Palutena
From The Codex
“ | And as the goddess of light, it's my duty to protect humanity from her | „ |
~ Palutena |
Background
Palutena, also known as "Lady Palutena," is the Goddess of Light, rightful ruler of Angel Land, and patron deity to Pit. She is kindhearted, benevolent, and cares deeply for the human race, as opposed to the cruel and malevolent Medusa,who despises humanity and wishes only for its destruction. It was for this reason that Palutena banished the Goddess of Darkness to the Underworld as punishment her for her evil deeds.
After Medusa was banished, she began an attack on Skyworld as revenge for what Palutena did, leading to the events of the original Kid Icarus agme. Despite this, Palutena managed to telepathically contact Pit and help him escape the Underworld. After Pit's escape, successful acquisition of the Three Sacred Treasures, and the defeat of Medusa, peace returned to Skyworld.
Later, Palutena had a vision of an unknown race, known as the Orcos, invading and bringing chaos to Skyworld. She tasks Pit once again to acquire the Three Scared Treasures and defeat the Orcos.
25 years later, Medusa is mysteriously resurrected and begins an attack on the surface world. Despite her eventual defeat, it is revealed to everyone who was behind all of the Underworld attacks, which lead to a massive scale war that later involved the Goddess of Nature's forces , an alien race known as the Aurum, and the Chaos Kin.
After the war's end and victory over the Underworld, Viridi and Palutena begin fighting once again over the existence of humans and whether they deserve the right to live. Despite this, they seem to have an alliance.

Standard Equipment: Gold Staff and Mirror Shield
Intelligence: At least Extraordinary Genius, likely Supergenius (Is described as incredibly wise by other gods and has shown great knowledge of her verse from the enemies Pit fights to the history behind areas and characters. She has even shown great knowledge on universes that aren't even part of the main Kid Icarus series such as The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. along with their characters and lore. Palutena shows a great understanding in cosmology and the space-time continuum to the point she's made powers capable of warping space and time to access entirely separate temporal planes)
Weaknesses: Despite being an intelligent being with centuries of experience, she's oftentimes not taking the situation very seriously and acts very light-hearted in character. Rarely does Palutena directly fight herself and uses a lot of defensive measures before facing her foe head on
Note: Due to Sakurai being the prime developer for both Kid Icarus Uprising and Super Smash Bros., we can take Pit and co's abilities and dialogue as a secondary canon for Kid Icarus's lore since Palutena's guidance stays relative to Kid Icarus's story and even further fleshed it out.
Note 2: Saving and loading in Kid Icarus can be active once characters get a game over, or wish to return to prior points in the timeline. Saving has been mentioned by several major characters. If the game ends for the current playable character, they can simply come back. A "game over" doesn't only stop at a death. A game over can also be the characters making the wrong choices, getting trapped in a separate universe, possessed, and incapacitation (such as falling forever in an endless void or left completely helpless). This ability can be used passively and across multiple incarnations of the characters. Do also note that a player canonically exists, so saving and loading is not a stretch.
Note 3: Palutena notes in her smash reveal trailer that anything an angel can do, a goddess can do better. This is further proven by her being responsible for most of Pit's powers and abilities and regularly granting him new and unique powers.
