Personality

Dhalsim has spent years dispelling himself and as such is reserved and stoic for most of the series. He prefers pacifism and greatly resented needing to resort to violence. The only things that can move Dhalsim to violence are the lives of other being put at stake through his in-action. Dhalsim has a wife called Sally and a son called Data that he loves very much. Dhalsim always felt responsible for his village and since he won them stability became something of a regional Paragon.

As an extremely altruistic man, Dhalsim fights mostly for the poor and oppressed, as he constantly tried his best to making money for his poverty-stricken people. Dhalsim is aware that if he uses his power to damage, he may become evil, and frequently questions his decisions to use his powers for fighting. Furthermore, all forms of yoga are meant to aid a personal journey towards enlightenment and never harming others. Thus he is constantly concerned about his fighting style overwhelming his own principles of non-violence.
