Red Panda

**Red Panda**, known as Red for short, is a female contestant on The Wildest Prize.

She competed in Pre-Season and is currently one of the 24 contestants that will join Season 1.

## Appearance

Red has a rather cat-like appearance in general. Her head is red-orange, with white markings by her eyes and mouth, and white ears, resembling the fur pattern of a real red panda. She also features eyelashes to make her gender more easily distinguishable. She has dark brown fur on her belly and limbs, unlike real red pandas which have black fur. Her bushy tail is red-orange like her head, with more yellowish jagged stripes.

Originally, Red had a thinner, longer tail with flat stripes, and lacked her eyelashes.

## Personality

Red is typically nice, but at the same time she can also come off as soft or annoying.

Her nice side is shown most often, such as in "Journey to the Top of the World" where she comforted Fox after Rabbit's elimination, or in "Deadliest Race Ever" where she sacrificed herself to allow Iguana to win an immunity.

However, her soft side is also implied by how she never seems to stand up for herself and can sometimes care too much about what others want, even overworking herself in the process.

She can also be seen as somewhat brutally honest, such as in "What's So Funny?" when she didn't hesitate to criticize Bear for poor humor (though this may also be a result of her previous negative interactions with Bear).

On rare occasions, however, she can show her darker side. So far, the only time this was seen was in "Flag Fighters", in which she was merciless when fighting Cow and Tiger in order to get one of her team's flags. Since then, she hasn't resorted to violence, though still isn't infinitely patient as far as verbal interactions go.

It's unknown how she will change or develop in Season 1, if at all.

## Relations

**Chinchilla**

According to Chinchilla in "Time for Action", she and Red went very far back, with their dynamic (which also involved Cat) peaking in high school. Red was the nice girl in the group while Chinchilla was the creative mind. Alongside Cat, they became rather popular in high school, but since then they'd gone their separate ways for unknown reasons. However, we didn't see any interactions from them until the final few episodes of Pre-Season.

Because Chinchilla made the cut for Season 1, she will most likely have more interactions with Red and more opportunities to develop their friendship.

**Iguana**

As shown in "Pre-Season Recap", Iguana and Red first met in high school by accidentally running into each other. For a long while, their relationship was merely platonic, as neither of them knew how the other really felt about them. They didn't have any major or meaningful interactions until "Can't Weight to Win", where Red helped Iguana to win the challenge. However, in "Deadliest Race Ever", Red revealed something that would change the course of their relationship; for years, she had a crush on Iguana. She would cooperate with him throughout the episode's challenge, eventually knocking him out of the way of danger and sacrificing herself so he could win immunity. By the end of the episode, their relationship went from being only platonic to being romantic, as they were shown to have started dating in the episode's stinger. In "A Sticky Situation", they'd team up against Snow Fox in the hopes of one of them winning an immunity, but Snow Fox was able to overpower both of them and rob them of immunity, leading to Red's elimination. Despite that, they continued to have a positive relationship throughout Pre-Season. Iguana would attempt to propose to Red in "Time for Action", not knowing she had been captured in a failed rescue mission. He would join the other contestants, as well as failed debuters, in another much bigger rescue mission in an effort to save Red from capture, though this mission also failed which resulted in him suffering the same fate. In "The Finale", he would go after Greg when he tried to make off with Red and her other friends, being tempted to kill him and only refraining from doing so as it would also kill Red, who Greg had attempted to use as a living shield. Despite this, Iguana claimed it was worth letting Greg get away so long as his friends, especially Red, were set free. Once he was finally able propose to Red, she accepted, which resulted in the two getting married months after the rescue mission. In the episode's stinger, they were shown vacationing on Wild Island, while their friends had the idea to host Season 1 there.

Because Iguana made the cut for Season 1, it is most likely he will have further interactions with Red that season.

**Cat**

Red isn't known for having many onscreen interactions with Cat, though in the latter half of Pre-Season, they're shown to be on good terms, even cooperating in a rescue mission in "Time for Action". However, there is much better detail to their relationship regarding their past, as they (along with Chinchilla) were very popular in their school years. According to Chinchilla, Cat was the daring kid in the group, accepting challenges and trying to be cool, which went well with Red's kind attitude.

As Cat made the cut for Season 1, it is most likely they will have further interaction then.
