The Little Prince

The Little Prince is the titular character of the well-known novella and TV series based on the novel.

## Appearance

The Little Prince is a young, blond boy. He has deep blue eyes and he also has some freckles on his nose and cheeks that can be seen when he's close to the camera. He often wears a yellow scarf and a green shirt with matching green pants. At times during battle or serious moments, he dons a blue long overcoat with constellations and stars, wears a white shirt with puffy white pants, dark brown boots that go up to his knees, and holds a light-rapier.

## Personality

He is a kind, cunning, clever, slightly mischievous, easygoing, and lovely. He helps everyone he comes across and comes up with ingenious ideas. He is optimistic and never gives up. He has a strong sense of justice, visiting several planets to ensure the Snake does not poison them with his evil and defeating any foe that disturbs order. However, The Little Prince never kills any of his enemies and always tries to find a peaceful solution that makes everyone happy. He can sometimes also be kind of emotional when something bad happens to his friends.

He is patient, tolerant and always ready to listen. The Little Prince is considered a big brother figure of sorts as he never fails to reach out to others and is a true loyal friend others can count on to help them in any crisis.

He is a good musician but a terrible singer (although he really loves to sing), as revealed in the Planet of Music.

## Abilities

The drawings he keeps in his journal can be brought to life. He often uses his infamous sheep drawing to create a ladder or floating steps to reach tall places. He also carries a light-rapier that he can use to draw helpful creatures and bring them to life. Some of his common drawings include a large blue elephant or a strange, large solider who can roll into an offensive ball. However, one of his weaknesses is that he must use stardust to create his sword and without any stardust he cannot make any creations with his sword.

In addition, he is capable of talking to plants and animals.

I would also like to add that an additional ability of the little prince would be the ability to make its readers dream of anything they want to accomplish in life no matter the age. I find this ability extraordinary, as it breaks boundaries, and allows us to think beyond, find new ways of seeing the world we live in.

## Relationships

**Fox:** The fox is his best friend, who he has tamed and sees as family. He's basically the comic relief of the series, making jokes now and then. He knows how to make the Little Prince smile and he's always there for him (he cares for him just like a father figure), helping him during harsh time in the planet of the snake. The little prince hates to be far from the fox as it shows in the "Planet of the rose" when the little prince and fox are separated.

**Rose:** He is deeply in love with his Rose. He frequently thinks of her on his adventures but because of her delicate state, he cannot bring her with him on his adventures. Still, he always makes sure to write letters to her, reassuring that he is safe and to alleviate her loneliness, showing how he constantly thinks about her. In turn, she loves him very much and always worries about him. In season 3, the little prince accepts to help his Rose to find her planet. Rose can finally be with her prince on his journey. The little prince respects her choice if she wants to stay on her original planet but she decides to stay with her little prince and fox knowing that her place is near him.

**Snake:** The main antagonist of the series who the prince despises for messing with people and polluting many planets with his evil. He is also in love with the Rose and wants to take her away from the Little Prince. Unlike the snake, the little prince would never kill him. This can be seen clearly when, during a fight with him, the snake got caught in a field full of magnetized rocks and was trapped. (The stones attracted each other, pinched the snake that was in the middle of these magnetic stones and made it immobile.) Due to the immense pressure of the attraction of the gigantic stones, the snake lost consciousness for a short time, but survived. The little prince (he was not aware at this point that the snake was still alive) watched the event with horror and then felt great sadness, regret and guilt that he had killed a living being (even if it was this snake). This was only reinforced by Fox, who said that he did not see any sign of life from the snake. He started to reproach himself and said that he saw the snake as a living being. Even if the little prince despises him he seems to have some pity for him, as in the episode "New mission" when a sealed snake asks the little prince if he regrets sealing him and the little prince says that sometimes he regrets this decision. The little prince and the snake seem to be linked, as in "The planet of the rose" Snake said to the little prince that they are two sides of the same coin. In the "New mission" when the fox and the Rose free the snake from the little prince's notebook, the Little Prince suffers a heart attack in the same moment as the snake's round pupils deform into narrow slits. In "The planet of the rose" the same thing happens again, after the snake has eaten the algae who has killed Rose to save her, we see his narrow slits deform into round slits and close his eyes at the same moment the little prince who was unconscious open his eyes saying "Snake" showing that there is a bond between them. The little prince and the snake represent the ying and the yang, the light and the shadow. They represent the balance in the universe.
