Sulayman

Sulayman is the overarching protagonist of the 2017 animated drama film The Breadwinner.
He was the deceased older brother of Parvana and the eldest son of her family. Several years before the film's events, he died when picking up an explosive which he mistook for a toy. This had caused great grief and trauma for his family. 
Throughout the film, Parvana tells a story of a young boy, a representation of Sulayman himself, who saved a small village from a hoard of monsters.
He was voiced by Noorin Gulamgaus.
==Appearance==
Though he is never shown on screen, there are a few clues in the movie as to what Sulayman may have looked like. 
In Paravana's story, he is portrayed as a boy with long curly dark hair, a large unibrow, and a gap in his teeth, somewhat sharing a resemblance to Parvana's friend Shauzia. Whether or not this is fully indicative of his appearance however, is unknown.
When Parvana puts on Sulayman's clothes and cuts her hair short to look like a boy while shopping, her mother Fattema also states that she looks exactly like him, though this could be because of her grief towards her son, as Parvana essentially fills up his role as the family's breadwinner when Nurullah is arrested by the Taliban.
Regardless, it is known that he wore a white kufi, a white shirt and pants, and a brown vest.
==Personality==
Much of what Sulayman was like personality-wise while he was still alive can be inferred from Parvana's story, as she had based the protagonist of said story on her brother. In it, he is depicted as a selfless and charitable young boy who helps those in need.
==Trivia==
*Sulayman's name is derived from the Biblical king and Islamic prophet Solomon, which means "man of peace", reflecting Sulayman's seemingly kind-hearted and charitable nature while he was still alive.
