As a goddess, Viridi is immortal and possesses unimaginable power over nature. She can manipulate plant life and create countless new lifeforms out of natural materials to fight for her. She can also create weapons out of plant life, such as her most powerful weapon, the [[Reset Bomb]] which can easily annihilate anything in its path like a meteor and grow forests wherever it lands. She can also use some of the spells known by Palutena such as the [[Power of Flight]] and use it on Pit or the ability to teleport Pit out of dangerous situations. According to Phosphora, Viridi is also capable of reading fortunes, which could also mean she may have the ability to predict the future. In Chapter 19, Viridi showcases the ability to create hot springs. Like all the other gods she can communicate telepathically with others to relay information and astral project herself as a giant figure. | As a goddess, Viridi is immortal and possesses unimaginable power over nature.

Viridi first appears during her eponymous chapter | Viridi first appears during her [[Chapter 11|eponymous chapter]] after Pit's defeats the [[Phoenix]], where she suddenly projects an image of herself in the sky and wipes out multiple armies of humans with a [[Reset Bomb]], all the while laughing wickedly and declaring humanity as "scum". Soon after, a twisted forest of thorns arise from the destroyed area and Palutena orders Pit to explore it in case any humans survived. Throughout their trek in the forest, they encounter Viridi's army, the Forces of Nature. Meanwhile, Palutena tries to reason with Viridi to no avail, as her beliefs are deeply cemented that humans are evil beings who mistreat and take advantage of nature. Seeing no other choice, Pit heads to the forest's center where he comes face to face with its stone guardian, [[Cragalanche]]. Despite it being a tough battle, Pit comes out victorious, but Viridi remains calm and mockingly asks the angel on where she should dispatch her next Reset Bomb. | ||
In [[Wrath of the Reset Bomb|Chapter 12]], Pit and Palutena witness Viridi's army in conflict with [[Hades]]'s and they hear Viridi's protests about the [[Underworld Army]] being worse than humans. Viridi then launches another Reset Bomb at a nearby town full of humans and Pit quickly takes action to defuse the bomb and luckily succeeds. Pit then discovers Viridi's [[Reset Bomb Depot]], where she creates all her Reset Bombs and he heads in to shut it down. Viridi continues to send out countless soldiers to defeat Pit but to no avail and he soon makes it to the Depot's core where the [[Reset Bomb Pod|pod]] that grows the Reset Bombs lies. Pit then makes quick work of it and the [[Forces of Nature Guard|guards]], causing the Depot to explode and fall apart. A furious Viridi then appears and tells Pit that he's made it on her "to-kill list". | In [[Wrath of the Reset Bomb|Chapter 12]], Pit and Palutena witness Viridi's army in conflict with [[Hades]]'s and they hear Viridi's protests about the [[Underworld Army]] being worse than humans.

With Pit's wings burnt up, Viridi joins Palutena and Dark Pit's journey to the [[Rewind Spring]] to revive Pit in [[Chapter 22]].

Viridi joins Pit's final battle with Hades in [[Chapter 25]], where she first simply observes the fight, but later provides the angel with the Power of Flight when the [[Great Sacred Treasure]] is destroyed. After the Underworld god is vanquished, she comments how humans are still a problem, showing her views on humanity have not completely changed. | Viridi joins Pit's final battle with Hades in [[Chapter 25]], where she first simply observes the fight, but later provides the angel with the Power of Flight when the [[Great Sacred Treasure]] is destroyed.

*Viridi could be based on any number of Greek goddesses of nature, although her name comes from the word ''viridis'', which is Latin for "green" and/or "youthful", which fits her character quite well. | *Viridi could be based on any number of Greek goddesses of nature, although her name comes from the word ''viridis'', which is Latin for "green" and/or "youthful", which fits her character quite well. Given that she calls her soldiers her "children" and that her Japanese name is loosely translated as "Nachure", she may be based on Mother Nature, the personification of nature itself. Her English name could also be based on "Viridian", a shade of green. | ||
