History
Skadi was a Frost Giantess,[1] wife of Njord, daughter-in-law of Tiwaz,[3] and, according to myths, the goddess of winter.[2]
Leading Frost Giants, she allied with the Dwarves of Nidavellir against Malekith.[1]
During a random trek through her home, Skadi encountered the winged horse Aragorn and nursed the wounds he had received from Malekith's demon dogs, taking him under her protection.[1]
Sunspot, Danielle Moonstar, and Meltdown of X-Force came across Skadi as she was tending to Aragorn's injuries. She reacted with surprise to their powers since she had never encountered either humans or mutants before. She surrendered Aragorn to them to head to Valhalla to seek the conditions of the Valkyrie imprisoned by Hela and Malekith.[1]Notes
According to myths, Skadi was the goddess of winter, but it is possible that Kelda, goddess of winter storms, was another name for her, or that the myths may overlook Kelda in favor for Skadi because Kelda's disinterest in adventure made her poor material for viking sagas (or simply that Kelda's domain overlooks Skadi's).[2]
