— Splatoon 3 Direct

Shiver is a character in Splatoon 3 and one of the three members of the band Deep Cut, alongside Frye and Big Man, with whom they co-host both Anarchy Splatcast, the news show of Splatsville, and Splatfests. Their signature color is blue.
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), one eyelash on their visible eye without the mask-like black marking other Octolings have, red eye makeup under their eyes, red tinted fingers, blue-purple tentacles with darker tips that curl outwards, and matching-colored triangular eyebrows. They have the same teeth and ears as playable Octolings.
Shiver's right ear is pierced with three shark tooth-shaped 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.
Gender
Shiver's gender has not been revealed in any official media so far, including Deep Cut's introduction in the Splatoon 3 Direct, the announcement dialogue for the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere, and all references to Deep Cut on the official website and social media. This is consistent across all languages, and the texts in languages that require it (French, Italian, and Spanish) avoided referring to Shiver in ways that would require conjugating adjectives or verbs. Shiver also refers to themself in plural as part of the group or by using the passive voice. The Japanese text does not use any first-person pronouns that could indicate a specific gender (such as atashi or boku).
In contrast, Shiver's bandmates Big Man and Frye are both referred to with gendered terms. Frye introduces herself in French as "The queen of eels"[1] and in Spanish as the "[female] marine choreographer"[2]. The languages have conjugations that indicate Big Man and Frye are male and female respectively, but this does not apply to Shiver.

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.[3]
