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.
Appearances
Kid Icarus
When Medusa took over Skyworld and banished Palutena, Pit gathered the Three Sacred Treasures to defeat Medusa.
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
Here, Palutena charges Pit with the quest to recover the Three Sacred Treasures and prepare for the coming of Orcos.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Palutena appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in The Subspace Emissary, the game's extensive Adventure Mode, where she gives Pit a new Bow in order to fight the Subspace Army, having the honor of being the only non-playable ally character in the story. She also appears in Pit's Final Smash, Palutena's Army, where she summons Centurions to attack Pit's enemies. She's even featured as an unlockable trophy, only given once the player has completed "Cleaning house in Skyworld". Palutena appears to look older in Brawl than in Uprising.
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Palutena entrusts Pit with a magical bow and the Power of Flight (that helps the Angel fly for five minutes). Little is currently known about her place in the story. Palutena talks to Pit while he's fighting, flying, etc. She also describes the controls to the players through out the game.
