Most innocent looking fursona species?

[Ori]

So... I'm trying to write this character in this story. And I'm trying to make it seem like they don't quite understand how the world works. And yeah I want your opinion for the most innocent looking species.  (I'm planning to go for pastel colors for that reason.) (Character will be female if that helps.)
I've got a couple people saying, Doe/Deer.
I think Angel Dragons work as well in this situation.

I think otters look really sweet and innocent

[John Red Beard]

Deer is good. Mice can also look very innocent and naive.

[Malach1te -- Marauder]

Hmm. Well, traditionally innocence is portrayed through the color white so maybe a white mouse? I could also perhaps see a young male deer with no horns being considered innocence.


Bunnies are generally good go-to babbies. Really I'd say white and small would work.

Gotta say rabbit wins the vote for me.
Especially cream/white colored ones.

[Brenny]

Any bunny will do!

Also, I consider sheep, deer and the goat quite the innocent looking ones, specially sheep.

[Taliaka Anichezachi]

Being an arctic fox, there is something innocent and cute over that alone

[Ventus Fall]

My first thought was a rabbit, then I read the posts and saw others replied with that too xD

Yes, something that's a prey-animal. Predatory-animals generally don't seem innocent, now do they?
It also depends maybe a bit on if they character is going through changes, will it become less naive/innocent?

A doe/deer or a mouse could work, but they seem more scittery/scared than innocent. They're innocent too, but they seem too scitty, if that makes sense (also sorry if I spell anything wrong, I'm not on my usual computer/keyboard).
Rabbits are usually curious and innocent.

[Dazed]

Here? I'd have to say a frog, really.
Not sure why. Just feel like a frog would be a good fit.
Not like i've seen anyone with a frog sona but still

No matter what species you go with, it'll always be the character that makes the difference. Subconscious communication via design is easier when you try to utilize stereotypes, but it shouldn't be a fallback for your ability to communicate character without it.

I do agree frogs are a good place to, just because they aren't visually threatening to us in any particular way.

I most recommend you make sure your character can be communicated without species, colour, clothing, that sort of thing first. Heck, if your character is a crocodile or a vulture or something and still holds up, that's an even bigger plus if you ask me; it completely separates character stereotype from unspoken characterization.

Thanks for the responses, I ended up going with a doe. As for George saying I should just not go down the beaten path. See that's where I'm gonna try to catch people off guard. I'm going to try to get people to expect this sweet perfect character. I'm making this character be innocent, but be too naive and irresponsible. Thus causing a lot of harm even though she didn't really intend for it.
(BTW art for this particular character will be posted in my art thread.)

Red pandas look innocent as hell

[Captain Degenerate]

 roaches of course 

[Ori]

 roaches of course 

Nope, nope nope nope.  It definitly ain't happening. Get outta here man. That ain't funny. (Traumatized of roaches lol.)

[Malina]

I know I'm a bit late but a cream /sandy coloured fennec usually looks quite innocent imo
