== Appearance and Personality ==
Adolin's hair is mostly blond with streaks of Alethi black running through it{{book ref|twok|15}} and it has been described as an unruly mop{{book ref|twok|28}}{{book ref|sa2|4}} and a stylish mess{{book ref|twok|58}}. Despite the blond hair color he and Renarin share, they are both Dalinar's legitimate sons.{{17s ref|post|66703}} It is, however, seen as a mark of their bloodline being impure. {{book ref|sa2|38}} Kaladin believes Adolin's mother may in fact be from [[Rira (country)|Rira]] because his hair is mostly golden blond.{{book ref|sa2|16}} Adolin prefers to remain clean shaven but he did grow a beard when he threw himself in jail in protest of Kaladin's imprisonment. His beard was also blond speckled with black.{{book ref|sa2|66}} His eyes are blue{{book ref|twok|15}} and have an [[Wikipedia:Epicanthic fold|epicanthic fold]]{{qa ref|979|86}}. He has been described as handsome on numerous occasions{{book ref|twok|15}}{{book ref|twok|46}}{{book ref|sa2|49}} and as he is Alethi it can be surmised that his skin is tan in color. However, because he is half Riran his skin tone is lighter than his father's.{{reddit ref|Stormlight_Archive|4shyds|d59u6fo|text=How about the Iriali and Alethi mix we have going on with Adolin and Renarin?|date=June 14, 2016}} There is some inconsistency as to Adolin's height, being described as both shorter{{book ref|twok|15}} and the same height{{book ref|sa2|4}} as Dalinar. Shardplate adds a few inches to his height but he is not as tall as Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|16}} He has a birthmark on the back of his left thigh. {{book ref|sa3|13}}
Adolin is incredibly loyal to his father despite not always seeing eye-to-eye with him and is certainly unafraid to voice his opinions{{book ref|twok|24}}. Despite his opposing views he remains steadfastly obedient, listening to his father and following the Codes{{book ref|twok|22}} even if he does not necessarily believe in them or wish to obey them. He shows an unwillingness to become the highprince when Dalinar considers stepping aside in favor of him, still intensely loyal to his father{{book ref|twok|52}}. His skepticism surrounding the Codes eventually changes and Adolin begins to understand their purpose. He grows to become a better leader because of this and at the same time he grows further away from the people he once considered to be friends{{book ref|twok|58}}.
