Character Name: Tristan Taylor Series: Yu-Gi-Oh! Timeline: Episode 200 Canon Resource Links: Yugioh Wiki
Personality:
In general, Tristan is an easygoing guy that takes things in stride as they happen, a loyal companion, and a devoted friend. This dedication spans the length of the series. In season one, he travels to an island called Duelist Kingdom to support Yugi as he tries to recover his kidnapped grandpa, and Joey as he tries to earn the prize money in order to pay for his sister's eye surgery. While there he even tries to free Bakura from the effects of the Millennium Ring by chucking the artifact into the wilderness. During the Waking the Dragons arc, he travels with Yugi and the others to America in order to stop an Ancient Atlantean king from awakening a great beast intent on destroying the world. Even as late as the final season, Tristan is always there, along for the ride and offering his brand of aide. Those instances alone speak volumes about his character and what he's willing to do in the name of friendship. This is a guy that will literally travel to other continents without hesitation to help a pal out. He has a strong moral compass so he hates seeing others getting a raw deal, being bullied, or exploited and he will often step in if he thinks he's in a position to defuse the situation. Although Tristan is not lacking in courage or compassion he might be a little negligent in self-preservation. Sometimes it seems either like he thinks he's impervious to injury or he's just compelled by a sense of justice, or raw emotions. He's highly protective of others, without really asking for much in return.
He wasn't always so altruistic. Originally, when Tristan was just trying to find a niche for himself at Domino High he was actually more of a jerk and a bully himself. Tearing down others was just one way to elevate himself. It wasn't until he witnessed the selfless act of a much punier classmate that finally got him to turn his act around. That being said there are a few aspects that he never really quite shook from his past. He vents a lot of his day to day frustrations through levity, which ranges from word puns to straight up sarcasm. That's not to say that he never loses his cool, because he totally can and does, either giving in to panic or rage depending on the circumstances. If he deems it warranted, he's not above resorting to physical violence to get his point across either... he's just.. more selective with who he punches in the face now. Tristan can also have moments of hardheaded stubborness where it's difficult to convince him that he's in the wrong. This usually comes out in the form of bickering between himself and his bff Joey Wheeler. To outsiders their arguments likely look more serious than they in fact are. It's just always been a part of how the two communicate.
Even with everything he's experienced and been through, Tristan is still your typical teenage male. He's prone to being immature and cutting up with the gang, chowing down on too much food, and the like. He has a healthy sense of humor and isn't above playing the ocassional practical joke here or there. Roughhousing with his friends is never off the table. It should be noted that he is almost completely hopeless when it comes to flirtation or dating, not that he wouldn't want to become more proficient in both. When he's crushing on someone hard, he will act like a total doofus around them as he tries to win their affections. Unfortunately, Tristan finds it difficult to put his feelings into words so it can be hard for people to decipher that he likes them in that way. The canon also affords some insight into how he reacts with a romantic rival, and generally speaking it's a mixed bag. There's the usual sort of back and forth banter that you might expect, some flared tempers, but ultimately he can place aside his jealously if the situation around them becomes dire. Tristan isn't foolish enough to risk someone else's life in order to come out on top, not even in romance. Where he lacks book smarts, and card game strategizing, he excels in street smarts and a general sense of practicality.
Tristan is a flawed individual that's come a long way from where he started in the canon. His strengths lie in his determination to see something through to the end, his unwavering devotion to those he cares about, and his willingness to hears someone out, sometimes after the initial transgression, but.. he's not perfect. If you're looking for a true blue companion, that only has your best interests at heart then look no further. As long as you can accept the flaws right along with it. His weaknesses lie in still having a tendency to consider violence too quickly, a general lack of tact, and his inability to clearly express his emotions.
