— 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 she co-hosts both Anarchy Splatcast, the news show of Splatsville, and Splatfests. Shiver's 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 her visible eye without the mask-like black marking other Octolings have, red eye makeup under her eyes, red-tinted fingers, blue-purple tentacles with darker tips that curl outwards, and matching-colored triangular eyebrows. She has the same teeth and ears as playable Octolings.
Shiver's right ear is pierced with three shark tooth-shaped earrings. Her hair obscures her left eye. Shiver wears a white sarashi under a transparent purple shawl with a large silver octopus head charm with red tassels hanging from it, black leggings with two cuts at the sides, and black thong shoes with red wedge soles. On the back of her head, surrounding a large suction cup on one of her tentacles, she wears a white circular headpiece designed like a shimenawa rope.
Gender
Shiver's gender has not been initially revealed in any official media, 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. This was 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 inflecting adjectives or verbs for gender. Shiver also referred to herself in the plural as part of the group or by using the passive voice. The Japanese text did not have Shiver use any common first-person pronouns that traditionally connote gender (such as atashi or boku). In the Direct, Shiver uses the pronouns "uchi"[1] (an informal pronoun usually used by younger women, especially in Kansai dialects), and "onore"[2] (an archaic pronoun usually used by men). These pronouns may be portraying Shiver's Kansai dialect through the use of yakuwarigo ("role language").
On social media, messages referring to Shiver were generally non-gendered, except for one Nintendo Portugal message where "pela" was used implying Shiver is female.[3]
In contrast, Shiver's bandmates Big Man and Frye were immediately referred to, upon reveal, with terms inflected for male and female grammatical gender, respectively. Frye introduces herself in French as "The queen of eels",[4] Spanish as the "[female] marine choreographer",[5] and she uses a feminine definite article in her Portuguese introduction.[6]
This lack of information, being apparently deliberate, sparked speculation across the fandom about whether the character was nonbinary or if her gender would not be revealed. However, official sources such as interviews with Nintendo of America executives[7] and the media's preview game access[8] have clarified that Shiver is female and uses she/her pronouns.
Trivia
- In Japanese, Shiver speaks with a very pronounced Kansai-ben dialect, specifically using the Kamigata (Kyoto) dialect. This includes referring to her Splatfest team with the second-person pronoun あんさんら ansanra, using the idiom おきばりやす okibariyasu ("Hang in there!"), using the copula どす dosu instead of です desu, using 何いうてはん nani iute-han ("What are you saying?"), and many other examples.

Etymology
"Shivering" refers to the reaction of shaking in response to cold or fear, in contrast to Frye's name, which suggests heat and warmth. A "shiver" is also one of the collective terms 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 refers to Shiver descending from a lineage of shark trainers.[9]
