“	If you ever miss any wisp chests, I can summon their contents here!	”
— Missy, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment

Missy is a supporting character in Specter of Torment encountered at the Tower of Fate. She acts as a vendor similar to Chester for Specter Knight, allowing the purchase of any Darkness or Willful Wisps missed during levels for 1000 gold for the Plains wisp and 4000 for all other stages.

Appearance

Missy is a short, green-haired woman that is covered from her neck to her feet in a black and green cloak. She wears a hat with a gem that has the same green color as her over-all appearance. She has curly hair and black eyes that only hold a small glint in her avatar.

Relationships

Specter Knight

Missy seems to be on friendly terms with Specter Knight. Despite the fact that she is one of his servants, like Dark Acolyte, Missy and Specter Knight have a vendor-and-customer-like relationship, since if Specter Knight misses any Wisp Chests, she will sell these Wisps for a high amount gold. Moreover, Missy calls Specter Knight "Specty", and he never corrects her.

Dark Acolyte

Dark Acolyte and Missy seem to be friends. In the ending of King of Cards, both are seen spying Specter Knight as he reflects on his Keepsake Locket. In the ending of Specter of Torment, Missy is seen going to the Troupple King with Dark Acolyte because he was too scared to go alone, showing she is supportive towards her friend.

Story

Missy serves the Enchantress at the Tower of Fate by conjuring any Wisp Specter Knight might have missed when traveling through the Valley.

She seems panicked after the Dark Mirror shatters and the Tower starts shaking. After this event and the formation of the Order of No Quarter, Missy accompanies the Dark Acolyte to the Troupple Pond when he seeks redemption. She did so because the Dark Acolyte was too scared to face the Troupple King again by himself. She also rejoices at his choice to be a Troupple Acolyte again.

Specter of Torment King of Cards Talked to at the Tower of Fate for the first time "Missy: Oh hey, Specty. Welcome back! If you ever miss any Wisp Chests, I can summon their contents here! But you know.. Supplies. I need gold! It isn't cheap to summon a wisp, whether it's for Will or Darkness!" Talked to after missing a Wisp Chest in a completed stage "Missy: Hey, you missed a Wisp Chests! Want to have a look?" Refusing to buy a Wisp "Missy: Oh... right! I guess you're okay for now, then." Talked to without missing any Wisp so far "Missy: I've got nothing to sell you. You're so meticulous, Specty! But maybe...maybe I can still help! Let's see... Darkness wisps are in Clockwork Tower, Explodatorium, or the Lich Yard! Any other new place and you'll find a Willfull wisp!" Talked to after collecting all Darkness Wisps "Missy: I've got nothing to sell you. You're so meticulous, Specty! But maybe...maybe I can still help! Let's see... Well, you've found every Darkness wisp. You'll only find Willfull wisp in any new place!" Talked to after collecting all Wisps "Missy: I've got nothing to sell you. You're so meticulous, Specty!" Talked to in the Tower of Joustus "Missy: Look at this Wisp chest that Specty missed! He wasn't being very meticulous, was he? If you beat me at Joustus, hee hee, I'll let you see the Wisp up close!" Accepting her duel of Joustus "Missy: Ooh, who knows what'll happen? I hope no one gets hurt, hee hee." Defeating her "Missy: Alright, a deal's a deal. I'll open up the Wisp Chest.. Have a closer look!" [King Knight inhales the Wisp] "King Knight: Get it out of me! Ugh, what in blue blazes was that thing?! " "Missy: Weird, Specty said it sustained him. I wonder what it did to you..." Talked to again after her defeat "Missy: Wisps, huh? Am i right? You okay? Or didja want to play again?" Asking to see the Wisp again "Missy: There's still plenty more wisps! Have another look!"

Trivia

• She is the only character that calls Specter Knight "Specty", similar to how Mona called Plague Knight "Plaguey".
• Missy's name seems to be referencing how if Specter Knight "misses" a Wisp she will sell you the one you "missed".
