JIRAIYA'S APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY

    JIRAYIA'S APPEARANCE-
    Jiraiya was a tall man with extremely long and
    spiky white hair tied back into a pony tail, with
    two shoulder-length bangs that framed both
    sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran
    down from his eyes and wore a horned
    forehead protector with the kanji for 'Oil' (油, abura), which denotes his affiliation with Mount
    Myōboku. Jiraiya wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he
    wore mesh armour that showed out of the
    sleeves and legs of his outfit. His outfit was
    completed with hand guards, a simple black belt,
    traditional Japanese geta (wooden sandals), a red cloak with two simple yellow circles, and a toad
    summoning scroll on his back. He also had what
    appeared to be a tattoo in his left palm which resembles one that Gama has in his as well.

    Jiraiya was also seen sporting different attires. As
    a child, he wore pale grey robes with a design of
    red flames on the edges, with a green ribbon
    showing a curled gold design tied in a loose bow
    around his waist. In childhood, the length of the
    red lines that ran down his eyes extended to just over half his face, but became longer in time.
    Underneath it, he wore the standard black mesh
    shirt with red lining, and wore puffy black pants
    that are tighter around the ankles as well as black
    sandals to go with the outfit. During the Second
    Great Shinobi War against Hanzō, he wore grey garb with metal armour. He was also shown
    wearing what appeared to be a rubber frog suit
    during a flash back to when he was training the Ame Orphans.

    JIRAIYA'S PERSONALITY-
    Despite the fact that he left Konoha for many
    years, Jiraiya had maintained an allegiance with
    his hometown. During Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha, he helped fend off the invading forces in
    order to protect the village. When Konoha found
    itself in need of a new Hokage after the Third
    Hokage's death, Jiraiya volunteered to look for
    Tsunade so that she could become the Third's
    successor, after turning down the position himself. His reason for refusing the position was,
    among other things, that he felt unworthy to
    take the role, since he had failed to save either of
    the previous Hokage from dying, as well as him
    having to conduct more "research". After he
    found Tsunade, and began to suspect that she might be assisting Orochimaru, he made it clear
    that he would kill her if she betrayed the village.
    However, once it became clear that Tsunade was
    still loyal to Konoha, and later accepted the title of
    Hokage, Jiraiya served as her most trusted
    adviser, loyal confidante, and personal spy into the dealings of Akatsuki and Konoha's enemies.

    Jiraiya was a self-proclaimed super-pervert with
    no equal, and a frequent voyeur, going so far as
    to create the Transparent Escape Technique, to allow him to spy on naked women without
    being caught (doing "research" as he called it,
    even as a child). He never actually hid his
    perversion, and even seemed proud of it, as seen
    when he told the Third Hokage about it when he
    was still a child. Despite this, Jiraiya disliked being referred to as the Perverted Hermit (エロ仙人, Ero- sennin; English TV "Pervy Sage") by Naruto in
    front of others.

    Jiraiya's perversion had been used against him
    on occasions, as seen when Naruto got Jiraiya to
    start training him after a simple display of the Sexy Technique (though Naruto hit a roadblock when Jiraiya wanted him to use the technique
    around him when training). When two Akatsuki
    members later tried to distract Jiraiya, they used a
    hypnotised woman to catch his eye and keep
    him busy. While their effort initially succeeded,
    Jiraiya eventually saw through their plot, due solely to the fact that women did not typically
    express interest in him. His peeping habits had
    also caused him great injury on one occasion;
    when caught spying on Tsunade in his younger
    years, she proceeded to break both of his arms,
    six of his ribs, and ruptured a number of organs as punishment. As a result of such injuries, Jiraiya
    now retained a rather healthy fear towards his
    former team-mate, and usually attempted to
    suppress his perverted ways when in Tsunade's
    presence.

    Some time after leaving Konoha, Jiraiya became
    the author of a series of adult novels called Icha Icha. The novels were based on his rejections in love, that he retold in a comical way. In a filler
    episode of the anime, Naruto ghost-wrote one of
    Jiraiya's Icha Icha novels. The book was found to
    be very popular. This indicates that either Naruto
    is capable of writing on the same level as Jiraiya,
    or that Jiraiya's writing abilities were no better than those of a child. Tsunade seemed to suspect
    that the latter was true, as she noted that a report
    he wrote as a child, accompanied by crude
    crayon illustrations, was poorly written. The
    popularity of the Icha Icha series seemed to have
    paid off well, as Jiraiya's cheque book revealed that he was fairly wealthy. Despite his wealth,
    Jiraiya was not above taking Naruto's money
    and spending it on sake and women. Jiraiya
    frequently disappeared when Naruto attempted
    to make him pay.

    Jiraiya had also been known to show off, even
    during a fight. This showing off typically took the
    form of traditional kabuki poses, keeping with his hermit theme. He became annoyed if he was
    interrupted for whatever reason while trying to
    strike a pose which most often that not, was
    always interrupted. His summon Gama however was the only toad he ever summoned that posed
    along with him. When the situation called for it,
    however, Jiraiya would become extremely
    serious. He could also be quite perceptive, as seen
    when he watched Naruto try to walk over the
    surface of shallow water; Jiraiya quickly discerned that there was something within
    Naruto that was disrupting the chakra's
    circulation through his body.

    Despite Jiraiya's flamboyant behaviour and
    prowess as a shinobi, he was a strong believer in
    peace; his hope being to one day end the hatred
    that plagued the ninja world. Jiraiya also held a
    great deal of faith in the next generation, and
    saw them as the answer to this hate.Source URL: https://funcartoongallery.blogspot.com/2011/06/jiraiya-appearance-and-personality.html
