The Empress

The Empress, she's a tall black and grey cat, although the cat breed is unknown, she has white hair, eyes yellow and blue, she has a scar on her left eye, she wears a black, fur-lined coat that ends in a deep red, three necklaces, and three rings. She serves as the main antagonist of the Nyakuza Metro DLC of A Hat In Time, and plays a central part in The Timepants Movie and the one who freeze Snatcher (who she didn't know at the time, was innocent)

## Personality

The Empress is shown to be stubborn and greedy, which fits because she's the leader of Nyakuza Metro and steals Hat Kid's time pieces for herself because "they make an quick buck". The Empress even attacks her own Metro Cats if they touch her jewels and warns Hat Kid about it, she even had to use the greediness of the Metro Cats to capture Hat Kid (which luckily, she escapes unharmed).

In the series and movie, The Empress seems to be stubborn due to her fur problem and got angry at Snatcher for stealing her robes (which at the time, she didn't know he was innocent). However, during the movie, The Empress shows that she didn't wanna kill Snatcher but she has to for her own revenge and after the movie she felt bad about thinking Snatcher was the criminal.

## Timepants Series

**Season One**

In Scardey Girl, this is The Empress' first official appearance in the series after the movie. She dressed up as the "Queen Of Hearts", and she talks to Bow Kid (who was dressed up as an cat) and seems to not understand Bow Kid's costume. The Empress was eventually scared off by Serene's demon look.

## Timepants Movie

The Empress plays an huge central part of the movie, she tries to teach Hat Kid about ruling the metro if she passes on, after the small talk The Empress freaks out because her robes were stolen. The next day, The Empress lashes out at Snatcher for thinking he stolen the robes (when in reality it was Queen Vanessa) and after Joshy tries to convince her that he can get the robes back in order to spare Snatcher. After some more convince from Joshy (eventually Hat Kid), The Empress decides that Joshy is on an time-limit where if he doesn't return the robes on time, Snatcher will die and during this time she freezes Snatcher as punishment to prevent him from escaping.

Later on, after Mustache Girl founds out what truly happened she mentions that she'll contact The Empress (who's the highest authority), and prove that Snatcher is innocent, Mustache Girl fails to make it to The Empress as she got captured and eventually turned into an demon by Queen Vanessa. After Joshy and Serene lost The Heartbreaker and seeing Hat Kid telling them what happened to the A Hat In Time dimension when they're gone, Joshy questions about The Empress has to do something about it but due to her being too busy with her fur problem (and with the metro being under ground) she doesn't know what's going on.

Eventually, The Empress shows up to Subcon Forest because it was time's up for Joshy and Serene but luckily Hat Kid distracted her for a while until she had enough and send Hat Kid out of Subcon Forest. After Joshy and Serene showed up and saved Snatcher from being blasted by The Empress, she noticed that her robes were returned safe and sound, the happy ending was cut short because Queen Vanessa soon corrupted The Empress and turned her into an demon. Thankfully, after Joshy saved everyone, The Empress is freed from her curse and stated that she felt bad for not taking Snatcher's word that it wasn't him who stole the robes and apologized to Joshy for making fun of him.

During the end credits, The Empress can be seen waving "goodbye" to Hat Kid as she walks back to the metro.
