History Characters / ArjunTheWarriorPrince

* DisabledLoveInterest: She loves her husband dearly. Even though he is blind.

* ArcherArchetype: Arjuna is a talented archer. He didn't get this good by being lucky or slacking off. He can be seen practicing outside his master's school or at midnight. He has every traits of your typical archer down to the long flowy hair, the slim body and impeccable aiming precision.

* BloodBrothers: Krishna and Arjun. They go on many wars together. Growing more and more closer as brothers in arms.

* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Putting his deeds aside, Duryudhan is a very [[EvilIsSexy good looking man]]. Too bad his character and mentality don't match his good looks.

Along with his brothers, [[spoiler: Arjuna spent his last year of exile in the kingdom of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsya_Kingdom Virata]]. Adopting new [[SecretIdentity secret identities]] and [[LivingADoubleLife new lives]], he disguised himself as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brihannala Brihannala]], the female Art, Music and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharatanatyam Dance]] teacher]]. Before the last day of the exile came to an end, [[spoiler: the kuravas found out their hiding and launched an attack on the city with the help of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigarta_Kingdom some bandits]], presumably to steal their cattle]]. But in reality, [[spoiler: they wanted to drag the Pandavas out of anonymity]]. While the king of Virata [[spoiler: leaves to thrash the marauding bandits, leaving an unprotected city behind, where the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uttara_(Mahabharata) young prince]] is the only one left to fight]]. The young prince goes to face the kuru army with Brihannala as his charioteer. But when he [[spoiler: sees the Kurava army, he loses his nerve and [[RunOrDie attempts to flee]]. Only for Brihannala to calm him down with a RousingSpeech before [[GenderReveal revealing his true identity to the young prince]]. Defending the land that had given him refuge, [[EarnYourHappyEnding Arjuna defeats the Kuru army and emerges victorious alongside prince Uttar and the movie concludes]]]].

* AttractiveBentGender: He is actually a very convincing, good-looking woman. When he is [[CrossDresser disguised as one that is]]. Complete with a lipstick and a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bindi_(decoration) bindi]]. His handsome face and his slim physique really helped him pass as a the fairer sex.

* TheHero: In this movie and in the Mahabharata books.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: After he fixed a city that was desolate and war-ridden, turning it into the most beautiful city on earth. He made luxurious homes for the inhabitants, who before, lived like homeless in ruins. Giving them proper homes befitting human beings and protected their city with armies and weapons. It's only logical that [[FolkHero they love their new king dearly and blessing him for a long prosperous reign]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Inverted. Despite being a leader of an army, he, like pretty much everyone at court during the dice game, was crippled by the helplessness to act and do something to prevent matters from escalating from bad to worse.

* GentleGiant: He is the nicest, most kindest member out of the Kurus.

* IHaveManyNames: He, like many other characters in the Mahabharata, have many other names to go by. But his main name is Bhishima. Oddly it's not the name used in the movie. As the king calls him by his lesser known name "Pitamah". Which literally means "Grandfather". Implying Bhishima's [[SemiDivine divine origin]]. And that he is [[OlderThanTheyLook much much older than he looks]]. Even older than the king himself.

* BareYourMidriff: Wearing a sari requires the belly part to be partially or fully exposed. So he keeps tugging his shawl down to hide his manly torso.

* TheChick: She is the token girl of the 5 pandava family group.

* WidowWoman: She is after the death of her husband, king Pandu.

* IconicItem: His WeaponOfChoice, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astra_(weapon) Agneyastra]], a supernatural bow and arrows.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yudhishthira Yudhishthira]] is the First and the eldest son of King Pandu and Kunti and the {{Deuteragonist}} to the main character, Arjuna. After the death of Pandu, the Pandavas went to live in Hastinapura where they were brought up together with their cousins, the Kauravas. Along with his brothers and the Kuravas, Yudhishthira studied religion, science, administration and military arts by Acharya Drona, the Kuru princes' teacher and Master of Martial Arts. Because of his analytical and calculating traits and his righteous and religious views, he excelled in religion and administration. [[MinoredInAssKicking He is also a skilled combatant]]. His WeaponOfChoice are the spear and the chariot. After the Pandavas [[spoiler: lose their new home to the fire caused by the Kuravas]], they [[spoiler: temporarily hide themselves disguised as monks]]. When they hear about the swayamvar that's been going on in Panchala, Yudhishthira devises up a plan to win the princess' hand and by that they'd recover the throne back and become powerful enough to take on Duryodhana. They win the swayamvar and the princess' hand, and return back to Hastinapura. When the king sees them, he announces that he will divide the kingdom into two. Giving his son the ruling of hastinapura while Yudhishthir, the secluded land of Khandaprastha. When they arrive at Khandaprastha, they discover it's a desolate swamp that seems uninhabited by any soul. As they go further, they are greeted by an unwelcoming frightened citizens. The people apologies and ask their king's forgiveness explaining that they were just defending their home from the bandits. Yudhishthir vows to help them and fixes the problem. With Krishna's help, the pandavas transform the forest into the kingdom of Indraprastha, as new king, Princes and Queen of the CityOfGold. Where they all live happily.\\

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhima Bheema]] is the second born son of King Pandu and Kunti and the 2nd deuteragonist of the story. After the death of Pandu, the Pandavas went to live in Hastinapura where they were brought up together with their cousins, the Kauravas. Along with his brothers and the Kuravas, Bheema studied religion, science, administration and military arts by Acharya Drona, the Kuru princes' teacher and Master of Martial Arts. He is an expert in using his [[WeaponOfChoice signature weapon]], the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gada_(mace) Gada]] (a wooden mace/club that has a spherical head mounted on a shaft). Bheema's strong point throughout the franchise remains in his towering strength. He [[spoiler: defended his younger brother Arjuna when he was being bullied by Duryodhana in Acharya Drona's organised event. Almost killing Duryodhana on the spot had Arjuna not intervened to stop him]]. Bheema was also renowned for his giant appetite. At times, half of the food consumed by the Pandavas was eaten by him.\\

* {{Bishounen}}: Both twins are extremely beautiful and attractive and are regarded as the most popular out of all five brothers.

* BerserkButton: Never. EVER. Threaten his family. Or he will [[UnstoppableRage pummel the living lights out of the asshole who does it]] like an [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge unstoppable juggernaut]] and then dine later while the wolves eat their remnants.

* SimpleStaff: His WeaponOfChoice.

* TallDarkAndHandsome: If Arjuna fits this trope to the max, then Krishna [[UpToEleven ups it to eleven]].

* DemotedToExtra: Nakula and Sahadeva can come across like this. Arjuna has many, many side-stories, while Bheema and Yudhistira got leading roles and feature rather prominently in the story. Nakula and Sahadeva, said to be [[TakeOurWordForIt the best swordsmen]] and the best-looking amongst the Pandava brothers, hardly got any screen time.They both have one or two lines compared to their older brothers. Of course, it can also be attributed to the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters the prose must cover.

* TheBigBad: He is the main [[ClassicVillain villain]] of the movie and in the Mahabharata novels. And the one who foils all of our heroes success and efforts. He cheated the Pandavas out of their kingdom in a [[spoiler: rigged game of dice, and then sent them into exile for 13 years]].

* BaldOfAwesome: In this rendition, he is completely bald. Unlike other versions were he wears a long hair with a top bun. Though kind and humble, Drona is a tough and confident man with a high level sense of wisdom, intellect and character. It takes a man of confidence to display a shorn head. As hair is regarded as a sign of great beauty and pride in indian culture. So shaving it is a real sacrifice. To shave one's head means humility and clear-headedness.
** In Hindu customs, hair is seen as a matter of pride and arrogance. So shaving it is a step to get rid of arrogance and pride and becoming closer to god and humility with no negative thoughts.

* BadassMustache: He too changes after thirteen years. His hair and mustache grows longer giving him a very intimidating and dominating look of an EvilOverlord.

* BadassBeard: His white beard is an indicator of his vast age, years of experience and his prestigious aura.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: What Yudhishthira did was [[ThisIsUnforgivable inexcusable]]. [[spoiler: He preferred/was pressured to continue the game than to forfeit and lose his pride, screwing everyone involved. Realizing it was his [[MomentOfWeakness lowest moment]] were he had to gamble away his brothers as if they were commodities. It's obvious that he was [[MoralDilemma so tortured and ashamed]] while doing this]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Inverted. He, like pretty much everyone at court during the dice game, was crippled by the helplessness to act and do something to prevent matters from escalating from bad to worse.

* CoolOldGuy:
* GentleGiant:

* ForcedToWatch:
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Like Drona, Bhishma serves the Kuru family

* OnlySaneMan: Bhishma is the second to speak out his mind even when he is pretty much tied as he was with the kuru family. he is the voice of reason besides the king himself and acted on his moral guidance even when was crippled by the cultural dogma. Despite that, he'd spoke out his mind when he could defending the disenfranchised even when his voice was not popular or well perceived among the kuru sons.
