* DracoInLeatherPants: He can be seen as this to an extent, since he's probably the most popular character in the series due to him being [[DarkIsNotEvil darker]] than his siblings and, frankly, than most protagonists.

Should probably go on the works page, since it applies to everyone in the scene BUT Edmund.


* ArbitrarySkepticism : In ''Prince Caspian'', he is the only one to remember that Lucy was right about Narnia in the previous book, and thus it's silly to dismiss her claims about seeing Aslan as lies or her imagination.

Cor “Shasta”

!! Cor, also known as Shasta, was a Prince and later King of Archenland. The son of King Lune, Cor was kidnapped while still an infant and stolen away to Calormen. Years later Cor would return and save Archenland from the greatest danger it had ever faced.

Cor and Aravis would also have a son who would later go on to be King Ram the Great.

* ABoyAndHisHorse
* AFriendInNeed: When Shasta tells the horse that he really needs someone who could tell him whether the nobleman is evil, Bree reveals his speech to tell him that he is. Which gives Bree the opening to suggest that they could run away together
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Aravis
* BigDamnHeroes: He pulls this twice. The first time when he rushes to protect Aravis and Hwin from what he believed was a hungry lion chasing after them. The second one was when he ran non-stop, after having been through almost a whole book's worth of shit — most recently a potential suicide mission through a desert — to warn King Lune about the impending invasion

* MosesInTheBullrushes: Shasta aka Prince Cor

!! Eustice Scrubb

The Pevensie's annoying younger cousin. He first appears in ''The Voyage of the Dawntreader''. He fancies himself (not entirely without reason) to be rather intelligent, and considers this a valid reason for nurturing an arrogant attitude toward his cousins. He accopanies Lucy and Edmond on their third trip to Narnia. Upon learning that Narnia is real, his feelings toward it go from amused disdain to fear and outright hatred. It isn't until [[spoiler:transforming into a dragon (long story) and having Aslan change him back by breaking the curse that his attitude towards Narnia and his cousins change for the better.]]

He later appears as the main character in ''The Silver Chair'' and as one of the main characters in ''The Last Battle''. In these books, his adventuring companion is his friend, Jill Poll instead of his cousins.

** Also occured earlier on with Edmund: She attempted to get the four human children to come to her frozen palace by bribing Edmund with hot chocolate and Turkish Delights, but the plan by luring them there with food backfired when Edmund, namely thinking only for his own stomach, was the only one who arrived at her palace, with him not telling them.
