Viridi: Difference between revisions

|affiliations= [[Forces of Nature]], [[Pit]]

As the goddess of nature, she has a deep affection for plants and wildlife and has a very eco-friendly attitude, claiming that she uses cloth shopping bags, composts her food scraps and separates her recycling into 15 types. This love of nature also extends to her troops. Viridi is shown to be very protective of her forces when compared to the likes of the uncaring [[Hades]], and often refers to them as her "children".

Viridi behaves every bit like the eight year old she resembles. She is childish and argumentive, easy to provoke due to her short temper. As a result of [[Pit]] getting in the way of her plans, she often argues with him in a childish manner while sending her Forces of Nature to attack him. Viridi is also noted to be somewhat of a hypocrite. As noted by both Pit and Palutena, Viridi has legitimate grievances against humans for their destruction of nature, but fails to take into account that her actions are far more destructive. Whenever Palutena confronts her with this, Viridi counters by bringing up her conflict with the Underworld Army.

However, during the [[Aurum]] invasion, she slowly develops a change of heart and eventually becomes one of Pit's most important allies. Despite this, Viridi typically gets annoyed with the angel on a regular basis, and often questions his actions and interests (especially concerning [[Hot Springs]]). Even so, she is shown to care about his well-being, sending him back-up when he needs it, and initially refusing to grant him the Power of Flight to save [[Dark Pit]], worried that his wings will catch fire. Also, some of her random conversations with Pit about his weapons show that the two are quite capable of getting along. Through her interactions with Pit, Viridi also begins to show a softer side to her as shown in [[Chapter 19]] where Viridi actually comforts Pit after he defeats the [[Chariot Master]], calling the slain warrior an "honorable warrior" whose death Pit should not be left in vain. However, despite warming up to Pit, it's not clear whether her thoughts on humans have changed.  

Viridi, like most ''Kid Icarus'' characters, is shown to be quite knowledgeable regarding ''Nintendo'' games. Like most characters, Viridi routinely breaks the fourth wall on multiple occasions, but gets strangely flustered whenever Pit does it, telling him to be quiet as others can hear him and that they are not supposed to speak of such ththings. In [[Chapter 21]], she also gets mad when Pit compares the [[Komayto]]s to the Metroids from the titular series, stating that the two game universes have nothing to do with each other and that he should not spread rumors. This trait of hers also extends to ''Smash 4'' during Palutena's Guidance where she displays her knowledge on the various fighters and gleefully calls out the names of Mega Man's various weapons alongside Pit and Palutena.

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.  

 

As Viridi is never fought in-game, her combat prowess, if any, is largely unknown. But she is implied to be just as powerful as the other gods, having defeated and imprisoned the [[Chaos Kin]], a being whose power is said to rival that of the gods, prior to the events of the game.

She also appears in the Wii U version as a stage character in [[Palutena's Temple]] when Pit activates his [[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]], where she will talk about the other fighters. Specifically in [[Dark Pit]]'s, she will mention that she is still enemies with Pit and Palutena, despite them being allies previously to defeat the [[Chaos Kin]] and [[Hades]]. She especially seems to hold a strong grudge against Pit.
