Before the war, Partita was a very kind woman with a radiant smile who seemed to embrace everything positively. One day, she told Pandora that she was pregnant and would name her child Tenma, which means "Pegasus" in Japanese. Pandora was happy about this news. Later, Pandora discovered her own mother was pregnant with her little brother (who is Hades' soul), making Pandora extremely happy and able to see everything in a "glow."
But after her brother was born, he mysteriously disappeared from the castle, with Hypnos blaming it on an Athena's Saint. Pandora, enraged by the loss of her little brother, ordered both Partita and her son to be killed. In a flashback, we learn that Partita died protecting her little boy but later succumbed to the cold. The child was taken by Mephistopheles Youma, later revealed to be Partita's husband.
In another twist, it is discovered that Partita had been resurrected after Youma enters the scene and reveals the secret. She humbly embraces Pandora with calm words, before tearing her dress apart, leaving her to die. Youma then teleports his wife and son to the Uranus Temple. Tenma finds himself shocked when he realizes he is no longer in the Saturn temple. He is even more shocked when he sees his mother clothed in a Surplice.
The Pegasus Saint says he won't fight his mother, who comes closer, holding him in her arms. Still, this wasn't an act of mercy as she releases a power burst of her cosmo, claiming she would kill him. She then reveals her master plan: at the cost of her own life, she would protect him so the soul of the "god slayer" would be saved. Now she returned to regain it to destroy the Olympus Gods so she and her husband (Youma) can bring a new era to the world. Tenma remembers his mother's good side and refuses to fight her. Partita watches this with disdain, saying she only wants Pegasus' soul as her own child.
Before she could kill Tenma, another great burst of Cosmo stops her. She recognizes the lighting-based attack as Pandora's. Claiming Pandora will create her own reality, she attacks Partita, saying she will succeed in destroying both mother and son. Although Pandora moves thanks to her determination, her Cosmo isn't strong enough to damage Partita. The Owl Specter decides to erase Pandora from her misery, sending them to the Underworld with another powerful blast of pure Cosmo. But Tenma, tired of all the fights, says he won't allow his mother to kill Pandora even if she is his enemy. With his strong will, his Pegasus Bronze Cloth turns into a Golden shine.
The Uranus Guardian disdains the Golden shine of the Bronze Cloth, saying it's merely a coat. Tenma answers that the lives of all his friends are inside the Cloth, and so it's not just a coat. He attacks Partita, and in a clash of forces, the Bronze Saint partially destroys her surplice. During this confrontation, Pandora realizes there isn't one surplice or cloth that represents the Owl. Again during the battle, Tenma attempts to strike again at his mother, but she easily stops his attack. An eye appears from her Surplice and sends radiation that completely destroys the Bronze Cloth.
Partita claims she'll take Pegasus' soul. She succeeds in this task, and it's seen that Tenma's soul isn't common among mortals. But the Pegasus Saint is too stubborn to give up and tries to force his soul back into his body. The leader of Hades' army advises against it, as it could cause irreparable damage. While holding onto his soul, a feather of the Pegasus' wing touches the broken parts of his armor, leading to its resurrection in the form of a God Cloth. Partita beholds Tenma's God Cloth, and they engage in a battle with the Pegasus Saint's power raised to the maximum. In a clash, Partita's Surplice gets partly crashed, and as she falls from the sky, it's revealed she was important in Athena's army.
During a conversation with her Goddess, it was revealed that Athena planned to be reborn as a human in an unspecified Holy War, something Owl really disliked. Fearing Athena couldn't find Pegasus to help her win the Holy War, Partita decided to be reborn as a human to help Pegasus and Athena find each other. She later says how her little boy seems willing to die fighting for her Goddess. She dies in the arms of her beloved son.
After the defeat of Youma, Partita appears again in front of Tenma, holding a rosary, telling them to be silent, as if someone was sleeping. Tenma looks closely at the basin, noting it contains the soul of Youma, asleep next to a clock. Moments after holding Partita, Youma appears and tells Tenma that only with Partita he was happy, but Tenma doesn't believe. Finally, it is revealed that they were actually against Alone.
