Neutral Traits

CURIOUS
Kit pokes his nose into everything whether it's his business or not, he's insatiably curious and always likes to know what's going on. He's always asking how or why and it's fine if you have the patience for it, but if not, it's downright annoying. Kit's curiosity can frequently go one of two ways, either leading him to new and interesting discoveries that benefit himself or the gang, or leading himself directly into trouble that means someone else has to pull him out of it. You know what they say, "curiosity killed the cat."

HONEST
Kit cannot tell a lie. He is from time to time, brutally honest, whether he means to be or not. He's not intentionally mean, but his reluctance to straight up lie to people - even white lies - can sometimes get him into sticky situations. He's not afraid to give others a truthful answer when asked for it, even if the situation calls for a lie. If you've got a bad haircut or a poor outfit choice, he'll be the first to tell you. Kit doesn't fully understand why others would lie or bend the truth, and tends to get upset when he finds out he has been lied to by someone else. Kit is probably the most reliable member of the gang when it comes to getting the real truth - maybe that's why he doesn't always get told everything.

ENERGETIC & EXCITABLE 
Kit is a live wire, he's usually bouncing off the walls and has troubles sitting still. He tends to be more or less ready for anything so long as he's with his friends but often his seemingly boundless amounts of energy can exhaust everyone else around him. He's easily excitable and easily riled up. The world fascinates and excites him and he's always thrilled to have new experiences. However, in more serious situations it can sometimes be a little difficult to get Kit to settle down so everyone else can think. Kit is bouncy and playful and always ready to rope anyone else in to whatever game he's playing - whether they want to play or not.

SENSITIVE
Kit is extremely sensitive, both physically and emotionally. He's incredibly in touch with his inner feelings and emotions and it's not often difficult to tell how he's feeling. However, it's easy to upset Kit, a wrong word or action and he'll more than likely let you know it; he can be tearful at the best of times and can seemingly switch on the waterworks like flipping a switch - and God forbid you make Kit cry while Jesse is around. Kit doesn't appreciate too much rough handling unless he's asked for it, he prefers a gentle touch and a patient lover.

TALKATIVE
Kit's friendly nature means that he likes to talk and once you get him into conversation it can be incredibly difficult to shut him up. Kit can talk the leg off a donkey and he doesn't particularly care whether you answer him or not. This is both a blessing and a curse depending on who you are, it makes for an incredible decoy or distraction when the rest of the gang are robbing someone, but if you're riding with him, it's a different matter. Kit often doesn't know when to shut up, and even when he's reprimanded for it, silence doesn't particularly last very long. It's probably best just to tune him out.

COWARDLY
Despite how hard he tries, Kit isn't a particularly brave boy, he takes fright easily and usually doesn't stick around long enough to face his fears. He's not the most useful in high pressure, dangerous situations since his first instinct is to run rather than turn and fight - but it's also good at getting him out of danger. Kit is scared of the dark, scared of thunderstorms and doesn't like when others raise their voice at him. It's easy to get him to cower. He tends to seek comfort in those he knows are braver than him, it gives him a sense of security.

EASILY DISTRACTED
Kit's mind functions at a hundred miles per hour, so it's no surprise that it's incredibly easy to pull him away from whatever task he's doing. Although this can be incredibly frustrating when others are trying to get him to focus, it also means he's somewhat good at multitasking. Kit likes to have multiple things to do at once, it helps him stop his mind from wandering too far if he can pour his focus into more than one task. That being said, it doesn't mean something more interesting wont still draw him away from what he's doing.

NAIVE
Kit is far too innocent for his own good, he has an almost pure nature and can sometimes have poor judgement of other people due to his overly trusting personality. He can sometimes have a rose tinted view of the world due to his lack of experience and it can be upsetting to him when he realises the truth. Kit’s innocence can be refreshing in a world of filthy outlaws and corrupt lawmen, but it can also get him into some undesirable situations. Kit is soft, and still a little wet behind the ears.

Positive Traits

FRIENDLY & OUTGOING
Kit has a friendly nature, he's more than comfortable in social situations and is happy to be the center of attention. Kit is easy to spend time around, his outgoing nature tends to make others around him relax and open up a little. He has no issues inserting himself into conversations and doesn't have too much of an issue making new friends either. He's approachable and gets along with most personalities. Kit falls into a crowd a little easier than most, he's something of a social butterfly and is happiest surrounded by those he considers friends. Kit is usually the first one to offer a friendly hand to a stranger, despite the fact it can sometimes get him into trouble.

PERCEPTIVE & INTUITIVE
Kit often notices things that others don't, whether it be in the environment or someone's subtle change in emotion. He has keen ears and keen eyes and often hears or sees things before anyone else does. It makes him useful out scouting, as Kit will often find things that no one else noticed. He's awfully good at deducing whether someone or not is telling the truth and tends to pick up on microexpressions someone doesn't even know they're making. He's especially good at this when it comes to Jesse; like all the best mothers, you can't hide much from Kit.

OPTIMISTIC
Kit is optimistic and tries to find the best in all situations. He's usually hopeful that things will work out in the end, even when they're at their worst. He has faith in his family that they'll pull through and his optimistic nature tends to rub off on the other around him. Kit always sees the best in other people no matter what they've done, and tends to believe that most people are good at the heart of it all. He tries to look on the brighter side of life as a way of keeping his own spirits high.

IMAGINATIVE 
Kit is creative and imaginative, he tends to daydream a lot and can come up with plans or ideas that might have slipped by the older, slightly less creative men in camp. He's good at fabricating stories and is usually happy among the pages of a dime novel or listening to stories at the campfire. Kit tends to exaggerate from time to time and can sometimes, unintentionally, make the truth sound more fantastical than it really is.

WELL EDUCATED & THINKS CRITICALLY
Kit is smart, he's been formally taught from a young age - a benefit he holds over a few of his illiterate companions. He's got a sharp mind when it comes to solving problems and his way of critical thinking can often overcome obstacles that the gang is struggling with. He's well read and knows his ways around reading, writing and arithmatic. Kit is smart with numbers, he can count better than most of the other members of the gang and his comprehension of the written word is second to none. Kit might be wildly inadequate when it comes to world experience, but he certainly isn't stupid.

OPEN-MINDED
Although this wasn't once true, since joining the Carson Gang, Kit's opinion of others has changed for the better. He doesn't tend to judge other people too much, as his family of all kinds of misfits made him realise that underneath it all, everyone is human. Kit is happy to make friends with more or less anyone regardless of their background. He is always curious of others' experiences and often ready to listen and take on new ideas. His lack of experience in the world makes him a little more ready to hear others views of things from their point of view than most men might be.

GENTLE & KIND-HEARTED
Kit has a mostly gentle nature, he's sugary sweet and perhaps even cute. He's kind toward others and often has something nice to say to those who need a pick-me-up. Kit doesn't like to see those he loves upset, he's not bound by the restraints of toxic masculinity and isn't afraid to show love or affection to others. He's not as ready to fight as some of the other members of the gang, preferring to stay out of violence unless he has no other choice. Kit has a particular soft spot towards animals, he frequently gets upset with Jesse for the slightly mean treatment he gives his stallion.
