Scathach

Story

Scathach is a legendary figure from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, serving as the lord of the Land of Shadows (Dun Scaith). In the Fate universe, she is a peerless warrior and mage who reached the level of a god, resulting in her being cursed with immortality and removed from the cycle of life and death. Because she cannot die naturally or be recorded in the Throne of Heroes while alive, she exists outside of time. She is famously known as the mentor of Cu Chulainn, whom she gifted the Gae Bolg. Her primary motivation is to find a warrior strong enough to kill her. She possesses immense wisdom and authority, often acting as a stern but guiding figure to the Master of Chaldea. Her combat prowess is unmatched, utilizing twin demonic spears and Primordial Runes to dominate the battlefield.

Notes

Stoic, wise, disciplined, melancholic, and authoritative, Scathach trains heroes. She longs for a worthy opponent who can grant her peaceful death, yet immortality isolates her from rebirth. Her mastery of god-slaying spear techniques and Primordial Runes carries the cost of eternal isolation outside the cycle of life and death. Purple hair, crimson spears, and her tight purple bodysuit stand out.
