Youska Chieftain (San-Fran Tag Team)

Youska Chieftain, aka Chip-chan is a San-Francisco slumdog girl possibly born in Crankgatton and the main protagonist of Chip-chan Kick & Shantae: SF Tag-Team!! audio drama. She's a good soldier and master of tactics. Sometimes rages when Shantae calls her Palooka. She is the only-cameo that appeared in Shantae universe.
==Physical Appearance==
According to audio drama plot she is a black asian woman who always caught in trouble but always gets from it untouched. She is fitted by jewelry and gold to the limits. In a Half-Genie (she called it as "Genie-Henshin" as Shantae told her) form acquired from Shantae, she wears Iris or Dahlia bra and swimming panties depending to her outfit: Dahlia or Iris. There is only poster supplied with CD Box with audio drama with her Iris outfit.
Won't tell anyone about her family.
==Personality==
Youska was black asian mulatto girl who is really fond in dancing. She is working in NORAD due to Sopha's convincing request to the higher-ups, so she is actually a kind of secret agent. When met Shantae, she nearly rumbled with her, then realised she was a good friend and possibly her lover. Shantae gave her an ability that allows Youska became half-genie too. She called it "Genie Henshin". Youska got Dahlia Dancer and Iris Dancer titles, one for healing and another for destruction. Youska speaks English but with strong Irish accent, so it confirms her Brito-Irish roots.
Like her video game appearance, Youska is happy and vibe before Seika's death. After Seika died in battle against Stacey, Youska became darker and glum.
After the battle with Sylvester she lost Natsumi who became a vicious villain, but Seika's death finally and irreversible corrupted Youska and spoiled her character, and she never been happy again.
She tried to forget about it but she's been involved in NORAD Operation because of her former friend Sophia Bremerton and Shantae who came in San-Fran to engage Risky Boots.
In San-Fran Tag Team she is the leader of San-Francisco Taskforce Team created by NORAD higher-ups. Don't like when Comms Officer Warrington yelling and cursing on her.
==Relations==
Youska know Seika as her sister but still don't know is she alive because Seika described in the audio drama is from Future. She know Shantae as her "friend-and-foe-in-same-time" and possibly love and hate her simultaneously. She know Sky and Rottytops as her unchangeable friends helped her and Shantae but still feeling lonely. Youska won't tell Shantae about her family but know she had stepmother and stepsister. So, Seika is her stepsister in general. Hated Bolo extremely, at the limits calling him Ungrateful shlung (jap. クソ野郎ばかげた).
==Abilities==
Basically all her abilities are the legacy of Shantae's, except of her special moves and abilities exclusively for her. All her attacks are voiced by her own along during the audio drama.
===Regular===
*Fire Punch - Youska does an ordinary punch, but it's even powerful than ordinary as her hand is charged with a fireball. Youska's favourite trademark move.
*Fire Charge - Youska charges herself with a fire and throws fireball to enemy.
*Fire Breath - Youska screams out and omits out a tight stream of fire from her mouth simultaneously with a scream.
*Belly Dances - like Shantae, she used to dance to perform all techniques except assault (Fire Punch/Charge/Breath). Unlike Shantae's, Youska used Hindustani belly dancing instead of Turkish as in the SFTT audio drama the Indian music plays while Youska's dance scene starts.
*Genie-Henshin - Youska performs a dance special for her own to transform in a Half-Genie and get an outfit. She can't perform Shantae's abilities given to her before she performs that move. All her abilities are depending to her outfit. Activation phrase: "By the powers of Iris and Dahlia... Genie-Henshin Make-Up!".
===Genie-Henshin abilities===
====Shantae-similar====
*Fire whip - variation of Hair Whip but Youska's ponytail also deals fire damage. Example: once she tried to whip one of Tinkerbats armed to teeth, he yelled because he caught fire as heard in audio drama.
*Hairy-copter - Youska uses her ponytail to fly... Once, when saving Shantae while she fell off the cliff at Volcano Island, she literally used her ponytail to fly yelling "Fire whip, spin, spin!!".
*Transformation - same as Shantae's ability, but also she can transform to a battle vehicle (e.g. LAV, Tank or Copter) and even weather phenomenon (ex. Thunder Cloud or Whirlpool).

*Fireblazer - Youska's Fire Breath is more powerful than ordinary. While doing that she screams "Iris Fire Blazer!" (jap. アイリス・ファイヤーブレイザー！)
*Fire Recuperation - Youska consumed enemy's energy to make her Fire Punch more powerful. While doing that she screams "Iris Fire Punch!" (jap. アイリス・ファイアパンチ!)
*Fire Rage - Youska makes her most powerful of her fire blast all around her in a long distance. Consumes all her energy and is a risk of her death. She used it once in the last battle with Sylvester and Risky Boots, shouting "Iris Fire of Rage, move to engage!" (jap. アイリス・ファイア・レイジ、交戦せよ！)
====Dahlia Dancer outfit====
*Recuperation - blasts an energy wave to her nearest ally to heal them while she loses her own health. While doing that she screams "Dahlia Recuperation Make-Up!!" (jap. ダリア回復メイクアップ)

*Wormhole transcuperation - uses enemy's lifepowers to heal herself and her allies like a leech. While doing that she screams "Dahlia Transcuperation Make-Up!!" (jap. ダリア輸血メイクアップ)
===Genie Fusion===
The Genie Fusion is the terminal stage of Genie-Henshin that makes irreversible transformation of half-genie to Guardian Genie without a way back. This ability is to use only in case of emergency. Used by Youska Chieftain when she broke up with Shantae and had to regret that twice over after. Activation phrase: "By the powers of Iris and Dahlia, Genie Fusion Make-Up!!"
==Breakdown with Shantae==

After a massive bloodshed, she realized what she's done and so broke up with Shantae and asked her to leave the city meaning she's strictly not welcome in San-Fran also mentioning NORAD guns aimed on her and will shoot anytime if she don't get back to Scuttle Town.
==Etymology==
Chip-chan is exactly sounds as same as "Chieftain" because Hirohiko Yanagi, the creator of the character planned Youska to be a leading character. Also, there's an reference to the The Ransom of Red Chief, the short story by O'Henry.
