessing what [[StartOfDarkness that time]] might have been. The [[AdaptationExpansion novel adaption]] actually did end up using the watch as a plot point, though.
* TragicVillain: Probably the saddest villain in the series.

* KilledOffForReal: Many other ''Kirby'' villains are shown to have survived their seemingly ([[DefeatEqualsExplosion and often explosive]]) defeats after their debut, like Magolor, Marx and Dark Meta Knight. Not Haltmann: his body is taken over by Star Dream, and his soul is subsequently [[CessationOfExistence deleted from the supercomputer's databanks]], shortly before Star Dream itself is destroyed. Years after ''Planet Robobot'', Haltmann hasn't reappeared in any living form in the series.

* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: All of them have yellow eyes.

* KnightOfCerebus: Star Dream starts a trend of ''Kirby'' villains who want to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy everything]], being followed by [[SinisterMinister Lord Hyness]] in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' [[spoiler:and [[TheAssimilator Fecto Forgo]] in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'']].

* InterfaceSpoiler: Like Sectonia before him, you can get his sticker (by collecting all Code Cubes) before you even meet him.

* GoldColoredSuperiority: Haltmann owns a HoppingMachine which, according to Dedede Clones & D3's pause description, is made of pure gold.

* MindControlEyes: Once Star Dream takes control of him, his eyes turn yellow.

* PreFinalBoss: Is the last boss before Star Dream in ''Planet Robobot''.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Not even counting its "eradicate all organic life" plan in the main story, Star Dream offhandedly mentions that summoning Galacta Knight may result in him going on to destroy ''a planet or two'', but is worth the risk to test the power of the "new admin", Meta Knight (in the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish versions)/satisfy its new owner's desire for a good fight (Japanese and Korean versions). Even President Haltmann, the previous admin and BigBad, forbade it from doing this... but unfortunately, Meta Knight isn't President Haltmann.

* BFS: Mecha Knight+ can make his sword larger and increase the range of his attacks or give some effects to his attacks, such as [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] for his Spin Slash. Stock Mecha Knight can do the exact same thing, though much deadlier.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: You'd expect that the portly CEO of a MegaCorp wouldn't be much of a fighter. Haltmann squashes that expectation as soon as he enters his Executive Suit.

* CuteAndPsycho: Its third phase has the Galactic Nova's face as its own, but its still hellbent on eradicating all organic life.
