The Empress (A Hat in Time)

Background

The Empress is the primary antagonist of the Nyakuza Metro DLC for A Hat in Time. She appears in the DLC's new chapter, Nyakuza Metro. As the major antagonist of the chapter, The Empress is often seen belittling Hat Kid and exploiting her need for Time Pieces to add to her own collection. She also generally makes things harder for the player rather than assist them in collecting time pieces, often letting them go do their business in collecting them before sending some of her gang members to take away the time piece.

She is almost always found behind the desk in her personal shop "Le Félin", where she stores away her millions and works her crime ring out of. It is here that she instructs Hat Kid on where to go for the next Time Piece. It also serves as the location where the player is placed after they collect any new Time Piece, as the Empress pays out for the new addition and instructs them to the next Time Piece's location. If Hat Kid attacks The Empress, she will scratch Hat Kid leaving her dead. She still kills you even if you manage to escape.

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Acrobatics (Should be comparable to the likes of Meowjima and other cats of Nyakuza who are naturally acrobatic), Homing Attack & Explosion Manipulation (With homing launcher. Hat Kid has shown to use her stacks of cash as explosives), Distance Negation (If Hat Kid attacks the Empress in her jewelry store, she will retaliate by clawing them, killing them in one hit.
