Journal: Manga_Goddess_Skuld
Age: looks about 14. It's never stated if Goddesses age at the same rate as humans until maturity, though they do live forever, and we never see one that looks older than mid-twenties. My guess is she actually IS about 14.
Fandom: Aa Megamisama/Ah My Goddess/Oh My Goddess (depending on the translation) She is taken specifically from the Manga, not any of the various animes.
Canon Point: Chapter 218. Just after Sentaro said he was moving, and she pointed out that didn't mean they couldn't still hangout.

History:

Skuld is the Goddess/Norn of the future. She is the youngest of three Half-sisters and is just beginning to come into her powers. She is a genius, and even at a young age is the best Debugger Yggdrasil has. Since the Yggdrasil computers control everything about how the Goddesses interact with the various dimensions, her job is both difficult and important.

A few years back, her Big sister Belldandy, whom she adores went out on a mission with the Goddess Technical Helpline to grant a wish. The mortal, one Keichi Morrisato (Or Keiichi depending on the translation) made an unprecedented wish, that "a Goddess like you stay with me forever". the wish was accepted by the system, and Belldandy stayed on Earth.

A short while after that, Urd, Skuld's eldest sister snuck down to Earth to get Keiichi to man up and go further with Bell than just holding her hand and blushing like a fool. Skuld tried to convince herself that she was glad to see the back of Urd, but since their father, the Almighty, was a busy being.... that left her all alone. (While we find out about Urd's mother, as of where I stopped reading, we never learn about Belldandy or Skuld's mothers)

She tried to hold out, but for all she complains when people treat her like a kid, she kind of is one, and being left without her sisters was too much. So she seized the first excuse she could - the potential for bugs around Keiichi, to get Belldandy to come home. Of course, he had the potential because there were so many Goddesses there, so once Skuld arrived, the bugs she predicted came to the fore.

But she's the best little debugger in the Heavens for a reason. So she grabbed her hammer and started smashing the bugs. (Yes, Yggdrasil system bugs can manifest physically in the third dimensional plane, why ever do you ask?)

She quickly built goggles to let the others see the bugs so they could help her debug the system, each in their own way. She tried to convince Belldandy that the only way to be rid of the bugs was to come back to Yggdrasil. She wasn't lying, it was. But when Belldandy refused... Skuld INVENTED another way. The machine is still sitting in the temple (aka the Morisato house, because they live in a temple), chugging along, eating bugs. Though they did make it so he is no longer a singularity and no longer generates as many.

Skuld found excuses to stay on Earth. It wasn't so much that she was avoiding work as that she wanted to stay around Belldandy. And as much as Urd wanted K1 and Bell to get closer, Skuld worked to keep them apart.

She found her first true rival in Keiichi's sister, Megumi, when the girl DARED to criticize her redesign on Keiichi's bike. (He hadn't asked her to fix his motorcycle, but then when does one ever have to ASK Skuld to upgrade a machine?) When Megumi proved to be right, Skuld complained that Keiichi just didn't drive it right. She skirts, as seen here, dangerously close to lying. Only the fact that she genuinely believed that was the only reason her design could fail kept her on the right side of honesty.

Jumping Chonology here, because there are arcs that cross each other. So first - building Banpei:

Skuld built the first Banpei. Then the second. Then the third.... she kept going until she built her best one ever... even if she did kill all the power in the temple to switch him on. Every time she switched him on.

Unbeknownst to her, Bell added a circuit that meshed with her creation and made him more... well... alive. Skuld was sure that his emotions were a bug, and wanted to fix him, but was convinced not to by Bell. But because of his emotions, he dove into a dangerous situation, with no regard for his own safety, to save a cat. The damage he took, and the energy expended blanked his memory files and, as far as they knew, deactivated his emotions chip.

Rather than building a new one, Skuld pointed out that it wouldn't be like he had returned, and she was depressed for a while, though she did repair what she could. Eventually she got around to upgrading and improving him again, and without quite meaning to... she made it so his emotion circuit started working again, though she was right in that much of his original personality was gone. In his new personality, he happily accepted orders from Skuld to keep Keiichi and Belldandy apart whenever Skuld had to go back to Yggdrasil. He also was very good at his primary function - the reason she built him in the first place - to fight the Demon Mara.

Most inventions Skuld made after Banpei started to awaken again had some aspect of him - usually his face, and nearly always had Banpei in the name somewhere. "Banpei deep six" for example was an aquatic craft with submarine capabilities. She did a lot to improve the original Banpei however, and could alter him with ease. One of the best modes, for her, was his motorbike mode, because she still had not mastered water teleportation, and needed to get around.

And this worked just fine... until Banpei fell in love. Again. The first time had been before the wipe, when he had fallen in love with Belldandy. That was one of the things that never came back when his new personality surfaced. This time he fell in love with an automaton, a little girl doll that just bowed and said "Welcome, thank you for coming."

By the time Skuld realized THAT was why there were suddenly files in his memory locked so that she couldn't see them, and that he kept racing off when her back was turned... the woman who owned the welcome doll had thrown her away. Thankfully Keiichi's boss, Chihiro, had found her in the dump and had taken her back to the shop.

Skuld managed not to blow up at her - or blow her up - for calling her a little kid when she gave her the doll. Skuld bought her home and got to work on giving her an actual personality, and the ability to walk on her own. She came out, impressing everyone, except that when Banpei went to kiss her, she delivered a rocket punch to his face.

Skuld.... forgot to program her to love him. Whoops. Instead the doll, later named Sigel by Belldandy, adored Skuld, but threatened to self-destruct if ordered to love Banpei. Skuld often has to break up fights between them as Banpei chases her, refusing to take no for an answer and Sigel runs hot and cold, accepting him one moment, running from him the next, then beating him to spare parts in the next. Skuld spends a lot of time fixing them, as well.


Sentaro and her powers awakening-

Because lets face it, Keiichi might have accidentally started the process, but Sentaro is why she can keep growing and learning. K1 had been convinced, by Urd, that if he and Bell professed their love under the full moon at the Rock of Three Sisters, that they would be bound together forever. It took him all day and most of the night to work up his nerve.

Skuld, of course, went to break it up (after a sand doll that looked like a cute girl but was really sand held together by a super mag accidentally pulled his keys from his pocket, proving herself a fake, failed to stop him.... As did her blowing the sand doll up and all the booby traps along the way. "Geeze, I didn't expect him to trip all of them, even I'm starting to feel sorry for him.") and arrive Via water Teleportation JUST as Keiichi said "I love you". The words hit her and hit hard.

She thought she was falling in love with him. He thought she was having her first time of the month. Hilarity ensued as she decided to ask him on a date to prove to herself that she hated him. Urd thought that Skuld was falling for him and tried to break them up, but Keiichi is a good guy and kept protecting her. More, Belldandy realized exactly what was going on and worked to protect them, even deflecting the arrow meant to break the strongest of hearts. Urd actually thought she was doing it for Skuld's own good, surprisingly enough.

But it wasn't her falling in love at all. It was her powers awakening, and as Belldandy teaches her, a Goddess' powers are fueled by love. That was why the word, said with such honest affection, started her feeling so oddly. So of course once Skuld realized that was what it was, and released her new power (she stamped the word "Fool!" on Urd's face) she felt relieved and wonderful. The exact line was "Keiichi, I hate you forever" except she doesn't. I presume the fact that she can and does lie once in a while, and skirts the truth sometimes will come up if she ever wants to test for Goddess First class. To quote Urd the first time she took it "They said no Liars". But it is said in canon that the lying ban comes AFTER the promotion, I just don't know if she'll be able to handle it.

So, she was able to print FOOL, STUPID, IDIOT, MORON, and eventually PERVERT (Keiichi got the honor of that one) but not do much else. But Skuld had always had less magic than her sisters, and so had always relied on her machines to do for her what magic did for them. IT was a big part of what drove her to start building them in the first place. So the slow pace didn't get her down, and life went on.

One day she watched Belldandy on her Bicycle, and saw the look on her face. Skuld wndered if a bike was really that much fun, and Belldandy encouraged her, and she and Keiichi tried to teach Skuld to ride.

First Skuld built air jet knee and elbow pads to act as stabilizers. That... did not work. So she decided to add out trigger wheels - until Keiichi said "Oh, you mean like one of those little kids bikes?" That was the end of THAT idea. Then she realized that what it needed was a gyroscope and a motor. It was pointed out to he that if she does all that... it's not a bike anymore.

So she decided to try it without machines... just... try it.

And she fell. Again. And Again. And Again. And she couldn't understand why Belldandy, who was standing right there, who had ALWAYS been there for her wouldn't help her, didn't catch her, kept letting her fall.

Hurt, betrayed, and frustrated, Skuld announced that she was quitting, and ran away. Belldandy said - though not where she could hear it - that this was part of why Skuld still could not use her magic. She was always relying on machines or others, that she had to learn to find her own way, her own determination on the far side of suffering.

While sulking and fuming on a hill not far off, a shadow passed over her. She looked up and... there was a boy - Sentaro, about the age she appears, on a bike.... She watched as he messed up his landing. She rushed to where he fell and asked if the bike was okay, then set about fixing it for him. When he found out she hated bikes because they hurt you when you fall, he shared his own philosophy about bikes.... and taught her how to ride in a unique and rather dangerous way. He also proved that he is a geek like she is (we get a star trek reference from him here, and later we see her throw a model of the Enterprise). With his help she gets it, and she rides back to Belldandy on his bike, to show off.

She winds up returning his bike and getting her own, and she goes back to working on her magic, trying to remember how good it felt when she learned to ride, at how amazing it was to feel the power and speed she generated without a motor. She focused on that, she tried.

And Sentaro started coming over every day to show her new tricks. She hastily hid the nut she was trying to levitate behind her back as she watched him jump his bike onto a flat rock. She tried to focus on her lesson, instead of watching him, to the point where he asked if she had heat stroke. But between his nearness, and his saying about his bike that he just "loves" it... suddenly the nut started to float. She grabbed his hands, dancing happily that she did it, though he had no clue what it was she did.

Love... that was the key to her power, and her power grew at about the same pace her crush did. Since he was clearly crushing on her as well... she learned a lot of new tricks fast. Though she still... has a ways to go.

The moon rock bracelets and the crash of Yggdrasil -

So.... at some point early on to her time on Earth... Urd was supposed to go home as a punishment for all her lying. Well, that and the fact that she wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. So... she was told she'd have to go back. For longer than Keiichi would be alive. The other two sisters and K1 hatched a plan to build a warding mandala spell to keep Mara out that might just so happen to have the side effect of keeping the gate from being able to open.

Mara, of course, was already on the inside, and foiled their plan at the last moment. The gate opened, but then a rock got moved and the mandala fried the gate. And crashed the Yggdrasil system. All three of them got chewed out on the phone by the Almighty for that.

Well, the system crash let Urd stay, but it had other repercussions. Belldandy lost cohesion in her physical body and had to take a smaller form. Urd started regressing in age - though alcohol helped slow the effects, and Skuld.... started to age up. Quickly.

They were desperate for a solution, and the Almighty slipped them an answer, using a human fortune teller as a medium, Rocks of the Moon. So Keiichi researched the geological composition and creation of the moon and after some partial failures, replicated moon rocks, turning them into bracelets for the girls. The more bracelets they wore, the more power they had, but they had to be changed out every month. They are still seen to be wearing them after the system is restored, though not much is said about them.

Nobel Scarlet, the force amp, and the angel eater -

Really, Urd, if you did not want Skuld to play with the Angel's egg, why ever did you leave it in your room, on a pedestal, with a sign that read. "Do not touch, this means you, Skuld. Thou shalt not even look at this." OF COURSE Skuld was going to play with it. Of course... swallowing it had been an actual mistake.

Skuld is considered too young, and not yet powerful enough to carry an Angel, but at first when Nobel Scarlet is born to the young Goddess, she seems harmless enough, and helpful, helping Skuld carry and fetch small tools, and reading manga with her. Skuld is thrilled, especially as it seems like Urd doesn't have an Angel herself, for some reason.

Scarlet, having read the manga that Skuld has read, and knowing Skuld's crush on Sentaro as she is part of Skuld's soul, she pushes Skuld during an awkward moment, causing her to kiss Sentaro's cheek. Freaked out, he runs away, and Skuld screams at Scarlet (And this is where she throws the enterprise, so maybe she got into it BECAUSE of Sentaro?). Finally she forgives her Angel, but tells her "next time you do something like that, you have to go back into your egg."

Angels are absolutely obedient to their Goddesses'. So when Skuld came to Sentaro's BMX race but was about to leave before congratulating him, Scarlet shoved her forward through the crowd. Since that went well, she decided not to be angry with Scarlet... but she had already gone back into her egg. She had done it, knowing that would be the consequence.

Skuld was given her egg to wear around her neck like a necklace. Right beside the necklace Sentaro gave her.

She missed Scarlet. A lot. And after an adventure where Mara used a mental force amplifier to give Sayoko enormous amounts of magic in a plot to send Belldandy home to Yggdrasil, Skuld was inspired and built her own amplifier, hoping it would make her magic strong enough that Scarlet could be unsealed and join her again.

Unfortunately, Keiichi, trying to find out where the innards of his TV and radio went, accidentally activated it before she had built an off switch. Belldandy's wind element spell could not break through the resultant water wall. Urd, desperate to save Skuld and Keiichi tried what she had dreamed of but not been able to dare to do. She called forth her angel...for the first time since she had met her, her other self. World of Elegance - an angel with a pure white wing like the angels should have and a jet black wing closer to a Demon's familiar.

World of Elegance and Urd got through the machine and shut it down. Urd then proceeded, in true Urd fashion, to rub it in to Skuld every chance she got that she had and Angel and Skuld didn't.

Soon after the incident where time was being destroyed by a demon named Velspar and he became a cat - something that led to Skuld and Urd going back to Yggdrasil to desperately try and save the systems from crashing catastrophically which would have destroyed Earth and a chunk of Yggdrasil - one of the Valkyries, the fighting force, came to earth. She was Lind - the Binary Angel - so known because her angel had only one wing.

Lind informed them that a terrible infernal creature called an Angel Eater had come to earth, and she was there to protect them. Skuld and Keiichi, neither of them having Angels, were told there was nothing they could do to help. They couldn't even be bait.

Urd's Angel was stolen. Then Peorth's Le Rose Magnifique. (Peorth is a friend of the three Goddesses who kept finding excuses to come and visit.) When Belldandy's Angel, Blessed Bell, was stolen in front of Lind, she figured out how... the Angel Eater had attached itself like a parasite to her own Angel.

Lind came up with a cunning plan that required Skuld to have an Angel, and for Keiichi to take her other angel - that was why her Angel had only one wing, somehow she had TWO Angels - as his own. Which is how, long story cut very short since the rest has little to do with Skuld herself, she got Nobel Scarlet back. Not because she wanted an Angel out of jealousy, but because she truly needed her, and truly loved her.

Personality:
Skuld... Skuld is a child on the cusp of no longer being one. While she is learning to rely on herself more, she still relies too heavily on her machines. She hates being called a kid, but still acts the part, much to her own chagrin. She is still very much learning who she is and who she will be.

She is stubborn, though she would call it determined. She likes to prove that her way is the best, and that she is a genius. She is actually a genius, she's just often... short sighted. She is happy to build and fix anything for anyone, even if she does not like the person, and even if she was not asked.

Her inventions often either look true to life - the sand doll, Sigel, or terribly silly and cartoony - Skuld bombs, anything with Banpei's face... What they all have in common is that they are all things that are generally seen as impossible at the tech level of Earth. Her creations do unexpected things, have a strong resiliency and... every one of them has a self destruct. Even Banpei and Sigel. In fact, with most of them, if something goes wrong, in a fit of ire, she will blow them up with a flip of a switch.

"Skillfully superb execution. totally amateurish ending, it's got to be Skuld."

Skuld has attention/focus issues in that she can either hyper focus so much that she ignores everything around her and forgets her true goal, or she can get distracted at the drop of the hat, and since she starts both modes by seeming super focused, it'd hard to tell which way she'll go. She'll be focused on tapping into satellites to find Belldandy and Keiichi, and then freak out, scaring everyone around her, because she found something - an ice cream shop a mile from the house she's never been to She can also focus too much on a theory... she set up a search grid pattern to find Bell and K1 once while they were missing, and started the radius 50 feet out from the house, not realizing they might not ever have left... The Lord of Terror challenged that she couldn't make a 12th dimensional scythe, and she managed to forget that he was going to use it to cut the universal super-string in her excitement to build it.

But for all her faults, she's a genuinely good person who does want to be helpful. And when she succeeds, unless it is against Urd, she allows herself a moment of pride, and then moves on. She managed to defeat the Lord of Terror's Ultimate Destruction Program using a floppy disk and a magnet, when Bell chased it out of Keiichi, but other than one panel of her snarking at the disk... it doesn't really come up again. You will always get the "BECAUSE I AM A GENIUS" moments from her, but they rarely linger, and then she's on to her next challenge.

Powers/Abilities:

Skuld is a Goddess, second class, limited, and the best debugger in Yggdrasil. Magically, her powers are still nascent, she is still learning.

~She can teleport through water - sometimes managing to arrive where she means to, more often appearing inside someone's too hot tea or a bucket of mop water.

~She can stamp insulting words on someone's face.

~She can perform small acts of levitation.

~She can encourage a flower to bloom.

~She can call up her element, though it rarely does what she asks it to. The last time she tried a water spell to create the illusion of light filled butterflies she drew forth a small torrent of water that tried to drown her where she stood. With the force amplifier she created a wall of swiftly moving water that encircled her and the machine that she could not stop.

~random other abilities pop up when inspired by love for another person. She repaired Sentaro's bike, taking off all the scratches and damage (which turned out to be a mistake) just because she really loved the idea of his being able to ride a new, beautiful, bike. She also was able to create enough of an air cushion when he was falling one time to save him from breaking his neck. "I don't care if I can never use my magic again, just please give me my full power now!"

~Summoning Nobel Scarlet. She can do this again, but is hesitant to do so, because she's afraid she'll say the wrong thing and Scarlet will be sealed up again. (when she arrives in Tel, she'll have Scarlet in her egg as a necklace again, which will let her know the Angel is sealed up.)

~Ice cream recharge - she can regain energy, stay up impossible lengths of time, and gain more power by eating ice cream. (Urd gets the same from booze, Belldandy from Tea.) The problem is in order to do anything useful, the AMOUNT she has to eat is staggering. But she never gets a stomach ache from too much of it. So... that's something.

~Goddess. So... immortal. They have automated systems in their emblems that keep regenerating their outer form when they are on Earth, so that they can be seen and can interact. These systems are linked to Yggdrasil, which is why, when it crashed, she needed the bracelet to stabilize her. In Tel, as discussed, the bracelet the indebted get will serve the same function. Standard immortal package - she heals quickly, doesn't injure easily, immune to mortal viruses. She is, however, susceptible to certain high level computer viruses, as are all Goddesses.

~Not magic, but...she is a super gifted genius inventor. She can build nearly anything from minimal parts. She can blueprint, and she can work off of someone else's design, but she will almost always modify it, because of course she knows better. She also builds these seemingly impossible things SWIFTLY. She can repair almost anything.



Appearance:

She looks to be about 14 years old, with long black hair that flows to her ankles when she leaves it loose. She has a pretty face, if a bit round, and large expressive eyes. Over her nose and to either side of it she has emblems of the future, these are the links between her and Yggdrasil, and contain all her core programs.

She has the body of s kid still, more or less, which annoys her, and she tends towards either grungy mechanic's gear, or something like shorts or a short skirt with a longer piece in the back, and an odd top.
