Palutena as she appears in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Palutena (パルテナ Parutena) is the Goddess of Light, rightful ruler of Angel Land, and patron deity of Pit. She is kindhearted and benevolent, as opposed to the cruel and malevolent Medusa. Despite being a divine goddess, Palutena also seems to be somewhat of a damsel-in-distress, as she was kidnapped and held captive by Medusa, and needed Pit to rescue her.

When Medusa took over Skyworld and banished Palutena, Pit gathered the Three Sacred Treasures to defeat Medusa.
