Palutena

Lady Palutena (パルテナ, Parutena), is both a fictional character and tritagonist of the SKB's Immortals Kid Icarus Rising series created by Scott Phillips and Toru Osawa. She is the Goddess of Light, rightful ruler of her domain, and the patron deity to Pit.

She is kindhearted and benevolent, as opposed to her cruel and malevolent older sister. She serves as the leader of her army, and while she never physically aids Pit or Fenyx on the battlefield, she does everything in her power to support from the sidelines.

"And as the goddess of light, it's my duty to protect humanity from those who threaten to destroy or hoard to abuse for their own evil purposes."
 * —Lady Palutena.

Biography
The Goddess of Light and ruling goddess of Skyworld, the Angel Land. Palutena showered the earth with rays of light, using her powers for the good of mankind. Despite her reputation for wisdom and mercy, little is known about the history and motivations behind this goddess. She used to be the highest of the gods in Skyworld. But Typhon, who in hatred for the gods was banished to the underworld, makes war on them and wins, the source of their power, the Three Sacred Treasures, were stolen away from her by Medusa, who in her hate for mankind.

The very soul of the goddess herself, was captured and held prisoner deep within a temple within Tartaros, while her body is bind to Typhon's Chaos Kin and its will, manipulating her form like a foul puppet. By doing so, the Chaos Kin simultaneously shields itself and forces saviors to attack Palutena's body form. What she lacks in military might, she makes up for in her brave champions. She guides Pit and Fenyx through their journey, using her powers to help them protect the humans of the surface world from Typhon, and his army.

Palutena also entrusts Pit with a sacred bow and the task of defeating her arch-nemesis, Medusa, goddess of the Underworld.

Appearance
Palutena has the appearance of a 22-year-old human woman, with long green hair that reaches down to her lower legs. She stands in an overall elegant and regal appearance, fitting her title as the Goddess of Light. Her outfit consists of a layered, white dress, along with numerous gold accessories in the form of a necklace, laurel crown, fibula, arm bands, arm brace, armored sleeve, and ornaments secured by belts. She wields a gold staff with a blue handle in her right hand, and sports a mirror shield attached to her left arm by a leather band.

She is often depicted with her army's symbol hovering behind her head, most prominently shown when she physically uses it to attack opponents. Interestingly, many aspects of Palutena's design parallel Pit's, including the gold laurel crown, golden fibula with a red jewel in the center, vine-like patterns on the hem of her dress, brown-colored footwear, and various gold accessories.

Personality
Palutena's personality is not explored much, although the general description is that she's a "pure-hearted and kind" goddess who puts her people before her own welfare. Depicted as kind and wise, she is shown to care much about the human race and her personal army, and will go to great lengths keep them safe from harm. Despite her mature appearance, she has been shown to possess a playful and mischievous side. Palutena often teases Pit and Fenyx, and even purposely places them in dangerous situations in order to complete his missions.

She also has a habit of saying common phrases incorrectly and using complex vocabulary that confuses those like her brother. Despite this, she gets along swimmingly with their champion and the angel and banters with them throughout their adventure. She is shown to be intelligent and knowledgeable, as she helps Pit identify weak points for his foes, and gives him hints for overcoming obstacles. In fact, her information is so useful to Pit that Hades sometimes calls her "Professor Palutena" or "Ms. Know-It-All Palutena".
