Shantae

Shantae, also known as Guardian Genie and Half Genie Hero, is the titular main protagonist from the Shantae series.
== Charactah Account ==
A half-genie and the guardian genie of Scuttle Town, Shantae works tirelessly to thwart the plans of the nefarious lady-pirate, Risky Boots, and anyone who would threaten the world.
As the Guardian Genie of Scuttle town, Shantae lives in a lighthouse by the sea where she can spot incoming ships and trouble. During the events of the first game, she is portrayed at the beginning as young and somewhat naïve. In addition, her strong sense of justice drives her to help people in need. She chases Risky Boots across the map in order to stop her plans and has a strong enmity for the pirate as a result.
Slightly shy, Shantae is initially afraid of the citizens of Scuttle Town discovering her status as a half-genie. In addition, she often puts herself down; believing that only being half-genie is not good enough. After being tricked by Risky near the end of the game and subsequently thwarting her plans, she overcomes her insecurity and shyness and comes to terms with these anxieties, and is happy that the townsfolk still accept her.

== Trivia ==
* Shantae, Risky Boots, and Harmony are all voiced by Cristina Vee.
* Shantae appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as both a Spirit and a Mii Fighter Costume.
* Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug from Miraculous Ladybug, another character Cristina Vee voices, shares many similarities with Shantae:
** Both are heroines that use magic to call upon animal-like powers.
** Both are considered "klutzes" and are often late to events.
** Both possess abilities that let them undo large amounts of collateral damage at once - Shantae with her wish-granting and Marinette with her Magical Ladybug technique.
* Shantae using her long ponytail like a whip to fight bears a certain resemblance to Jeannie, the genie girl who uses her smaller red ponytail while using her magic to move her head, where the distinctive crackle of the whip is heard.
