Impala is a type of mammalian Friend that appeared in the original Kemono Friends mobile game.
Appearance
Old Design
Impala has reddish-orange hair in two twisted pigtails, in which her hair fades to a light tan. She has two light tan spots on her bangs and her ears are a similar light brown with a lighter tan inside and colored black at the tip and base of the outside. Her eyes are caramel colored and she has the antlers of her male animal counterpart, light brown and ridged, and holds a bow made of the same material. Her tail is light brown with black in the middle and white on the underside.
Impala wears a white dress shirt with a dark yellow antelope head emblem on her right breast and yellow stripes on the top of her shoulders. She wears a pleated miniskirt and socks in the same dark yellow color, with white shoes that have dark yellow laces, soles, and noses. Around each wrist is a thick yellow athletic band.
Redesign
Impala now has dull reddish-orange hair that fades to a light tan color, tied in two pigtails with white ribbons. There are two white spots on her bangs, resembling her animal counterpart, and her ears are the same reddish-orange as her hair with black outlining the edges and a white and pink inside. Her eyes are now dark brown and her antlers are now gray striped, lighter at the tips, and she wields a bow that is of the same material but darker at the tips and has a red handle. Her tail is a light tan color with a single black stripe down the middle and white around the edges and underside.
Impala wears a dull reddish-brown dress shirt, the same color as her hair, that is split at the breast and light tan on the bottom half. The antelope head emblem on her right breast is now simplified and yellow, with white stripes on the top of her shoulders. She wears a white pleated miniskirt and tan socks that go just below the knee that have a black marking on the back, as well as white laced shoes that are black at the nose and sole. She retains the thick yellow athletic bands, now matching with the emblem on her shirt.

In Real Life

The Impala or Rooibok (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in East and South Africa. Two subspecies are recognised—the grassland-dwelling common impala (sometimes referred to as the Kenyan impala), and the larger and darker black-faced impala, which lives in slightly more arid, scrubland environments. The Impala reaches 70–92 cm (28–36 in) at the shoulder and weighs 40–76 kg (88–168 lb). It features a glossy, reddish brown coat. The male's slender, lyre-shaped horns are 45–92 cm (18–36 in) long. The impala is found in woodlands and sometimes on the interface (ecotone) between woodlands and savannahs; it inhabits places near water.
