* HeelFaceTurn: He used to be a full fledged Jerkass who saw Babar and his plans as king as nothing but an obstacles towards his own reign of Rhinoland and would sabotoge him whenever he could. But he started to warm up to him as time went on, teaming up with Babar against an even bigger threat, such as the hunter or General Promiere, and even "The Gift", he outright rescues Babar from a quicksand trap because he can't stand the thought of him drowning, but then asks Babar to not tell anyone about the rescue because he's embarrassed about getting soft. He eventually signed a peace treaty with Babar agreeing not to do any more harm, and while still a bit of a Jerkass, he gets along much better with Babar and the other elephants when they're adults.
* HenpeckedHusband: RAtaxes won't admit it, but he knows his wife calls all the shots
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Moreso when Babar is an adult. He still lets his selfish tendencies get the better of him from time to time after signing the peace treaty with Celesteville, such as when he cheats at the Father-Son picnic games, or when he sets up an outrageous road toll for any elephant passing through Rhinoland, but he's quick to realize the error. In "Mango Madness" he comforts Flora as she apologizes to him for her BrutalHonesty.

[[folder:Babar]]
The good hearted king of Celesteville.
----
* AdultFear: Babar is a king and a father with a lot of responsibilities and his family has been in real danger at times.
* AgeLift: Somewhat inverted. In the original books, Babar returned to the jungle with Celeste and Arthur when they were young adults and old enough to be married. In the tv series, Babar and Celeste appear near their adolesence when they return while Arthur appears about nine or ten, so naturally they didn't get married immediately upon returning.
* BreakTheCutie: He was a playful and innocent little tyke in the twilight of his life, but the death of his mother made him a bit more formal and solemn.
* GoodParents: Is a very loving father to his children, offering them advice in any way he can, and only being firm when it is absolutely necessary.
* HeroicBSOD: Babar has one after his mother is shot by the hunter.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Babar is largely a [[TheGoodKing selfless and responsible king]]. He did have a few slipups when he was a child due to his young age and inexperience, but was always able to find a solution to them. He only uses more stern tactics when the situations demands it, such as being forced to arrest Arthur when evidence strongly suggests that he stole from Rataxes or putting his foot down on Arthur's disastrous inventions.
* https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakTheCutie
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Babar wasn't initially this way, but his education from Madame in Paris made him so much of a child prodigy that he was appointed the new king of the elephants. In fact, more often than not, his solutions to problems turn out to be more efficient and wise than those of Cornelius and Pompadour.

* BigEater: And how!
* HeroicBsod: [[NoFairCheating He is absolutely demoralized when his father constantly cheats at the Father Son races, losing all respect for him.]] It's up to Babar and Alexander to make things right.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It's clear his father's jerkish and arrogant tendencies rubbed off on him, but he's still good friends with Pom, Alexander and Flora, and is always willing to do the right thing in the end.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: He isn't always the best influence on the triplets. In "My dinner With Rataxes" he encourages them to go exploring with him in a dark tunnel they discovered behind Rataxes trophy case, only to find that it's a complete labyrinth and they're completely lost in it. Or in "Witch's Potion" when he encourages Pom and Alexander to go cross the gorge to find out if the old lady Mildred is really witch, even though they are not allowed to do so since it's dangerous. This backfires when Flora follows them to try and stop them, only to get bitten by an incredibly poisonous snake.
