Took a Level in Kindness: Taran starts off as a haughty, immature, and foolhardy boy who thinks he knows what he's doing.His Character Development mostly revolves around realizing just how fake that image he has of himself is. Small Name, Big Ego: Taran, at the beginning of the movie, is certain he's destined to be a great warrior, and after he gets his hands on a magic sword really starts thinking of himself as a bigshot hero.Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: He has red hair, green eyes, and is the hero of the story.Eilonwy is appalled by this, though Taran reasons that they need a weapon more than the deceased king does.

Politically Incorrect Hero: Taran disregards Eilonwy's earlier help and advice simply because she's a girl and said so to her face, which upsets her.Nice Guy: Near the end, after he matures, he acknowledges his failure as a warrior and does a selfless act when he chooses to attempts to jump into the Black Cauldron.Thanks to Character Development he matures into a Nice Guy.

Failure Knight: Taran so wants to be a Knight In Shining Armour, but at almost no point in the film does he successfully do anything useful with his own skills: He loses Hen Wen almost immediately after being entrusted with her when held captive by the Horned King he only escapes with the help of Eilonwy and the magic sword and he unwittingly brings the Black Cauldron into the Horned King's hands by getting it from the witches with whom it probably would've been completely secure (as well as giving away the potentially story-breaking magic sword in the process).Taran goes from an impulsive kid fantasizing that one day he will be a hero, to a more mature, compromising young man who realizes he is unfit to be what he considers a hero. Character Development: Obviously, nowhere near as well-designed or thorough as the books, but it's pretty evident here.He then manages to lose track of Hen Wen by slipping into a daydream at the pool he stops by, letting her wander off without even noticing.Taran: See, hen?
