Princess Shokora

Princess Shokora is a character from . Long prior to the events of the game, Shokora was the princess of an unidentified kingdom. One day, while resting inside of a Golden Pyramid, Shokora was cursed by a being known only as the Golden Diva. The curse put on Shokora transformed her into a small black cat, though she was still able to escape the pyramid and explore it and the surrounding lands freely. After this Golden Pyramid is rediscovered by modern society, Shokora makes contact with Wario, a treasure hunter aiming to steal the pyramid's treasures.
The Golden Diva put a curse on Princess Shokora some time prior to the events of Wario Land 4, which transformed her into a cat. In addition to this form however, Princess Shokora seems capable of transforming into a variety of different characters. One such form is the Item Shopkeeper, who also displays this shape-shifting ability by transforming into some of the different "items" that Wario can purchase, namely Black Dog, Large Lips, Big Fist, and Black Dragon.
Depending on the amount of treasure chests Wario collected throughout the game, Princess Shokora's human form will change once she is freed from the curse. These forms are:
* Bratty Baby Princess (0-1 chests) - This appearance is that of a toddler with a design similar to that of Baby Peach, who would debut four years later.
* Hideous Princess (2-5 chests) - This appearance greatly resembles Wario's. Notable differences include a different wardrobe, the Hideous Princess' hair being long and messy, and a lack of a moustache.
* Cheeky Young Princess (6-11 chests) - This appearance is that used for promotional artwork of Wario Land 4. This teenage princess has long straight hair, and wears a gown with ornate white accents decorating it.
* True Princess (12 chests) - Implied by its name to be Princess Shokora's true appearance. The eldest of Shokora's forms, this design has short hair that reaches to her chin, and wears a short dress and cape.
All four of Princess Shokora's forms will kiss Wario on the cheek before ascending to heaven in the game's epilogue. The way the treasure hunter reacts does however differ depending on the form she takes. Wario will be disgusted or confused when kissed by the Bratty Baby and Hideous Princesses, and instead be pleased and embarrassed when kissed by the Cheeky Young and True Princesses.
