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]].

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. | ||

He believes in protecting [[ | Pit is generally a goodhearted and heroic character, possessing a strong sense of justice. He believes in protecting [[Human|humanity]] and the heavens from those that seek their destruction. The angel is also very upbeat no matter what the situation, which certain characters, including both foe and ally, can find it a nuisance at times. Pit has a notable humorous side, and he likes to frequently banter, crack jokes, make outrageous puns, and constantly break the fourth wall. He has made references to other Nintendo games such as [[mariowiki:Dr. Mario (game)|''Dr. Mario'']], [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'']], ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'', and [[wikipedia:Nintendogs|''Nintendogs'']]. | ||
His loyalty to [[Palutena]] is unmatched, as he's shown to take great pride in serving under the goddess. As a sign of respect and devotion, he always addresses her as "Lady Palutena". Pit even openly states the main reason he fights in the first place is because of her. Also, in many of his speeches towards the enemy, he always mentions fighting under Palutena's name. However, his absolute trust and dependence on the goddess of light has shown to be double-edged sword, as it gives a boost to Pit's courage and morale, but these will all falter if she is not present. | His loyalty to [[Palutena]] is unmatched, as he's shown to take great pride in serving under the goddess.

Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises. Even Viridi was impressed by his "gaming IQ", and called him a "video game historian". Pit possesses a large appetite, claiming he always goes for seconds and thirds. He seemingly eats almost anything regardless of where it comes from (such as the floor), but seems to have a preference for junk food. Overall, his mind never seems to be too far from food, even during battles. He is shown to be a devout lover of [[Hot Spring|hot springs]], which Palutena (and once, Viridi) will occasionally conjure up for him. Pit strongly follows the "angel's code of conduct" to the point he even refuses to remove his clothes when entering water. However, the truth behind this is because the angel is frugal and wants to save on laundry. Pit is also very strong-willed, which is displayed by his strongly deterministic attitude. This in turn appears to have given him a powerful and nearly-unbreakable spirit, as the [[Chariot Master]] claims he has a "deep reservoir of strength". Pit has a low tolerance for poor attitude, as he states to [[Pandora]]'s nonchalant behavior that he can take anything but indifference. | Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises.

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. | |||

*A romantic interest between [[Palutena]] and Pit was implied in the best ending in the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]''. While this is not touched upon as much in ''Uprising'', she and Pit are shown to be incredibly close and Palutena is quite protective of him. However, it should be noted that this ending was not in the original Japanese version of ''Kid Icarus'', and was only in the English version, making it possibly not canon. | *A romantic interest between [[Palutena]] and Pit was implied in the best ending in the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]''.

*Pit appears to be ambidextrous as he is shown to be capable of using weapons skillfully with either hand. However, he is mainly depicted to be left-handed in the classic ''Kid Icarus'' games (as shown in his artwork) and in his ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearances (including his ''Melee'' trophy), while he is mainly right-handed in ''Uprising''. | *Pit appears to be ambidextrous as he is shown to be capable of using weapons skillfully with either hand.
