Daryun is immensely protective of Arslan and would give his life to protect him. He once had stayed in the palace when he became the crown prince at the age of 5, but before and after that, he lived outside the palace and studied at a private school.ĭaryun is Arslan's personal trainer who originally serves him to an eminent fault. Arslan was told that they died from food poisoning after drinking wine. Until 10-11, he was raised by a wet nurse and her husband who was a knight. There is a contradiction among volumes of the novel). In Japanese, first-person singular pronoun he uses is "Watashi (私)". Though he is greatly sympathetic and caring to even those who have done him wrong, when any kind of harm is brought upon his most faithful companions such as Daryun, he is shown to be surprisingly unforgiving. As his journey progresses, he begins to become more thoughtful and wise despite his age, not only improving his strategical tactics but also coming to understand the many perspectives that come from different people. Arslan is also shown to be inexplicably considerate and loving to those who are close to him, which even stretches to those he has spoken with briefly. Despite his naivety and benevolence, the young prince is intelligent and has enough physical strength to hold his own in battle. Because of that he is often described as being odd. However, he is willing to do whatever it takes to protect his friends, family and kingdom. He is kind to both his allies and enemies, and prefers not to engage in unnecessary conflict. Time and time again, Arslan has proved himself as a very gentle and empathetic individual. In the original novels, the Parsian knight Daryun remarks upon Arslan's countenance as being indisputably attractive, to such terms that the prince would attract the enamored affections of their country's noblewomen upon his physical culmination as an adult. Arslan was especially petite and feminine-looking at age eleven, but his body shape and height went on to flourish into that of well enough caliber at age fourteen. In all the adaptations of The Heroic Legend of Arslan, this character is depicted as an effeminate boy with long hair and blue eyes, whereas only the depiction of his hair color is changed frequently. Arslan's basic appearance is the same throughout the different adaptations: that of a fragile and weak boy, due to which people usually consider him a weakling.
