* FamilyFriendlyViolence: A victim of this at the end of Chapter 21; his wings are horribly burned, to the extent that the ''bones'' are visible.



* GodIsFlawed: This is why she takes a strong stance stance on protecting humanity. She's fully aware of how flawed humanity can be, but also knows that gods can be just as bad, if not worse than humans and when they fight, humans are innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

* HeroicWillpower: As pointed out by Viridi in Chapter 21, the fact that Palutena was able to resist having her soul devoured by the Chaos Kin proves she has incredible willpower.

* AintTooProudToBeg: In chapter 23, when faced with the possibility of being [[ToiletHumor defecated]] out of Hades' WombLevel, he absolutely freaks out and resorts to this:

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: At first, she's a villain, then becomes allies with Pit and Palutena over the course of the game to defeat the Aurum and Hades. According to Dark Pit's Palutena's Guidance conversation in ''Smash 4'', after the events of ''Uprising'', she's gone back to being Pit's enemy.
-->'''Viridi''': Just because we fought together once doesn't mean we're all buddy-buddy now.

Special mention, however, goes to Chapter 21, where he and Dark Pit pull a perfectly sychronized BadassBoast by simply FinishingEachOthersSentences.

-->'''Pit''': I fight for all creatures living and breathing! I fight for all departed souls still hanging in limbo! But most of all, I fight for Lady Palutena, the Goddess of Light! And it's in all their names that I will crush you, Lord of the Underworld! I won't let you descerate another soul!

** To Viridi. Both characters help Pit out during the game and both of them have similar powers, but their stances on humans are polar opposites of each other.

* {{Foil}}:
** To Medusa. Both of them ruled Skyworld together, but the two are quite literally as different as night and day. Palutena is the benevolent Goddess of Light, Medusa is the vindictive Goddess of Darkness. Palutena has light powers to contrast Medusa's dark magic and her clothing is white to contrast Medusa's purple dress. Palutena cares deeply for humanity and wishes to protect it. Medusa despises humanity and wishes to see it destroyed.

He won't go into details on what happened to him while Pit was in the ring, but it wasn't pleasant, to say the least. Pit [[HeroicSacrifice nearly dying]] for his sake is enough for him to fully switch sides and be Pit's ally.
