Kyle Broflovski

Originally, Kyle's personality was extremely similar to his best friend Stan's - he had firm morals and generally was the "good boy" of the group, often being the one to deliver the "I learned something today" speech at the end of the episodes. Soon his personality was changed - most notably, his temper shortened considerably. Like his mother, Kyle does speeches to say what he thinks is right. He can sometimes be a little egotistical about his intelligence, yet at times can also be a little immature for his intelligence, such as fingerpainting. Kyle has extremely strong beliefs, and when forced to question them, he becomes very upset and has somewhat of a short temper (especially when it comes to Cartman. This is has caused a lot of fights between the two boys). For the most part, Kyle bases his decisions on both his emotions and beliefs; therefore, he is easily coaxed into fights or manipulated by his feelings. However, Kyle has been known to abandon his beliefs if there is a lot of money in it for him and self-justify himself despite knowing how wrong he is. Despite his short temper, Kyle has a wide imagination and is easily the most compassionate of the boys, not finding the invasive gossip from Eavesdropper to be amusing unlike the majority of the other kids in his class. He shows genuine empathy by reasoning that others would not find the site to be funny if it wrote about them. Kyle believes he knows everything, or at the very least believes everything has a logical explanation, and is quick to dismiss any supernatural phenomenon. He gets rather upset when he's wrong, and oftentimes he will sulk into an upset mood when something does not go his way.
