Biography

Before Terra Nova

Skye's father was in the army and she wanted to grow up to be just like him. She would often dress up like him by wearing a bucket on her head and prancing around thus earning her the affectionate nickname, "Bucket".

At Terra Nova

Skye arrived on the Fifth Pilgrimage and spent the later years of her childhood at Terra Nova. There was an outbreak of Sincyllic Fever approximately three years before the current timeline. Skye's father died from it during that outbreak and her mom caught it as well. Her mom was moved to the Sixers' camp as they are the only ones with medicine, and Nathaniel Taylor became her guardian.

As a teenager, Skye lives in a house with Tasha, Max and Hunter. Together they are rather rebellious, and aren't afraid to go "outside the gates" of the Colony.

She met Josh Shannon for the first time at the market shortly after he arrived on the Tenth Pilgrimage, and the two quickly became attracted to each other.

Skye has a medical internship with Josh's mother, Elisabeth Shannon.

It is revealed that Skye is the Sixers' spy and the Sixers are holding her mother, alive but still sick from Sincyllic Fever, as leverage as they are the only ones with the medicine. ("Now You See Me")

Relationships

Josh Shannon: Skye met Josh soon after he arrived at Terra Nova and seemed eager to show him around. The two took a liking to each other and quickly began spending a lot of time together, in and outside of the Colony. When the two finally shared their first kiss, Josh reluctantly admitted he still had feelings for Kara, his girlfriend in 2149. Skye agreed to help Josh get Kara to Terra Nova.

Nathaniel Taylor: Skye does her best not to disappoint Taylor, but when she disobeyed the rules of the Colony, he seemed indifferent toward her. She lied to him about venturing near the waterfall (where the mysterious markings were found). However, when he replied "good" in reference to not going near the waterfall, it indicated that they were both hiding something.

Hunter Boyce: Skye and Hunter both came on the fifth pilgrimage. She has always thought of him as the only family she has left -- as a brother -- following the alleged death of her parents. Hunter's interest in Skye is more romantic, but he acknowledged that she is in love with Josh.

Lucas Taylor : Skye doesn't like him very much, but it seems that he likes her. He has on multiple occasion stroke her cheek. During this time Skye looks uncomfortable. She has also betrayed him twice once when she warned Taylor about his plans. The other was when she set him up for an ambush. She also shot him twice during Occupation-Resistance, but she didn't kill him.

Personality

• Skye is a thrill-seeker and doesn't mind living life on the edge. She is a natural leader and is good at taking charge and making decisions under stress, to which she credits these attributes to her father.

• Skye can also be independent, but still turns to Taylor for guidance. (Genesis)

• Despite her mental and physical toughness, Skye misses having a family and the connections they can bring. She became very jealous of seeing Josh's parents worried about his well-being, and when they showed affection towards each other. She later scolded Josh after he was complaining about his father, even though the two act very alike.

Trivia

• Skye came to Terra Nova on the same pilgrimage as Malcolm Wallace, Hunter Boyce and Mark Reynolds.
