Free

Free (フリー) is a minor secondary character of Beastars. He is an active member of the Shishigumi.

Appearance
He is a tall Lion, and has a scar on his face, possibly obtained during one of his struggles with his or another criminal group. His other distinctive features are his mane, which is styled into a pompadour, and his lack of visible pupils. He also has large tattoos on his chest, stomach, shoulders and back.

He has been seen wearing formal clothes all the time, perhaps a way to govern the costumes within his organization.

Personality
He is a pretty eccentric lion, does not usually care about a lot of things as long as they do not affect him; but is a "good person" even though he was under the command of two different leaders, he always showed respect to them, especially Louis, who despite being a herbivore, contained his instincts to the organization's priority.

Another symbol of respect was shown during the last blow of the Shishigumi, where he got orders from his partner Ibuki to stop him in case he tried to attack Louis. Free, taking care of this was watching Louis during all that time and when Ibuki tried to assassinate Louis, Free with great courage stopped Ibuki and took Louis to another place so he could leave the organization and have a better life, one that Ibuki could be proud to see.

After this he tells Louis to never come back to the Black market otherwise he would be killed by the Shishigumi.

Background
According to Dolph, all the lions of Shishigumi were born and raised in the Black market. Not much else is known about his past.
