Palutena is generally a very kind and wise character (at least compared to most gods). She is shown to care 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 attacking and killing 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, in actuality, she views them as quite selfish and destructive. However, she believes the gods are no better than humans when it comes to fulfilling egoistic desires or ideals, or in some cases, she believes gods can be far worse. Palutena also appears to be the only god to realize and admit to this when [[Dark Pit]] points it out. Ironically, this might be why she firmly believes humans are the closest to the gods and sees them worth protecting. | Palutena is generally a very kind and wise character (at least compared to most gods).

Palutena is also noticeably more merciful compared to the other gods, as she would try to peacefully reason with her enemies first than use outright violence. She gave Medusa a final chance to retreat her army from the Overworld, and when [[Viridi]] started to attack humanity, Palutena attempted to persuade her out of it. She also tried to convince [[Arlon]] to joining her side to work together against the [[Underworld Army]]. | Palutena is also noticeably more merciful compared to the other gods, as she would try to peacefully reason with her enemies first than use outright violence.

The goddess has a minor quirky side, as she has a habit of mixing up common phrases, 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 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”. | The goddess has a minor quirky side, as she has a habit of mixing up common phrases, such as in one of the tutorial videos for ''Uprising'' she erroneously calls ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros.
