Canute

Canute (クヌート, Kunūto) is a 17-year-old prince of the Danes.

Appearance
Canute has rather girlish features the first time we meet him. He has long, blondish hair, and still no stubble; even though he is already 17. He has large blue eyes that narrow down when he gets angry or annoyed. Also in the beginning, his mouth is quite large, poutish and pink. He's still very frail, and small. Relying on Ragnar, his more manly servant/guardian. Near the end of the series, (after Ragnar's death) he builds muscle, grows a beard, and cuts his hair short (it's also wavy now). His eyes are now balanced out by the rest of his features and looks a lot more the part of a Viking.

Personality
Although we first know him as timid, weak and always hiding behind Ragnar, Canute begins to stick up for himself as Thorfinn constantly puts him down. Wanting revenge on his father for being secretly marked for death, Canute develops a more commanding, and demanding personality. This was brought out by Askeladd's assassination of Ragnar, whom he wanted to eliminate as he was standing in the way of Canute's emotional maturity.
