This is an attempt at fixing some of the issues brought up on the talk page for Shiver to do with the section on her gender. I tried to keep most of it since a lot of effort went into the research. I removed the section about Japanese pronouns, and shortened and changed the order of some other parts. I also removed the part about when her gender was confirmed, since the game is out now. If this doesn't get used that is completely fine. I do not mind any criticism of it.

Gender
When Shiver was first revealed, there was speculation about her gender and the possibility of her being non-binary or ambiguously gendered. In the Splatoon 3 Direct, neither the presentation nor most other promotional material (such as the announcement dialogue for the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere and references to Deep Cut on the official website) specifically referred to Shiver's gender. This was consistent across most languages, including text in some languages that require it (French, Italian, and Spanish) not refering to Shiver in ways that would require inflecting adjectives or verbs for gender. Other than one Nintendo Portugal message that used "pela", implying Shiver to be female. , no other official social media referred to her gender.

In contrast, Shiver's bandmates Big Man and Frye were referred to at reveal with terms connoting male and female grammatical gender, respectively. For example, Frye introduces herself in French as "the queen of eels", and in Spanish as the "[female] marine choreographer",
