Scáthach in the Forest of Shadows

About this image

Scáthach in the Forest of Shadows is a public AI image work by VHS on TextBattle Gallery. Scáthach is probably the character that diverges the most from actual Celtic mythology. I made her early on, before I really knew the story I wanted to tell here. Instead of deleting her when I had a more cohesive story, I just made some changes to her to adapt her into it, because I like her. Like in mythology, she is still a master of various forms of martial arts, especially spearmanship, and resides in the Forest of Shadows. However, rather than teaching the hero Cú Chulainn, she is instead teaching his father, Lugh Lamfada. To explain how she could be around to teach both Cú and his father, I made her immortal and half Tuatha Dé Danann. Despite her lineage, she has little interest in the political conflicts between the humans, Fomorians, and Gods, instead largely keeping to herself. The Forest of Shadows is located on the floating island known as The Isle of Skye, hidden in the mists of Féth Fíada by Manannán mac Lir. Only those whom Scáthach deems worthy are allowed entrance onto her mystical isle. Tags include #image, #여성, #female, #irish, #celtic, #mythology, #女キャラ. It has 6 likes, 2 comments, and 37 views.
