Why Trowa?

Trowa is a quiet, though determined person. Patient and calm, he will analyze a situation before

acting. He tends to prefer to be low-key, although some speculate he does have an unconscious

desire to be noticed due to the fact that of all the names he could have chosen for himself, he

chose that of an extremely wealthy and high-profile (though deceased) man; it would be difficult

to blend in with a name like that. Trowa is often portrayed as an observer who carefully

calculates the moves of others before deciding his own course of action. Blessed with charming

skill in decieving people, Trowa is able to have women in his early career. When on the

battlefield, Trowa attacks his enemies with utter ruthlessness and deadly accuracy. He tends to

hide his feelings well behind an impassive mask. Despite his emotionlessness, Trowa had

developed a friendship with a young lady hes so in love with. Symbolically, Trowa is often

affiliated with masks not only because of his neutrality and his talent for infiltrating enemy

ranks, but also because of his side-job as a circus clown --a job where his dress is a costume and

painted halfmask. Trowa is also shown to have a strong connection with animals as when he first

joined the circus. He seems passive about misfortune, seeming to have the attitude of "what will

be, will be." Due to his long history of different experience, he is the most mature of all the pilots.
