In terms of appearance, Dark Pit is nearly identical to that of [[Pit]], with the most obvious differences being his black clothing and hair, and dark-colored wings that may appear a deep teal depending on the lighting, but are officially described to be black<ref>[http://kidicarus.nintendo.com/uprising/explore-the-game/characters.html#dark-pit Official Kid Icarus: Uprising Website (NA): Characters - Dark Pit]</ref>. The color scheme is also similar to that of the black palette swap from ''Brawl'' with some minor changes such as red eyes, gold trim on some parts of the chiton, and gold accessories opposed to the silver. One of the few differences that is unrelated to color is the design on the hems of his tunic, as Dark Pit's has triangular patterns opposed to the vine-like ones on Pit's. As he is a clone of Pit, it can be assumed he also has the appearance of a 13-year old with a height of 160 cm (5'3").

[[File:DarkPit_Expressions.jpg|thumb|260px|Dark Pit's expressions from ''Uprising''.]]
Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious personality. He rarely smiles outside of the occasional smirk. Dark Pit attacks with more aggression and will sometimes use cheap hits in order to win, such as when he kicks the unsuspecting Pit after [[Pandora]] was defeated. Unlike Pit, Dark Pit hates the idea of being bounded down as a servant and would rather follow his own orders. This is noticeable when Dark Pit refused to follow Pandora's orders despite being created to obey her and later refused [[Medusa]]'s offer to help him take down Pit, likely thinking that she would take command of him in exchange. However, it does appear that he is willing to work for someone to get what he wants, shown when he joins the [[Forces of Nature]] to defeat Pit.

Dark Pit appears to be sensitive about his identity. In early parts of the game, he constantly fights Pit because he is supposedly "copying his act", and dislikes being called "Pittoo" by Pit and Palutena. Dark Pit does occasionally team up with Pit, ether unintentionally or to complete a similar goal. He is commonly described as being mysterious, likely due to the fact the reason behind his desire to prove superiority over Pit is largely unknown. Because Dark Pit came from the Mirror of Truth, it's implied that Dark Pit is actually a personification of Pit's negative inner feelings.

Dark Pit is later shown to have a dry sense of humor, or at least an ego to match Pit's, such as when the two yell out their "pre-boss-battle rallying cry". Similarly to his light counterpart, he seems to enjoy playing other Nintendo games, as he mentioned ''[[wikipedia:Brain Age|Brain Age]]'' at one point. Dark Pit also appears to have inherited Pit's strong will and soul, as [[Hades]] comments how he finds the dark angel's soul to be very desirable due to its power. However, unlike Pit, Dark Pit is quite sharp and bright, seeing things from a third party view due to his independence. This is shown when he accuses all the gods of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are powerful omnipotent figures.

Dark Pit also appears to have inherited Pit's strong will and soul, as [[Hades]] comments how he finds the dark angel's soul to be very desirable due to its power. However, unlike Pit, Dark Pit is quite sharp and bright, and is far less gullible and naive. He sees things from a third party view due to his independence. This is shown when he accuses all the gods of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are powerful omnipotent figures.


Despite his name and appearance, it is important to note that Dark Pit is not villainous by any means. He possesses the sense of what to deem right or wrong, and acts accordingly based on that sense. This can be seen when he finds out that Hades has been using human souls to craft his [[Underworld Army]], and agrees that the evil deity needs to be stopped. Despite his lack of affiliation with the goddess of light, Dark Pit does seem to care about Palutena, as he aids in rescuing her from the [[Chaos Kin]], and states that while eating souls is bad enough, going after the soul of a goddess is just vile. Also, despite everything he had done and what Pit had sacrificed for him, he's still somewhat closed off and perhaps uncomfortable with facing Pit after everything that had happened between them.

While Dark Pit still views Pit as his rival, he does seem to trust Pit to a degree, calling out for help from him when he ends up caught by the Chaos Kin.
