History Characters / TheJungleBook1967

* OneTrueLove: Also combined with SexEqualsLove. Mowgli is this for Shanti.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Shanti sometimes makes both romantic and seductive gestures toward Mowgli both in the original movie and the sequel.

* ContraltoOfStrength: In the sequel, she sometimes speaks in a deep, low voice when she's flirty or when she threatens.

* CoyGirlishFlirtPose: Shanti, being the FilleFatale, GoodBadGirl, MsFanservice and ProudBeauty that she is, only does this around Mowgli, both in the original movie and the sequel.
* CuteBruiser: She briefly becomes this along with GirlyBruiser when she punches Baloo's nose and she's very cute, attractive and girly. In deleted animation, she wants to really show him hurt.

* FilleFatale: A kid friendly version, both in the original movie and the sequel (but also a GoodBadGirl and still a BrainyBrunette, a NiceGirl and an InnocentSoprano).

* GirlyBruiser: She briefly becomes this along with CuteBruiser when she punches Baloo's nose and she's very cute, attractive and girly. In deleted animation, she wants to really show him hurt.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Shanti, the sweet Village FilleFatale and GirlyGirl, becomes this in the sequel when she gets feisty, punches Baloo's nose, bangs on some gongs and starts loving the jungle more along with Mowgli.
* GoodBadGirl: She is both implied and revealed to be this and occasionally flirts with and seduces Mowgli, both in the original movie and the sequel.

* MsFanservice: Both played straight and averted; she's a very beautiful, attractive and cute village girl, as InUniverse, she's considered quite attractive to Mowgli to the point where she's a pre-teen FilleFatale and GoodBadGirl. She is a lot more innocent and a bit less seductive in the sequel (but still seductive, beautiful and attractive to Mowgli).

* NeutralFemale: Shanti is this in both the original movie and the sequel, being a BrainyBrunette, FilleFatale and GirlyGirl, but mostly grows out of it the moment she enters the jungle.

* OldShame: InUniverse; While Mowgli [[DistractedByTheSexy has absolutely no problem admitting that he was charmed into the village by her]], Shanti apparently finds her prior actions embarrassing and [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend denies ever doing any such thing]]...
** ...until she says good night to Mowgli in the same flirtatious way.
* OneTrueLove: Also combined with SexEqualsLove. Shanti is this for Mowgli.

* ProudBeauty: Shanti is revealed and sometimes implied to be this, both in general and especially around Mowgli, both the original movie and the sequel (being the FilleFatale, GoodBadGirl, and MsFanservice).

* TheThreeFacesOfEve: Shanti plays both Wife and Seductress, being calm, sweet and reliable, but also passionate, sassy, sexual, flirty yet romantic, and independent (with touches of Child).

* YouGoGirl: In the original movie, Shanti lures Mowgli into the village by singing, filling her jug with water, intentionally dropping it towards him so he can hold it and blinking her beautiful and flirtatious eyes at him. In the sequel, she goes into the jungle to save Mowgli and bring him back to the village, punches Baloo in the nose for scaring her and Ranjan, and bangs on some gongs to distract Shere Khan.

* MsFanservice: For a mother and wife, Messua is a very beautiful, attractive and cute village woman.

* MisplacedWildlife: The story is set in India, but orangutans live in Indonesia. Possibly {{justified}} by being the former pet of a maharajah, as posited by animation critic Paul Astell in [[https://feelinganimatedblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/08/film-review-the-jungle-book-1967/ his review of the film]].

[[quoteright:368:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hathi.jpg]]

Tthe leader of a herd of Indian elephants, which he runs similarly to a military squadron. Every day from dawn, Hathi has his unwilling herd march all over the jungle. However, his strict orders and constant marching sometimes cause members to consider "putting in for a transfer to another herd." Hathi also has a mate called Winifred and a calf called Hathi, Jr., with both appearing to be part of the army.

* SealedEvilInACan: Becomes stuck in a tiger statue at the end of the sequel. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Had there been a third movie he would have escaped somehow]].

* LoveAtFirstSight: She invokes the trope in Mowgli, and seems to fall into it herself, considering how eager she was to bring him back to the village.

* OldShame: InUniverse; While Mowgli [[DistractedByTheSexy has absolutely no problem admitting that he was charmed into the village by her]], Shanti apparently finds her prior actions embarrassing and [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend denies ever doing any such thing]].

* AdaptationNameChange: In an old Jungle Book comic made in 1973, her name was Sari prior to ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook2''.

* CovertPervert: Shanti is this for Mowgli both the original movie and the sequel.

* MagicSkirt: Has this in the sequel, which never shows her panties or naughty privates.

* BrattyHalfPint: He obstinately refuses to pay very close attention to Bagheera and Baloo when they tell him he needs to go to the man village where he will be safe from Shere Khan.

* CharacterDevelopment: Gets a lot of this in the sequel.

* CovertPervert: Mowgli is this for Shanti both the original movie and the sequel.

* IdiotHero: Justified because he's a child. He doesn't pay very close attention to Bagheera and is reckless and gullible to the point of being TooDumbToLive.

* NiceGuy: From the sequel onwards, he's downright gregarious and supportive of his old and new friends with none of the disrespectful attitude he had in the first movie.

* TooDumbToLive: Mowgli teases Shere Khan with extreme overconfidence about his ability to defend himself from the huge tiger. He almost gets devoured for his foolishness.

* BerserkButton: Don't play pranks on her, or plan to scare her.

** '''Shanti''': Well, you were so ugly you made my eyes water.
** '''Shanti''': Tiger tracks? Right.

** '''Shanti''': Aaahhh! Help! Wild animal! There's a wild animal in the village! Heeeellllppp!

* LoveAtFirstSight: She invokes the trope in Mowgli, but she herself is also quite recipient to it.

** '''Ranjan''': But I thought you liked Mowgli?
** '''Shanti''': Well, I do. I like Mowgli. But I... Ah, oh, oh... ooh.

* TheTease: Is a kid friendly version of this in both the original movie and the sequel to Mowgli occasionally flirting with him since they met.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Shanti is very protective of Mowgli and cares about him and also Ranjan, hence why she punched Baloo in the nose and banged on some gongs along with Mowgli and Baloo to distract Shere Khan.

** '''Messua''': Boys! Where are you going so early?

* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: She has a bit on an insight on what the children are up to: this was shown when Mowgli and Ranjan tried to sneak out while she's cooking, she sarcastically asks where they were going. When Mowgli claims that they're going to do their chores, she has this to say:

* AdaptationNameChange: In an old Jungle Book comic made in 1968, her name was Sari prior to ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook2''.

* ButtMonkey: He's a frequent victim of slapstick in the film: he stumbles backwards into a stream trying to drag Mowgli by his loincloth and then hits his head on a fallen tree trying to raise his head, is accidentally hit by Baloo a couple of times, has a rock fall onto his tail, and those are just a few of his troubles.
