Arslan was especially petite and feminine-looking at age eleven, but his body shape and height went on to flourish into that of well enough caliber at age fourteen.
In all the adaptations of The Heroic Legend of Arslan, this character is depicted as an effeminate boy with long hair and blue eyes, whereas only the depiction of his hair color is changed frequently. Arslan's basic appearance is the same throughout the different adaptations: that of a fragile and weak boy, due to which people usually consider him a weakling.
