Patrick "Ricky" Parisa (uncle, no contact)

Leo Parisa (cousin, no contact)

**Kit Parisa** (Kit per-EE-zah) is a person who strives to solve problems and help others in any way xe can. Xe is open-minded and somewhat innocent, sometimes to the point of being naive. Xe is more of an introvert, but doesn't dislike talking to people and will almost always approach you first if you seem to be having a rough day (or if you're visibly playing any sort of video game). Xe might panic in high-pressure social situations, but mostly keeps a cool head, unless something detrimental is happening around xem. Xe somewhat collapses under any kind of peer pressure though, and barely ever stands up for xemself.

## Appearance

Kit is a small, physically weak person who is almost visibly underweight. They have short, well-kept, black hair, dark gray eyes, extremely fair skin dotted with freckles, and a scar that goes from their right cheek down and across their neck. They usually wear a white and gray horizontally striped t-shirt underneath a sleek black jacket with white cuffs and accents, black, almost threadbare, jeans, a charcoal-gray belt, a golden locket with multicolored gemstones formatted in the shape of a heart, a golden bracelet with their surname on it, and black dress shoes. They also are always seen with a black notebook, personalized black fountain pen, and a black Nintendo 3DS XL.

## Relationships

### Luka Verna

To Kit, Luka is the most important person in their life, by a long shot. He's not only their best friend, but he was the only thing that constantly and consistently made them smile when they truly needed it. Kit feels like they and Luka were always destined to be friends, since their parents and Luka's dads were best friends, too, so they've known each other almost their whole lives. Even after Kit moved across the country, their friendship never faltered. Kit is very grateful to have an amazing person like Luka as their friend.

### Jayden Parker

Before coming to the school, Kit had watched Jayden's Twitch streams.

At Hope's Peak, Kit originally met Jayden in the form of the robot Jaden, and the two seemed to hit it off well. They had similar interests, and Kit streamed with him on one occasion. They considered him a friend, one of their first at the school. Of course, once Kit learned about the robot's true nature, they were disgusted with him, and even helped hide Nik from the fan-pocalypse.

After the true Jayden took over, he met Kit and gave them a notebook that the Jaden-bot had written. It was filled with obsessive ramblings about Kit, and even a lock of their hair. This soured any semblance of a relationship that Jayden could have had with them, because they could only see the robot that had hurt so many people.

Kit regrets that they didn't try and reach out to Jayden before his death, and wishes that they had spoken at least once more.

### Suko Ryu

Negative relationship. Suko is the third person Kit has actively hated, and for good reason. He made fun of them for being unable to speak, among other things, and Kit has avoided him ever since.

### Ash Maki

Kit recognizes Ash as one of their few friends, even if they aren't the closest. They originally bonded over an enjoyment of Pokemon (as all great friendships start), and after the Suko incident, Ash seemed concerned about them. Once they told him about Suko, even though they tried to tell him not to, Ash hurt Suko as an attempt to get him to stop messing with his friends. Even though Kit was upset at Ash's lashing out, they were grateful that someone cared about them.

### Simon Montgomery

Simon is Kit's roommate, and they have a positive relationship. They've given advice to Simon on many occasions, to help his relationship with Luka. They think he's a sweet guy, and a great match for their best friend.

### Shay King

As with most of their friendships, Shay and Kit first bonded over Pokemon. They taught him how to play the game and even lent him a spare 3DS so that he could play.

On their birthday, Shay showed up to their pseudo-party, giving them a plushie of their favorite pokemon, Serperior and some comfort when they decided to lightly trauma dump on him. This made them grow a little closer to Shay.

After this, Shay and Kit met up again, when Shay was feeling down about Scar leaving for Turkey. To try and cheer him up, they offered to play games with him, introducing him to Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Shay seemed to enjoy the game, until a timed section appeared, causing him to go into fight or flight mode. Noticing that he seemed uncomfortable, Kit turned off the game and apologized for introducing it to him. Shay then confided in Kit that they are one of his first friends, which struck a chord with them because they had said something similar to Luka years before, and they cried, though they were trying to hide their emotions from Shay so that they didn't worry him, but this failed, and Shay comforted them.

## Trivia

* Due to an injury, Kit is unable to speak. They communicate by either using sign language or, more likely, writing in their notebook. They usually prefer sign language, but can deal with writing.
* Their Youtube channel, named PASgaming, has around 250k subscribers, and is decently well-known in the Pokemon community. They post mostly gaming and Pokemon related content. Their most viewed video is the first episode of a Pokemon Emerald nuzlocke, in which Wally finds a shiny Ralts during his catching tutorial.
* They are extremely well-versed in competitive Pokemon, so much so that they have competed in the VGC World Championships many times. They currently have two wins under their belt.
* They are decently touch starved, and their brain will stop functioning for a good few minutes if given a hug or some other form of affection.
* They currently own four pets: a red and black milk snake named Charcoal and three mice named Starfruit, Goldenrod, and Sakura. Starfruit is mostly white with cream splotches and a missing tail, Goldenrod is mostly cream with a white muzzle and belly, and Sakura is noticeably smaller than the other two and is mostly white with black splotches.
* The fact that they've never beaten Luka at SSBU annoys the crap out of them, and they have made it a goal to beat him just once.
* The Serperior plush that Shay gave them is the sole stuffed animal on their bed and they definitely dont cuddle with it when they go to sleep.
* [Creator Fact] Kit was originally an OC from the game Pokemon Reborn, and originated from the idea of a truly silent protagonist in that game and how it would change. I enjoyed their character so much that I wanted to flesh it out more and put them into PoDSM.
* [Creator Fact] When I was thinking of the concept, I always referred to the character I was creating, before I knew it would be Kit, with gender-neutral pronouns, so much so that they stuck and sounded off whenever I refered to them as anything but nonbinary.
* [Creator Fact] I genuinely have no idea how the hell I came up with their backstory. It is a mystery to me that I may never solve because I didn't take any character notes at that time. Other than a tiny bit of influence from Dead Weight by Jack Stauber.
