WPF usercontrol combine ellipse and arrow - wpf

Question

I want to create a custom usercontrol to represent a player in a 2D map.
I had an ellipse to represent the player but I want to have on the border of the ellipse an arrow to indicate where the player is looking.
This is what I tried :
<Ellipse Width="17" Height="17" Stroke="Black" Fill="White" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<Path Data="M5,0 0,5 5,10" Fill="White" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<Path.LayoutTransform>
<RotateTransform Angle="10"/>
</Path.LayoutTransform>
</Path>
the result :
That looks like what I want (it's not properly aligned but that's not the point here).
The problems are :
I know the position of the ellipse's center without the arrow
When the arrow will be on the right the relative position of the ellipse's center will be different --> I could solve this problem using a square control
My Circle has a textblock on top (Horitonzal + vertical center) to
display its id
How to move the arrow depending on the position looked ? I thought the easier might be to calculate an angle and rotate the whole control.
My first idea was to draw using any vector drawing software (illustrator for instance) the path, and get the coordinates of the path, and paste them in WPF.
then just rotate the usercontrol.
But doing this will also rotate the text and I don't want the text to rotate.
I'm stuck on this one, I hope my problem is enough described to be understood.
EDIT My first try :
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ContentControl">
<Grid Width="34" Height="34">
<Path x:Name="contour_forme"
Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
StrokeThickness="1"
Stretch="Uniform"
Width="28"
Height="22"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}"

<Path.LayoutTransform>
<RotateTransform Angle="0" />
</Path.LayoutTransform>
</Path>
<TextBlock Style="{DynamicResource StyleTextes}" Foreground="White" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Text="5"
/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
With the result :
As you can see I didn't manage to center the text inside my 22px circle.
My arrow is about 6 px height so I've created a control of 22 (circle's size expected) + 2 * 6px depending on the arrow position.
But when I try to rotate my path doing :
<Path.LayoutTransform> <RotateTransform Angle="90" />
</Path.LayoutTransform>
I have the following result :
I'm not sure on how I can keep the circle of my path in the center of the control when I rotate the path.

Answer 1

Just apply the RotateTransform to the "image" but not to the text.
Also I would use a render transform instead of a layout transform.
