Origin: Shantae Series

Age: 18

Classification: Half-Human/Half-Genie, Belly Dancer

Kokonoe: Many years ago, in the location known as Sequin Land, there was an all female race of genie's. These genie's were Guardian Genies who protected many towns and places within the land for many years.

Junko: Eventually they settled down with human men, started banging them, and created a whole generation of half genie's. Of course, though, like any parent in fiction, they left their children.

Kokonoe: Among the children left behind, was the new guardian of Scuttle Town, Shantae.

Junko: Shantae's a good one too. Her main weapon is her hair!

Junko: She can use her hair like a whip. It can send enemies flying back, break through metal, and move heavy stone. And she's fast enough to whip her hair 6 to 7 times in one second without getting whiplash... somehow.

Kokonoe: Shantae also possesses the ability to use magic.

Kokonoe: Being a half genie, Shantae can make use of genie magic, which she can activate via dancing.

Junko: Yeah, she can do way more than just grant a few wishes. She can also use Revive Dance.

Junko: Which allows her to preform a dance that uses magic to heal her. There's an upgraded version called Super Revive Dance that heals her faster but uses up a lot more magic.

Kokonoe: Then there's her Obliteration Dance.

Kokonoe: A quick dance that one-shot's almost all of her opponents with a powerful, invisible blast of magic.

Junko: It's so beautiful and can make her opponents explode into a thousand musical notes! Where do I get one?!

Kokonoe: Anyway, that's not all Shantae can do with her magic.  She can also use it to transform different types of animals. Like her Monkey Dance that turns her into a monkey.

Junko: Aww, it looks so adorable... but what can it do?

Kokonoe: As a monkey, Shantae can move faster, jump higher, and climb up walls. She also has tiny claws she can attack her opponents with, as well as a move called Monkey Bullet, which let's her spring off walls at a great speed. This can be used to jump from wall to wall or to attack enemies head on.

Junko: Huh. Well she also has the Elephant Dance that turns her into an elephant!

Junko: In this form, Shantae is larger, slower, and can barely jump, but she can easily smash through metal crates and move ridiculously heavy objects. She can also use Elephant Stomp, which can crush stones beneath her as well as enemies. It also creates a small shockwave that harms enemies around her.

Kokonoe: Then there's the Spider Dance, which turns her into an Arachne.

Kokonoe: In this form, Shantae can climb up walls and crawl on the ceiling. She can shoot webs and attack by shooting acidic venom at her opponents.

Junko: Then there's her Harpy Dance, which turns her into a Harpy.

Junko: In this form, Shantae can fly fast enough to get out a volcano while it's erupting, so about 40 miles per hour. She can also attack using her talons, which are strong enough to destroy metallic enemies. Hell, she can even shoot feather projectiles that can smash open vases and harm enemies, though the feathers are a little weak.

Kokonoe: And there's her mermaid dance that turns her into a mermaid.

Kokonoe: This form is great at swimming and can get around underwater fairly quickly. She can also use Mermaid Bubbles, a technique that allows her to shoot explosive bubble projectiles that destroy rocks, large metal pipes, or just her enemies in general.

Junko: There are also transformations she can get into without dancing. This is only possible with her fusion coins.

Junko: Special magic coins made from Fusion stones given to her by other half genie's and allows her to transform more instantaneously.

Kokonoe: Her first transformation is Dash Newt.

Kokonoe: A form given to her thanks to the Newt Fusion coin, this form can basically do everything her monkey form can do. The only difference is she can come in and out of it faster and it doesn't have small claws.

Junko: She also can turn into Gastro Drill.

Junko: She has access to this form thanks to the Drill Fusion coin. This allows her to fight underground and attack her opponents with her drill-like head. Though she can only travel through soft surfaces like sand or dirt. Nothing too hard.

Kokonoe: And there's her Bonkrt Tortoise form.

Kokonoe: Given access thanks to the Tortoise coin, this form can smash through stone by spinning or smashing into them. She can also do a spindash and launch herself into her opponents.

Junko: What's with all these Sonic references? I wonder if they mean anything...

Kokonoe: Anyway, while all these transformations are impressive, they get even more terrifying when she uses dark magic and turns into Nega Shantae.

Junko: The perfect genie! Sadistic, violent, and bloodthirsty, this form of Shantae will kill even her friends! She can stay in this form for hours if left unchecked and can use her powers like she never could in base form!

Kokonoe: Right. Either way, Shantae is good physically as well.

Kokonoe: She's strong enough to lift 1000 pounds and can jump and leap long distance.

Junko: She's also pretty fast.

Junko: She's constantly dodging bullets, cannonballs, and has even dodged lightning. Plus she's durable enough to have explosions constantly blown in her face.

Kokonoe: Still, Shantae has weaknesses of her own. She can be a bit naive and her ponytail can be cut off just like regular hair.

Junko: Be it with scissors, a jigsaw, or a goat chewing on it, once that hairs off, she can't use it. Oh and she can be left vulnerable when dancing.

Kokonoe: Not to mention that if she is too overwhelmed by dark magic, she can go unconscious instead of going into her Nega transformation.

Junko: Still, with all this power, Shantae has defended the town from monsters, armed soilders, pirates, and even large, supernatural threats on a near daily basis! Now if only that dumb mayor would stop firing her on the spot.

Shantae: Gonna have to hair 'em till it hurts!
