Deer Lady

“	Oh dear! Dreadfully sorry, but I have no time to converse at the moment!	”
— Deer Lady, Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope

Deer Ladies are minor characters in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. Similarly to Maidens, these seemingly high-class women walk around the Village and Armor Outpost.

Appearance[]

Deer Ladies, just like Doe, appear as bipedal deer, in this case female ones, with extravagant dresses and umbrellas.

In Shovel of Hope, Deer Ladies can be found passing through the Village and the Armor Outpost.

In Plague of Shadows, Deer Ladies can be briefly seen in the Village, before they flee at the sight of Plague Knight.

Wandering purple clothed, brown skin Deer Lady in the Village	"Deer Lady: Have you met the Troupple King? He's quite the character! Ho! ho ho! "
Wandering pink clothed, brown skin Deer Lady in the Village	"Deer Lady: I remember before the Order of No Quarter, when we weren't afraid to walk around like this!"
Wandering purple clothed, brown skin Deer Lady at the Armor Outpost	"Deer Lady: Heavens me! All this armor clanging about... What an awful racket!"
Wandering green clothed, blond skin Deer Lady at the Armor Outpost	"Deer Lady: Oh dear! Dreadfully sorry, but I have no time to converse at the moment!"

Interestingly, the oldest of the unused dialogue portraits for the Deer Ladies contains an error, as white-tailed does typically are not able to grow antlers.
- On that note, the correct feminine form of the name "deer" is "doe". The Deer Ladies name is more of a pun on the phrase "dear lady".
  - Ironically Doe, another deer person, is instead male despite what his name may suggest.
