Page 130 of the Kirby Art and Style Collection Artbook depicts Queen Sectonia, with her twin scepters, presenting her hierarchy topping beauty to us all!
Queen Sectonia is a beauty-obsessed insectoid monarch and magician, and the primary antagonist of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, making her debut as the final boss of that game in various forms. Queen Sectonia is a power-hungry and half-crazed tyrant who sought to subjugate all of Floralia after gazing for too long into a certain mirror. She first appears in-game after Kirby beats Taranza, who was the queen's loyal servant, and Masked Dedede, who Taranza had been puppeteering. After she is defeated in battle, she combines with the Dreamstalk for her second phase. In The True Arena, this form is replaced with Soul of Sectonia, who has an additional phase. (Wikirby.com)
Queen Sectonia used to more closely resemble Taranza, but parasitized countless hosts and changed her body each time, and eventually used her magic to inhabit the body of a large, lavishly decorated wasp. She bears a primarily blue and yellow-striped face and body, with a pink heart on her thorax. Her size and color scheme reflect the characteristics of the female Joro spider. The Joro spider is associated with the myth of the jorōgumo, a female arachnid yōkai that can shapeshift into a beautiful woman; this likely served as a major source of inspiration for Queen Sectonia, who once resembled a spider and transformed into a more beautiful appearance. Her design might also be a reference to the "wasp waist", a fashion trend that consisted of narrowing the waist through the use of corsets and girdle, named after a petiole (a two-segmented body joined by a thin abdoment) characteristic to wasps.

Page 131 of the Kirby Art and Style Collection Artbook depicts rough sketches of the design process surrounding Queen Sectonia and her second phase.
Queen Sectonia is probably my favourite Boss character in the series, she made me realise that sometimes striving for more than you are can hurt the people around you who love you.
It is good to be authentic, it is good to live independently, but if the people who love you are not hurting you and you try to push them away by purposefully changing yourself into a worse person, and wish to take the world over, and make everyone else feel your disdain for your insecurities, I speak as a Trans Woman, do not do that.
You should practice self love, but you should realise who you are in collaboration with those that love you, and in that process, learn what you love about others, the world, and what it can offer in it's boundless beauty.
