Kit
Kit is an androgynous gypsy pup. He is one of the few openly homosexual characters.
Kit in Fan fiction
Kit is generally considered to be among the "good" pups on the farm. In most fics he is given a backround or second-role often functioning as a second opinion to the main character. Kit is depticed as both happy and pensive, giving his generally good ways a bit of melancholy. He rarely has much dialogue, being silent and thoughtful for the most, but has on a few occasions spoken up for himself. Kit also appears as some kind of oddity among his fellow pups, taking his sometimes odd behaviour in consideration.
In the fics focused on Kit his silent and thoughtful manner is portrayed as a sometimes struggeling reflection on the things that surround him. It is made clear that he is sometimes alienated due to his lack of understanding a common puppy life.
Kit's appearance is made distinct by a black spot covering his left eye, femme eyelashes, slim build and a golden earring in his right ear (symbolizing his gypsy heritage.)
At the farm he is known to reside in the attic, often listening to the radio or Roger's vast record collection.
Personality
In fics centered around Kit it is made clear that his odd behavour stems from a form of compulsive disorder (Sometimes exercising behaviour or mental acts in order to prevent or cause a natural action. These actions does not need to be realistic.) Other examples on this are pausing just before he is about to speak needing to think through just what he is supposed to say, repetative/pointless exercises in order to perform something and the most prominent fear of acting out on violent or aggressive impulses, or feeling overly responsible for the safety of others. This disorder is however not implied as to be very severe. To others it might just look like Kit is trying to remember something.
Among friends Kit is not always in the spotlight, but supports his friends in the ways that he can. He is generally an empathic and cheerful pup. Kit is also regarded as highely intelligent, posessing a vast understanding for music, dancing and arts. He also has (perhaps due to his disorder) an impressive analytical objective logic, mostly concerning manners, sometimes being able to "see" people motives by how they respond to emotions. Kit has a keen passion for knowledge, but suffers from analphabetism which has him prevented from learning much on his own.
Kit displays a huge unexplained passion about running.
History
Kit has a colourful history behind him. He was born at a gympsy camp and spent the first moments of his life together with older brother, Hat, older sister Lid and younger sister Straw, proving that despite popular beleafs, Kit is not the runt of his litter. It is once commented by Hat that the reason for the odd names isbecause "they where easy to remember for our pets." His parents has never been mentioned.
It was through the gypsies (referred to as "the romani" by Kit and his siblings) that Kit developed his passion for dancing and music. He would often perform with the gypsies to help them earn a living.
One sudden day Kit was put as a bargain to please an unsatisfied customer, having him traded away from his siblings. All alone Kit spent two weeks in a bike shop. It was here he would meet Mia, a female husky pup, who would become his first love. Their love didn't last long and turned into complications which resulted in Kit running away from the shop and eventually ending up at the farm. He had a rough start, but eventually befriended other pups, noteably Phillip and Clayton.
Love and friendship
Mia
Kit got to know Mia from the Bike shop days between his gypsy life and his farm life. Mia was attracted to Kits thoughtfulness and ideas, claiming he "made her feel safe." In a flashback in "never going back" it is hinted that the two where intimate, yet Kit failed to respond to his responsibility as a mate. Mia was frustrated and hurt and left Kit in anger. This caused the confused Kit to run away. In a side story, "The Gypsy stream of consciousness (pt 2)," Mia is said to be travelling together with Kit's older brother, Hat. She also expresses that she misses Kit and wonders if he has changed.
Clayton
Clayton is Kits best friend on the farm. They became closer after Kit helped bring Clayton together with his current spouse, Kendra. It is clear that on some point Kit still confused friendship and love, as Kit kissed him once. This action was not fused by love or even sexuality, just meant friendly. The poor emotional pup, Clayton was shocked over what this meant and left Kit in anger in a very similar way that Mia had done to him earlier. These events forced Kit to finally produce aself-realization. Their friendship has since then healed and the two remain very supportive of each other, like brothers.
Phillip
Phillip is the closest thing Kit has to a spouse, or boyfriend. He was the first friend Kit made on the farm, and his naive and sense of justice had him take care of Kit. The two soon developed an diverse relationship, but swore to keep it a secret. The wherabouts of their relationship today is unknown.
