(French: Astérix) is the titular character and protagonist of the Asterix comic book series. He is the invincible warrior of the 'Little Gaulish Village' and friend of Obelix

Personality and Appearance

Born in 85 BC, Asterix is a tiny but fearless and cunning warrior, ever eager for new adventures. He lives in the year 50 BC in a Gaulish village located in northwest Armorica. Asterix is one of the smartest and most sensible members of the village, and so he is usually chosen for any dangerous, important or exotic mission. Unlike most of the other villagers, he does not start or join brawls for the fun of it, although he does enjoy a good fight when there's cause. He rarely resorts to weapons, preferring to rely on his wits, and when necessary, his (magic potion enhanced) fists — though he carries his sword with him wherever he goes, he is shown to be only an average swordsman. What he does for a living is never truly known, though he is often shown running errands or out shopping and hunting.

Relationships with Women as.png

Although no romantic interest has been introduced for Asterix , it seems obvious that Asterix is more susceptible to the charms of women than his best friend, Obelix. He seems 'lovestruck' after receiving a kiss from Panacea. He also seems similarly affected by a kiss from Latraviata then it seems that Latraviata's effect on Asterix may have gone deeper, as he reflects on her (or maybe something else) during the journey back to their village. Again, while many may agree that both Asterix and Obelix share the same feelings for the same woman, Panacea (judging from the way Asterix often looks at her, trusts her, obeys her, and even goes as far as to kiss her in a hypnotic trance which may be symbolic for love-sickness itself) it may simply be an act of instinct rising out of loneliness, as both Asterix and Obelix do not get close to women.

*Friendship with Obelix * o.jpg

Asterix is having a strong bond with his best friend, Obelix.The name "Asterix" came from the asterisk symbol (*). Obelix's name came from the obelisk (dagger) symbol. This was meant to be both symbolic, and a pun, as an asterisk and obelisk are almost never seen without each other, just like the two friends. Asterix and Oblix were once the chiefs shield bearers.
