In earlier games, Pit appeared as a very young-looking, cherubic angel wearing a simple white chiton with a pair of sandals, and metal cuffs. He had short brown hair, and small white wings that are incapable of flight. In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' and beyond, he dons a gold laurel crown. Since his reappearance in ''Brawl'', he was given a major redesign by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. Pit now looks to be a boy in his early teens, about 13 years of age<ref>[http://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/ 4Gamer: プロジェクトソラの桜井政博氏が，新しいパルテナを解説！ニンテンドー3DSタイトル「新・光神話 パルテナの鏡」プレゼンテーションレポート] (Japanese)</ref>, with a height around 160 cm (5'3") tall<ref>[http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/File:KIUCharacterHeightChart.png Icaruspedia: Kid Icarus: Uprising Character Height Chart]</ref>. Sakurai used [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]] from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']] series as a guide for Pit's current look including the approval of Pit's [[Toru Osawa|creator]]<ref>[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/15390/sakurai-speaks-on-brawl-character-development Nintendo World Report: Sakurai Speaks on Brawl Character Development]</ref>. The modern design has blue eyes and many tufts in Pit's hair including a single unruly cowlick. His chiton remains white, now decorated with red and gold hems with vine-like patterns. It is fastened on the shoulder by a single gold [[wikipedia:fibula (brooch)|fibula]] with a red stone or glass embedded in it, along with a loose scarf. He wears the outfit with a brown belt and a gold triangular buckle. Pit also appears to wear a skin-tight navy undershirt and shorts beneath. The angel has a pair of brown and gold metal bracers on his wrists, a gold bracelet on his upper left arm, and another gold ring on his right thigh. Pit's sandals are brown, decorated with crossing beige bands and fuzzy white trims.  

 

Due to his young age, Pit is childish, gullible and naive. He is unfortunately not the brightest either (but he can still have his moments). Pit openly claims he never learned how to read (but this could just be a joke the writers added for humor), and has trouble understanding complex vocabulary used by Palutena. Some characters even sarcastically insult his intelligence, and his inability to detect sarcasm makes things easier for others. Ironically, Pit can sometimes make sarcastic statements himself. Pit is also sometimes oversensitive, especially when someone brings up the topic regarding his inability to fly, or when someone insults his goddess. He can even come off slightly narcissistic at times, believing he is an attractive-looking person. However, he can become insecure when being compared to someone else with better looks. According to Palutena, Pit embarrasses easily, and Pit himself admits he gets stage fright. Despite his position as captain of an army, he seems to strongly prefer working alone (with the exception of Palutena), as Pit shows reluctance whenever someone offers help, and the angel states that he doesn't need his or her assistance. Regardless of Pit's quirky and sometimes immature behavior, Palutena and the centurions view him as a respectable servant and captain.
