* In the airborne land of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Skyworld]], there presides a Goddess who watches over her world, being [[BigGood an ever present force of Good]]. This is Palutena, the Goddess of Light, and master of the flightless angel Pit. Having been imprisoned by [[EvilCounterpart the Goddess of Darkness Medusa]], Palutena had to be rescued by Pit, who had been banished to the underworld. The two are known for being... [[SequelGap inactive]] since then ([[HistoryRepeats and have gone inactive after their first outing in 25 years]]), but they've been given [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros a consolation that they're willing to take]]. Many divine beings are known for having great power. Some are also known for their great beauty. As the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods needed someone that is not only already considered a deity but also associated with light, they decided to give the title to Palutena since she's already hailed as that in her home world. This decision was fueled by how she continues to be referred to by that title even in VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU. Palutena is pleased to know that she's recognized as such, since she takes pride in the light. Pit was surprised to see that she has ascended. She had this to say to him:
--> [[PreAsskickingOneliner "Oh, I'm not here to save you, Pit. I'm here for a little, uh... divine intervention."]]
* The Goddess of Light did not take kindly to the news that the Chaos Kin had arrived in the Pantheons. She has since been sending out her Centurians to warn everyone of its presence and abilities in hopes of minimizing whatever damage it could bring about. It has since been on the run, searching for whatever dark corner that it could bide its time. Sadly, she'll also find out that the Pantheons are home to villains that are just as bad, if not worse than what she's had to deal with.
* She is not allowed in the kitchens of the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ-7ZNlPFeA this]] happened. She can't really blame the ones in charge, since she can't toss the blame for that incident on anyone other than herself. From that House, she's learned of the Dementors, who often eat the souls of whoever they come into contact with. Considering what they do and how fearsome they are, Palutena has made sure to warn Pit about them, saying they give Eggplant Wizards, Tempura Wizards, and even Orns a run for their money.
* Thanks to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_8.jpg this]], some deities have started to pair her up with Lucina. When this was presented to them, Lucina was completely flabbergasted at how that moment was recorded. She insisted that the whole thing was an accident and that it shouldn't be used as prove of anything. Palutena thinks it's ActuallyPrettyFunny, but it also shouldn't be used to suggest anything romantic between them.
* Palutena was surprised to meet up with [[Pantheon/LifeAndVitality Athena]] considering [[{{Expy}} that they shared some things in common]]. Palutena hopes that this Athena won't indulge in the same actions that [[VideoGame/GodOfWarIII a certain other incarnation did in one world]]. Considering how this Athena is one of the only people in her Pantheonic lineage to have a strong sense of morality and responsibility, she has nothing to fear.
* Naturally, she wasn't happy to hear that the Hades from her world was in the Pantheon. She was even less thrilled when she found out that there was [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} another Hades]]. She also learned that the latter can take on [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} another form]] when he decides to get serious. Unfortunately, as much as he's less malevolent than others, Palutena found the latter form of Hades [[NoSenseOfHumor kind of a bore]]. Thankfully, the Zeus from the second Hades mentioned turned out to be [[AdaptationalHeroism surprisingly benevolent compared to his usual depiction]]. This one is unambiguously the BigGood of his respective world and sympathizes with her situation of being TakenForGranite after having her soul in danger. He's willing to provide her with Thunderbolts in case she comes across another major threat.
* In relation to Hades, one world has him with a somewhat obscure son named [[VideoGame/{{Hades}} Zagreus]] who is very amicable and easy-going. Upon learning of the Hades that Palutena has had to deal in her world, he gives his sympathy. Likewise, Palutena is willing to give blessings of her own to Zagreus should he ever need to escape a prison, and unlike other deities, [[GracefulLoser she won't get upset if he chooses someone else]]. It helps that he's quick to feel responsible if he's ever InnocentlyInsensitive.
* A similar thing happened after she encountered two different Medusas. She doesn't like either of them and has been making sure they don't cause a lot of trouble. In particular, Medusa Gorgon attracted quite a bit of vitriol from Palutena due to her being TheSociopath. The only reason why things didn't get really hairy is because Medusa knows [[TransformationHorror what Palutena did to the one from her world]] and wants to avoid that same fate. However, when Pit told her about [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight a different Medusa]] that wasn't as bad as the others, she decided to meet up with her. Following the initial meeting with Rider, Palutena gets along rather decently with her. It helps that she's able to avoid turning people into stone and is a PunchClockVillain at worst.
* She ended up getting possessed by something known as the Chaos Kin back in her own world. Thankfully, she was freed from its control by Pit. Given what had happened during the time she was possessed, she doesn't like gods that specialize in DemonicPossession. Its arrival has not gone unnoticed by her. After being controlled by that thing, Palutena has made it a priority to oppose it however she can while also keeping her distance to avoid a repeat of what happened last time.
* Has taken part of [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the Smash tournament]] with a moveset that is [[ComboPlatterPowers more diverse]] compared to the other participants. She is only allowed to choose four different moves at a time before battles though. [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Recently]], she's been forced to combine some of her moves together due to no longer being allowed to choose.
** Speaking of the Smash tournament, Pit can access a [[EasterEgg secret taunt]] to ask her for aid, communicating with her and Viridi. When Solid Snake heard the news, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeReOgcUJi8 he was not amused that they took his job at codecs]]. Palutena likes the idea of relaying information to Pit on who he's fighting ([[CombatPragmatist provided it's not her]]), but she can understand why he'd be upset.
** She's also noticed how [[Pantheon/AirBasedTravel Star Fox]] has a similar gimmick for their own stages. They're impressed, but not surprised that a Goddess managed to have a larger scale version of the same thing that they did. Additionally, [[SeenItAll they're not even surprised that divine figures exist at all]], considering the massive, colorful cast of characters in Smash.
** Palutena has also taken note of Byleth's presence here, since they're known for housing an entire Goddess inside of them (albeit one with amnesia) that can [[TimeMaster rewind time]]. Byleth, while not a very talkative person most of the time, notes how much Palutena resembles the Archbishop Rhea of the Church of Seiros. From the long, green hair, to the saintly appearance. Palutena is pleased to hear how there's someone out there who she reminds someone of.
* Although she wasn't ascended when it happened, [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/991/109/7ac.jpg she was present alongside other Nintendo deities]] when they mourned the passing of [[Creator/SatoruIwata a certain man]].
* Like Viridi, Palutena wasn't amused to hear that one Panty Anarchy has been trying to seduce Pit. For one thing, Panty is a late teenager while Pit is still a minor (by angel years). And second... [[LovableSexManiac she has no standards whatsoever]]. Panty thinks Palutena needs to get a life, and isn't afraid to call her "ma'am" just because she can. Being even more unamused, [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent Palutena laments the fact that Panty couldn't at least be more like her sister Stocking]] (or at least, [[spoiler:what she pretended to be]]).
* She has been offered the services of Angelo himself, seeing her as a worthy Goddess to serve, and recognizing her mind control was something that his crush Jessica was forced through once. She just playfully chuckles at his offers, but still has him on standby should his help be needed. In addition, Palutena has taken note of the Luminary, who is heavily associated with [[LightIsGood light being a force for good]]. He's not one for words ([[CheerfulChild at least not in his current age]]), but he makes it clear that he appreciates her presence and services.
* One villain that caught Palutena's attention was Shang Tsung. His tendency to shapeshift into whoever he wants makes her wary of whoever is in her presence, especially since he can steal other people's souls. Refusing to fall victim to that a second time, Palutena refuses to fall for his [[FauxAffablyEvil superficial charm]] due to his [[ChronicBackStabbingDisorder chronic betrayals]].
* During her travels, Palutena came across Celestia and Luna. The former found [[BigGood a lot to relate to in Palutena]], but she wasn't fond of her occasional pranks and teasing towards Pit. Recently, Palutena has had a JerkassRealization about how Gods tend to get mortals caught up in the middle of their struggles and disagreements. She pities Luna for falling victim to her SuperPoweredEvilSide Nightmare Moon ([[EnemyWithout who seems to have become her own entity]]), having been in a similar position ([[{{Pun}} or should we say]], [[DemonicPossession possession]]). The princesses appreciate the sentiment, and look forward to their next encounter.
* As is the case with countless figures, Palutena is at odds with Zamasu. On top of the LongList of crimes he's committed ([[Characters/DragonBallGokuBlack at least one of which she can relate to]]), his hatred of mortals is so strong, that he wants to kill everyone for letting mortals be evil and Gods for letting them do so. Palutena thinks that he's just looking for an excuse to kill as many people as possible based on [[InsaneTrollLogic his questionable logic]], and was nothing more than a bomb waiting to go off [[MaskOfSanity before his fall]]. His beliefs are just an exaggerated version of Viridi's view of humans, except Zamasu doesn't even see value in having henchmen to care about. Vishnu is but one of many other Gods who can oppose him, and Palutena is grateful that they're around to maintain (relative) stability in the Pantheons.
* Predictably as the heroic Goddess of Light, Palutena found a natural enemy in Chernobog, the Black God. As if his appearance wasn't enough of a red flag, he has the tendency to make himself seem even slightly less evil than he already is only to subvert whatever kindness he pretended to have. Even her Hades wasn't this {{sadist}}ic. Without uttering so much as a word, he made her glad that he has a weakness that she (and others) can exploit. The seemingly limitless resources of the Pantheons can make it easy to draw out the full extent of Palutena's abilities. One such example is Ezalor, whose very existence prevents his world from falling into darkness.
* During her exploration of the Pantheons, Palutena came at odds with Oryx the MadGod. While not quite true to his title, he's insane enough to try to TakeOverTheWorld that he's from and has a habit of relying on his henchmen (or his simulacrums) to fight his battles for him. Palutena sees this as cowardly, since she mostly just relies on Pit with her blessings to take on her foes. The only time that her centurions were actually put on the front lines was when Pit needed them to carry a platform that he was standing on. There's also the whole feeding humans to his minions. It's a good thing Pit has experience in taking down godly figures, or she'd have to call Dyntos for another set of trials.

'''Who is Whitson?'''

Whitson appears to be the assistant of aspiring detective Sholmes (yes, these are their actual names) who are investigating the murder of a rich man known as Lord Gulliver. In reality, Whitson is a PhantomThief who set up the whole incident because Sholmes was thinking of becoming either a Police Detective or a Private Investigator. Depending on which choice the player encourages Sholmes to pick, the path not chosen will be deemed trivial, and the actual one will be what causes Whitson to see him as a threat. The primary suspect (and actual murderer) of Lord Gulliver is his wife, Madame Goldiga (not very subtle). She worked with Whitson to take him down, cluing her in on a secret passageway in Starkfort, a former military base that he bought. While he at first seems like an obvious stand-in for Watson, Whitson is a CorruptedCharacterCopy of him.

Despite Heinkel and his men searching Starkfort for hidden paths, no one found the route that he used to commit the crime. He also successfully captures Heinkel or Kikyo by luring either of them into a trap by lying about having information. He then manages to impersonate them, proving to be an effective MasterOfDisguise, even mimicking their fighting styles and voices. In the end, Whitson is a KarmaHoudini who escapes and becomes a recurring foe for Sholmes offscreen. By the time Heinkel's team uncovers the full truth behind this murder mystery, Whitson is already long gone.

'''Is he a Bastard? Too Much?'''

At least enough to qualify. He orchestrated the death of Lord Gulliver with Madame Goldiga, killed her afterward when she tried threatening him, and attempted to lead Sholmes down a path that would render him harmless to his thieving ways.

That said, Whitson is a saint compared to the likes of Dr. Qada the Salve Maker. That guy was a MadScientist who (among other things) resorted to using poison gas, killing both ally and enemy.

This is just a single {{Sidequest}} villain, but that didn't stop Kikyo from being approved. Also, while Whitson ultimately fails to prevent Sholmes from being a threat to him, there's nothing that suggests he was ever definitively defeated. A closing narration says that Sholmes would become a legendary GreatDetective/Inspector, and the two would have a rivalry, resulting in an "epic battle of minds" that no one predicted would be "far-reaching".

Does he count? Up to you.



* MagnificentBastard: [[PhantomThief Whitson]] is a criminal from a long family line of assistants who've served detectives in the past. He conspires with Madame Goldiga to murder her husband Lord Gulliver for his fortune, using a hidden passageway that no one was able to find quickly enough. When Argent Heinkel and Konoe Kikyo investigate the murder, Whitson lures one of them into a trap and impersonates them, [[MasterOfDisguise fooling almost everyone who was familiar with them]]. Despite failing in his goal of deterring aspiring detective Sholmes from his desired career, [[KarmaHoudini Whitson manages to escape justice]], clashing several times with Sholmes in the future.
