Sectaranza

Sectaranza

Sectaranza is the Het ship between Taranza and Queen Sectonia from the Kirby fandom.

Canon
Taranza and Sectonia are said to have been childhood friends, with Taranza having romantic feelings towards her, which lead to him stealing the Dimension Mirror, and gifting it to her one-day, Sectonia gazed into the mirror everyday which lead to her becoming corrupted by the mirror's influence and taking over Floralia. During the events of Kirby Triple Deluxe, Sectonia orders Taranza to kidnap the hero of the 'Lower World', causing Taranza to mistake Dedede, for being Dreamland's hero, after Kirby defeated Masked Dedede in Royal Road, Taranza in desparation summons Sectonia to bring him aid, with her instead shooting him away with a blast of magic. After the first phase of the Flowered Sectonia boss fight, Kirby seemingly defeats Sectonia for the second time, but is then grabbed by her vines and is almost crushed to death, but before the queen can kill him, Dedede and Taranza arrive to Kirby's aid as Taranza realizes that his former friend is now a dangerous menace who could probably kill everybody if kept alive, after Sectonia's death, Taranza as shown in Kirby Star Allies (mainly his Dream Friend DLC Trailer and Guest Star mode) is shown to be very heartbroken by her death, but is presumably attempting to move on, as shown in the many easter eggs in Kirby Star Allies title, file, and mode select screens.

Fanon
Sectaranza is a fairly popular ship within the Kirby fandom, presumably to it's tragic nature and status as potential AU bait (although the bait hasn't been taken yet), usually when in her Spider form, Sectonia is portrayed as being Taranza's adorably possibly depressed girlfriend with body image issues with Taranza being the good little fellow who cheers her up the most, while in her Bee form, Sectonia is either portrayed more sassily or occasionally as an abusive dictator. Any slight implications of lore being instantly eaten up in desparation of more love being given to the spider & bee/double spider duo.

Trivia
Sectonia's spider form looks nearly identical to Taranza, right down to the clothes she wears, which can imply that she possibly gave her old clothes to Taranza.

One of Taranza's Dream Friend attacks is an attack called "Queen's Phantom", where he summons a shadowy apparition of Sectonia in her bee form, which then attacks the area around them with lightning.

There is a species of Wasp known as the Tarantula Wasp which is known to eat spiders, which Sectonia may have been based on.
