When the game launched, both the male and female variants had quills and red eyes. Today's update aimed to remove the quills from the female version, but ended up removing from both. That leads me to belive there is one model that is shared between both skins.
I think having two separate models for each skin woud make it easier to fix details like the quills and the eye colour.
