Hat Kid

"I’m a time traveling explorer! No area is too dangerous for me and my umbrella. My mission is find all the time pieces so I can go home!" - Manual Description of Hat Kid

The main protagonist of A Hat in Time, Hat Kid is a human-like alien attempting to collect the scattered Time Pieces, the fuel for her spaceship, so she can return home.

Her real name is unknown, as she never says it in-game, and the instruction manual lists her as “Me,” as it’s entirely written in first person.
