Red pandas

The Red Panda people can be generally compared to a blend of Manchu Chinese society and members of Ailuridae biological family.
Red Pandas are one of the fifty-five races of anthropomorphic mammals that populate Yanìs, and are grouped in the subgenus of Ursidaes, together with Bears and Pandas.

Physically, they are short and slender, almost never exceeding 3.5 feet in height or 30 kg in weight. They have long, fluffy fur, reddish-brown in the upper parts, blackish in the lower parts, and a pale muzzle with teardrop-shaped spots. The muzzle has white markings similar to those of raccoons, but each individual can have a distinctive mark. The round head has medium-sized, vertical ears, the long and bushy tail, which has six alternating yellow-reddish and ocher rings, provides balance. Their legs are black and short, and their paws are covered with thick hair.

Red Panda people are mistakenly confused as a nomadic kingdom, in truth, they have always been sedentary agricultural people who live in fixed villages, farming crops, and practicing hunting and mounted archery. Dog-riding and archery are important to Red Panda people to such an extent that every spring and autumn, from ordinary people to aristocrats, everyone has to undergo riding and archery trials. The results of their tests could even affect their social rank. Red Panda people have excellent shooting skills, and their arrows were often reputed to be capable of penetrating even two big Anthros at a time. However, after their annexation to Kibaya, from Pandas' Qing dynasty middle period, archery became more of a form of entertainment such as games like shooting fabric or silk targets or shooting a candle hanging in the air at night.
In their traditional culture, Red Panda people are often respected as highly artistic and liberal. They are in fact thrived in fine painting skills and social freedoms. Females originally had sexual autonomy, being able to have premarital sex and mingle with males without accusations of infidelity, and even to remarry after becoming widows. Unfortunately, these traditions will struggle to endure over time.

The Red Panda people will reign over Kibaya about two centuries after the Tale. It will be a dynasty founded by Emperor Song Taizu who usurped Pandas’ throne, putting an end to the period of political divisions known as the of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The Song dynasty will bring an era of complex social and administrative organizations, starting with being the first government in planet history to issue banknotes, support social welfare programs, including the establishment of retirement homes, public clinics, and destitute cemeteries. They will also develop a vast postal service, favoring rapid communication throughout the empire. In rural areas, farmers will also become owners of lands they cultivate.
