Pallette (パレット Paretto) is one of the three Navigator Reploids in Mega Man X8. She is assigned to help the Maverick Hunters quell the Jakob riots and serves as Axl's playable counterpart.

== Appearance == Pallette is roughly 3 Reploid years old (approximately 11 human years old), stands at 4'9" (144 cm), and weighs around 85 lbs (39 kg). Her Special Weapon is the Pallette Bullets.

Pallette is a female Reploid who resembles a young, petite human girl (around 11 years old) and appears much younger than her fellow Navigators. She has light skin, blue eyes, short blonde hair, and two panels on either side of her head resembling twintails. Her armor is yellow-green, while her bodysuit is teal-blue. She has two panels on her hips that evoke the appearance of a skirt, and appears to have a collar around her neck, making it somewhat look like she is wearing a schoolgirl's uniform. In the R&D Lab, she wears small circular glasses.

== Personality == Pallette is the most upbeat of the three Navigators. She speaks in a cheery and high-pitched tone and enjoys teasing her friends, such as Layer. Despite her childlike appearance, she is very intelligent and takes her job seriously. Pallette can also have a bit of a short temper and hates being ignored.

== Powers and Abilities == She specializes in route analysis and is a skilled cartographer, excelling at finding hidden areas or structural irregularities. She also runs the R&D Lab and processes Rare Metals into upgrade Chips, showing her technological and engineering prowess.

Her main weapon is Pallette Bullets, which are a pair of laser pistols. She can also use her jetpack to hover above the ground.

== Trivia ==

• Excluding spin-offs, Pallette, Layer, and Alia are the first female playable characters in a main series Mega Man game.
• If Pallette was not the most frequently used Navigator on the player's first playthrough, the player will need to use her at least four more times in the continued save file to unlock her for purchase
• Like the other two playable Navigators, Pallette cannot use Axl's White Armor.
• Pallette has an unused voice file in the Japanese version of Mega Man X8 where she shouts "Henshin!", meaning "Transform!" in Japanese. This suggests that at one point in development, Pallette was considered to be able to use the A-Trans function that Axl has. Furthermore, unused animations were found where Pallette would use this skill as well, but it was left unused.
• One of the Guardian operators from Mega Man ZX, Marguerite, appears to be based on Pallette.
