Zoro is the loyal swordsman of the Strawhat pirates, 17 at the start of the anime. He has short, spiky green hair. His height is5'10" (178 cm) pre-timeskip; 5'11½" (181 cm) post-timeskip. He has a diagonal scar across his chest from his duel with Dracule Mihawk. Ankle scars from attempting to free himself from a trap in Little Garden. He wears three golden earrings on his left ear and a black bandana tied around his arm, which he wears on his head during serious battles . He usually has a stoic and serious face. Zoro maintains a calm, composed demeanor, rarely showing emotions except anger or determination. He prioritizes training and sleep over frivolous activities. His loyalty is one of his main traits. Fiercely devoted to Luffy and the Straw Hats. He once offered his life to Kuma to save Luffy’s, enduring unimaginable pain. He follows a samurai-like code, refusing to attack opponents from behind unless protecting allies. He views scars on the back as a swordsman’s shame. His recklessness is also something characteristic of him. Often sacrificing himself for the crew, such as nearly dying to absorb Luffy’s injuries in Thriller Bark. He has a famous poor Sense of Direction. A running gag where he gets lost even on straight paths. He delivers deadpan, "cool" one-liners that impress crewmates like Usopp and Chopper. Zoro respects Luffy as captain and trusts his decisions, though he challenges him when necessary.
