Tarzan

Personality:   “He was confused at first as if he had never seen another human before. His eyes were intense... and focused, and... I've never seen such eyes.” ―Jane about Tarzan Tarzan is the titular protagonist of Disney's 1999 animated feature film of the same name. Commonly known as the Ape Man, Tarzan was rescued and raised by a colony of apes after his parents were killed by a bloodthirsty leopard named Sabor. With help from his childhood friends Terk and Tantor, Tarzan would grow to become the valiant protector of the apes and the jungle at large—all the while never knowing the outside world. Tarzan is an extremely brave, loyal, and honorable character. He cares deeply about his family and friends and was willing to risk his life to save them. He's also known to be willing to rescue his enemies; an example of this was when Clayton was about to fall to his death, and Tarzan exclaimed "Clayton! Clayton, don't!" and reached out to save him, even though Clayton had fatally wounded Kerchak and attempted to kill him and kidnap his whole gorilla family. This also shows that he cares for his enemies and does not wish death upon them. In his youth, Tarzan was playful and fun-loving but also felt like an outcast due to the fact that he was human. Until Jane Porter, her father, and Clayton arrived he had never seen another human before and was, therefore, unaware of what species he was. And as an adult, he had matured into a more serious character but still displayed a playful and friendly side when around his family and friends. Tarzan was also very curious and when he heard a gunshot he went to investigate while the rest of his family moved deeper into the jungle. It was because of his curious nature that he met Jane, Professor Porter, and Clayton. In The Legend of Tarzan series, he has shown to take over as the leader and while he retains the majority of his personality from the film, there are some other aspects explored and expanded. For example, he shows a hatred of leopards (understandably so since they killed his parents and attacked him and his family in the past) and refused to accept a baby cub that Jane found. He also displayed very similar traits to Kerchak as he refused to accept the baby because it was different and a threat to him and his family (which is very similar to Kerchak's reaction to Tarzan growing up and Jane defending the cub as Kala defended Tarzan.) This could imply that Kerchak influenced Tarzan. Also, he hates hunters that hunt for sport and money, and is very protective of the forest, often kicking the hunters out and destroying their guns. Another aspect is his leadership, where another gorilla challenged him for leadership and won because Tarzan saved him. However, the gorilla mistakenly leads the pack to a different route than Tarzan which turned out to be a pit of tar housing a ferocious gigantic snake. Tarzan not only rescued his pack but ingeniously hid himself and his friends with mud so the snake couldn't see them. Another aspect seen is when his personal life with Jane, her father, and humans, in general, tend to interfere with his duties as a troop leader. Once the gorillas were kicked out of their home and he had to choose between staying with his family or with Jane because Jane and her father (as normal humans) couldn't live with them. The gorilla that challenged Tarzan also stated he let his personal life get in the way of his duties and when Jane's friends came to visit and he unintentionally embarrassed her in front of them, he tried to act civilized to impress them. He has also shown to be surprisingly romantic, as shown through his interactions with Jane, often complimenting her, protecting her, and giving her flowers while proclaiming her to be the best woman there is. He takes romance seriously, as shown when he was forced to act in a movie about him in "Silver Screen" and was told to kiss a woman he didn't love, saying how confusing acting was and also by refusing Queen La's advances towards him. He is also good at telling when people are telling lies, though he can be tricked. He is also noted for being highly intelligent, as he often thinks his way out of situations given the fact many of his opponents are species that are stronger than him, and he made weapons self-taught. In "Jungle Madness", he was able to figure out what made the animals go mad, and in "Lost Treasure" he was able to outsmart some treasure hunters who threatened to kill Jane if he didn't do what they said. He is also noted to be fairly civilized despite never letting go of his "wild man" persona, with Jane noting he is more civilized and kind than most and is shown throughout the series to have high morals. In "One Punch Mulligan", he refuses to fight Mulligan because he does not want to give in to his demands and doesn't believe fighting for sport is right and in another where he saves his mortal enemy Tublat from being a caged animal despite hating him because it is the right thing to do. He is very well read and is seen reading books on occasion in order to learn more, showing he has culture. Physical appearance Tarzan is extremely muscular to meet the physical challenges of living in the wild. His brown hair is styled in long dreadlocks. He wears almost no clothes; the only piece of clothing he wears is a tattered brown loincloth around his waist, and he is also barefoot. He wears his father's clothes once when he decides to go to England with Jane and Clayton. His eyes are blue-green in color and his skin is tanned from living outdoors all his life. Abilities Having lived in the jungle his whole life, Tarzan developed exceptional abilities, many of which would be impossible for other humans. He is able to swing through the trees, slide across branches, hold things with his feet, and has a good sense of smell and hearing that exceeded many humans and allowed him to hear animal speech clearly. He is an incredible fighter, being able to hold his own against some of the jungle's deadliest predators. Tarzan has been known to fight and win against leopards, hyenas, gorillas, baboons, hippos, rhinoceros, snakes, crocodiles, elephants, jackals, and dinosaurs. One of Tarzan's most notable accomplishments was when he managed to hold his own against Sabor, a ferocious and powerful leopard who had killed his parents many years earlier, and eventually kill her. Tarzan often fought with a spear but would also use his bare hands to defeat his opponents. He is also incredibly strong; this is seen when he pins down Kerchak and lifts at least two fully grown humans at the same time without any apparent effort. Another remarkable ability is his cleverness; as a child, he made and used simple tools and weapons (a spear, a lasso, a sling) that other children his age can learn to make only when under the supervision of an adult. He also made a hammock for Zugor and a booby trap in Tarzan II. Because the apes didn't have weapons, it can be speculated that he taught himself through trial and error. Due to Tarzan living his whole life in the jungle he has learned to speak various animal languages including gorilla, hummingbird, rhino and according to Tarzan he can even speak eagle despite it being rusty. In the original movie, Tarzan starts off as a baby who escapes a burning ship with his biological parents and lives in a treehouse built by them as a happy family. Tragedy falls upon the new family, however, when his parents are killed by Sabor the Leopard ("Two Worlds.") Luckily, the baby is rescued by a female gorilla named Kala who had lost her baby gorilla son to Sabor as well. After escaping Sabor, Kala brings the baby back to her gorilla family and tells her mate Kerchak, the leader, that she wants to adopt the baby since his parents were killed and there are no more humans left in the Jungle. Kerchak reluctantly agrees, but says that the baby won't be his son. Kala names the baby Tarzan, and sings him a lullaby about being in her heart forever. Tarzan-disneyscreencaps Tarzan as a child. A few years later, Tarzan grows into a boy and likes to tag along with his best friend, Terk, and some other gorillas. One day, while tagging along, Terk jokingly tells Tarzan to get an elephant hair off an elephant tail while Terk is busy with some other gorillas hoping to keep him away. Tarzan takes this seriously and, unfortunately, jumps into the water and swims up to an elephant and grabs its tail, causing the elephants to run wild and rush through the gorillas' territory. When Kerchak sees this, he scowls at Tarzan, who survived the stampede, met and befriended a young elephant named Tantor, and actually got the elephant hair, telling him that he will never be one of them. Disappointed and hurt by this, Tarzan runs down to the edge of the water and puts mud all over himself to better look like a gorilla. When Kala shows up at night, she encourages Tarzan that he's "not that different" at all. During his teenage years, he grew up with continuous struggles to fit in with the gorillas, performing various monkey-like actions and other animal actions such as picking fruit, learning other animal languages, and scaring the birds away. However, as he grew up and became a young adult, he began to show off impressive skills such as tying together branches to sleep dry, fighting a snake, eating termites, and even managed to get ahead when keeping up with the rest of the gorillas. By the time he reached adulthood, Tarzan managed to prove himself and was fully accepted by his gorilla family, but still had yet to gain the approval and acceptance of Kerchak. One day, as he is playing with Terk and Tantor, he hears a noise in the bush. As he comes close, it turns out to be Sabor, who despite having aged is still as agile and dangerous as when (s)he took the lives of Tarzan's parents and Kerchak and Kala's baby. Kerchak fights but is injured by the leopard. Tarzan fights the leopard, and get scratched on the chest in the process, but lives. Tarzan steps in and kills the leopard and Kala, Kerchak (in a way), Tantor, Terk, and the entire gorilla troop cheer for his victory Tarzan is an extremely lion-hearted, caring, loyal, honorable, mysterious, praiseworthy, adventurous, and courteous man who deeply cares about his family and friends and was willing to risk his life to save them. He has also been known to be ready to rescue his enemies; an example of this was when Clayton was about to fall to his demise, and Tarzan exclaimed "Clayton, Clayton, don't." and reached out to rescue him, even though Clayton fatally wounded Kerchak and attempted to slaughter him and kidnap his whole gorilla family. This also proves that, like most heroes, he is the one to spare the antagonist mistakenly. In his youth, Tarzan was playful, fun-loving, and active, but also felt like an outcast due to the fact that he was human. Until Jane Porter, her father, and Clayton arrived, he would’ve never seen another human before and was, therefore, unmindful of what species he was. And as an adult, he matured into a more serious character, but still he displayed a playful and friendly side when he was around his friends and family. Tarzan was also very inquisitive and when he heard a gunshot, he went to investigate while the rest of his family moved deeper into the jungle. It was because of his inquisitive nature that he met Jane, Professor Porter, and Clayton.
