Medusa is a goddess with a very sinister and wicked heart. She has a strong hatred of humans and desires to see them suffer. Medusa is very sadistic, shown by her love for killing humans and tendency to add gruesome details whenever she makes colorful threats. Medusa openly claims to Pit and Palutena that there is no better way to celebrate her return than by starting a bloodbath. She also claims to Pit that she will tear off his wings to sever him from the heavens forever. | Medusa is a goddess with a very sinister and wicked heart.

She is a vengeful deity that does not go down lightly and will hold life-long grudges | She is a vengeful deity that does not go down lightly and will hold life-long grudges against those who oppose her. Her entire motivation in the game stems from her seething hatred for Pit and Palutena. She blames the goddess of light for turning her into a monster and banishing her from Skyworld. As such, she takes every opportunity to mock Palutena, such as when she taunts the goddess by stating that [[Dark Pit]]'s power of flight lasts far longer than Palutena's. Her hatred for Palutena is so strong that it allowed Hades to revive her, albeit weaker than she was previously. | ||
Medusa is also significantly much more serious compared to the other gods as she rarely ever jokes or breaks the fourth wall. She does however, seem to possess a barbed and twisted sense of humor, as she begins to laugh upon Dark Pit's attempts to destroy Pit. She doesn't appear to view her minions too highly either, as she expresses little to no remorse over the defeat of [[Twinbellows]], [[Thanatos]], and [[Pandora]]. | Medusa is also significantly much more serious compared to the other gods as she rarely ever jokes or breaks the fourth wall.

During the beginning of [[The Return of Palutena|Chapter 1]], Medusa appears as an astral projection in the sky and greets Pit and Palutena by taunting them both. She reappears after Pit defeats [[Twinbellows]], but only laughs at Pit's threat before retreating. Medusa later appears in [[Dark Pit (chapter)|Chapter 6]], where she offers [[Dark Pit]] some help to defeat Pit, but he refuses the offer and desires no involvement with the [[Underworld Army]] whatsoever. The goddess of darkness doesn't appear to be too bothered, but rather amused as she watches the doppelgänger angel attempt to destroy his lighter twin. | During the beginning of [[The Return of Palutena|Chapter 1]], Medusa appears as an astral projection in the sky and greets Pit and Palutena by taunting them both.

Medusa makes her second to last appearance in [[Medusa's Final Battle|Chapter 9]], where she finally faces against her arch-nemesis. She greets the angel again via astral projection when he arrives in front of her castle. After mocking Pit, Medusa summons the [[Underworld Gatekeeper]] as a last line of defense, which is destroyed by Dark Pit. As Pit infiltrates deeper inside the castle, Medusa's anger begins to show as she accuses Palutena of being the evil one. However, Pit is quick to defend his goddess and blames Medusa for her own punishment while managing to question why she was revived in the first place. Medusa states that she does not remember and it doesn't matter because she is most importantly here to exact her revenge.
