Lost Zorua

This Zorua appears to be cunning, sensitive, and emotionally fragile at this moment. Zorua are known for their mischievous, intelligent nature and their ability to create illusions, but this young one shows a much more vulnerable side.
Sensitive and fearful: Its tears and sad expression indicate that it is a Pokémon with a soft heart that feels fear and loneliness very intensely. It was probably separated from its pack during the chaos of the hunters' attack and now feels deeply lost and frightened.
Reserved and observant: Despite crying, his large, bright eyes suggest he's aware of his surroundings. He's the type who prefers to observe before acting and uses his intelligence to protect himself.
Loyal once it trusts: Although it's sad and lonely now, once it gains trust it can become a very loyal, playful, and affectionate companion. Zorua often form strong bonds with those who care for them and enjoy using their illusions to entertain or protect their trainer.
Sad but with mischievous potential: At this moment he is too scared to make jokes or illusions, but with time and security, his mischievous and creative side will surely come out.

A young Zorua (basic stage), small in size and with an elegant feline silhouette. It sits on the forest path, now in a nighttime setting with a bluish and mysterious light.
Body: Covered in soft, dense, dark gray and black fur. It has a thick, fluffy ruff of black fur around its neck, giving it an almost scarf-like or mane-like appearance. The front and hind legs are a deep orange-red on the underside, contrasting sharply with the gray of the body.
Head: Round with large, pointed ears with black interiors. On its forehead is a tuft of red and orange hair that forms a stylized flame (characteristic of or inspired by its Hisuian form).
Eyes: Large and bright, a deep turquoise blue with white pupils. They are filled with tears that stream down her cheeks, giving her a profoundly sad and vulnerable expression.
Face: It has three circular red marks on its forehead and cheeks (two large ones above the eyes and a smaller one on the forehead). The mouth is a thin, straight line pointing downwards, clearly showing its sadness.
Details: Tears glisten in the blue light of the night forest, and a few droplets trickle from her chin. Her fur looks soft and slightly damp from crying.
