Shantae is the protagonist of the eponymous jump'n'run series.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Shantae is a curious critter that was born from the union of a female guardian genie and a male human father. Whereas the blood of her former gifts her with potent magical ability (including her trademark skill of transforming into various animals and objects), the latter ensured she didn't end up in a magical lamp as a glorified Pokémon.
As the assigned (half-) guardian genie of Scuttletown, Shantae is supposed to protect the port city from pirate raids and worse. In practice, this usually means she oversleeps and only arrives at the scene after the pirates are already done looting the place and sail off with yet another magical MacGuffin; forcing her to belly-dance right after them while whipping her hair back and forth.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Shantae fought in the porn-themed 8chanmania LXIII, where she fought under the banner of Hatsune Miku. She and Lara Croft had an interesting argument about the rightful ownership of ancient artifacts, but long story short, Shantae didnt make it past the first round.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- While Shantae herself only appeared in one mania, Erin Stout wore a Shantae outfit for the Halloween-themed 8chanmania LXVII.
