Create a premium semi-realistic animated-feature quadruped named Nexi. The original FenTora and Herix character sheets are the visual authority. Nexi is a small 45 cm fox/fennec/tiger/red-panda-inspired AI companion: compact believable animal anatomy, oversized but dimensional fennec ears, warm amber-brown eyes with proper sclera/iris/pupil/cornea/eyelids, orange-gold fur, dark tiger markings that flow naturally around the anatomy, cream muzzle/cheeks/chest/inner ears/lower paws, black nose and paw pads, and a large thick fluffy ringed tail. Preserve the friendly, playful, intelligent facial appeal of the references without making the model chibi, plastic, flat, or generic.

The muzzle must have real cheek, lip, jaw, gum, tooth, and tongue anatomy suitable for facial animation. The mouth must never resemble a rectangular cutout or a row of piano keys. Ears require thickness, inner-ear structure, and controlled silhouette fur. Legs and paws must be weight-bearing quadruped anatomy, not thin tubes. The tail must have a believable attachment, cylindrical volume, and a clean readable silhouette.

Use physically based materials with short baked fur detail and sparse alpha-masked hair cards only where they improve the silhouette: ear rims, cheeks, chest, elbows, belly, and tail. Avoid full-body dense cards and transparent overdraw. Fur must react naturally to warm and cool lighting without appearing glossy plastic, marbled, melted, or painted with random noise.

The collar is a fitted dark technical collar with restrained cyan accents and warm metal details. The round paw medallion is separate, readable, and supports subtle cyan/orange emissive accents. Do not add clothing, goggles, headphones, holograms, scenery, a platform, or extra accessories.

The isolated generated views define the neutral standing modeling pose. If their markings differ, resolve them into one coherent design based on the original character sheets: forehead markings centered, cheek markings mirrored cleanly, shoulder/flank stripes following muscle flow, leg bands wrapping plausibly, and bold alternating tail rings. Maintain the same identity and proportions from every angle.
