'''Palutena''' (パルテナ ''Parutena'') is the goddess of light, rightful ruler of [[Skyworld]], and the patron deity of [[Pit]] and the [[Centurion|Centurions]]. She is kindhearted and benevolent, as opposed to the cruel and malevolent [[Medusa]].

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 imprisoned and held captive by Medusa and needed to be rescued, but recently she has been given a much more active role as a major supporting character and Pit's greatest ally. | ||

Palutena is generally a very kind and wise character. She is shown to care much about the human race | Palutena is generally a very kind and wise character. She is shown to care much about the human race and will go to great lengths keep them safe from harm. She was willing to banish her own co-ruler, Medusa, in order to stop the goddess of darkness from pursuing the mortals. Although she may be the guardian of the humans, it is important to note that Palutena does not view them as flawless beings, and views them as quite selfish and destructive; however, she also believes the deities are no better than humans when it comes to egoistic desires (or in some cases she believes gods can be far worse). Ironically, this might be why she firmly believes humans are the closest to the gods and sees them worth protecting. | ||
One very notable trait of the goddess of light is her outstanding wisdom, as she is one of the most knowledgable within the pantheon. Palutena uses her vast proficiency to let Pit know enemies' weak points, and give other useful information and tips to him. She is also quite sharp and not easily fooled. The goddess is typically the first to notice any subtle changes that occur, including contradictions and inconsistencies in anyone's statements or situations. Other characters have commented on her as being very smart or a "know-it-all". | |||
Palutena has a very close relationship with Pit and shares a very strong bond with him, with which he returns with undying loyalty. Despite her mature appearance, she has been shown to have a very playful and mischievous side. Palutena often teases Pit, and even purposely puts him into dangerous situations in order to complete missions. She has a habit of saying certain phrases incorrectly, such as in one of the tutorial videos for ''Uprising'' she erroneously calls ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' as "Super Bash Sisters". The goddess also has a knack for using large, complex vocabulary that confuses Pit. Similar to her angel, she appears to have a large appetite as she talks about how delicious octopus is during the [[Space Kraken]] fight, and omelettes later in [[Chapter 10]] when mentioning [[Phoenix]] eggs. Despite her young looks, she is sensitive when it comes to the topic regarding her age and strongly dislikes being called “ma’am”. | |||

As the goddess of light, she has great power over the element, and is capable of performing potent magical abilities utilizing light. One of her most powerful attacks is called the “Glam Blaster”/”Sacred Goddess Clobberlaser”, which involves a giant beam of vaporizing light that can disintegrate enemies. She is also the one who supplies Pit his [[Power of Flight]] and all his other [[Powers|powers]]. Like most deities, she is quite omnipotent (even stating to have an all-seeing “Eye of Palutena”). For example, in [[Chapter 2]], she demonstrates her godly insight regarding [[Magnus]]' past that he used to be a father and was friends with [[Gaol]] despite him never mentioning this at any point. 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 ninjary”, “power of caging”, and “power of maelstrom". | As the goddess of light, she has great power over the element, and is capable of performing potent magical abilities utilizing light.
