Palette is one of the supporting characters of Mega Man X series and made her debut in Mega Man X8. She is tasked with helping the Maverick Hunters to quell the Jacob's riot control as one of the navigators, and serves as a playable counterpart for Axl.
Appearance[]
Palette is a female Reploid who looks much younger than her fellow navigators. She has short blonde hair and her two panels on either side of her head that resemble twintails. Her armor is yellow-green and her bodysuit is turquoise. Her waist has two panels reminiscent of a skirt, and her neck appears to have a collar, making her look somewhat like a sorority uniform. In the R&D lab, she wears small round glasses. In the field, she wields a cartoonish laser gun.
Personality[]
Palette is the most hilarious of the three navigators. She speaks in a bright, high-pitched tone and enjoys making fun of friends such as Layer. Contrary to her childish appearance, she is very intelligent and takes her job seriously. She specializes in route analysis and is a skilled cartographer who excels at finding hidden areas and structural irregularities. She also runs an R&D lab, processing rare metals into upgraded chips, and demonstrates her technical and engineering prowess. Palette can be a little hot-tempered and she hates being ignored.
History[]
Palette was introduces herself with Layer. The two were recently assigned to help Alia navigates X, Zero, and Axl against the New Generation Reploids. She specializes in route analysis and she may be selected to assist Hunters in the field, she tells them. She also appears at the end of each level to process the metals she collects and research and development.
After the two Mavericks are defeated, Palette helps Layer meet Zero on a casual level and teases her about her crush in front of him, but Zero doesn't seem to mind. She is the one who later proposed analyzing Axl's data and comparing it to that of New Generation Reploids to determine Axl's chances of becoming Maverick.
Pallets and the other navigators will not be able to support the Hunters as communication will be blocked once the Hunters enters the Sigma Palace.
