Phosphora, known in Japan as Ereka (エレカ Ereka), is a new character introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. She is a beautiful yet powerful warrior that specializes in electricity-based attacks and can move as fast as lightning. Phosphora is one of Viridi's top commanders due to her incredible power and speed, which allows her to create massive storms and tornadoes. She is the also the boss of Chapter 14: Lightning Battle.
Characteristics
Appearance
Phosphora is an adolescent commander of Viridi's army, resembling a 16 to 17 year old human girl[1] with blond crescent-shaped hair with red-colored tips, and purple eyes. She wears rather revealing clothing which consists of a pair of white shorts and a small black top covered with two white sashes. She also wears purple boots and arm covers which are covered in black bandages and she has a vine plant around her leg which goes up her shorts and around her body and ends at her arms which give them the appearance of bracelets.
Personality
She behaves much like how she looks, having many characteristics of a stuck-up teenage girl. She can be quite rude to her opponents, often pointing out their flaws and mocking them for it, such as Pit's height and Palutena's age. She can also be quite lazy, often passing off comments or events that don't concern her and handling almost everything with a nonchalant attitude. She also has somewhat flirtatious nature, having flirted with Pit on several occasions. Despite these odd quirks, she is a fierce fighter and shows great ferocity in battle.
Abilities
As a lightning based warrior, Phosphora relies on electrical powers to perform many of her attacks. She mainly attacks from a distance, pelting opponents with bolts of electricity in many colors. Her strongest attacks are punching the ground and creating a large blast of electricity, as well as charging at her opponents. She can even summon storms and twisters to attack her foes.
Phosphora also possesses levitation capability, allowing her to travel across the air at great speed, usually by transforming into a bolt of lightning. Phosphora is also capable of teleoprtation. However, Phosphora is lacking in stamina and tires quickly so she must recharge frequently, especially after a frantic battle. Phosphora also seems to possess some degree of technological expertise as according to the Idol description of the Electro Trap, she developed an earlier model in the Thunder Cloud Temple.
In Kid Icarus: Uprising
In Chapter 14, she defeats Thanatos, the commander of Hades' army, and retreats to an abandoned refuge base called the Thunder Cloud Temple to rest. However Pit breaks through the temples' defenses and defeats her in the boss battle of the chapter. Later in Palutena's Temple, she retrieves the Lightning Chariot when the rider (Pit and then later Dark Pit) falls off from it. It is never stated how she or Dark Pit retrieves the Lightning Chariot or where she goes after Chapter 20.
Idol Description
"A beautiful and powerful electricity-based warrior in the Forces of Nature. While victorious in her battle with Thanatos, the wounds Phosphora receives make her weak in the fight with Pit that follows."
Trivia
- Phosphora is named after a chemical element called phosphorus, which comes from a Greek word meaning "bearer of light" which suits Phosphora's association with lightning.
- Judging from Phosphora's Japanese name, Ereka, she may be based off Electra who was a nymph (a female nature spirit from Greek mythology) and one of the seven Pleiades.
- This could also possibly mean Phosphora is a nymph herself.
- The vine around her body may be a symbol of her affiliation with the Forces of Nature.
