Background

Before becoming an Abyssal Hunter, Skadi lived only in her hometown and envisioned a quiet life as an Ægir electrician: maintaining lighting arrays, tinkering with instruments, and singing in a small cabin. Her life as a Hunter instead confined her to the Seaborn frontline and rear camp before she began wandering the land alone. During those travels, she witnessed persecution, exploitation, and conflict across multiple nations. 8 13 39

Skadi became one of Ægir's foremost Abyssal Hunters and once dealt the Sea God a fatal blow. The Sea God's surviving consciousness, Ishar'mla, remained within her; Skadi rejects Ishar'mla's preferred name, the Will of the Brood, and regards the Seaborn as enemies. 10 22

She joined the Dimensional Chat Group as Happy Little Orca. Initially believing the group panel might be a Seaborn trap or hallucination, she accepted Zerg's summons and arrived in an unfamiliar ruined Ægir city. There, Ishar'mla reacted to Zerg with both fear and longing, while Skadi discovered that Zerg and his Drones could consume Seaborn without assimilation. 8 9 10

Skadi's relationship with the Swarm gradually displaced her former isolation. She can draw energy from Creep, identifies Zerg and the purple Swarm creatures as blood relatives, and considers the Swarm—alongside her fellow Abyssal Hunters—her only kin. 37 161 233

Appearance

Skadi is a cool, glamorous Ægir woman with white hair and red eyes. She normally carries an enormous Ægir-made greatsword in a sword case, a weapon whose weight does not noticeably impede her movement. 8 39 58

• White hair and red eyes. 29 39
• Typically wears an Abyssal Hunter uniform and carries a heavy sword case. 9 140
• Wields a massive greatsword forged with Ægir technology. 166
• Following Ishar'mla's takeover and her bodily transformation, her damaged uniform is replaced with a tight red dress. 121 140
• Ishar'mla can manifest as a red-clad figure with Skadi's face. 233 318

Personality

Skadi is aloof and cautious around strangers, having come to believe that contact with others can bring them disaster. Even so, she is observant and practical: she recognizes misunderstandings before escalating violence, prioritizes survival, and remains composed when confronted by people stronger or stranger than herself. 8 29

Her central motivation becomes protecting Zerg. Skadi calls him her sibling and tiny compatriot, feeds and shelters him, and repeatedly intervenes against anyone she believes may exploit or harm him. This guardianship can become openly possessive, especially around W, Kiana, Kuisaxinna, and Ishar'mla. 13 18 174 237

Despite her intimidating strength, Skadi wants an ordinary, peaceful life and is easily satisfied by companionship with Zerg and the Swarm. She enjoys caring for young Zerglings such as Broken Tooth and is capable of technical work, including repairing a long-range communicator. 37 39
