What are defining physical traits that make half-genies in Shantae's world stand out from the average person? So far, it seems like they unnatural hair colors, (Not sure about that since the real genie guardians had almond colored hair.) arm cuffs, and dress mostly like what you would expect from a genie.

This has me curious since I plan on drawing that milk-squirting half-genie, so I always want anything I draw to fit into the universe as much as possible.

You forgot the pointed ears.

I need to jot that down on the list too, I wasn't thinking about pointed ears.

So far, it's this :

· Pointed Ears
· Metal Cuffs on Forearms
· Unnatural Hair Colors
· Unusual Magic Ability
· Belly Dancer Outfit? (I really need to Google this stuff!)

Hmm, now this has me curious what ability this mysterious half-genie has herself? It's clearly not hair whipping, maybe she can use her pigtails to spin and glide, like in the older Shantae spec for the PSX/PC?

I would be surprised if our mysterious HG's hair had any ability at all considering what's revealed in Risky's Revenge.

I assumed her hair whip was magic because of what one of the NPCs in the first Shantae says. Twisted Evil

NPC wrote:Is your ponytail magic? I thought only Half-Genies were born with quirky powers like that. I knew a gal who could squirt milk out of her eye. Bet she was a Half-Genie.

Of course, I take what he says with a grain of salt, since it appears to be said with sarcasm, and the logic of Risky's Revenge's end kinda baffles me a bit anyway, so I'm not really sure at this point.
