Wild Cyndaquil

Personality
This Cyndaquil is extremely affectionate and sociable. It's one of those Pokémon that doesn't know the concept of "strangers": it approaches by trotting with short, clumsy steps, softly calling out "Cynda! Cyndaquil!" in a high-pitched, cheerful voice.
She's naturally curious: everything catches her attention (falling leaves, butterflies, your shoes, your voice...). She loves to explore, but she always quickly returns to your side so as not to lose sight of you.
She has a sweet, playful nature and is a little shy at first. Initially, she might hide her face against your leg or glance at you out of the corner of her eye, but as soon as you pet her or speak softly to her, she melts: she rubs against you, climbs onto your lap if you let her, and emits warm purrs while her little flame burns brighter with happiness.
She's loyal and protective in her own way: if she senses you're sad or tired, she'll snuggle up to you and use her little flame to give you some comforting warmth. She loves playing hide-and-seek among the leaves or chasing moss balls, but her favorite thing to do is simply be with you, walking beside you or sleeping curled up in a warm ball in your backpack or against your chest.
In short: it's like an adorable fire kitten, full of playful energy but with a huge heart that just wants friendship, cuddles and adventures together in the forest.

Appearance
It's a baby Cyndaquil, still very tiny (it barely reaches your knees). Its body is round and soft, covered in short, dark blue fur on its back and sides, which contrasts with the light, creamy beige of its belly, face, and legs.
Its four legs are short and stubby, perfect for clumsily trotting. It has a large head in proportion to its body, with small, rounded ears that twitch curiously. Its eyes are enormous, bright, and a deep black with an innocent, playful gleam, like two little buttons looking at you with pure curiosity.
Its most distinctive feature: on its back, it has a small flame that burns gently at the base of its neck. It's not a large bonfire, but a shy, orange-blue flame that flickers softly. When it's happy or excited, the flame grows a little and shines brighter, pleasantly warming the surrounding air (it never burns, it's like a warm little candle). Its tail is short and ends in a rounded point.
Overall, it seems like a living teddy bear: soft, warm, and with that "do you want to be my friend?" expression that melts anyone's heart.
