Name: Skyla (Britt Robertson)

Age: 17

Profession: Anthropology student

Personality: Stylish, quirky, and intelligent, Skyla is "the whole package" to a lot of guys. She can carry herself around as 'one of the guys' with an interest in video games, sports, and carrying a snarky wit about her that can rival Lewis and Rhys, a personality trait which, along with her attractive physique, makes Skyla butt heads with a lot of girls her age.

Never one for self-pity, Skyla finds herself trying to block out the issues of her own past to become a better person. With an interest in learning about other cultures, gaining self-defense skills, and traveling the world, she makes herself a case as an interesting candidate to fight and earn her place in the group.

Back story: Abandoned by her mother at a young age, Skyla was born with a different name. She lived with a father who resented her and blamed her for his wrecked life. She was abused at home, her father was an angry, volatile drug addict, and through his influence, she fell into the same lifestyle. Looking at herself in the mirror, Skyla realized she did not want to deteriorate into the man she detested, so she ditched the drugs, playing "cold turkey" and running away from home.

Coming up with a new identity and starting over is hard, but Skyla managed; she heard the name from a game she played in her free time and found it quite cool. Now calling herself by the name "Skyla", she got herself an apartment under the pretense of the landlord thinking that she was older than she actually was - luckily for her, her fake ID was quite authentic-looking. Skyla went back to school and graduated with honors, finding interests in geography, mapping, and anthropology in particular.

The multitude of cultures around the world and her eagerness to travel abroad makes Skyla an interesting case. Having won a scholarship for her efforts, Skyla was given the opportunity to travel and do her own studies of the other side of the world. She survived the plane crash from DSS issue 9.

Skyla carries around with her a journal, and tries to interview survivors about their experiences and about their culture. She finds it all so fascinating.

Skyla fears that if she were to ever come across drugs again, she may dive back into the darkness she pulled herself out from. Her skills and interest in other cultures make her a potential mapkeeper and navigator for scouting runs, and her determination to persevere through all of the challenges her life has thrown at her give her potential as a fighter and future soldier.

Her real name is unknown, and sometimes even Skyla likes to think that she doesn't even remember who she was before becoming "Skyla". It is the only identity she cares to acknowledge.
