Joanna Beauchamp, or Skadi of the Vanir, is one of the main characters of Melissa de la Cruz'Beauchamp Family series. The mother of three children, Ingrid, Freya and Freddie, she is the most loving and protective member of the Beauchamp family.
Physical appearance[]
Joanna Beauchamp is described as an attractive women with gray hair, a wrinckled face and a slender figure, except for the "tire around her belly", as she likes to call it, which no diet has been able to eliminate. But this appearance of hers can shift: due to her divine nature, as Skadi, the Mother Goddess from Norse myths, Joanna's appearance at maturity is always the one of a woman in her early sixties except she actually has to give birth to her children.
Whenever Ingrid and Freya, or Freddie in the past, were killed or had to give up on their life for a time, Joanna's body would suddenly age back: her gray hair would turn into a bright blond again, her wrinckles would vanish and so would the fat in her cheeks, and her arthritis pain would heal in the blink of an eye. And though Joanna loves to see herself in this appearance of a young beautiful woman, before she can even start to enjoy it, her belly would grow and the symptoms of her pregnancy would show again: nausea, exhaustion, etc.
Back in the days of Asgard, when Joanna was a young Goddess, her beauty was such that she attracted many male Gods - and among her many suitors were Njord and Odin, the King of the Gods. Her beauty could rival the one of her own daughter, Freya, the Goddess of Love.
