The trope of overlooking the hero based on appearances goes back as long as stories have been told. In the Bible, King David, the youngest and least impressive of his 7 brothers, was relegated to the fields to look after goats and sheep. Samuel thought David’s brother was the impressive one and should be king.  But God said: “Don’t judge by his appearance or height. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
