Ok... This isn't a good start.
I assume this is an offworlder as she is a species that hasn't been seen before on Felarya. I'd also be careful with furries, some people really don't like them. So far we haven't had any problems with this because (to my knowledge) there haven't been any furry characters. I'm kind of glad about that because, from what I have seen (and what you;'re showing now) they're not exactly the best characters.

Now, herm, DD cup breasts and the ability to reform when eating all scream "fetish fulfilment character." This isn't good, you character will not be taken seriously at all. Especially the reforming, it's just not on. It renders one of the biggest dangers of Felarya null. There is no explanation to how it could work, because it doesn't.

Also, you've said she carriers around a dia Katana, which is just a bigger Katana. The fact that you chose a Katana isn't exactly points in your favour, we all know the clichés and myths surrounding Katanas. While they are excellent at cutting flesh, having a katana will not help you in Felarya much. A machete and a spear would be much more useful if you insist on bladed weapons. When fighting anything bigger than you a sword will be useless. Giant hybrids will just grab you before there's time to swing and everything else will crush or bite. A sword just doesn't have the length to be useful.

aaaah so I need to make a few alterations

Now, to be perfectly honest, there aren't a whole lot of weapons that are particularly effective against the giant hybrids anyway. Also, what weapon is better is more a preference anyway, morning stars, falchions, any blade with a curve will work too. A weapon like a spear is dangerous to use, it's a lot easier to get into their inside line that most people seem to think. I should know, I can sword fight.

In general, planning to fight the giant preds is not a good idea. The kinds of weapons you'd need to do any kind of damage would be far too cumbersome and/or difficult to obtain (military stuff) for the average person.

You're better off with a good self-defense weapon, like a pistol, sword or something, and/or a good tool weapon like a hatchet or machete. Just gotta use stealth to avoid the larger wildlife.

And a working pair of legs. Heaven help you if you don't have a working pair of legs.

true a working pair help and two working pairs are better

Note - "she" not "shi"

"her" not "hir"

"If she's a herm, why use "she"?"

Aaaanyways. First some technicals.

What is a chakat? I'll go with Anime and assume a sort of Furry. I know I beat this drum alot... and I know Felarya is a world of dimensional travelers - but why not use a Felaryan species? Did you look at the wiki before you started? Perhaps a pantaur, neko or Demi-Chimera would make this a better Felaryan character.

'Nother technical - just listing bra size is a dull way to create a character. Write a description of her and describe her body shape. Try to do a more in depth description of her in general.

Her personality also needs a lot of work - she's shy. That's it. What are her hopes, dreams, fears, likes, dislikes, prejudices? What makes her angry, terrified? What would she stand up for? Does being a herm affect her life in any way?

Overall you've not given much to this. And this angers me. I realize that all character bios must start somewhere, but it does irritate me when I feel that someone slapped something together with little understanding of the world. If you want respect for a character bio, make it worthwhile.

While not a furry myself, I happen to know a little bit about Chakats. As you surmised, they are a sort of furry; like a pantaur-fuzzy-human mix. They are also all fully functional hermaphrodites, which is also why they use "shi" and "hir" instead of "she" and "her".
