SKADI
SKADI -- Goddess of Winter
Aliases: Skaldi
The frost giantess Skaði is the ruler of the winter wilds, Goddess of the cold and snow, a huntress with the bow and arrow. When she was seeking weregild for her father’s death, Odin was so intimidated by her fierce aspect that he agreed to pay the blood price, under condition that she choose her husband from among the Æsir by their feet. She picked the most beautiful of feet, but she had chosen the feet of Njörðr. With vastly different lifestyles, they agreed to spend nine nights in the mountains to appease Skaði and nine nights near the sea to appease Njörðr. Needless to say, they both were miserable and soon (amicably) divorced.
When placed together, Skaði and Njörðr are the perfect duo to help those who seek an amicable divorce. She also married Odin at one point, and produced many Scions with the All-Father. She even had an affair with Loki and, when they proclaimed it before the other Gods, her hatred for them grew ferociously. She has, at times, placed a snake upon their head to drip venom into their eyes. Humorless and devoid of passion, Skaði reserves her emotions for deeds and those with whom she shares an indescribable bond — hunting, skiing, those who do not feel at home within their skin, and Loki.
Today, Skaði’s Incarnations spend a great deal of time in snow-plagued lands under the guise of a winter park caretaker or a hunting ranger, often dealing with her frost giant kin. Bundled in the best gear, Skaði makes time to ski and snowboard. If she is forced outside of her niche, she quickly grows bored and very impatient, even to her own Scions (who often display giant or Titanic heritage). They possess her same warrior nature and her love of hunting.
