Note that the claim her is not that Risky is a zombie, rather shes a different kind of undead much closer to the Pirate Master then anything else. The powerful dark magic Hypnobaron detected is the undeath spell keeping her animated, it explains why she appears visually similar in age to Shantae but dialogue repeatedly has her imply shes older, her weird skin color that has no equal anywhere, and how she could have personal knowledge of Shantaes mother who has been gone from the mortal world for decades at least. At some point Pirate Master used dark magic to turn Risky into something that was not a zombie but also wasn't technically alive halting her aging process so she could continue serving him forever after which she overthrew him. It also keeps her at least nominally evil no matter how much character development she undergoes.

It's why Sequin Land has a completely different layout every time we see it, and why landmarks like Mount Pointy and the swamp seemingly vanished. This would even explain how the first game's [[NostalgiaLevel Dribble Fountain]] shows up in ''[[VideoGame/ShantaeAndThePiratesCurse Pirate's Curse]]'' on a completely different island. Either the world isn't entirely restored by the end of ''Risky Revolution'' and several areas are left out of place, or everything somehow gets rotated again between games.

Now that ''Half-Genie Hero'' has that covered for the time being, Shantae can instead focus on her father. And the events of ''Pirate's Curse'' tell us that her implied father, Shadowy Karnov Lookalike, has resolved to escape from the Village of Lost Souls and continue searching for his missing daughter - maybe he could make a reappearance.

*** I don't disagree with you; lying, withholding crucial information, and twisting the facts are perfectly in character for Risky, but it's when she has something to gain from doing so, like making herself look better or fooling her enemies into helping her. I don't believe there's a strong enough potential motive for her to lie about this sort of thing (especially when it's her "Mayor" disguise, not her, who's telling the lie) that we shouldn't take it at face value.

*** The reason I question it is because Risky does lie quite frequently. The entire plotline of Pirate Queen's Quest is her lying to herself to create a fantasy land where she actually defeated Shantae for once, which would make you question her integrity at least in some cases. And I think [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Shantae/comments/ix5ng2/i_emailed_wayforward_about_the_age_order_of_the/ WayForward]] themselves don't even have a concise answer on the age order, telling fans to keep speculating.

*** She lied about the blueprints for the purpose of getting Shantae and Mimic to build her latest doomsday machine for her, which is explained directly to us later in the game. You still haven't said what specific goal she achieves from lying about Shantae's age, or why you're so insistent on arguing this point. It's just a question of seniority between the five girls; there's no reason for it to be looked into to this degree. Until we have a direct and specific reason why Risky would lie about it, we take what was conveyed at face value, or else we'd have to start questioning ''everything'' she says.

*** Then that's a reason for her to lie to the Empress Siren, not anyone else. Risky isn't just a compulsive liar who frivolously falsifies things for no reason; she's only been known to lie because she had a good reason for doing so at the time.

Added DiffLines:
**** Considering that Risky told Empress Siren that Shantae's life force was inferior and tainted, which is why Empress Siren never went after Shantae, it's possible that Risky claimed Shantae was the youngest as a reason for her inferiority. Shantae is also never stated to know the others' ages besides that Harmony is the oldest, so it's possible Risky made her believe she is the youngest when in reality she could be older.

* In addition, Plink is taller than Shantae. And the apparent maturity of each girl also ties into her past experience and lifestyle in addition to how old she is; Shantae could be the youngest, but still seem more mature than some of the others because she's been through more than they have, possibly.
