== Charactah Account ==
Palutena, also known as "Lady Palutena," is the Goddess of Light, rightful ruler of Angel Land and patron deity of and older-sister figure to Pit. She is kind-hearted and benevolent, as opposed to the cruel and malevolent Medusa. Despite being a divine goddess, Palutena also seems to be somewhat of a damsel-in-distress, as she was kidnapped and held captive by Medusa and needed to be rescued.
Despite her mature appearance, she has been shown to have a very playful and mischievous side. Palutena often teases Pit, and even purposely puts him into dangerous situations in order to complete missions. She also has a habit of saying common phrases incorrectly and using complex vocabulary that confuses Pit. With the advent of Kid Icarus: Uprising, it is revealed that Palutena is rather light-hearted and a little playful. She gets along swimmingly with Pit and banters with him multiple times throughout the adventure.

== Trivia ==
* Palutena is likely based off of the Greek goddess Athena . Her staff and shield are a staple of Athena's classical appearance, and in Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess responsible for transforming Medusa into a monster, just as Palutena had done to Medusa prior to the events of the original Kid Icarus.
* Palutena appears to have a knack for mixing up phrases and names. For example, she refers to "Super Smash Brothers" as "Super Bash Sisters," and instead of "Every rose has its thorn," she says "Every coral has its thorns." Whenever Pit corrects her, she always insists she's right.
* Though there is no track named as her theme, Masahiro Sakurai considers the main theme to be her theme.
* Despite her young appearance, she is sensitive when it comes to her age and strongly dislikes being called "ma'am."
* Similarly to Pit, food never seems to be far from Palutena's mind, and she proves to have an eccentric love of exotic cuisine.
