Hougetsu

Hougetsu is a Waddle Dee that assisted in the Royal Guard Science Team, helping to open up the Subspace Gate. They have a calm demeanor, though they hide in dark/cursed thoughts for the most part.

Appearance
Hougetsu is a Waddle Dee with slightly paler skin than usual and a white bandana covered with various pink hearts. Their cheeks are heart shaped as well, with pink eyes. Their parasol resembles the Chumbrella from Kirby Star Allies, having a white-pink pattern with hearts of the opposite color on each section.

Backstory
Hougetsu was presumably hired by Jiggly to help assist in the creation of the Subspace Gate in their top secret underground lab, as they assisted the chief scientist Melon and the other scientist Creeper. But other than that, Hougetsu's background is shrouded by the unknown.

Abilities
Hougetsu is a supportive type character, being able to summon hearts to throw them at teammates to restore health, use his parasol to shield herself and others, and throw hearts that cause enemies to attack their allies. Hougetsu hides strange antennae underneath their bandana that when it's taken off, gives him more strength and attacks though he becomes slightly corrupted during it.
