She has an overall very elegant and regal appearance fitting her title as the goddess of light. Her main outfit is a relatively Greek-styled white dress with a chiton-like cloth over it held by her golden necklace that acts like a fibula/brooch, heart-like patterns and a red trim at the top, golden vambraces, sandal-like heels with a tall one on her left leg and a long white sock, numerous gold ornaments to accommodate it, along with a split to her thigh on the right side held by a red fibula. Interestingly, many of Palutena's design choices has parallels to [[Pit]]'s, such as the gold laurel crown, red [[wikipedia:fibula (brooch)|fibula]], the vine-like patterns on the hems of her dress, brown-colored, sandal-like footwear, and the various gold accessories. She is typically depicted wielding her weapons of choice which is the gold staff with a blue handle and a mirror shield. | ||
In ''[[Kid Icarus (game)|Kid Icarus]]'', she wears a blue and yellow dress with a blue and gold tiara, a red necklace, and gold shoes. In-game, it is shown to be red and white. | In ''[[Kid Icarus (game)|Kid Icarus]]'', she wears a blue and yellow dress with a blue and gold tiara, a red necklace, and gold shoes.

Despite her playful personality, Palutena proves to be a powerful goddess. As the | Despite her kind, and playful personality as well as her tendency to be the damsel in distress, Palutena proves to be a very powerful goddess. As the Goddess of Light, she has immense power over the element, and is capable of performing potent magical abilities utilizing light, such as homing energy blasts, creating light halo drones that follow her target and shoot light shots, columns of light, firing a massive light blast from her halo, surrounding herself in a pillar of light and charging at foes, and a bright flash of light used by her Mirror Shield to blind opponents. One of her most powerful attacks is called the "Glam Blaster" / "Sacred Goddess Clobberlaser"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OznwbkyjuGk - Palutena's Glam Blaster]</ref>, which involves a giant beam of vaporizing light that can disintegrate and one-shot enemies as powerful as the Hewdraw. Using her divine light magic, she is also able to charge and power the Great Sacred Treasure's cannon so that it could fire an absolutely massive laser to destroy Hades' physical form forever. She is also the one who supplies Pit his [[Power of Flight]] and all of his other [[Powers|powers]]. Unlike him however, she can use these powers as much as she wants with no limits. In ''Smash Smash Bros. 4'', Palutena is capable of using these powers in combat herself and in the game she demonstrates great proficiency in melee combat with her staff and shield. During battle, she uses levitation as a key method of getting around. She has the power to summon her army of Centurions, Centurion Knights, Centurion Strongarms and Juggernauts at will and should they fall in battle she can revive them as much as she wants. She can do the same to Pit too. She possesses the power to create immensely powerful forcefields which she uses to protect her temple. She is able to control the size of this forcefield at will and only something as powerful as the Lightning Chariot is able to break through it. | ||
Like most deities, she possesses some degree of omniscience (even claiming to have an all-seeing "Eye of Palutena"). For example, in [[Magnus and the Dark Lord|Chapter 2]] of ''Uprising'', she demonstrates her godly insight regarding [[Magnus]]'s past that he lost a child in the war and was close friends with [[Gaol]] despite him never mentioning this at any point. Palutena's vast knowledge allows her to know names and weaknesses of almost every enemy in the series. | Like most deities, she possesses some degree of omniscience (even claiming to have an all-seeing "Eye of Palutena").

Palutena has typical abilities shared by other gods such as telepathic communication and summoning large projections of herself. Some other powers of Palutena mentioned in ''Uprising'' and the [[Kid Icarus 3D Anime|anime shorts]] include the "power of cooling", "power of weak-point exposure", "power of ninjary", "power of caging", and "power of maelstrom".

During one of the anime shorts, she also demonstrates the power to walk on water.The [[Palutena Bow]], Palutena Blade and [[Silver Bow]] are three weapons that are explicitly stated to be created by the goddess of light herself, indicating Palutena has some prowess over weapon crafting. The Goddess of Light is also capable of incredibly powerful telekinesis as shown in [[The Ring of Chaos|Chapter 18]] where she tosses large islands and cities of Skyworld itself at Pit. During the boss fight against Medusa in Uprising, she is able to counteract Medusa's telekinetic attempts to send Pit away from her with her own telekinesis. She also chains Medusa's legs to the ground with her magic which nullified her ability to teleport. .She has the ability to put curses and banish others, as she was the one who cursed Medusa with her monstrous form and banished her to the Underworld as punishment. She can also turn Pit into a Specknose or a full-grown angel should he get the bad or good endings respectively in the original Kid Icarus. Along with the Power of Maelstrom, she also has other weather magic at her disposal such as creating powerful side winds to blow her enemies away or opening a path through a wall of storm clouds. She can create gate-like portals to transport herself and others. She also has the power warp/beam up people and objects to different locations at will. | ||
