Mowgli Characteristics

Mowgli has the typical child-like traits. He is playful, carefree, free-spirited, friendly and well meaning. In addition to that he is highly optimistic and laid-backed.

On the more negative side, however, his optimism can result in naïveté. As evidenced with how quickly he warmed up to King Louie and considered bargaining with him and also with how careless he was when he was hypnotized and nearly devoured by Kaa. On top of that, he is generally short-tempered and can get violent is he is bothered by someone.

However, he is also very brave and noble. Mowgli stands his ground when threatened and does whatever he can to ensure his safety and those whom he cares
