Mostly for practical reasons(like making sure she has enough water in the desert) if a water bender/I personally love badass heroes who can hold their own without any powers in a powered setting(if a non bender).
Male || 16 || Critter "Watch out, world! I’m gonna be a hero, whether you like it or not!"
Personality
Foxley is the classic, stars in his eyes, wannabe hero. He's up for anything that'll help the people, including saving cats(that are usually bigger than him) from trees, saving princesses from dragons(whether they want to be or not), and just saving innocent civilians from anything dangerous in general. He would love to save the whole of Aeldun from an evil overlord, not really understanding the full scale of evil an evil overlord would have to be to be, well, an evil overlord, and also not thinking about how many atrocities they would pull, but anyway, because there (thankfully) isn't one, Foxley settles for helping others instead.
He also hates being seen as helpless and feeble, and will often work himself to exhaustion to get stronger and be seen as weak, often collapsing in his mech suit(whether it looks like a normal human or has Gundam-like armor on) when his body gets to a certain point that it can't handle the pain anymore.
As for how he acts while being in his mech suit, he acts like how he thinks one of the heroes in the storybooks he read as a kid would act: loud, friendly, and larger than life(he would be flirtatious, too, but for some reason, he isn't into any species(including other Critters) of any gender, so he just doesn't bother). He often regales anyone who will listen about all the things he's supposedly done(but which most of them he can do with his mech suit), but will readily help people, too, both because he genuinely wants to and he also secretly loves all the attention and praise he gets when he does.
Appearance
I've already drawn his real form(just pretend that his tail is attached to his butt; I forgot to do that while drawing him), so just know that his fur and ears are orange and white, and his eyes are a light green. He's also 2 feet and 9 inches tall.
As for his mech suit, its default form is a handsome, square-jawed "hunk of a man" named Rob Lightning. He has a lot of "muscles", he's 6 feet and six inches tall, and he's totally not what Foxley would want to look like in a perfect world plus all his Critter features, what are you talking about-
Also, don't worry, he also comes with clothes(the typical fantasy adventurer clothes, to be precise)!
Its battle form, meanwhile, has armor that looks exactly like the main Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam, except the armor is mainly orange, white, and silver.
Biography
Okay, so-
Basically, Foxley is from a more technologically advanced society than the rest of Aeldun.
Living in the far away mountains, the Critters have a very distinct niche of being able to build incredible inventions and machines, though they’re also very secretive and only give the things they make to “a select few people”(AKA, Isekai heroes, chosen ones, and chosen Isekai heroes).
They’re usually not in the spotlight, and are side characters/cute mascots in another hero’s/hero team’s story.
Foxley, however, doesn’t want to be a cute mascot; he wants to be a hero, and has wanted to be one ever since he was a little kid, reading about various heroes from storybooks while the other young Critters were learning the trade of machinery.
He knew he wouldn't be taken seriously if he went out as himself, however, so he built Rob Lightning fairly easy and, after running away from his small mountain town at age 15, made a new life for himself as Aeldun's Friendly Neighborhood(?) Critter/Mech Suit.
To this day, nobody knows what Rob Lightning really is, or that Foxley is piloting him. All they know is that he's seemingly a capable, if childish, adventurer, though no one says that he's childish to his face.
Powers & Abilities
When he's piloting Rob Lightning, Foxley has access to a vast array of abilities, including super strength(can only easily move things three times his size and smaller; anything more than that, and he starts to struggle), super durability, super speed, and limited flight(can only handle going seven feet in the air without problems, and doesn't often use this ability due to Rob's feet and hands going into its body in order to make room for its giant propellers).
Foxley himself has no powers, but he makes up for it with his genius level intellect(concerning machinery and robotics, anyway), his quick wit, and his sharp observation and resourcefulness skills.

I'm kinda leaning towards the cute critter right now, though I do like the other two ideas as well! I'll just have to write them all down and see what grabs me the most, to be honest.
