Morphology
total + shebeast
The phrase is compositionally built from 'she' + 'beast' with 'total' as an intensifier, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it refers to a woman who is animal-like, fierce, or very strong. However, 'shebeast' is slang/nonstandard and carries connotational and pragmatic nuance (insult vs. admiring) that a B1 learner may not predict, making the precise interpretation uncertain.
Etymology
Total shebeast comes from calling someone a beast when they are very strong, adding she to show it is a woman, and using total to make the idea stronger. That's why it means 'a woman who is extremely fierce and strong'.
