Pear-Shaped Figure describes a character with wide hips paired with a narrower upper body and shoulders. They will have comparatively lower fat-mass around their torso/waist and commonly have thicker thighs and/or a larger butt. If the character has breasts, they will usually have small to medium-sized breasts, or, more loosely, breasts that are noticeably smaller in comparison to the size of the characters lower body and hips. This figure resembles a pear, and is a commonly used term in fashion and beauty circles.
This tag can be applied to a range of similarly pear-shaped bodies (see examples above). A character doesn't need to be chubby or overweight to be pear-shaped, but this figure is more common with chubby/overweight characters.

Tagging Notes
What isn't a Pear-Shaped Figure:
- Do not add this tag to characters who merely have wide hips or big butts
- Do not add this tag if the character's lower body only appears larger due to their pose or perspective (ie. a low-angle view), or butt shot/butt focus images where the character has no distinct figure)
- Characters with pear shaped figures will never have broad shoulders or hyper breasts, and rarely have huge breasts.
- A character tagged as pear-shaped figure should never be tagged as hourglass figure or voluptuous, these are different body shapes.
Pear Shaped Vs. Bottom Heavy:
Both tags describe characters with lower bodies that are wider than their upper bodies, however...
- pear-shaped is intended to be subtler, more realistic or natural
- a pear shaped figure should always have a "flow" of curving out from a narrower upper body, to wider midsection/waist, to wide hips and thick thighs

- bottom heavy is broader, and often applies to exaggerated figures, sometimes with disproportionately wide lower bodies and very small upper bodies
- bottom heavy figures usually have huge or hyper hips, thighs, and butt
- bottom heavy can apply to semi-anthro characters, pear-shaped should not be used for semi-anthro or feral characters
For characters with toony proportions, and nearly spherical exaggerated lower bodies that resemble pears, see hyper pear.
