Recently I also noticed how much Nasu rates Skadi highly. Unbeast Olga has lines for each Lostbelt King and she evaluated Skadi very highly, if not the highest out of the LB kings (Qin also up there as well). At the most recent Summer event you had that scene where we look out for the Casters who seem most likely to be able to do something about Morgan's barrier and she's among the few approached, with two other grand candidates, Medea and Circe, so Nasu pretty much casually droped his top 5 (top 6 including Morgan) Casters in Chaldea right there.

I also recall in LB6, when he remarked about Muramasa likely not being able to kill her despite his very strong Godslaying skill, but that may also be due to one of his components being a Norse God. He's been consistently proping Skadi up. Even on the epilogue to LB3 iirc, where Kirchtaria and Ophelia are conspiring of having Surtr as a last resort against her if dialogue should fail. In LB2 there's also a lot of side talk about the special nature of the Norse Lostbelt, as one of the few with Gods alive, and the potential of a humanity that has survived a world ending disaster. She's the only Lostbelt King that Kirschtaria has addressed personally, and who he believed might have come on top if not for his own Grecian Lostbelt.

The depiction of her Lostbelt also comes up only behind The 5th Lostbelt on U-Olga's Noble Phantasm. We can see her Gate of Skye noble phantasm depicted, above the Garden of Flowers that is populated by the different giants. It's a free quest on the Gotterdammerung LB map and the place close to where we met Gerda risking her life venturing to collect healing herbs for her sick friend Laura (it's revealed later Laura was sickly because she had just given birth and the Valkyrie envoys weren't there to heal her at the time).
