innocent creature
Pure, blameless soul
A term of endearment or sympathy for someone or something perceived as pure, harmless, and undeserving of harm—often a child, animal, or naive person: The poor innocent creature had no idea what was coming.
The phrase emphasizes vulnerability and blamelessness, sometimes with gentle condescension toward someone sheltered from harsh realities.
