'''Zan Partizanne''' is a [[boss]] who made her debut in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. She is described as the Lightning General of [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] (the other two being [[Francisca]] and [[Flamberge]]). She is also the highest-ranking general of the trio, taking orders directly from [[Hyness]], the main antagonist of the game. Like the other two sisters, Zan Partizanne's name is based on the name of [[wikipedia:Partisan (weapon)|the polearm]] she carries.

In between attacks, Zan Partizanne moves via Lightning Dodge to get into position for her next attack.

==Name==
==Name==
Zan Partizanne's name differs from the names of the other two Mage Sisters in both the English and Japanese versions. In English, the two have a single word name that starts with F, and are named after a weapon with no modifications, while in Japanese, both start with フラン (that can be read as both "Fran" or "Flam") and are followed by a word. Due to this, prior to her name reveal, fans speculated that her name would follow the same patterns in the respective languages. Once her real name was announced, it came as a bit of a surprise. Series director [[Shinya Kumazaki]] named her differently on purpose, to surprise the players, make them feel as if she had a different origin from the other two, and make her unique with a really long name.<ref>[https://www.ndw.jp/kirby_02/ Nintendo Dream interview, rough translation: "As the leader of the Three Mage-Sisters, I think people would expect her name to be “Fran-something”, but I wanted to surprise them. I wanted players to imagine that her birth was different from the other two, and I also wanted her to be unique, with a remarkably long and hard to remember name like “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” (laughs).]</ref>
