Shovel Knight/Jacky 50A

Biography
Shovel Knight is the protagonist of a PS4 game with the same name of this character. Usually, Shovel Knight is shown as a knight, armed with a light blue armor with horns and a weapon called Shovel Blade, matching his name of Shovel Knight. In the game, he is a chivalrous knight trying to stop the antagonist of the game named the Enchantress (not to be confused with Marvel's Enchantress) and find his long lost love, which is a female knight named Shield Knight. Shovel Knight is an honest and helpful kind of character. He always likes to help people he found along his road. Not just that, he also proved himself that he is physically and mentally strong, taking down various mind-bending puzzles and defeating other enemies who are mostly larger than Shovel's own size. He is a perfect example of Shovelry: Slash mercilessly, and dig tirelessly... Literally.

In-Game Bio
"The perfect example of Shovelry in his world. Shovel Knight is a knight, armed with a Shovel Blade and a light blue armor. Once, he was a great knight champion along with his future rival, another knight named Black Knight. However, some days later, Shovel Knight lost his former love, Shield Knight in a place called Tower of Fate after an incident with a cursed amulet. Now, Shovel Knight goes on a quest to find his long lost love while facing extraordinary enemies in his way and other evil knights, namely the Order of No Quarter. Although he might be small, Shovel Knight is unpredictably a mentally and physically strong and great hero, along with his Shovel Blade."
