Ghira Belladonna, previous leader of the White Fang and current Chieftain of Menagerie, is probably one of the most famous Faunus in all of Remnant, but what kind of Faunus is he? His wife Kali and daughter Blake are both fairly obviously Cat Faunus, with quite protenant cat ear on top of their heads. Ghira is lacking these ears, so his species, if you will, is less clear. It is entirely possible that he is also a Cat Faunus, bus has some other feline quality. This is however, as far as I’m aware, completely unheard of, as there of plenty of Cat Faunus with ears similar to Kali’s and Blake’s on Menagerie.

This leaves he whole issue very up in the air, as he could simply be any other kind of Faunus and we’d be none the wiser. This is until we consider what we learned about Faunus reproduction in the World of Remnant. We’re told that two Faunus of the same “species” will produce a baby of that same species, and that two Faunus of different species will produce a baby of a seemingly random species of Faunus. This makes it super unlikely that Ghira can be anything other than a Cat Faunus, considering both his wife and child are, yet he still lacks the Cat Faunus’ trademark ears.

So what’s the answer? In all honesty, he’s probably a Cat Faunus with claws instead of ears or something, but there is one other option. In that same World of Remnant, we learn that a Faunus who reproduces with a Human will produce a Faunus baby of the same species as the Faunus parent. So maybe, just maybe, Ghira Belladonna, inspiration to Faunus all over the world, isn’t a Faunus at all…
