Palutena

==Summary==
Palutena is the wise and benevolent Goddess of Light and the protector of the Human World. In the first game, Palutena was captured by Medusa, Goddess of Darkness and the ruler of the Underworld, but was freed thanks to the efforts of a young, brave flightless angel named Pit, whom she soon named the Captain of the Guard. By the time of Kid Icarus: Uprising, she has become much more proactive in her role as the defender of humanity, bestowing Pit with numerous powers and weapons and guiding him to victory against the neverending series of threats to the peace of Angel Land.

Intelligence: As the Goddess of Light and Protector of Humanity, she has watched over the Human World for an indeterminate amount of time and is generally considered very wise and knowledgeable. She has access to all of the Powers in Pit's arsenal and can use them at will while Pit himself is limited to a handful at a time. In addition, she has held her own against the likes of Pit on one occasion and has a tendency to plan out most of his battles by directing him throughout his adventures. She is also a capable strategist, leading her military forces (albeit, which consist mostly of Pit) to victory on countless occasions and repeatedly analyzing her foes' abilities, strengths, and weaknesses to find openings. Like Pit, she also has knowledge of Nintendo's other properties and the fourth wall, mentioning them off-handedly on numerous occasions and giving Pit counsel and advice when he does battle at her temple.
Weaknesses: Palutena is sometimes too playful and teasing for her own good, Can be taken by surprise (was defeated by Medusa's surprise attack the first time around) and is prone to becoming a damsel in distress due to her own actions; for example, being captured by Medusa and then later being victim of the Chaos Kin she indirectly freed.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
*Palutena Glam Blaster: A fierce attack Palutena uses to finish the Three-Headed Hewdraw if Pit doesn't finish the last head quickly enough, killing it in one shot.
*Cover Your Eyes!: Palutena raises her shield and charges her light power, then unleashes it blinds her target with light, if in range. This lasts for about three seconds.
*Time for a Sacrifice!:Palutena shoots a large, slow-moving ball of teal light that hones in on her target. Palutena can shoot up to three in quick succession.
*Kneel Before Me!: Palutena waves her staff and shoots three fast-moving columns of light across the stage.

*This Might Sting!: When her target is nearby, Palutena raises her staff and zooms forward in a huge column of light, blazing toward her target at great speed, covering a great distance in an instant.
