Personality

In Shantae , every bit the Guardian Genie of Scuttle Boondocks, 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 offset equally young and somewhat naïve. In improver, her strong sense of justice drives her to help people in need. She chases Risky Boots beyond the map in society to stop her plans and has a strong enmity for the pirate as a result.

Slightly shy, Shantae is initially agape of the citizens of Scuttle Town discovering her condition every bit a half-genie. In addition, she ofttimes puts herself down; assertive that only being half-genie is non practiced plenty. After existence tricked by Risky virtually 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 take her.

Shantae has a deep care for her adoptive uncle, Mimic, also as her friends Sky and Bolo, and at the end of the first game gives upwards on the risk to savor eternal peace in the Genie Realm in social club to be with them. She also considers the zombie Rottytops as her friend, although Rotty's own attitude towards her, while friendly for the near part, is more ambivalent, as she does not hesitate in claiming she would like to eat Shantae's brains (which Shantae seems to take as a joke).

In Risky's Revenge , she's shown to take grown more confident, enough to believe that she's the only person able to finish Risky Boots and discarding Mimic'southward proposition that Sky and Bolo should go instead. At the end of the game, Shantae is betrayed by Rottytops to Risky Boots in exchange for her brains (although Risky chooses to back down from the deal) and loses her genie powers. She is and so shown to be much less cocky-assured, despite the fact that she manages to defeat Nega-Shantae, which causes Shantae to lose her magic powers. She is then comforted by Bolo, Sky and Mimic, who tell her they will help her protect to Scuttle Boondocks from Risky and other evil forces.

In The Pirate'due south Expletive , Shantae forms a temporary alliance with her nemesis Risky Boots to help end the Pirate Principal, despite not trusting Risky. Over the form of the game, Shantae slowly forms a flake of an zipper to her, request her if she could "join the good guys for one time" and even going as far as saving her life later on. Squid Baron calls Shantae a tomboy at some point. Shantae'due south more unusual habits are revealed during the game's progression; nosotros learn that Shantae accidentally destroyed Sky'southward Library Card once by nibbling on it when she got nervous and that she considers herself a bad office model due to her bad temper and fashion sense. Shantae also appears to have depression self-esteem (mayhap tied to the loss of her magic), as when she was threatened with losing her hair later getting dismissed as Guardian Genie, she says, "They tin can't accept my hair, can they, Uncle? It's all I have left!" At the end, if the player collects all the nighttime magic from Cacklebats and gets the truthful catastrophe to the game, Shantae gets her magic back and is eventually re-hired as Guardian Genie as she was fired in the previous game. After that happens, she is in much higher spirits and appears to accept regained some self-esteem. If the thespian does not collect all the Cacklebats, then Shantae volition not become her magic back, and is forced to hope that Risky will eventually have down the Pirate Master on her own.

In Half-Genie Hero , after getting her part as Guardian Genie dorsum, she is tasked with protecting Scuttle Town from various threats like the Giga Mermaid (who reforms after her boxing), the Barons of Sequin Land, etc. Dissimilar in the previous game, Shantae is a lot more confident this fourth dimension, most likely due to the fact that she got her magic back and is once again a half genie, also as finally being the town's Guardian Genie again. Despite Shantae getting along with her during the events of Pirate's Curse, she yet maintains a strong enmity for Risky due to her being her archenemy as the kickoff thing she says to the pirate is, "Risky Boots! Back to your old tricks, I encounter." Shantae is also shown to have a short fuse at times when dealing with time wasters, such every bit Hypno Businesswoman and Squid Businesswoman's merchandising plot.

In the Friends to the End DLC, Shantae'south magic gets inverted and she becomes Nega-Shantae, who is a chaotic and evil version of Shantae. Fortunately, her friends are able to defeat Nega-Shantae in Shantae'south listen and modify her magic back to normal. Once she is restored, Shantae reveals that she had gotten caught up in trying to be a hero to make up for her human half, but forgot that she could rely on others along the way and rushed things. This is a trait that has pb to disaster before (such as losing her magic in Risky'south Revenge).

In Vii Sirens , Shantae and her friends go to a tropical island resort where they encounter other Half-Genie allies. At the kickoff of the game, Shantae is invited along with the other Half-genies to participate in the Half-Genie Festival. During the performance, yet, the Seven Sirens cutting the lights and use the embrace of darkness to kidnap the other Half-Genies, leaving Shantae solitary onstage once the lights come back, much to the confusion of the audition. The next solar day Shantae begins to feel suspicious, and so she decides to venture into the islands underground terrain to uncover its secrets and come up face-to-face with the Seven Sirens, freeing the other One-half-Genies along the manner, despite her allies (specifically Mimic and Sky, though her dialogue implies that Bolo doesn't want her to disappear either) forbidding her to get in an endeavour to protect her. This is a good testify of Shantae's determination - unlike others, Shantae is not willing to sit around and expect for problems to be solved on their ain. She is determined to help those in demand, even if it means putting herself in harm's way.

Shantae'south Parents

It is mentioned several times that she doesn't know who her parents are, only that her female parent was a genie. Although she's willing to explore her genie side, hoping that it will bring her closer to her mother, she turns down the genies' offering to stay in the Genie Realm at the end of the first game, and at the stop of Risky'southward Revenge is shown expressing sadness as being fifty-fifty farther from her one-half-genie nature (and later on her mother) after having lost her magic powers. It is strongly implied in the events of Pirate's Curse that the mysterious Warrior she meets inside the Hamlet of Lost Souls is none other than the spirit of her father, who went into the land of the dead to search for his daughter but never returned. Neither Shantae nor the Warrior himself seem to realize the possible connexion.

Creation

Shantae's appearance in working mock-ups ca. 1997

In 1994, equally Matt Bozon was still engaged with his futurity wife Erin, she got a flash of inspiration while coming back from her camp counsellor days, and created the character of Shantae, named afterward ane of the campers. Later on on, Matt Bozon asked her what she would come upwardly with if she was to create a video game grapheme. She disappeared, and when going later on her after some time, he constitute her working on sketches of a character, Shantae, in dancing poses.^[two] Matt Bozon liked the thought and fleshed out the background and mythology surrounding the character.

Matt Bozon has provided two contradictory versions of the creation of the Hair Whip. In the first i, he stated that at the time, Erin had very long hair and Matt would often take a accident in his face each time she turned around, which inspired him for Shantae's trademark attack. Still, he later stated that Erin'southward starting time sketches of Shantae already featured the Hair Whip.^[two] Erin also came up with the idea that the character could utilize dances to conjure animals or charm them.^[3] An archived version of WayForward's site from 1997 shows that it was indeed one of the original points of her magics.^[four] It was later refined equally the transformation dances.^[3]

The archived version of WayForward'southward site also depicts Shantae with a very different advent, as a brunette with a less manga-ish appearance. She is described as a troubled genie, born without any magic power, although she was capable of hair whipping already.^[iv]

Her catchphrase, "Ret-2-Go", came from a friend of the Bozons who kept using information technology in the blitheness clean up team for the Warner Bros. movie The Iron Giant to break for lunch. The phrase then reached the Shantae squad and ended upwardly as Shantae's catchphrase. In Matt Bozon's vision, Shantae uses it because she thinks information technology's cool only her friends actually can't stand it (although other characters accept used it in-universe).^[ii]
