Bastet might be connected to the cat deity known by the same name. In ancient Egyptian religion, Bastet is the Goddess of Protection, Pleasure and Good Health to Ancient Egypt.
Her catchphrases are "Growling Pyramids!", "By the Mummies of Meow!", "By the Claws of Cleopatra!," and "By the Pyramids of Meow!"
It is unknown why she didn't show up sooner despite the fact that Pharaoh Boy, the villain she was meant to stop, has been causing trouble since his debut in Season 4.
Cats in ancient Egypt were highly revered, partly due to their ability to combat vermin such as mice, rats (which threatened key food supplies), and snakes—especially cobras. Additionally, cats of royalty were, in some instances, known to be dressed in golden jewelry similar to the kind that Bastet wears in the show.
She is also the seventh character to have a protective shield power.
The first was Gekko (with his Super Gekko Shields).
