SKADI
Norse Hunting Goddess
Also known as Skaði
Giant Winter Goddess of Skiing
She’s known as the Snow-Shoe Goddess after being forced to choose a husband from among the Gods, who would only let her see their feet.
Unfortunately, the fairest legs belonged to the ugly Njord and not the handsome Balder she was hoping for. Needless to say, the marriage was a disaster and they never became sole-mates.
Eventually she ran off with Odin, presumably because he’s good at skiing.
She’s also had a few run-ins with Loki, mostly of the insulting kind. She’s the one who had the bright idea of punishing him with the serpent that drips poison onto his face. We suggest you try to keep on her good side.
