NiGHTS

NiGHTS (ナイツ, Naitsu), is both a fictional character and protagonist of the NiGHTS series created by Kazuyuki Hoshino. NiGHTS is a genderless, dreamish fairy-like character who lives in Nightopia, which is a manifestation of all the human beings' dreams.

Originally created as a tool of malice by Wizeman - an evil ruler of Nightmare filled with malicious and evil dreams - the character evolved to be a mischievous, light-hearted and innocuous figure that was fully contrary to what its evil creator had intended it to be.

As such, he/she had turned against him and subsequently drew up plans to take him down and prevent his evil, nightmarish schemes.

That said, he/she is not a textbook example of what one expects a 'hero' to be - it has been depicted as a childish, rebellious character who nevertheless is able to see that Wizeman's motives are morally wrong, and seeks to defeat him to free the dimensions of his tyrannical regime.

"Shut up, Wizeman! We’re not your puppets! No matter what you think, we can do things on our own!"
 * —NiGHTS, to Wizeman the Wicked.

Personality
NiGHTS behaves childishly and mischievously, never for a moment thinking of the consequences of his/her actions for example sometimes scaring people just for fun. However, he/she are playful in nature and his/her actions can mostly be considered chivalrous. An overly free spirit, NiGHTS detests being ordered around or restrained, and freely flies through the skies of Nightopia. NiGHTS is full of curiosity, and loves anything new or unusual.

Although NiGHTS does not have a strong sense of righteousness, he/she is unhappy about Wizeman's attempts to eliminate Nightopia. He/she also enjoy showing Visitors around and generally sees them not only as allies against Wizeman, but also as companions. Sometimes, when very relaxed, NiGHTS will pull out an invisible flute and start playing.

NiGHTS is shown to be rather sympathetic toward some of his/her enemies, such as Reala, which is easily turned against them and cares greatly for the Visitors, even letting him/herself get captured so they would not be harmed.

Abilities and Powers
NiGHTS' main and most notable ability is flight, able to fly freely and gracefully through the air. Besides flying, NiGHTS shows various other abilities. NiGHTS can create small portals called paraloops if they fly in a circle using their "twinkle dust", a bright substance emitting from their hands when they fly. NiGHTS is also able to spin to gain speed and hit enemies, this move is called the "Drill Dash", possible reference to Sonic's Spin Dash.

In the first game, NiGHTS shows the ability to transform into a bobsled, an ability that was expanded upon in the sequel with the introduction of Persona Masks. Each mask allows NiGHTS to change forms and abilities accordingly, including those of a dragon for gust resistance, a rocket for acceleration and a dolphin for swimming. Along with the persona masks, NiGHTS is also able to transform into a boat and a roller coaster, as well as rolling up in a ball to roll down slides.

NiGHTS has also been seen playing an "invisible" flute on numerous occasions, called the "Dream Flute", which plays "Dreams Dreams". NiGHTS can also be noted to have the ability "Acrobatics", which is when NiGHTS releases a yellow bright ribbion-like light from their hands and then does a frontward flip in the air.
