Palutena
Age: Don’t ask… Appears to be in her early to mid-20’s
Height: 5’10”
Weight: Unknown
Occupation: Goddess of Light
First Appearance: Kid Icarus (December 19, 1986)
-Always has food on the mind
Theme:
Feats:
-Resisted the Chaos Kin’s mind control for several years
-Leads an army of Centurions
-Was able to telekinetically move islands
-Turned Pit into a ring
-Defeated a giant vegetable monster
Long ago, the heavenly realm of Angel Land was once ruled by two goddesses: Palutena, the goddess of light, and Medusa, goddess of darkness. While they originally ruled with benevolent intentions, Medusa would eventually grow hateful toward humanity and decided to start killing them out of spite. Enraged by this, Palutena responded by placing a curse that turned Medusa into a hideous monster and cast her into the pits of the Underworld.
Unbeknownst to the green-haired goddess, Medusa would wind up taking over the Underworld and using its army to attack Palutena’s home realm of Skyworld, murder all of the goddess’ army, take control over all of Angel Land, and imprison Palutena in a palace. In a last-ditch attempt to stop Medusa, Palutena crafted a bow using the last of her magic energy and sent it to Pit, a young angel who had found himself trapped in the Underworld. With his weapon in hand, Pit gathered up the Three Sacred Treasures, the only weapons capable of stopping Medusa, and used them to slay the dark goddess. Once that was done, he freed Palutena from her prison, and she thanked him by promoting him to captain of her royal guard.
25 years later, Medusa would be resurrected by Hades, god of the Underworld, which she celebrated by wreaking havoc on humanity once again. In response, Palutena would serve as mission control while sending Pit out to wipe out the goddess’ forces, regather the Three Sacred Treasures, and kill her a second time.
Strength:
-Scaling to Pit, she should be Island Level to possibly Star Level at minimum and Multi-Solar System at maximum
-The latter comes from Hades, who created, maintained, and shook a dimension with visible stars in it, and in the final battle, Pit was able to damage Hades. During their fight, Palutena’s assistance allowed for Hades to finally be defeated, and she should be above Pit normally
-Pseudo-Palutena, a much weaker clone of her, was able to hurt Pit

Durability:
-Scaling to her DC, Island to Star Level at minimum, and Multi Solar System at maximum

Ten years before the world fell into darkness, the wise, elderly Keyblade Master Eraqus had taken in three disciples: the strong, promising young man Terra; the optimistic and equally promising Ventus; and the well-mannered, disciplined Aqua. These three trained under Eraqus for years with only two goals in mind: protect the light, and become Keyblade Masters.
Unfortunately for the trio, only Aqua was destined to become a Keyblade Master, as Terra was revealed to possess a growing darkness within his heart. Realizing this darkness could likely consume Terra if not kept in check, Eraqus secretly ordered Aqua to keep an eye on the failed Keyblade wielder to make sure he was alright and bring him back should the brunette’s heart start drifting to the dark side.
While she was initially reluctant at first, Aqua would eventually agree to the job and began spying on him. Unfortunately, the machinations of Maleficent, Xehanort, and Vanitas would ultimately lead to Aqua believing that Terra was succumbing to the darkness in his heart. Not helping matters was that Terra had used that same darkness to nearly kill Eraqus upon finding out that he’d tried to kill Ventus in an attempt to disrupt Xehanort’s plans. After this, Xehanort would succeed in his plans to forge the χ-blade, putting Ventus in a coma in the process, and stealing Terra’s body for his own gain. In an attempt to stop this, Aqua- after placing Ventus in a safe space- went after the Xehanort-possessed Terra and tried to bring him back to his senses. Realizing what she was planning, Xehanort stabbed himself in the chest and opened a portal into the Realm of Darkness. In a desperate attempt to save him, Aqua leapt into the portal, sacrificing her armor and all but one of her Keyblades to bring him back to the realm of light. Unfortunately, this would leave Aqua with no way to escape the realm, and she would spend the next decade trying to find a way out.
It would only be after the intervention of King Mickey and one of the new Keyblade Masters, Riku, that Aqua would finally get another chance to escape. But history would repeat itself as Aqua once again sacrificed her chance at escape to fight off an army of Shadows that had attacked Riku, leaving her stranded for another 2 years.
