'''Daphne''' is a member of the [[Spark Hunters]] and a boss in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. She is a tall, blue-haired female [[Rabbid]] with a blue bob cut covering her eyes, and wears a dress resembling pink petals, a hood resembling a [[Piranha Plant]]'s upper lip, green shorts, and yellow petal-like boots. Being half plant, she has vine tentacles. Her name is a reference to the {{wp|Daphne|nymph of the same name}} in Greek mythology, who turned herself into a tree to escape {{wp|Apollo}}'s advances. She is similar to [[Pirabbid Plant]], a boss in the previous game, ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', as they are both [[Rabbid]] bosses who have a plant theme and use vines to fight their enemies.

Not much is known about Daphne's personality, though she has been described by Edge as the "downright sneakiest, dirtiest, most devious" of the Spark Hunters, being very cruel and cunning, as shown when she captured three Sparks for Cursa while Midnite and Bedrock came back with none. When Cursa absorbs the energy from the Sparks, Daphne watches excitedly while the others watch worriedly, revealing that Daphne has a sadistic side to her. Later on, she manages to get the drop on Mario and the heroes by faking a transmission from [[Momma]] while disguising as her and traps the heroes in the Darkmess Dimension while taunting Edge.

Daphne is fought in the battle [[The Hunter of the Mesa]]. Like [[Midnite]], Daphne is fought in three phases. She is on top of Momma's Garage at the far end of the battlefield, prompting the heroes to make their way to her before they can attack her. Daphne attacks by shooting two targets at once, and can also use a meteor technique which inflicts the [[Poison (status effect)|Ooze]] Super Effect on nearby targets, as well as damaging nearby cover. Daphne only stays in her starting area; if she is forced to leave it, she can simply climb up to higher cover and return there. Whenever Daphne loses all of her HP, she will cause a solar eclipse, changing the battlefield layout. She can only do this twice, as she is defeated the third time. Daphne is resistant to the Ooze Super Effect.
