The true ruler of the Golden Pyramid and the damsel in distress in Wario Land 4. Long ago she was peacefully laid to rest under the pyramid until the Golden Diva, in her greed, took residence of the pyramid, all of its treasures and cursed the ruins, transforming Shokora into a shape-shifting entity.
She shares some design elements with Princess Peach, having a golden crown, blue eyes, blue sphere earrings, and a pink long dress with puffy short sleeves. She also has long reddish hair (more pinkish in the in-game sprite), wears golden bangles and pink elbow gloves.
Depending on the ending the design Shokora will transform into will differ. In the worst ending she turns into a baby, in the second worst ending she has Wario's ugly face, her second-best ending has her as the princess and her best ending reveals an older, more warrior-like princess with short hair. The second-best ending is seemingly her canonical look, as that's the look that got official art and appears in the newspaper at the beginning of the game. See Danbooru asset #24265333 for a look at every form Shokora can take in the ending.
The word Shokora derives from the French word for "Chocolate"
