Medusa (IKIR)

Medusa (メデューサ, Medyūsa), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the Super Kingdom Bros.'s Immortals Kid Icarus Rising series created by Scott Phillips and Toru Osawa. She is the Goddess of Darkness, and former co-ruler of Angel Land.
She, as a parallel to her younger sister, is an evil goddess and was one of Typhon's most powerful minions in his army until she turned on him and redeemed herself because Typhon was using her to be his "puppet" as much as the other gods in Typhon's army.
"What better way to celebrate my return than with a festive little bloodbath? After all, I have been gone for 25 years."
:—Medusa.

===Biography===
Medusa is the goddess of darkness, a member of Typhon's Underworld Army and the one-time Queen of the Underworld. Although she was defeated and exiled by Palutena long ago in the past, Typhon has secretly found and made her serve him to fight again far more powerful than before. Twenty-five years ago, Medusa and the other human hating gods sets out to take revenge, while fu-filling Typhon's plan to conquer the three worlds completely.
The only comfort throughout Medusa's quarter century in exile was the thought of bloody retribution against those who wronged her. Now, facing both the angel and the child of Zeus after all these years, Medusa's wrath is only matched by her fervor and a core of pure hatred for her sister, Palutena. Those slithering snakes on her head are really unpleasant. That's got to be the worst hair day ever.
===Appearance===
Medusa is a humanoid woman with purple-gray skin, lavender eyes, scaly arms, and a black tattoo over her left eye. Her long, black hair has several teal snakes mixed in, with a single orange snake on the left side of her head. She wears a long, dark purple dress that blends into red at the bottom, with gold trimmings throughout and gold ornaments that match her sister's dress.
She wields a two-pronged gold and blue staff with two snakes wrapped around it.

==Background==
==Personality==
While Palutena is shown to be warm and kind, Medusa serves as a stark contrast to the Goddess of Light, being much more cold and sinister. She delights in the suffering of her enemies and shows little regard for the lives of others.
Although she despises humanity, this contempt is only rivaled by her hatred for those like Palutena and Zeus. She thirsts for revenge against anyone she perceives to have wronged her, and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

====Early history====
At some point many years ago, Medusa and Palutena ruled Angel Land together in peace. While Palutena fostered the growth of humanity, Medusa hated their kind, causing her to dry their crops and petrify people. In a fit of anger, Palutena punished her sister and banished her to the Underworld.
25 years later prior to the events of the series, she sided with Typhon for an unknown amount of time, working as one of the front faces for the army Typhon has forged in the Underworld. Since then, Medusa vowed herself to overthrow Palutena and retake her position in the Palace in the Sky.
