Skadi

Skadi is a giantess and goddess of winter, hunting, mountains, and skiing in Norse mythology. Seeking revenge for her father Thiazi's death, she demanded a husband from the Aesir and chose Njord by his feet, but their marriage failed due to differing domains (sea vs. mountains). Skadi embodies independence, fierce beauty, and mastery over harsh environments. She hunts with bow and skis, symbolizing survival and strength in winter. Her story reflects tensions between Vanir and Aesir, and the challenges of incompatible unions in Norse cosmology.
