Appearance

Light is just a young man, despite having a mature texture to him, he is above average height with light brown hair and brown eyes. He tends to dress very neatly and formally, often seen wearing his school uniform or a suit, (kind of lame if you ask me). He has good looks compared to the other protagonists and antagonists in Death Note.

Character/Personality

Light is characterized as hardworking, talented, and a natural genius. Light would constantly predict all of the possible scenarios that could happen and plan a solution in advance. His downsides include his ominous outlook on life, overconfidence in himself, and belief that he is never wrong.

He gets angered by the lack of justice in the world. Believing the world to be “rotten” then uses his Death Note to rid the world of evil people and to satisfy his desire to seek justice which he believes to be lacking in the world. Light’s main goal is to create a new world that is free of injustice and populated only with honest and kind people, thus becoming the “God of the new world” but secretly turning him into a serial killer in the process. Light is nothing but decisive and driven to achieve his ambitions, without faltering one bit in his beliefs.

Whilst indulging in on the use of the Death Note, Light began to grow cold and ruthless resulting in the corruption of his main goals of only killing those who had committed unforgiving crimes, the government started suspecting something was going on which caused Light to kill those who were not those that needed justifying. He becomes completely devoid of love, compassion, and mercy. He views himself as the only rightful savior of mankind and that all his actions are justified, no matter how inhuman they might be. He is shown to even be willing to sacrifice his own family if pushed to that point, (which is absolutely benign). The fact that he is intelligent also adds to his notion that only he is fit to judge humanity and steer it on a proper course of action.

I can go on and on about the storyline and plot but I will leave it up to you to read or watch Death Note and see if this was an accurate description of the character Light Yagami.
