Anime/TV/Movie character gender: Male
Describe their personality:At the beginning of the series, Tsuna is known in school as "Loser Tsuna" for his poor grades, wimpy attitude, bad luck, and lack of athleticism, a fact which Tsuna freely admits. As he develops, frequently forced into situations he'd usually avoid, he gains more confidence and more freely acts on his dedication to protect those he cares for.
Tsuna becomes willing to jump into dangerous situations, willing to die if that means he can protect everyone.
He carries a great resolve to protect his companions and family. Those that know he's Vongola X always put him into the leader position, trusting him completely. This makes him slowly gain confidence in his decisions, becoming an excellent leader, and learns to make decisions entirely on his own.
Tsuna is an extremely kind and thoughtful individual, whom easily becomes overly worried, fearing the worst.
Always he's been very sincere and forgiving, very willing to make peace with his enemies than fight. Even if he's said he'd never forgive someone, Tsuna often ends up sympathising with them and forgiving them, almost instantly regarding them as allies.
In Hyper Deathperation mode, his suppressed traits are brought to the surface, and Tsuna becomes very coolly collected, confident, and willing to accept any challenge that comes his way. Becomes an even better leader than usual. His intuition shines in this mode. He retains his kindness, but doesn't instantly act on his emotions and make the situation worse, like he often would out of HD mode instead thinking with his head; this saves them a lot. Tsuna's willing to injure opponents that harm those he loves in this mode. He loses his more innocent outlook and easygoingness, becoming very serious.
More openly concerned for those he loves, unable to fight if it'd put their lives in danger.
(exactly 300 words)Why do you want them as a pseudo?:It took me a long time to decide which character I'd choose. I just have so many favourites.
I was reluctant to use Tsuna at first as he's only recently become a favourite, and that made me feel bad for older favourites of mine. What really decided it for me in the end was that I feel like his design would work well as a pseudodragon, and his hair is in almost exactly the same shape as a pseudodragon's feathers, which I found amusing.
I've only recently started watching Reborn!, as I never liked the first few episodes, and decided to put it off for years. Finally a friend convinced me to give it another go, and I must say, it's become one of my favourite anime.
The character development in this show (and manga) is very well thought out, and excellently well done, and I've all round enjoyed the plot development. One of the big things is that I love how Tsuna isn't anything like a typical shonen main character, it makes him a lot more relatable, and feels more like a normal person rather than a gary stu or something along those lines. He has many flaws, although those flaws are gradually worked on so that he's a better person later on in the series.
Tsuna as a character in general really fascinates me, with the way he adorably overreacts to many situations, is terrified of a baby (granted the baby is a hitman), hates to train but still does it earnestly and even going off training by himself if he needs to get stronger to protect his friends, fails considerably all the time, has to look after a toddler half the time, yet never gets angry at two of the most annoying characters I've ever seen which I find really commendable, doesn't have a short temper which is generally a trait seen in most shonen main characters, and yet is very reliable when he needs to lead with or without HD mode, and how he would never bend his inner morals regardless of the rules, and how he just as time goes on, he develops into such a well balanced, sweet, likeable character. It also intrigues me that Tsuna is never interested in beating the 'big bad' or whatever other enemies are around, so long as they leave his friends and family alone, which I find to be far more understandable than rushing off to beat everything. I'm probably not making a lot of sense, but I hope it's enough.
Tsuna is just one of those characters that for some reason has made a lasting impact on my life, which very few characters at all in general do, and so I'd love to have a pseudodragon, my favourite adopt on CS, that is based off him in some way.
