Background/Personality

Arnold in detail, usually has a dislike on field trips. Near of the time, he is usually an unwilling participant. Despite his unremarkably timid moments and some nervous breakdowns, he has shown to accept a brave personality when he's needed to, and he's very loyal when it comes to his classmates, even taking up a leadership role a number of times. He has a huge interest in rocks and minerals, and is the youngest member of GRANITE (the Kreat Rock Admirers' National Institute of Tectonics Experts), an organization for amateur geologists. He also mentions an interest in colors. He has shown interest in conserving the surround, as he wanted to relieve the rotting log in "Meets the Rot Squad" and have the class collect stuff for recycling in part i of the Holiday Special.

Despite his paranoia for field trips, he does honey having the Frizzles as teachers, and deep down, enjoys the adventures, but is besides nervous to show it and he doesn't usually like surprises. He even stood in her defence force when the grade went on trial during the original series episode "In a Pickle" and when his cousin, Janet, tried to show off and say that her teacher is improve than his, Arnold interrupted her earlier she could terminate and said, "Nobody is better than Ms. [Professor] Frizzle" during "Gets Lost in Infinite".

In the original serial, Arnold'southward appearance is similar to his book counterparta. Arnold is a bespectacled boy who wore a xanthous-and-white striped polo. He wore blue jeans and bluish sneakers for leg- and footwear. but in this canon, he has curly ruby-red hair instead of curly blond hair. The light-blue circular-framed eyeglasses, the xanthous and white striped long-sleeved polo shirt, bluish jeans and navy and white sneakers are the aforementioned as in the books. In the Rides Once again series, his hair was cutting into a basin. He wears rectangular glasses instead of circular-framed spectacles, and he wears a green sweater over his trademark striped shirt.
