Kanya

Villain Overview

“	I'M NO PUPPET OF CURSA'S! I'VE GOT MY OWN PLANS FOR THOSE SPARKS, AND CURSA ISN'T A PART OF IT!	„
	~ Kanya

Kanya is the titular main antagonist of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope - The Last Spark Hunter.

She was the leader of the Spark Hunters after Edge betrayed Cursa, but she too turned against her and begins her own plans.

Personality

Kanya is very evil, stubborn and incredibly insane, as shown when she laughs evilly and when her mouth pulls up into an evil grin similar to a Chain Chomp. She is also shown to be free willed despite being a created being and being a subordinate to someone else. Even the mere mention of her own creator brings out her hot-tempered side and will cause her to blow her top. She instead seeks to be her own ruler and her fleeing to Melodic Gardens to build her machines has her planning to use them to usurp Cursa's place for herself, which made her more megalomaniacal.

Kanya is not easily intimidated by her first defeat at the hands of the heroes as she was using the Proto Mecha King Bob-omb for field testing and is impressed by how it was destroyed though it was because she didn't expect it to beat the heroes and recognized the machine for what she intended it for. She is also immensely sadistic, which is shown when she imprisoned Dorrie and taunts Allegra about the missing creature, knowing of their friendship, which gave her the prompt to leave the heroes to check up on it. She isn't above being a Spark Hunter, but rather than bringing Sparks to Cursa, she instead intends to use them as power sources for her machinery against their wills, with Cryodash being one of the known victims.

History

Kanya was created by Cursa to be the leader of the Spark Hunters after Edge went rogue, but the moment she has a deranged complex and having the thought of being Cursa's minion unimpressed her, she turns against her and the other Spark Hunters, gains followers of some of Cursa's forces and set up a base of operations on Melodic Gardens. She soon began building her Mecha Bob-omb army to succeed her coup against Cursa and rule the galaxy.

Mario and his friends meet with Kanya with Edge not knowing who she is, and Kanya reveals that she was created after her betrayal and reveals having her own plans. She distracts Allegra away as she sends Proto Mecha King Bob-omb to fight the heroes and despite its defeat, Kanya shows impression of this and leaves.

It was also revealed that Allegra's pet is a Dorrie who Kanya imprisoned and set up as a trap for the heroes to fight while piloting Mecha King Bob-Omb. Unfortunately for Kanya, Mecha King Bob-Omb short-circuits from the damage it sustained and launched her and itself into space, ending her corrupting influence on Melodic Gardens for good.

Trivia

In the main game, there are four statues of the Spark Hunters found during the battle sequences of Cursa's stronghold, and only one of them is broken which happens be Kanya's. This foreshadows her role in the DLC.
Kanya can be seen as a much darker reflection of Edge, as they were both created and given free wills by Cursa for the purpose of being leaders of the Spark Hunters only for them to turn against it and go their separate ways. Edge is fully aware of Cursa's cruel nature with it absorbing the energy of the Sparks, who are obviously children adopted by Rosalina, and puts in effort to redeem the Spark Hunters, though unsuccessful and ends up leaving and joining Mario and co to save the Sparks and doing so out of the good of her heart and accepted her new friends and allies into her life while Kanya rebels only because she hated being Cursa's underling and wanted to do her own thing, but she wanted to use the Sparks for her own selfish gain and her desire to overthrow her creator was merely pragmatic as she wanted to rule the galaxy with terror and she abandons the Spark Hunters as well showing that she never had any affection for them the way Edge did. Kanya is an example of the person Edge would have ended up becoming like had she chosen not to redeem herself or become a better person.
