Pandora was originally depicted as an amorphous, soap-bubble-like spirit with only the barest remnants of a face. Her eyes do not contain any irises and there seems to be no substance behind her ghostly facade.

In her humanoid "Amazon Pandora" form, she appears as an attractive woman with long blue hair that form multiple ponytails with a gold ring at the top which was also present in her gaseous form. She wears revealing clothes which exposes her knees and thighs on the bottom. Her whole outfit is one suit which takes on the color of grey and purple, giving the old Pandora's chromatic scheme as well. | ||

Pandora appears as one of the generals of the Underworld Army, where she has in her possession the [[Mirror of Truth]], which can create duplicates of anyone who stares into it including monsters, thus aiding in increasing the number of troops in the army. In [[Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit|Chapter 5]], [[Palutena]] sends out [[Pit]] to her secret lair which lies in a pocket of space. The base is a complex labyrinth of illusions and lies which proves to be quite difficult to traverse, filled with all manner of both dangerous and ridiculous obstacles that continue to change. Pit finally reaches her room where she is keeping the Mirror of Truth and challenges her to battle. She retains the ability to suddenly vanish then reappear to attack Pit, but also gains an inhaling ability and several fire based moves. Soon enough Pit knocks her down long enough to break the mirror, however this was the plan all along, as the minute Pit approached the mirror a duplicate had already been created from the dark half of his soul, [[Dark Pit]]. Luckily the dark angel refuses to take orders from Pandora and both he and Pit take her down easily. However the dark angel soon goes rogue and steals her powers, gaining his own version of the "gift of flight" and flies off. | Pandora appears as one of the generals of the Underworld Army, where she has in her possession the [[Mirror of Truth]], which can create duplicates of anyone who stares into it including monsters, thus aiding in increasing the number of troops in the army.

She suddenly pops out of [[Dark Pit]]'s wings and exploits the [[Rewind Spring]] to come back to life. She then starts attacking Dark Pit for revenge after being betrayed and exploiting her powers for flight. After she is "defeated" for the first time, she jumps into the Rewind Spring again and her appearance is changed into Amazon Pandora, her humanoid figure from long ago. After everyone is surprised by the change of events, she then starts attacking Dark Pit again for the second time. Amazon Pandora primarily attacks with heart projectiles and bombs, with the former paralyzing Dark Pit if hit. Pandora will also constantly teleport through out the match, making it harder to hit her. She also sets up many traps around the battlefield to cripple the dark angel, including several [[Treasure Box#Pandora Box|Pandora's Boxes]] and [[Capture Circle]]s. At one point, she will pretend to have been defeated and then release an spread shot of hearts. She may also use her sword for melee attacks if the player comes too close. Dark Pit eventually defeats Amazon Pandora once and for all, but also loses his ability of flight by doing so. | ||
