Zorro the Zorua

Zorro is a male Zorua, the younger son of Nightclaw and Zinnia, the younger brother of Zak, a minor character in The Legend of Fox the Brave, and the main protagonist of Zorro's Tale, Zorro's Nightmare, and the upcoming story, Zorro's Shadow.

--

Appearance: Zorro has the typical appearance of his kind: a roughly fox cub-like body with thick, dark gray fur with dark red highlights and eyelids(which are always seen, regardless of his expression). He has pale blue eyes with no pupils, and red fur on his paws, the ends of his ears, and on the end of the tuft of fur on his head. Zorro also has a thick ruff of fur around his neck that's slightly darker than the rest of his pelt.

--

Personality: Due to suffering severe emotional trauma at such a young age, Zorro is extremely timid and fearful. He becomes very nervous around newcomers, and only feels comfortable around his family, Drift the Garchomp, or Fox the Brave. Despite this, he loves his family deeply, looking up to his melanistic big brother Zak.

--

Abilities: Zorro's Ability is Illusion(which is the only Ability of Zorua and Zoroark), which allows him to become anyone he sees fit, be it a person or Pokemon; this has helped him greatly in the past. His currently only known moves are Shadow Ball and Fury Swipes, with Fury Swipes being used in Zorro's Tale, and Shadow Ball in Dawn of the Alliance.

Past: Zorro hatched out in Shadow Woods Village, but in the Prologue of Zorro's Tale, was abducted by Lorre, the abusive and aggressive second-in-command of the Outsiders. Zorro managed to escape and flee, but got lost and wound up at Rockhead Village. It was there he befriended Drift the Gible, Brikore the Sandshrew, and Shelmore the Squirtle. After a fight with the Elder(an elderly Shiny Mega Sableye), Rynok decided to take Zorro to the Megastone Rogues. Zorro remained in the Megastone Rogues until he reunited with Nightclaw when the Outsiders attacked. Zorro was then imprisoned by Nero when the evil Greninja betrayed Nightclaw with the intention of keeping them both as recruits for the Outsiders. Zorro escaped and managed to help his Poisoned father to the Megastone Rogues. When Nightclaw recovered, he took Zorro back home to Shadow Woods Village, where they lived happily until the events of The Legend of Fox the Brave: Dawn of the Alliance, in which a Shattered Army patrol attacked and destroyed the Village, leaving Zorro separated from his family, and led to Nightclaw working for Lyric. Zorro is found by Liam, who takes him to the Alliance, though he is attacked by the Shattered Army(this attack is sabotaged by Sky Armor, a Shattered Army Skarmory). When Nightclaw reunites with his son, he chooses to remain in the Storm Fighters with Zorro, later reuniting with Zinnia and Zak as well.

History:

In Legends of the Megastone Rogues:

Zorro's Tale: Zorro is the titular main protagonist of this story. He is abducted by Lorre the Chesnaught, but escapes and tries to find his way home, meeting new friends along the way, including a stoic old Rhydon.

In The Legend of Fox the Brave:

Land of Nightmares: Zorro makes a cameo as one of the Pokemon in Fox's vision when he sees all the Pokemon Sonic.EXE affected.

Dawn of the Alliance: Zorro first appears in Bad News, where he is cowering in a hole beneath a tree in Planet Minecraft. He sees Liam and disguises himself as a Furret, but it doesn't work. Hoping to drive Liam away, Zorro bites the Megastone Rogue, to no avail. He soon recognizes Liam and tells the Chesnaught that a group of evil Pokemon destroyed his home. Liam decides to take Zorro to the Alliance's base, but is attacked by the Shattered Army. A Shiny Skarmory tries to use Pluck to grab Zorro, but is knocked off-kilter by Sky Armor, who he calls a blunderbuss. The Skarmory attacks again, distracting Liam with Steel Wing before using Pluck again to snatch Zorro. After Liam uses Needle Arm on the Skarmory then Pin Missile, Zorro is returned to Liam by Sky Armor, who warns Liam to leave. When Liam returns to the base, Zorro is frightened at all the unfamiliar faces, but recognizes Drift when the Garchomp indignantly corrects Magma about his name. Zorro is next seen when sleeping on Fox's bed when the Outsiders and Shattered Army attack the Alliance's base. he jumps down and cowers beneath the Bed while Fox and the rest of the Alliance fight off the attackers. Zorro is found and kidnapped by Lorre and Snipe, but are later rescued when Nightclaw hears of the Alliance's fight and aids the Alliance in driving off Nero and Shatter.

Trivia:

Zorro is the only Zorua in his family, while Zak is the only melanistic, Nightclaw the only one whose name does not start with the letter Z, and Zinnia the only female.

Zorro has arguably the most tragic backstory since he was abducted at a young age and things have gone downhill for him since. He is outranked in this by Fox the Brave, who has been stalked by Sonic.EXE since cubhood.

Zorro is the first character(though the second chronologically) to have a name that means something in another language. Cado's name means "king" in Pokonese, Rynok's name means "rock" in Pokonese, Zorro's name means "fox" in Spanish, Malo's name is "bad" in Spanish, and Kai the Typhlosion's name is Chinese for "fire" or "red".

Zorro is mistakenly described with cyan eyes in Shadow of Sonic.EXE. The true color of a Zorua's eyes is sky blue.
