- <p>Seraphina is Pitch’s world, both literally and figuratively. She is, without exaggeration, the reason for his existence, both as the golden-hearted human general Kozmotis Pitchiner, and as the Nightmare King Pitch Black. For literally billions of years, Pitch was bereft of his memories of his only child: the first and most insidious side effect of being possessed by Fearlings. The damage done to Seraphina’s psyche by Pitch’s unintentional abandonment is vast-ranging, and Pitch acknowledges this with a rare and intense private guilt. Reuniting with Seraphina has been a slow and agonizing process for father and daughter, in which Pitch has had to play a very rusty role as the compassionate caretaker, nurturing, nonjudgmental, and level-headed, to an aloof, untrusting and emotionally mercurial omnipotent spirit. He has done so with a dogged determination to heal her wounds that has reawakened a paternal instinct that was never truly dormant. Pitch’s greatest wish is to see his child genuinely happy again. He is fiercely loyal to and protective of Seraphina and would gladly do anything for her. He recognizes with both amusement and dismay that he and Seraphina are alike in all the wrong ways—perfectionistic, workaholic, calculating, brusque, callous, cautious, and cynical—and he offers himself to her as a way to practice slowly rehabilitating into a life in which she realizes that she does not have to accomplish everything completely alone. </p>

- <p>[<a href="http://www.floatinggoldensands.tumblr.com">Fear's Counterpart</a>]</p>
- <p>Sanderson Mansnoozie, or “Sandy," the Guardian of Dreams and spirit of fulfilled wishes, was a famous Golden Star Pilot during the Golden Ages. He and Kozmotis were both enlisted in the Constellation Armies at the same time and when Kozmotis saved Sandy’s life from Dream Pirates, they became fast friends. Though the two are in nearly every way diametrical opposites, they became confidantes and, in their own odd way, soul mates, demonstrating an emotionally candid trust in each other that they bestowed few others. Then Kozmotis fell to the Fearlings and in turn felled Sandy’s star plane, causing it to crash in the place that ultimately became Dreamland, and Sandy, now appointed by MiM as a Guardian, mourned missed opportunities to somehow have “rescued" his dear companion. For the next countless eons, Pitch the Nightmare King harbored a vicious jealousy toward the Sandman, whose powers became connected on an intimate spiritual level with his own (neither can live if the other dies). During the battle at Burgess, Pitch tried to absorb Sandy completely and utilize his powers to make black “nightmare sand"—ultimately unsuccessfully. Shortly after this defeat, while Pitch was in a severely weakened state, the two former best friends rekindled their companionship, much to Sandy’s joy and Pitch’s secret relief. Sandy has dubbed Pitch “his Shadow" and the two have become somewhat inseparable buddies who banter and console each other of their hefty burdens during their nightly rounds to the bedsides of children. </p>

- <p>[ I don’t romantically ship Pitch with any other characters, OC or canon. Sorry :( ] </p>
- <p>Estelle Pitchiner was a legendary thief during the Golden Age. She and Kozmotis Pitchiner met by chance when he was a very young lieutenant of the Constellation Armies assigned to pursue her for stealing a nobleman’s child’s necklace. Their attraction was instantaneous and mutual. They became feisty friends who challenged each other on multiple levels and soon, inspiring each other to a personal best, they also became lovers. A marriage and a beloved daughter, Seraphina, followed. But Kozmotis was destined to become a widower. Estelle died in his arms, killed by rogue Fearlings. Consumed with guilt over his inability to protect his wife, Kozmotis threw himself with greater fervency into protecting his only child, trusting no one else with the task. Ultimately this was what led him to seek a post guarding the door of the Prison Planet. Millennia later, Pitch the Nightmare King and Estelle, reincarnated as Nocturne, the Spirit of Night and Patron Saint of Thieves and Nocturnal Creatures, are reunited. He still adores her like a smitten teenage boy. </p>

- <div class="text">
- <p>[<a href="http://www.weaverofstories.tumblr.com">Fear's Little Complication</a>]</p>
- <p>The serene, vigilant, and incomparably creative twelve-year-old named Katherine—who is the best friend of Pitch’s archenemy Nightlight and the ward of three of the original Guardians, Ombric Shalazar, Nicholas St. North, and E. Aster Bunnymund—is the person who is solely responsible for restoring Pitch’s memories of his daughter Seraphina. Pitch harbors extremely complex feelings toward Katherine, of mingled loathing and almost fatherly fondness. As time has passed, fondness has won the battle, and Pitch feels tenderly toward the child who reminds him, in many ways, powerfully of his own daughter. He cares for Katherine even though she vastly complicated his entire schema of himself by reminding him of the very different life he once led as a human. Ever since becoming the Nightmare King, Pitch has also compulsively sought to twistedly “adopt" particularly outstanding little boys and girls as “darkling princes and princesses" (such as Tsar Lunar and Nightlight), as some kind of misplaced way of filling the hole left by the daughter he could not consciously remember he once had. Katherine is the coup de grace of this strange need to remain a father figure, and because she is an orphan, she finds herself as drawn to Pitch as a potential father as Pitch is drawn to her as a potential daughter. Pitch is aware, however, that Seraphina is resentful and jealous toward Katherine, and feels threatened by the child’s existence in his life. He is torn between the two.</p>
- <p>This version of Katherine is drawn both to Pitch’s darkness and his former virtue, and despite the way that he has infiltrated her dreams in order to coerce her into being his hostage, she has consciously chosen to believe in his capacity to overcome his own evil. She has vowed never to destroy the Nightmare King with her own hands.</p>

- <p>[<a href="http://www.thememoryguardian.tumblr.com">Memory</a>]</p>
- <p>Pitch has always respected the Queen of the Tooth Fairies and Guardian of Memories, for her diligence and devotion to her work, and he has always empathized with her background: losing her beloved and fiercely guarded family in a moment of treacherous tragedy. At the current time, however, the two spirits are mutually cautious. Pitch seeks to achieve peace with his former enemies, and to obtain a more neutral role in the lives of children, but to Toothiana, who takes her own vows very seriously, the idea of a reformed Bogeyman is difficult to swallow. At the moment, Pitch’s admiration is one-sided, and meetings with Toothiana usually amount to tense verbal sparring (but at least no overt combat transpires). Pitch will continue to cautiously approach the Guardian whom he considers both the most important and the most competent, until she agrees to a détente. Secretly, Pitch wishes Toothiana could help him better harness his memories of his past life as Kozmotis Pitchiner. He longs to tap her expertise about the role and function of memory in the life of a person who has evolved into an entirely new being: a person like himself.</p>

- <p>Cupcake is a Burgess native, a young girl who is part of Jamie Bennett’s inner circle of friends, who witnessed Pitch’s most recent defeat at the hands of the Guardians. In the aftermath of the Bogeyman’s humiliating defeat, the child, who shares Kozmotis Pitchiner’s “stalwart" sense of protecting others and Pitch’s tendency to be marginalized and feared just for being different, bonded with Pitch. Ironically their current status as buddies ultimately arose from an explosive argument that prompted Pitch to write Cupcake an uncharacteristically meek letter of apology. Cupcake then followed a Fearling into the Nightmare King’s lair and he was so impressed by her courage and ingenuity that he gifted her a magical chimera to watch over her as she slept from thenceforth. Cupcake, through her natural inquisitiveness and the kindness hidden beneath her temper, has come to see Pitch as a necessary and important person who protects children in his own way. Pitch is touched by this. </p>

- <p>[<a href="http://www.generalpitchiner.tumblr.com">Fear's Past</a>]</p>
- <p>Pitch regards this brusquely noble version of his past self with a mixture of longing and jealous loathing. He recognizes that the demons that plague his innermost self are not all Fearlings, but also the ghosts of self-perfectionism, pride, and obstinacy, all of which he possessed in his past life as an illustrious war general. He rarely speaks with the man at his core who continues to combat and imprison the Fearlings from within, but when he does, conversations are oddly sympathetic and commiserating, despite mutual reservations. On the most basic level, Pitch wishes he could return to being Kozmotis fully, in the somewhat misguided belief that Seraphina would prefer to have her old father back, rather than the shadowy wraith he has become. But he also recognizes that this version of his past self is capable of brutality that matches or even exceeds his own: a fact that fascinates and disgusts him. </p>

- <p>Pitch and Ombric , the wizard of Atlantis, have been nemeses since Pitch declared war on Santoff Claussen and violently and repeatedly invaded Big Root, threatening the well-being of its residents and trying to enhance his skills in sorcery by stealing Ombric’s ancient tomes of knowledge. Ombric is the oldest mortal Guardian appointed directly by the Man in the Moon/Tsar Lunar to protect the children of earth and as such has conflicting allegiances with Pitch. But after Ombric extends a generous hand of detente to the Bogeyman, complimenting his prowess as a father and acknowledging the necessity of Fear in the maturation of healthy children, Pitch welcomes their new friendship.</p>

- <p>[<a href="http://easterdownunder.tumblr.com">Hope</a>]</p>
- <p>Pitch and Bunnymund have been bitter nemeses since the chaotic years just after the fall of the Golden Age, when Pitch indirectly but intentionally caused Bunnymund’s entire Pookan Brotherhood to be wiped out by a freak natural disaster on their home planet. Bunnymund has taken a defensive stance with respect to Pitch, acknowledging Pitch’s undeserved tragedies and how they turned him into a malevolent shade of his former, noble self. But, while Pitch, seeking to please Sanderson Mansnoozie, seeks at least a neutral treaty with the last Pooka, Bunnymund is characteristically cautious and brusque, not above shooting his mouth off at the tormented wraith who is trying to redefine and redeem himself, and verbally probing Pitch where it hurts most as a means of warning. Pitch resents this and, though he is trying to be patient, may never have a truly cordial relationship with the time-traveling manufacturer of chocolate eggs.</p>

- <p>Little of what I have said about Pitch’s feelings toward his daughter changes with this version of Seraphina, but there are some marked differences in her response toward his attentions. This Phina, as I call her, is far more gregarious and openly affectionate toward both her parents—particularly her father, with whom she instantly desired to reunite— is confident and self-possessed, is part of a collective of celestial spirits who became the personifications of our solar system, and intentionally took after her father as a military brat. She is however in her own way both methodical and mercurial in unpredictable turns, just like my main Seraphina.</p>
