Background

Many years ago, in the Genie Realm lived many Genies, beings that protect the human world, their heroism was recognized while they fell in love with mortal men giving birth to Half-Genies. Sadly, as the ages passed large numbers of Guardian Genies began to disappear from Sequin Land until not one remained. Many folks imagined that they had been captured inside bottles, while others believed that the genies had returned to their own realm, Genie Realm. With the guardians gone, Sequin Land began to fall prey to evil. That is until the young Shantae became Guardian Genie of Scuttle own protecting not only Scuttle town but also all of Sequin land after encounters with Risky Boots.

Powers & Abilities

Able to channel/activate it via dancing, it allows her to make use of magic and magic items, and let's her combat evil spirits/entities. It can grant the wishes of others, but has only done so once. And Shantae uses a separate kind of magic for certain items.
• Magic/Magic Meter: Fuels her magic items and can be used for several different dances, once depleted, magic items and certain dances cannot be used. It allows a variety of items and abilities to be used, normally needing magic vials or green crystals to restore her "Magic". But doesn't deplete when Shantae uses her animal transformations.
