“	You think you're cool? Sharks call ME cold-blooded.	”
— Splatoon 3 Direct

Shiver is a character in Splatoon 3 who resides in Splatsville. Along with co-stars Frye and Big Man, Shiver is a member of the band Deep Cut, who host both Anarchy Splatcast, the news show of Splatsville, and Splatfests. Shiver's signature color is a deep purple.

Appearance

Shiver is an Octoling with pale skin, thin light-red colored lips, red eyes with light red pupils in the shape of an infinity symbol (like octopuses in real life), two eyelashes on each side without the mask-like black marking other Octolings feature, red eye makeup under the eyes, red tinted fingers, blue-purple tentacles with darker tips and that curl outwards near the tips, and matching-colored triangular eyebrows. They have the same teeth and ears as playable octolings.

Their ears are pierced with three shark tooth earrings. Their hair obscures their left eye. Shiver wears a white sarashi under a transparent purple shawl, black leggings with cuts at the sides, and black thong shoes with red wedge soles. On the back of their head, surrounding a large suction cup on one of their tentacles, they wear a white circular headpiece designed like a shimenawa rope.

Etymology

"Shiver" comes from "shiver", the action of shaking in response to feeling cold or fear. The relation to cold is in contrast to Frye's name. A "shiver" is also the collective term for a group of sharks.

"Fūka" is a common Japanese female given name, usually written with kanji 風花 (wind-flower) or 風香 (wind-scent). It is also a pun on 鱶 fuka (with a short u), the Japanese word for "shark". This is in reference to Shiver descending from a clan of shark users.
