She behaves much like how she looks, having many characteristics of a stuck-up teenage girl. She can be quite rude to her opponents, as she once mocked [[Palutena]]'s old 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. According to Viridi, Phosphora is "free-spirited" and "isn't one to put down roots", likely meaning she is nomadic and goes wherever she pleases. | She behaves much like how she looks, having many characteristics of a stuck-up teenage girl.

Similar to [[Arlon]], Phosphora's view on [[human]]s is never explicitly stated, but as she is fiercely loyal to Viridi, it is likely she also hates humanity or does not care for them at all. | |||

Phosphora first appears in [[Lightning Battle|Chapter 14]], where she is shown fighting the revived-[[Thanatos]], but manages to quickly defeat him in mid-air. After, she retreats to an abandoned refuge base called the [[Thunder Cloud Temple]] to regain her strength. However, Pit breaks through the temples's defenses and defeats her in the boss battle of the chapter. She is revived by Viridi at some point later, and makes another minor appearance in [[Chapter 20]], where she retrieves the [[Lightning Chariot]] when the rider (Pit and then later [[Dark Pit]]) falls off from it. | |||
