Risky Boots

Risky Boots, also known as Queen of the Seven Seas, is one of the main characters from the Shantae series.
== Charactah Account ==
The nefarious lady-pirate Risky Boots, Shantae's nemesis, is known throughout Sequin Land for her love of wealth, power, and all shiny things. Risky is an unchallenged and self-appointed 'queen of the Seven Seas', and will caution and toll anyone to think otherwise. Risky is a villain with the skills and luck usually reserved for the good guys.
Capable, dominating, and deadly, Risky isn't afraid to claim what's not hers. She commands an endless army of Tinkerbats who follow her orders without question, building her weapons of war and scavenging the resources that make her schemes become reality.

== Trivia ==
* Risky has some similarities to Captain Syrup, the antagonist of the Wario series, a sub-series of the Super Mario franchise by Nintendo. Both are female pirates who are referred to as the most "dangerous pirate" and "the pirate queen", and have both used the power of a genie in a final boss fight.
* According to Hypno Baron in Pirate Queen's Quest, Risky Boots, despite looking human, is "a creature POSSESSED of DARK MAGIC" partially explaining why her skin is purple. Whether this references the Pirate Master's influence or not remains unknown.
* Her first name is a play on "Risqué," which means "sexually suggestive," likely as a reference to most of the female characters in the Shantae series (including both Shantae herself and Risky) wearing midriff-baring outfits.
* Strangely, Risky's sprites in Risky's Revenge and onward show the sclerae of her eyes to be yellow, rather than white as seen in her portrait art. This is probably a reference to Risky's art from the original Shantae.
** Half-Genie Hero's "Officer Mode" pokes fun at this - she states that her eye color 'varies' when questioned.
* Risky appears as a support spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and as the 1,297th and final spirit in the base game, using her key art from Half-Genie Hero. Said key art is also the basis for one of her portraits in that game.
* She and Shantae (as well as Harmony) are both voiced by Christina Vee.
