Kite is a female character in the Object Overload franchise. She appeared as a contestant in the 2013 and 2015 series.
Appearance[]
Kite appears to be a stringless, multicolored cloth kite. Her body has four colors, being red, blue, yellow, and green (clockwise), put in a four corners/large checkerboard pattern.
Personality[]
Kite is considered by fans and Niall himself as a "Mary Sue." She is one of the nicest objects around and is willing to help anybody. She does have her limits, such as when she turned down Candy wanting to show her her new stripes when she was focusing on trying to fix Toaster in "The End of the Beginning". Niall tried to write Kite as having obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the 2015 series, obsessing over the well-being of others and freaking out when she has difficulty solving a problem[1]. This OCD trait could be seen in "Rostrum Rampage", where she tried to save Toaster out of worry twice, but failed to.
Abilities[]
- Flying: Like a normal kite, if she is attached with a string on a windy day, she will be able to fly. This was seen in "Branching Out".
Disabilities[]
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder: In the 2015 series, Kite tries to help anyone who appears troubled on impulse and freaks out if she cannot solve a problem.
Coverage[]
Object Overload[]
The End of the Beginning[]
Kite is trying to help Toaster fix him again, ignoring Candy, who wanted to show Kite her new stripes. Then, Toaster spat out his toast at Kite. He did it so quickly that Kite did not notice quick enough to dodge the flying toast that hit her eye, making her partially blind and bumping into Tissue. In the challenge, Ping Pong Ball asked Kite if she can help him up the podium. After she agreed, she kicked him on the podium. Later in the challenge, Toaster was broken again. Kite asked him if he is okay, but then she is hit by a flying dodgeball making her fall. The dodgeball that hit her ricocheted into Toaster, making him fall off the podium too.
"Um, could you help me, please? I have a broken arm and my eye kinda hurts."
At the end, Kite was at the hospital telling the lady at the front that she has a broken arm (possibly caused by hitting the ground too hard.) and her eye kind of hurts. (caused by Toaster who shot toast into her eye.) The lady tells Kite to join the line of patients, who are all recommended characters.
A Shocking Addition[]
Kite was chosen by Boombox, as well as Boxing Glove, Soccer Ball, Toaster, Masky, Disc, Marble, Pearly, Toothy, Coney, Paper Airplane, and Ping Pong Ball was chosen to be on Team Tune. The challenge was to guide your partner through an electrical maze. After Gamey said the rules a few times, Lighter interrupted him to say what happens when you touch the electric fence, then kicks Kite into the maze, touching the fence, and got electrocuted to death. She was then recovered from the doorway of life Clock built. Kite got paired up with Toaster. She said to him that he will be safe. Toaster responded to her by saying that electricity tickles. In the challenge, Kite yelled at Toaster to go. Toaster wall jumped out of the maze, making him the second one out of the maze.
Set in Stone[]
Kite asked Casey how the elimination went. She answered that it was great, mostly because she voted Lighter off. Kite agreed to her and was about to say that he was such a big jerk until she saw the newbies, Locky, Television, Fly Swat, and Tiki. She then asked who were they and Gamey answered that these were the new contestants. The challenge was to make a statue of Gamey. Kite and Boxing Glove were the only ones seen doing the challenge. In the challenge, Kite was complemented by Tiki that it was a nice statue. Kite thanked them and asked why were they in the Christmas presents. She was answered that she couldn't remember why she was in the presents.
Branching Out[]
Globe and Candy were arguing, Candy said to Globe that Kite noticed the three percent difference on her stripes, but Kite did not notice so she said she didn't, even though you can't see her. The challenge was to climb the great tree which is exactly 500 feet tall. Kite told her team (Team Tune) that she can tie a string around her, run as fast as she can, and jump. Because she is a Kite, she can fly. She can fly to a nearby branch and tie the string to it. Then the team can climb on the branch and work from there. The team agreed to do that. So, once Kite tied the string, Boxing Glove said as he pulled the string, seems secure. But the team didn't want him to climb first. That is because Marble said that he might snap the string, and "murder" the team and Kite agreed too (which is a little out of character for her because she is always nice) and she also agreed to make Boxing Glove go last. Once the team climbed up, she said that she can't go any farther than that. So Boombox had an idea to launch Disc out of the contestant cannon.
In Deeper Waters[]
She tries to be friends with Tissue before the elimination but fails too because Tissue didn't want any friends. She also calls Toaster sweet after he says she wants her eliminated because he hates her so much. In the elimination, Kite was declared safe. The challenge is to cross the Rapid Rapids, which Kite and Picture looked scared. Later, in order for her team to win the challenge, she uses Toaster as a motor to get ahead. But when Crayon, (a Team Time member) hit the sign, the sign switched, causing the other team to go to the path of the waterfall. When Soccer Ball noticed the waterfall, the team jumped onto the banks. As Pearly said. But when Kite noticed that Toaster was still on the boat, she risked her life to jump over the waterfall and save Toaster even though she failed and hit the bottom of the waterfall. After losing everyone on Team Tune, she awakens from the bottom of the waterfall and notices that she is alone at the bottom. Worried about Toaster, she saw a shadow. Scaring her, she didn't notice the rope trap and was caught.
Lost and Found[]
Kite was first seen muttering about where Toaster was. Then, she screamed in shock when she sees Tiki, who says that he is her biggest fan. Then, the trap broke and she was free and passed out. After she woke up, Tiki told Kite what happened and then she asked who was the tiki. Tiki said that his name was Tiki. Kite responded that she had a friend named Tiki. Tiki answered that was his big sister Tiki. Kite asked that he knows Tiki. Tiki answered that he watched Object Overload on the glowy box. Kite asked Tiki what glowy box. Tiki said that he will show Kite to the others. Kite asked that there were more of them and Tiki answered that there were tons of them at camp. Then, Tiki asked Kite but Kite told Tiki just to call her Kite, not Ms. Kite. Then Tiki asked her how did she get here. Kite answered that she and Toaster were doing the challenge and then she jumped off and was stranded by the beach and then she got trapped. Tiki said sorry and they needed it to catch the glowy box because he ran away often. Kite asked if TV moved. Tiki said he preferred the name Television. Kite gasped as she remembered one of the contestants being Television as a flashback came to her about Television telling her to that Television told her to call him Television. Kite noticed that Tiki and Television were from here. Tikit told Kite that the camp was close and then, he will explain everything.
Object Overload Reboot[]
Rostrum Rampage[]
Kite was first seen when she offered to help get some of the alliance untied from the ropes they were after doing their "successful cliff dive". She told them to be more careful and walked away shortly after. She was later seen once they found Gamey and he told the contestants he was hosting a reality show. She was the first one to fail in the challenge, trying to save Toaster. When Candy got out, she happily greeted her down in the water. When Toaster got hit off, she tried to catch him but failed, and Toaster exploded, with her saying "Oh, what is my life..?" Before the credits, she remarked how she couldn't wait for the next episode.

- She is also the very first character who was recovered by the Doorway of Life, as seen in "A Shocking Addition."
- Kite has some influence from two characters from Battle for Dream Island. Her personality and shape are based on Leafy, while her raspy voice is based on Fries.
- At first, fans assumed that Toaster was the one who trapped Kite, but it was revealed in "Lost and Found" that it was one of the tikis that currently live on their island.
- Niall actually stated that Toaster didn't trap Kite, due to being her friend and that he is too stupid to work a rope trap.
- She also competes in Object Universe's cancelled second season, Object Twoniverse, where she is refereed to as a male in that show.
- Everyone in Object Twoniverse refers to her with male pronouns. A lot of fans, regardless of franchise, have actually used male pronouns on her.
- Kite was hinted to have potamophobia, the fear of rivers, in "In Deeper Waters". In that episode, she gulps out of fears upon seeing the Rapid Rapids.
- Kite was one of the three contestants who were planned to have won the show at some point during the 2013 series. The others are Masky and Fly Swat.
- Coincidentally, all three of them have arms and legs, are partially blue, and are on Team Tune.
