## **Physical Appearance**

### **Normal Appearance**

Xenra usually appears as a Unovan Zoroark with pure black fur. She has a long snout and limbs, a skinny, yet muscular frame, and short stature. Her eyes are yellow and she has a scar on her right arm. She has a large mane with a yellow bangle and wears a yellow collar around her neck. Each hand has five claws and each foot has three for toes.

### **Unovan Zorua**

As the Unovan form of Zorua, Xenra has a ruff of fur encircling her neck and a short, bushy with a split tip. She has a large tuft of fur on top of her head and larger, rounder eyes.

In both forms, she retains her normal fur and eye color.

### **Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark**

As the Hisuian form of Zorua, Xenra's ears have split tips. Her tail, the ruff around her neck, and the tuft of hair on her head are now longer with withering tips and have a smoother appearance.

As Zoroark, Xenra gains ovular spots resembling eyes on her arms and legs. Her tail is longer, but skinnier and more ragged-looking in appearance. Her mane has grown longer and now covers the right side of her face. There is long, withering fur dangling from her elbows and thighs.

She retains her normal fur and eye color in both forms.

### **True Form**

Xenra's true form is a mix of Unovan Zoroark and a Kitsune. She is now twice her normal size and possesses seven long, bushy, swiping tails. She has long, withering strands of fur trailing from her mane, shoulders, elbows, and haunches. Yellow bracelets now surround her wrists, and she gains raised ridges of hard bone on her back, arms, and legs. She now has larger, pointier ears. The ruff of fur on her chest and shoulders has grown to cover the upper half of her torso. Her now larger mane has also extended and flows out over her back. Her eyes turn red when angered.

## **History**

Xenra was originally a kitsune who had constant difficulty finding enough food to get by. As a result, she began stealing food from settlements, disguising herself as a Unovan Zoroark, though she was eventually caught in the act and pursued by angry people. During the confrontation, Xenra revealed her true form before mowing down wave after wave of people who attacked her. However, a large tanuki, who was the guardian of human settlements, attacked and defeated her before she could cause any more trouble. Xenra fled to the Unova Region, masquerading as a Unovan Zoroark, hoping to find refuge, but was constantly harassed by other Pokémon as well as trainers wanting to catch her. She tried to hunt, but got injured by a group of Mightyena and fled, stopping near a city. A group of trainers looking for a Zoroark later found her lying on the ground and took her to a Pokémon center.

On the following night, Xenra escaped and fled to the Hisui region. However, her wounds, which never healed properly, became infected, and she soon realized that any Pokémon foreign to the region unprepared for the freezing cold couldn't survive its harsh conditions. Because of this, she eventually died from a combination of starvation, sickness caused by her infected injuries, fatigue, frostbite, and hypothermia. Soon after her death, though, she was reborn through spite of all those who'd interfered with her freedom and took on some of the traits of Zoroark's Hisui form, becoming her normal hybrid form and hiding her true form within. Now able to withstand Hisui's harsh climate, Xenra quickly adapted, learning the best places to sleep and find enough food to survive. She eventually started calling the Region her home.

Years later, a group of Pokémon from the Yawaka Warrior Tribe came to the Hisui region looking for a hardy individual to join their ranks. They found Xenra wandering through the woods and ambushed her, quickly subduing her with drugs and dragging her back to their docked ship. They sailed to the Unova Region and took Xenra to their home in the large mountain range known as the Tenko Mountains. There, Xenra was taken in as a new warrior after she proved herself worthy by defeating an Aggron in combat. Though she still desperately wanted her freedom and most of the Tribe members didn't willingly accept her, Xenra was forced to accept her new responsibilities and pledged her life to the Tribe, adapting to their culture in the hopes that if she proved herself capable of living alone, the Tribe might let her go. However, as time passed, she realized that the Tribe wanted to keep her permanently; therefore, she began to formulate a plan to escape and return to Hisui.

### **Chapter 1: The Punishment**

Xenra wakes up one morning in the warriors' cave to a cold mountain wind and the sound of a horn blowing outside. She listens as her denmates rouse around her and stretch themselves, noticing that some watch with pleased looks as the sun rises. Xenra admits to herself that the pinkish-orange sky is beautiful to look at from a high place. She blinks the sleep out of her eyes and watches as the other warriors head out into the camp for breakfast. However, she chooses to stay inside the cave, knowing she isn't part of the Tribe and never will be. She also knows that many of the other Tribe members feel the same and refuses to participate in whatever's happening outside. Angrily, she turns her back on the rest of the warriors, who look at her with concern, and stares at the wall and reflects on the past six months, the amount of time she's lived with the Tribe. She realizes that Ilfe, the Tribe's leader, still wants her, and feels as if she's being used just for her power, thinking that nobody wants to know her opinion. Xenra feels a fresh wave of anger and expresses her longing to confront Ilfe and rip off his face, trying to find out why he won't listen to her.

Her thoughts are interrupted by approaching footsteps. Xenra turns around to see her Dragonite Tribemate Jake glaring at her. She feels her body stiffen and clenches her jaw at the sight of him, reflecting on how he'd challenged her at every turn since she joined the Tribe. She also reminisces how Jake is one of the most popular members of the Tribe. Xenra now fixes Jake with a level gaze, decided to be civil and speak with an even tone, caring not to give anything away. She asks what he wants, and Jake coolly replies that Ilfe wants to talk to her. Wondering what he wants with her now, Xenra marches past Jake into the camp, noticing the familiar emotions emanating from everyone as they turn to stare at her. The crowd gathered at the foot of the rock where Ilfe stands lets her through, and the Zoroark stops a foot from the base of the rock before her leader. She glares up at him, ignoring the snide whispers behind her. Ilfe looks back down at her, his eyes giving nothing away, then silences the Tribe.

Xenra inquires to Ilfe in a clipped tone if he asked for her, to which he says yes. He states she hasn't been following orders and it isn't the way to go when a leader asks her to perform vital tasks. Jake booms his agreement, crying that all Xenra does is mope around when she's not hunting. He goes on to add that she sneaks out at night, doesn't help anyone, and is rebellious and defiant, finishing with his opinion that she's no good to the Tribe. Xenra hears murmurs of agreement, feeling some mistrustful eyes bore into the back of her skull. She blames Ilfe for this since he brought her here against her will, calling him a senile old fool. She growls as she insists she doesn't belong in the Tribe or work well with people, backing away from the base of the rock.

Ilfe jumps down and glares at her, rumbling that there's room for improvement. He tells Xenra she'll begin working with the students and teach them how to fight better as punishment for her defiance. He finishes by telling her that the Tribe is very lucky to have a powerful Pokémon such as herself and they couldn't bear losing her. Xenra scornfully huffs and spits there is nothing she could teach them. However, Ilfe is adamant, telling her she has powers many of the others don't. When Xenra tries to leave, Ilfe blocks her path, commanding her to work with the apprentices immediately. Xenra complies, realizing she lost the argument and that she can't disobey a direct order. She turns and head out of the camp toward the nearby training area with the twenty students following her.

## **Quotes**

"I thought you loved me, Ryan, I really did. Now I realize that it was all a sham. If you never want to see me again, fine. Just don't go to the Hisui Region, because that's where my home is. It's so cold that you wouldn't last a day there." - Xenra willingly accepting the fact that Ryan is disowning her, *A Zoroark's Path*, Chapter 3
