Bish, or affectionately, Bishie, is an anime corrupted fan term from the prefix bi-, meaning beautiful in Japanese. Although derived from bishonen (the feminine bijin is less used in fandom) it can refer to any number of characters. It is sometimes used to refer to statuesque androgynous women, especially in yuri fandom.
More playful, it may also include women who are strong, emotionally or speak aggressively, even if they are feminine looking. In particular, characters who are quiet, brooding, or angsty which is considered a common sterotype of some beautiful characters.
