Damage or goddess of winter and the hunt
In Norse mythology, Skadi is a jötunn and goddess associated with bowhunting, skiing, winter, and mountains. Her name is likely derived from the Old Norse word for 'scathe' or 'damage', though some scholars link it to the word for 'shadow'. She is famously known for choosing her husband by his feet and for her fierce independence.
