Hokay, here we goes again. This here chickodee is Shantae Ondine. Last name sound familiar? NO?! Okay, you stink...... moving right along, then. Shantae is the daughter of Siris Ondine and Neptay Aquarius, two of the main characters in my big ol' fantasy series "The Intrepids". She is the main female character in the new generation type series that I've been planning out. I'm not gonna call it "Neo Intrepids", "Intrepids NEXT", and certainly not "Intrepids Z" or, in fact I may not call it anything new and just let it continue as the next part of the first series.

I originally had planned for Siris himself to use a quarterstaff, but when I redesigned his outfit to look both "wizardy" and "warriory", I decided that it didn't fit anymore and gave him a big ol flachion scimitar sword. So needless to say I had some leftover desires to make a quarterstaff fighter, and liking Kilik from Soul Calibur as I do only strengthened this. Who better to pick up part of the old design for Siris than his own daughter? She is definitely daddy's little girl in terms of design, and about the only things I took from neptay was the wide hips and the skin color. Oh yeah, and her awesome jacket is kinda like Neptay's, too. She is kind of unoficially a monk, since she was trained combat by Siris and Neptay's friend and fellow Intrepids party member, Tiberis. Seeing as how she has no children of her own, and probably never will (or we'll just never know about it), I thought that I'd give Shantae the honor of carrying on her teachings.

Color wise I gave her Indigo (for her jacket) and mint (for her bandages) as her two main clothing choices. Her hair is the same color as Siris's, and as I said before, her skin color was taken from Neptay. I've always wanted to draw her with a humongous pony tail (or a "horse tail" as I've taken to calling it), in fact, most of her design was set in my mind a long time ago. Even her staff is always how I wanted Siris's to be, with the addition of some amythist gems on the ends like on Siris's falchion. One more thing, Shantae is neither a user of magic nor healing powers, but she is one hell of a martial artist!
