At first glance, Shifen doesn't seem to be very intimidating. A red panda with blue fur coloration, standing at a modest 5'7", roughly.. But looks can be deceiving. While usually one to play it cool and modest, Shifen can be a live grenade just waiting to go off. The Heiress of a winery, she is one to love her drink, dancing, and partying, and can be quite the tomboy.
This doesn't prevent her natural feminine charms and looks looks from shining though. As comfortable in her bare fur as she is in clothes, she often deigns to run around with little to nothing on. This leaves that interesting combination of light blue, black and white fur easily visible on that well kept, curvy figure. Light blue fur covers most of her backside, right down to the sides of her thighs and the enormous, fluffy signature red panda tail, banded with black. On the contrary, her frontside is dominated by the darker fur, save for the white neck fluff, and her upper arms. Black fur resumes from her elbows down to her hands in a sort of glovelike appearance. The black on her frontside trails down past her groin and all the way down to her four toed feet.
Back up at her head, however, the white is more predominant. Her entire short muzzle and fluffy cheeks, right up past her eyes sport the lighter fur, as well as much of her ears. A large black band on each cheek trail down from her eyes in true red panda fashion. Finally, smooth black hair adorns the top of her head, falling straight down just past her shoulderblades. Light green eyes peer out from the locks of hair that sometimes stray in front of her face.
As stated, Shifen can be a bit of a tomboy. Still, she is quite friendly, and often looking for a good time. She'll bring the booze!
Shifen comes from a long line of winemakers. She has inherited the family tradition and eventually business, "Shui Vineyards" and winery, after her parents passed. She maintains this with the help of her brother, Shian. She is quite proud of her skills in brewing and winemaking, and devotes a large amount of time towards it.
Oftentimes she is carrying around a small satchel slung over her shoulder with samples of her work for others to try, as she likes to both be the life of the party and promote her work at the same time in order to keep it profitable and running well. Sharing booze is also a great icebreaker to new people for her, and something of a self-made tradition. However, she has been known to consume vast quantities of her own product as well, and tends to get a little rowdy after having a good few. She is not your stereotypical girl. She has little time for fashion or accessories, and prefers more down to earth things and hobbies. Being a red(blue) panda, she does have a little asian heritage in her, though she grew up entirely in non-asian environments, only exposed to it from her more culturally oriented parents.
She's the really friendly and polite type, the politeness losing in favor of more zaniness the more drinks she has in her.
