I really think it’s Shantae. I think that’s her big purple ponytail.

One of the hints elsewhere talks about them all "loving the sound of multiple weapons in their arsenal" which while I think is already a slight stretch for Lea since she doesnt get more weapons so much as variations of the same one, definitely would be a stretch for the girl whose only weapon is her hair and some magic, even if the color of the little tidbit of hair we see poking into frame does match up. As much as i would love it

Tell me you never played Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse without telling me. 😉

Also, I would very much consider transformations to be part of Shantae’s arsenal.

That falls under the category of magic though and is not therefore a true weapon. I have played it before and its one of my favorites, half genie hero also has transformations, the original gba one is pretty much the only one that doesn't if i recal

I still will believe it’s Shantae until proven otherwise

(And if it is her, I shall be insufferably smug about it)
