Palutena (a derivative of ''[[wikipedia:Athena#Pallas Athena|Pallas Athena]]'', the Greek goddess of wisdom and justice) is the Goddess of Light from {{s|icaruspedia|Skyworld}}. Not much was known about Palutena's personality in the first two ''Kid Icarus'' games, aside from her wisdom and kindness. She is shown to wield a magical staff and a mirror-like shield. In the plot of the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', she is the ruler of {{s|icaruspedia|Angel Land}} along with the Goddess of Darkness, {{s|icaruspedia|Medusa}}. After she punishes Medusa for her hatred of humans by turning her into a monster and banishing her to the {{s|icaruspedia|Underworld}}, Medusa rebels by joining forces with the Underworld Army and attacking Skyworld.

As he adventures through the Underworld to Skyworld, Pit gathers the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], defeats Medusa, and rescues Palutena, who rewards him in various ways depending on his performance. | ||
In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Palutena has a premonition of an army of monsters attacking Angel Land, and tasks Pit with preventing this disaster by recovering the Three Sacred Treasures. When he gathers the treasures, the archdemon {{s|icaruspedia|Orcos}} appears and petrifies Palutena, leaving Pit to defeat him and rescue the Goddess of Light once more. This game went largely unnoticed, partially due to the fact that it was not released in Japan until 2012 via the [[Virtual Console]]. | In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Palutena has a premonition of an army of monsters attacking Angel Land, and tasks Pit with preventing this disaster by recovering the Three Sacred Treasures.
