Shantae

Shantae is a half genie from the Shantae series. She first debuted in the game Shantae.

Moveset
Shantae possesses a magic meter next to her character icon. Every time she uses a special attack, that meter will deplete by about 5% each time. The meter passively charges, about 5% every second. If the meter is fully charged, all of her hair whip based attacks will be faster and deal more damage. She can double jump, crawl, wall jump, and wall cling. When wall jumping or clinging, however, Shantae quickly changes into her Monkey form from her games, as she must turn into this form to do these in her games.
