Sky is Aida's closest friend and a member of her team. After saving Aida's life six years prior to the events of the first game, she convinces her father to let Aida stay in their camp, setting the stage for the events to come. While she is initially weak and incapable of self-defense, over the course of the games she grows into a mature and independent young woman who is more than able to stand up for herself and defend the people she cares about.
Appearance & Customization[]
Chapter 1[]
Sky appears very similar to her father, with long brown hair that she keeps in a messy high ponytail and beige-tan skin. She wears a brown tube top, black pants, long olive green gloves, a thin black choker, and small silver hoop earrings. When not fighting or startled, she holds her hands in front of her chest. Her appearance in this chapter cannot be customized or changed.
Chapter 2[]
Starting in this chapter, Sky's hairstyle can be customized on starting the game. There are three options available:
- "Original", the default, which is the same messy high ponytail as in Chapter 1.
- "Innocent", a pair of short braids with a stray wisp over her left eye.
- "Lady", a wavy low ponytail draped over her left shoulder with a portion pulled across the left side of her face.
Sky also receives a new outfit: a pale green dress in the Ildisian style, over which she wears a thick white scarf draped around her shoulders, a white belt with pouches (presumably for alchemical reagents) and a white glove set with a large red gem.
When fighting, Sky raises her free hand; electricity will gather around her hands and forearms. Otherwise, she will fold her hands in front of her.
Chapter 3[]
Sky retains all of her other hairstyles from the previous chapter, with the addition of a new default style: "Sleepless", in which Sky's hair is worn loose and messy over her shoulders.
Sky's outfit in this chapter is similar to her outfit from Chapter 2, albeit with some modifications: the green dress becomes a top with a half-skirt and an open chest crossed by straps, she wears white pants, and her scarf hangs slightly lower. In the final scene, her top is exchanged for an identical black one and she bears an Eagles tattoo on her left shoulder.
Sky's default pose changes drastically in this chapter; she leads to one side in a sassy attitude. Her makeup is also changed from a defined cat-eye to a smudged shadow. Her overall demeanor, especially with her default hairstyle, is far more confident and self-assured than her original appearance in Chapter 1, reflecting her development and growth as a person.
Personality[]
Sky begins the story as an unsure young woman, only beginning to define a personality of her own. In attempting to separate her identity from her father's, she has moved towards Aida instead and appears to be trying to emulate her mother, even dreaming of becoming a master thief. Her reasons for initially pursuing the Old Kingdom align with this, seeming to come more from the fact that it was something her mother did than from any personal interest.
When Aida "dies" at the end of Chapter 1, Sky is devastated. Having just suffered the death of everyone else she was close to, Aida was her only remaining "family" and her only link to the people she had lost. Losing Aida forces her to become her own person much faster than she was prepared to and leaves her with emotional scars, scars which are reopened by Aida's sudden reappearance in Ildis. Though she lashes out initially, once her anger breaks she is glad that Aida is alive. They quickly fall back into their old relationship, with Sky now embracing a more active role in combat and in the team.
Chapter 3, however, reveals the limits and toxicity of Sky and Aida's bond. Sky is no longer unsure or insecure in the same way she once was, and since Aida didn't get to see that growth she still treats Sky as if she needs protecting. This conflict comes to a head in Adeshia, with Aida unable to accept Sky's feelings for Diego or the fact that Sky is capable of making her own bad decisions. In the end, Sky uses the strength she's found to stand up to Aida, asserting herself as an independent person and completing her evolution as a character.
Story[]
Chapter 1
It starts off with Aida Ethelind Fairbairn and Sky in the Nifty Fox Inn in Davenside, pulling the "drunken fight" trick to steal some money. The two girls return to the camp, where Sky retires to the tent to read through her mother's journals. She finds information about a "hidden temple" in Ionmarsh that contains part of a map to the Old Kingdom, which she begs Aida to search for with her. Early in the morning, the two sneak out and begin their quest. Sky spots something moving in the bushes and is terrified, but soon learns that it's only a rabbit. The two make their way to Ionmarsh, and find a ruined temple like the one mentioned in the journals. Sky finds a switch on the wall of the temple and flips it, revealing a room with an old queen statue. After Aida activates the secret tunnel, the two move into the second room. Sky begins to despair when the second room seems to be a dead end. However, Tillie and Zander enter and Tillie points out the map etched on the floor. Sky suggests the two duos team up to look for the Old Kingdom, and they all agree and head back to camp to rest. On the journey, Sky learns a little bit about poisonous arrows from Tillie. However, once she reaches the camp, she panics when she sees that they have been attacked and the other residents have perished. Sky immediately runs to her tent, where her father is lying dead. She cradles his head and cries, and when Aida enters she asks to be alone for a while. Aida mentions that the journals have been stolen, which shocks Sky since she does not believe anyone else knows of them. Eventually, she exits the tent, resolved to get the journals back. The group agrees to go to Northcliff and have Aida infiltrate the Eagles, the group that Zander and Tillie believe are responsible for the murders and theft. The group arrives in Northcliff. Sky waits in the Fragile Falcon's Inn with Zander and Tillie as Aida begins her hunt for the Eagles. When she hears a fight outside the inn, Sky and the rest of the group run out. She then meets Jace, who she immediately does not trust. When Tillie learns that Jace has ruined Aida's plan to infiltrate the Eagles, she and Zander leave to save her, leaving Sky behind. After their escape, the party regroups. After some discussion, the entire party leaves for the Crimson River, where Diego is taking the journals. At the river, the group finds Diego's hideout in a dilapidated castle. Sky helps Tillie occupy the outside guards, while Aida goes in for the journals. Sky is left outside while Tillie goes into the building to help. When the group exits again the building collapses and Aida is not with them. Sky asks where Aida is, and begins to cry when she realizes she was left behind.
Relationships[]
- Aida: Aida is Sky's best friend who met one each other when Sky and her father found Aida injured on the ground in the woods, near death. Since being saved by Tahn, Aida has lived with Sky and her fellow thieves in a camp not far from a city, developing a close kinship with one another over the six years that Aida was with her camp. After the death of her fellow camp members, Sky continuously tries to keep Aida safe, begging her not to die and scolding her when she does something reckless, as she cannot afford to lose Aida as well. When Sky is reunited with Aida in chapter 2, she is furious and actually shocks Aida with her enchanted item. However, Sky seems to forgive her relatively quickly, and the two are still close, but Aida and Sky begin to develop more independently from one another. In Chapter 3, It's mentioned in Kole's love confession that Aida checks on Sky every night before she goes to sleep, and listens to her when she cries. In addition, a Kaleik fortune teller tells Aida that although Sky has lost much, she still cares deeply for Aida and worries over her often. Close to the end of Chapter 3, when it is discovered that Sky and Diego have developed a sort of tentative relationship, Aida is visibly worried. She confronts Sky and the two argue about the pairing, showing that even though she and Sky had been growing independent since Chapter 2, Aida is still a little reluctant to let her friend make her own choices. Whatever character Aida decided to bring with her to the fake slave transaction at Queen Calida's palace will warn her about being too controlling of Sky, but she becomes angry and defensive, unwilling to let go. However, at the end of Chapter 3, it seems more like she's willing to let Sky grow and the two remain strong friends.
- Mathilda Deagret Stormbrow: Tillie and Sky became friends when they saved Aida from an incubus in the ruins in Ionmarsh, they had both decided that they would travel together. She was also the one to get Sky to practice alchemy. Tillie and Sky have formed a very close friendship in the year Aida was missing. Sky and Tillie tended to gang up on Aida from time to time, mostly regarding boys, showing how much their relationship has developed since the beginning.
- Diego: At the beginning of Chapter 1, Diego and Sky had a very rocky start on their relationship as Diego was the one who murdered Tahn (Sky's father) and friends. However, at the end of chapter 2 and beginning of chapter 3, it is shown that Aida and her group (Sky included) have allied with the Eagles, as they are on the same side. Throughout Chapter 3, it is shown that Diego and Sky's relationship has greatly improved, which is hinted when Diego carries Sky to her room after she falls down drunk. Near the end of the chapter 3, Sky is revealed to be in love with who has kissed Diego, though she attempts to deny her feelings and even argues about it with Aida. She even bakes for Diego and the Eagles occasionally. It's unknown whether or not he returns Sky's feelings, though it is greatly hinted he does since he blushed when speaking to her multiple times, reacts very calmly to her (though he tends to react more aggressively with others) and called her his girlfriend (even as a cover up). He gave Sky a necklace and he was close to Sky's mother as Sky's mother was a member of The Eagles (Sky's mother was once a thief). In the ending scene, Sky stands next to Diego with an eagle tattoo and black dress, indicating that Sky is currently an Eagle member.
- Kole: Sky isn't very sociable or shows much respect for him, since he is a part of the eagles. She describe him for being creepy and a stalker, and tells him to stay away from her. When later Sky and the co. arrives at the kaleik camp, Sky is furious and blames him for not protecting her best friend. At the end she seems to have it fine with him.
Trivia[]
- Sky loves baked goods like bread and cookies, and is also quite good at baking for others (though usually there is some implied romance if she bakes for a specific person, as the case with Jalen and Diego).
- Sky likes the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning.
- In Chapter 2, Jace calls Sky "Tears" due to the fact that she is always crying. Sky's constant crying is a running gag in the series, as Aida notes it again when Sky is crying at Tillie's wedding, to which Sky is not too happy about. "It's a happy occasion!"
- Sky's mother was originally part of The Eagles.
- Sky has a preference for gloves.
- Sky's favorite color is green.[1]
- On the alchemy table in Chapter 3, Aida notes that Sky is a fan of Menensia flowers and that she often carries around a bottle of herbal oil with her.
Quotes[]
- [About her Father] Sky: "I didn't say anything to him... I just sneaked out. He died wondering where I was... maybe he was worried... This is all my fault." Aida: "Yeah, I hardly think you're capable of killing two skilled thieves, a humongous mercenary and a talented alchemist by yourself. It was the Eagles who killed these guys...not you." Sky: "No, I didn't mean to...I blamed him, Aida. For my mother's death, and he knew that...he died knowing I always blamed him. And I can't just forget about this. I just can't let this one go. When you lose someone... like this.I keep thinking to myself. Wondering if things would be different, if only I could say the things I never did. Aida: "Would you really feel better if you could say the things you never did?" Sky: "I guess now I'll never know."[2]

- [Sky to Aida in Chapter 1 (if you bought new clothes) Sky: Zander has been checking out your new outfit out... how to say... very intensely. Aida:Maybe he has very good taste in clothes. Sky:Then i have to say, he is particularly interested in the back of your pants.
