==Arthur's appearance==
==Physical appearance==
Arthur is an eight-year-old aardvark and star of the self-titled TV series and books. His trademarks include his bright yellow sweater, baggy blue jeans, big round glasses, and red-and-white sneakers that he wears in most appearances. According to creator Marc Brown, he is supposed to be a representation of the average [[Christian]] American third-grader and is based on the author's own experiences growing up in [[Erie, Pennsylvania]] as a child.


Arthur is an anthropomorphic aardvark, who is 8 years old.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pbskids.org/arthur/parentsteachers/program/prog_summary.html|title=PBS Kids web site|access-date=16 November 2008|archive-date=27 August 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070827152937/http://pbskids.org/arthur/parentsteachers/program/prog_summary.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> In Brown's first ''Arthur'' book, ''[[Arthur's Nose]]'' (1976), Arthur is shown with a long nose and resembles an actual aardvark, though as the books progressed (as seen in the first season of PBS's ''[[Reading Rainbow]]'' in its 13th episode, titled "Arthur's Eyes") and eventually became an animated TV series, Arthur’s appearance changed. The character's most recognizable form is a light brown, slanted face with small ears and nostrils with signature round brown-rimmed eyeglasses.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thepacepress.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/arthur.jpg |title=Archived copy |access-date=3 August 2016 |archive-date=17 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160917044347/http://www.thepacepress.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/arthur.jpg |url-status=dead }}</ref> Normally, Arthur wears a yellow V-neck sweater over a white dress shirt, blue jeans along with red and white sneakers. He also occasionally wears a red rugby-style sweater. In the series finale ("All Grown Up"), Arthur's 29-year-old appearance features him with straight dark brown hair, slight facial hair, a green vest with a hood, and a red and yellow shirt with a Dark Bunny insignia.
In the first Arthur book "Arthur's Nose", Arthur had a long nose and he resembled an actual aardvark. However, his design evolved over the first half dozen books, and he now has a much shorter nose.

A recurring theme in the ''Arthur'' series are the tensions between Arthur and his younger sister. Arthur is constantly pestered by his four-year-old sister [[D.W. Read]], and even though she celebrated her fifth birthday during the TV series' third season, Arthur still referred her as a "four-year-old" in the episode "Return of the Snowball", which aired in the seventh season. D.W. usually tries to get Arthur into trouble, although there are times when Arthur can also be mean to D.W. or retaliate. Despite that, Arthur tries to ignore D.W.'s annoying antics most of the time, and often does her favors - sometimes on his parents' behest - against his will.

The character's most recognizable form is a light brown, slanted face with small ears and nostrils with signature round brown-rimmed eyeglasses.[6] Normally, Arthur wears a yellow V-neck sweater over a white dress shirt, blue jeans along with red and white sneakers. He also occasionally wears a red rugby-style sweater. In the series finale ("All Grown Up"), Arthur's 29-year-old appearance features him with straight dark brown hair, slight facial hair, a green vest with a hood, and a red and yellow shirt with a Dark Bunny insignia.

Arthur's relationships[edit]

Family[edit]

The tensions between Arthur and his 4-year-old (later 5-year-old) sister, Dora Winifred "D.W." Read, are a common theme in the Arthur series. Arthur is constantly pestered by D.W., who goes out of her way to get Arthur into trouble, which often causes Arthur to retaliate, by getting into quarrels with his friends.
