'''Pit''' (ピット ''Pitto'') is the main protagonist of the ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus | '''Pit''' (ピット ''Pitto'') is the main protagonist of the ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 (1986 on the Famicom), followed by an appearance in ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'' for the Game Boy in 1991. Other than a handful of cameos in other Nintendo games, Pit did not appear again until the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', seventeen years after ''Of Myths and Monsters'', in which he was one of the first newcomers shown and one of the starter characters. | ||

He is sometimes erroneously referred to as "Kid Icarus" in reference to the English title of the series. Pit is always armed with his trusty [[Bow]] and [[Arrow of Strength|arrows]] and prefers ranged combat, though he has demonstrated a fair amount of melee capability. | ||

He | 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, around 13-years<ref>http://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/sora_sakurai/status/186441951845949441</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</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-colored gem embedded on it. He wears the outfit with a brown belt and a gold, triangular buckle. Pit also appears to wear a close-fitting navy blue undershirt and shorts beneath his chiton. The angel now has a pair of brown and gold cuffs on his wrists, a gold bracelet on his upper left arm, and another gold ring on his right thigh. Pit's sandals are brown and decorated with crossing, beige bands. The top edges of his shoes have what appears to be white fur or wool. | ||

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. Pit also deeply cares about the human race and is willing to do anything to keep them safe. His loyalty to Palutena is matched by no other, 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 severely drop 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 and will eat almost anything regardless of where it comes from. 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 gullible and naive. He is unfortunately not very bright either. 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 enough, 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. According to Palutena, Pit embarrasses easily, and Pit himself admits he gets stage fright. | Due to his young age, Pit is gullible and naive. He is unfortunately not very bright either.

*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 has a tendency to break through the fourth wall a lot, referencing other Nintendo franchises and situations, such as when he points out that [[Komayto]]s "look like little Metroids" or saying that he and [[Twinbellows]] are going to "rack up some serious Nintendogs trainer points together." | *Pit has a tendency to break through the fourth wall a lot, referencing other Nintendo franchises and situations, such as when he points out that [[Komayto]]s "look like little Metroids" or saying that he and [[Twinbellows]] are going to "rack up some serious Nintendogs trainer points together." | ||
