Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic. He is generally very upbeat no matter what the situation (although he can be genuinely serious when needed), which certain characters, including both foe and ally, can find it a nuisance. Pit frequently banters, cracks jokes, makes outrageous puns, and constantly breaks the fourth wall. He has made references to other Nintendo games such as [[mariowiki:Dr. Mario (game)|''Dr. Mario'']], [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'']], and [[wikipedia:Nintendogs|''Nintendogs'']]. Pit also possesses a strong sense of justice, and believes in protecting humanity and the heavens from those that seek their destruction. His loyalty to Palutena is unmatched, and he always addresses her as "Lady Palutena". Pit even states the main reason he fights in the first place is because of her. However, his absolute trust and dependence on Palutena has shown to be a major weakness, as Pit's courage and morale (and in some cases, his sanity) will falter if she is not present. Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises. Even at one point, he was called a "video game historian". Pit also has a large appetite (which may have rubbed off from Palutena) and will eat almost anything regardless of where it comes from. Overall, his mind never seems to be too far from food even during battles. He is shown to be a devout lover of 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. | Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic.

Due to his young age, Pit is childish, gullible and naive. He is unfortunately not very bright either (but he can still have his moments . Pit is illiterate 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 can become oversensitive, especially when someone brings up the topic regarding his inability to fly, or when someone insults his goddess. He can even be 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. | Due to his young age, Pit is childish, gullible and naive.

Despite Pit being a flightless angel, he is still a skilled and versatile fighter. He originally started out as an archer that mainly specialized in using the Bow, but over the years he has become more experienced with using various weapons like the [[Blade]], [[Claws]], [[Cannon]], etc. Even though Pit has a childish appearance, he seems to possess great physical strength, and is capable of utilizing massive weapons like the [[Arm]] or [[Club]]. He is commonly described to be the most powerful warrior of Palutena's Army. [[Viridi]] even comments he is destructive as "a hundred Reset Bombs", and the [[Chariot Master]] states he possesses a "deep reservoir of strength". The angel has also learned to use impressive abilities and magic known as [[Powers]] which are granted by Palutena. Although he has access to numerous weapon classes, he has preference for bows, specifically the [[Palutena Bow]], which is also his signature weapon. | Despite Pit being a flightless angel, he is still a skilled and versatile fighter.
