Oh My Goddess

Skuld

A variation on the mythological Skuld is a major character in the anime/manga series Oh My Goddess created by Kosuke Fujishima. In Oh My Goddess!, Skuld is a young goddess, about 12 years old. Her primary responsibility is to "debug" (literally) the world computer Yggdrasil (the pun is that a computer's file structure is called a "tree"), using her hammer to destroy bugs that resemble eight-legged rabbits. Skuld is a Goddess Second Class (limited license) because of her age. Skuld is an inventor, though her mecha and inventions seldom work quite as planned because of her tendency to use magic to cover up her gaps in technical knowledge, almost always with humorous results. Her angel's name is Noble Scarlet, and she recharges by eating ice cream. Skuld's teleportation link is water.
