A major character in the Kid Icarus series. The Goddess of Light, rightful ruler of Angel Land, and patron deity to Pit. She is kindhearted, benevolent and cheerful, as opposed to the cruel, malevolent and cynic Medusa.
Palutena serves as the leader of her army, and while she never physically aids Pit on the battlefield, she does everything in her power to support her servant from the sidelines. However, although she is demure and calm, she has a trollish side to her, constantly pulling pranks on Pit or putting him through minorly dangerous situations; nevertheless, she does care for him, to motherly levels. However, she's less lenient at punishing evil than her servant Pit, hinting to a dark side of her.

Her dress has a slit on her left side, and wears a single, white thighhigh to cover her left leg.
