Vanity Smurf (LD Stories)

Vanity Smurf is a character from the original comics and cartoon show. His Wiki page is located here. He is also a character within The Reluctant Dark Knight series and the Expanded Animated Universe.

Background Information
He is incredibly narcissistic, always worrying about or taking pride in his physical appearance. His shallow self-interest often gets him into trouble by his fellow Smurfs because he hardly sees past his handheld mirror enough to be of any help. He has no general role in the village, but will help if he is truly needed, although sometimes he is told to stay out of the way.

Despite his short-sightedness, he is a nice individual and cares about the other Smurfs. He may be overly worried about frivolities (finding a new wrinkle, wearing a new hat, oily or dry skin, etc.), but when it is absolutely necessary, he proves to have the willpower to put the mirror down and assist others.

Relations
Much like the others, he is annoyed by Brainy, but they both share a problem when dealing with Hefty: being thrown out of the village. He also tends to be frustrated with Painter whenever he is given a self-portrait because he claims Painter cannot capture his true beauty, leading to some strain in their friendship.

His best friend, without a doubt, is Smurfette, who he did not ever develop strong feelings over. They share a love of fashion, flowers, beauty techniques, and gossiping about the other Smurfs. Occasionally they will argue over who is the better-looking Smurf, but in time, they end up agreeing to disagree or consider each other equally beautiful.

He usually turns to her whenever he is upset and finds comfort in disclosing to her above the others because he knows that she understands him; likewise, he understands her better than most other male Smurfs.

Trivia

 * The flower in his hat changes colors with each media import: white in the comics, pink in the cartoon show, and yellow in the 2011 & 2013 movies. He sports a poinsettia in The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol to add to the holiday jive.
 * Vanity has been noted to be the "most beautiful thing around" by a few female characters, despite looking like the other Smurfs. TV Tropes describes this as the Informed Attractiveness trope.
 * The "Hundredth Smurf" was created and introduced to the village when he created a full-sized mirror with unbreakable silver, which was struck by lightning. This clone is almost never seen in mainstream media after the initial episode.
 * His sexual orientation has always been a controversy, given his effeminate nature and lacking romantic interest in Smurfette. In Numbuh 404's accounts, he is autosexual.
