He is a frightfully unparalleled blabbermouth, prone to speaking on and on until those involved lose all rationality. He greatly enjoys physical form rather than the usual practice of being kept in spirit form except for battle, and obtaining permission to do so is enough to cause him to dance for joy. He purposefully dresses 'as a girl' because he likes cute things.Īstolfo is known in his legend for being eternally optimistic and completely lacking in sense, and he can be called 'curiosity in human form.'

As a cousin of Roland, Astolfo is included among those twelve-that being said, Astolfo was famed as 'weak' in legends.Īstolfo has created many legends as he was an adventurer who flew to all over the world and even reached the Moon in the end. As the legends go, Astolfo was quite the ladies' man.
