Anime Mongoose in a Castle Courtyard

An anime-style mongoose with large expressive eyes and sleek brown-cream fur stands in a grand castle courtyard. The character wears a lightweight fantasy scarf with subtle armor accents, poised dynamically as if about to sprint or leap. Surrounding scenery includes towering gray stone walls with crenellations, arched walkways, red and gold banners bearing a crest, a marble fountain, ivy creeping along the pillars, and glowing lanterns. The sky is twilight, casting warm, dramatic lighting with vivid cel-shaded colors and crisp linework. Dynamic perspective from slightly below, shallow depth of field, motion blur hints to emphasize speed and agility, painterly, high-detail anime aesthetic.
