First Appearance: KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi] (2016)
A Keyblade wielder and one of five new Union leaders selected by the Master of Masters to lead the Dandelions after the Keyblade War. Skuld is bright, confident, and steadfast in her beliefs, not unlike that of Lady Ava, the Foreteller of Vulpes, to whom she is frequently compared.
When she first awakened as a wielder, she eagerly made her own party in the hopes that other players would join her, but no one did until Ephemer. With his help, she was able to recruit more members and and the party quickly expanded. Ephemer felt Skuld would be okay now that she had comrades who would take care of her and decided to leave the party, but the other players eventually began to lose interest and left to seek opportunities elsewhere. Before long, Skuld was all alone again.
One day, she receives a message from Ephemer, informing her that the end of the world approaches and it is imperative that she finds the Player. When she finally meets the Player, they explain that Ephemer had been trying to find a way into the Foreteller's Room before he disappeared. She encourages them to continue where he left off, believing the truth they seek must surely lie within the Foreteller's Room.
Instead, Skuld and the Player are confronted by Ava under the guise of another Foreteller, who tries to fool them into believing Ephemer sought to infiltrate the Room for personal gain and has since been disposed of. Despite being faced with that knowledge, the two do not waver and confront Ava. Satisfied by their response, Ava reveals it was all just a test to see if they could refuse the temptation of darkness in the face of tragedy. In doing so, she offers Skuld and the Player an invitation to join the Dandelions, a group made up of wielders from all Unions that would carry on their legacy after the Keyblade War. While the Player refuses the offer, Skuld graciously accepts, and the two part ways.
By the time they next meet, tensions had risen between the Unions. Wielders raising Keyblades against each other had become commonplace, and the Foretellers have completely drifted apart. Skuld has bene trying to convince as many wielders as she can to turn away from the upcoming conflict, but they refuse to believe her words.
