Shenzi is a medium-sized quadripedal hyena with gray fur, a pale gray underbelly, dark gray spots on her flanks, and a long black mane that ends in bangs over her forehead. Her ears and paws are black, and her eye rims and inner ears are dark gray. Her eyes are black with yellow sclerae. She rarely loses her composure and focus. She's sassy and snarky, and has a dark sense of humor. She has a fierce appetite and won't easily give up the hunt. Even so, she knows her limits.
