2.0001 Papa Smurf with traditional White Beard, Red Hat and Red Pants.

In the original French, his name is "Le Grand Schtroumpf" — "the Great Smurf" or "the Big Smurf" — which could also be interpreted as "Le Grand Père", French for grandfather, which would be in keeping with his elderly appearance and paternal way.

Papa Smurf is a gentle, wise, and knowledgeable village elder. He serves as the Smurfs' leader and as a paternal figure of which the Smurfs usually go to when they require counsel and he is always concerned about the Smurf's wellbeing and harmony. He is very altruistic and always ready to help somebody, whether he is a Smurf or human. Papa Smurf also has diplomatic skills in case they meet humans or other creatures, and usually manages to speak without using the "smurf" word.
