Kyle Broflovski

Kyle Broflovski, voiced by Matt Stone, is one of the five main characters of South Park, along with Stan, Kenny, Cartman and Butters and is often the show's secondary protagonist, but often swaps roles with Stan.

Appearences
Kyle wears a greenish lime ushanka, a bright orange jacket, dark green pants, and lime-green mittens. Kyle weighs 83 lbs., as stated in "Human CentiPad." Underneath his hat, he has a bright red Jewfro, a hairstyle he seems to resent. This was first shown in "How to Eat With Your Butt"; he is seen without his hat in "Lil' Crime Stopper".

Personality
Originally, Kyle's personality was extremely similar to Stan's - he had firm morals and generally was the "good boy" of the group, generally being the one to deliver the "I learned something today" speech at the end of the episodes. After the abandoned plan to kill Kyle off in season 5 (that honor went, predictably, to Kenny) his personality was changed - most notably his temper shortened considerably.

Kyle has extremely strong beliefs, and when forced to question them, he becomes very upset and has somewhat of 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 control of emotions, an example of this being when Cartman sang a song about his mother being a "bitch" and got everyone to join in, which annoyed Kyle. Cartman is more than happy to poke fun at Kyle in other ways as well, which has landed him in trouble many times. However, Kyle has been known to abandon his beliefs if there is a lot of money in it for him - he only changed his mind when he realised he was turning into Cartman (Crack Baby Atheletic Association).

Kyle has a wide imagination and is easily the most compassionate of the boys, despite his short patience. He also is known to be the most sensible of the four and even though he sometimes puts his own emotions before common sense, he usually manages to find logical solutions to problems - solutions which are often ignored in favour of something ridiculous (Cartman's "psychic abilities", for example - although Kyle did manage to offer his solution through his own equally fraudulent "psychic abilities" ("Cartman's Incredible Gift")). This is yet another thing that annoys Kyle. Kyle has been shown to be ignorant and neurotic.
