personality -
To anybody that doesn't know Skylar, she seems the same as any slightly moody teenage girl though this is recent. She isn't what one would classify as a people person but she isn't a complete anti-social person either. The brunette is simply a calm, relaxed individual. Though she seems to have a short tolerance for people and their antics. Getting easily annoyed or underwhelmed by what others may see as exciting and once in a life time opportunities. Skylar also doesn't take well with authority and has a very short list of people whom she actually respects. She isn't afraid to voice her opinions or be blunt about something no matter if it is negative or positive in nature.
To anybody that does know Sky, however, she is a different creature. The few employees she has met before likened her to more of a predator then a person. Like the island rubbed off on her. Incurably stubborn in her ways with a habit of having to learn the hard way, Sky is a bright out-spoken young women who is also a talented actress when she feels like it or the need presents itself. She has practiced observational skills and can generally read people's intentions, emotions and motives pretty well. She still doesn't do well with authority and has little respect for most people as a general rule of thumb, with having only about a handful of people she may actually consider giving her respect to. Having co-organized several attacks on people that trespassed onto Isla Sorna or acted as a spy of sorts injecting herself into the group of trespassers, Sky can seem to have quite the backwards, twisted morals to most outsiders. Coming off as apathetic, numb, sadistic and inhuman. Yet this thinking could not be farther from the truth. The brunette teen is actually a genuinely compassionate person who is protective of the island and it's inhabitants. She views them as her family, and simply places them over the trespassers to their island even if those trespassers are her own species.
history -
Born in the East Coast of the United States of America, Skylar Truesdale lived the normal life of a single child to a pair of parents. But this child was anything but normal. From a very young age Sky's parents found she had a deep seated attraction for prehistoric creatures. While it was at first assumed to be a phase and then just a possible tomboy thing, the girl's family found out quite the opposite by the time she was eight years old. Not that this bothered her family. In fact the Teuesdales did all they could to encourage their daughter's interest in the extinct lizards. It was by happy luck that, eventually, a Dinosaur-themed contest presented by one John Hammond caught a teenage Skylar's attention. Thus leading, in turn, to the teen's employment offer for Mr. Hammond's new theme park themed after the mighty creatures that once roamed the earth. A park to be known as Jurassic Park.
But there was some fine print to the job which Skylar eagerly accepted. Skylar Truesdale was hired by John Hammond for a top secret project of his personal interest, and based it on Isla Sorna. The project? Skylar was given five eggs with the duty of caring for and then raising the hatchlings that popped out of them. The catch? Two were Spinosaurus Eggs, one was a Tyrannosaur Egg and the other two were Velociraptor Eggs. The intention was too see if the three different species could be raised together in the same setting as a family. Skylar proved the theory right and raised the five carnivores together after the hatchlings imprinted on her effectively making the teen their mother-figure. And each other siblings. However, during InGen's storming of the island these five dinosaurs were among those taken and experimented on by the genetics company's scientist. Their caretaker not seen or heard from again after that day. At least until now a year later....
It was all meant to be routine...when InGen last came to Isla Sorna. Things sure started off normal enough and the members of Sky's family separated to handle the humans who had come to their island. Unfortunately this time would prove to be anything but routine. InGen had done the one thing they were never expected to do.....learned from their past mistakes and the experiances of others on the island. As such they ended up targeting the dinosaurs which Skylar raised. By the time Sky realized this though it was too late, InGen was already dealing with her family and she arrived to late to stop them. It was during this time that Sky was accidently shot in the thigh by one of the genetics company's men. Skylar would wake up later in a hospital back on the mainland having undergone surgery to remove the bullet leaving a scar of today on her thigh. Since waking up after that day Skylar has had Dissociative Amnesia regarding anything that has to do with Jurassic Park or her time spent with the Dinosaurs on Isla Sorna. The memories deeply repressed to cope with having failed and lost her family which she blames herself for. Her thoughts automatically thinking each member of her pack was killed for her miscall qnd underestimating their enemy.
With her having just turned eighteen, Skylar's parents have sent her to Isla Sorna hoping that returning to the island will help their daughter somehow.
skills and abilities (Dinosaurs explain your traits here and only up to three max) -
Despite her recent coming into legal adulthood Skylar is skilled in certain unlikely areas. The teen has loved Dinosaurs, with a particular fascination in carnivores, since a tender age. Her own interest, plus as a former employee of InGen raising said animals, has made her deceptively knowledgeable regarding the land and sky-based prehistoric creatures. She also knows the most vulnerable vital points of the human body, and basic medical first aide treatments. Also Skylar knows and understands Morse Code, having learned it after realizing she could use it to communicate with the Velociraptor Pack due to similarities between the code and the sounds the predators used as a language. In addition to her extensive knowledge, the teen knows the island itself just as well as the native inhabitants after having to live there alone for three years alongside them. Aside from her impressive knowledge, Skylar is also talented in combat. Having raised a group predators and then become Alpha Female of a Raptor Pack, the brunette is skilled in hand to hand combat and has three years of practiced reflexes and honed instincts in fighting. She is also stronger physically then she appears, nowhere near the strength of Hybrids but enough that she gained from spending three years wrestling with Velociraptors. Sky is able to pin down those more physically imposing then herself, as well as deliver a good solid kick or punch to her opponent enough to incapacitate them for a short time. Her preferred method of fighting is with knives and there is always one somewhere hidden on her person just in case. However the girl can improvise if she has no other alternative. Though she has never used a live firearm before, the teen has played paintball through her teenage years. She has decent enough marksmen skills to make her a threat in combat.

relationships -
Jeff Rossiter - NCP
doesn't remember him/cautious neutralThe current head of Biology Synthetics Technologies Incorperated, or BioSyn as it is better known as, Jeff Rossiter is aquainted with Skylar. These two have a very tense cautious relationship based around opportunity. Two years after being hired, the head of InGen's rival company got into contact with Skylar to offer her a preposition. Rossiter had just taken over the genetics company and 'heard' rumors about a human possibily staying on Isla Sorna among the native inhabitants there. When he contacted Sky, it was to offer her a position to leave InGen and work for him instead. The meeting ended with the firl stating she didn't work for InGen, but for John Hammond. With the company head saying that his offer still stood, Skylar left saying she had to think about it due to the rumors of the company's less then tastefull reputation themselves. She has yet to get back to Rossiter.
Dr. Henry Wu - NCP
doesn't remember him/negativeDoctor Henry Wu was one of John Hammond's employees and is the current chief genetic engineer at InGen. He also happens to be the one that created and gave Skylar her eggs when Hammond recruited her four years ago. Right away Sky didn't like the scientist. She couldn't explain why at the time but something just never seemed to sit right about him for the girl. The brunette warned Wu at the time the eggs hatched to stay away from her hatchlings, and keep his instruments just as far from them. For three years Wu apparently headed her warning despite InGen's attempts on the island and other incidents. That is up until last year...
John Hammond -
deceased, NCP
doesn't remember him/positiveThe late founder and first CEO of InGen, John Hammond was Skylar's employer and the one responsible for giving her the eggs which would later hatch into her pack. The pair had a very tight relationship. They were what one would call kindred spirits. The elderly millionaire having been noted to treat Sky as if she were his own grandaughter, despite having two of his own actually related grandchildren by his daughter.Sky looked up to the man, him being one of the very few authority figures whom the brunette held genuine respect and loyalty for. She took the task of raising and protecting the dinosaurs he gave into her care very seriously. This was how the teen gained the nickname of "John Hammond's Pet" by InGen members who'd seen them interact with each other.
Dorain Hoskinsnot yet knownSkylar has yet to meet Dorain. Kind of hard to form an opinion of someone you never met before.
Miracledoesn't remember her/positiveSkylar found Miracle as an abandoned egg on the island and took it back to the pack's nesting ground at the InGen Compound. She cared for the female Velociraptor's egg, eventually hatching it. She then raised the little Raptor hatchling with the pack. Needless to say that Sky is very protective of Miracle. She doesn't seem to mind the female calling her 'Mommy' either. In fact the human embraces the role of mother with the young Raptor from accepting her new name, to how she treats the two year old brunette.
Caspiandoesn't remember him/positive Partners. There are very few ways this relationship can be better described as. Sky is the only human who shows no fear of the Alpha Male. In fact while respectful of the boundaries of her other hatchlings, all that totally goes out the window with her oldest. The girl has no problem what so ever purposefully pushing every button and hitting every nerve just right to get a reaction, and the one she wants at that, out of the apex predator. Even beyond what his siblings are willing. She claims nobody knows the Raptor better then she does, and nobody knows her like him in return. She is fully confidant in her abilities to match or beat the other alpha. Despite all this though there is no doubt the girl has a connection to the Velociraptor male that is different then the ones she shares with her other hatchlings. The teen displays levels of determination, patience, affection and understanding towards the male that appears to be more so then that which she has for the others. She knows he is a handful but ignores it saying it is part of what makes him him. The two alphas work well together with the brunette adapting herself to fit to the male instead of trying to force him to adapt to her in a situation. She finds things work out better that way and the results are much more productive in the end. Sky has complete trust in the male as well as his capabilities when they are provoked. Skylar is constantly calling him Casper, only ever calling him by his full name under serious circumstances. Well she calls him that when not calling the Alpha Male 'Idiot' anyway due to frustration or teasing.
Veridiandoes not remember her/positiveVeridian has many names in Sky's book including everything from 'Breath of fresh air' to the more simple name of her 'good hatchling'. Skylar has always considered herself and the female Velociraptor very close, 'best friend' being quite possibly the most frequently used name describing the beta. The teen may have been the one raising the clutch, but it is Veridian whom Skylar credits as the reason she was able to raise the family as she was in the first place. Having another female around as a buffer to the more rowdy nerve-testing males certainly helped more then the hybrid realizes. The female Velociraptor was always the one whom the brunette found she could go to and simply rant her heart content out to. It felt to the teen that, even if what she was saying wasn't something the speedy theif understood, she still listened to the human. Sky found comfort in her close female to female bond with Veridian. Like there was always someone to talk to regardless of the conversation topic....someone she could always count on. A Confidante. She knows she can, and does, place her total trust in the beta's capabilities to help lead the pack. The teen knows Veridian holds herself to high standards and does her best to achieve said standards, even to the point of being overly critical of herself in the process. She tries to help the female with this keeping remedying these criticisms by pointing them out when they occur, before reassuring with logic and advice. Sky shows great affection towards Veridian, along with indulgence and respect towards her independence while keeping her in the back of her head keeping tabs at a distance. This way she can still act if needed as a safety blanket or net without hindering the female Raptor or changing her personality.
Riverdoesn't remember him/positiveThough the largest of the island carnivores and despite Miracle, River is Skylar's 'baby'. At least he is chronologically since he was among the last in the clutch of eggs to hatch. Oddly though Sky found quickly that it was River who was the most mature and patient among her hatchlings. This lead to the girl easing up on the male and giving him more free reign to do as he pleased once he was able to hunt for himself. She has great trust and confidance in the Spinosaurus's capabilities and judgements. Perhaps this free reign early on also spolied the dinosaur a bit, but the brunette doesn't see it like that. She still spoils the male by readily finding excuses for his actions, often times sighting it as his right much like the hybrid himself does thus feeding into them more. Sky has never denied the large predator anything and doesn't see the point in starting now. Particularly when, in her eyes, there is no need to.
AshleypositiveDespite knowing next to nothing about Ashley, Skylar still calls the Dilophosaurus Hybrid her friend. She got a good feeling about the red head female right away upon their first, though accidental, meeting. There are a few curious things she has noticed about her new friend but connects them to perfectly normal explanations. That or doesn't bother delving into someone's personal life unless wanted. To Sky Ashley, whom the human teen has dubbed 'Di' for her dichromatic yellow and green eyes and the fact she doesn't actually know the young women's name yet, is a lot like a little sister. Even with the fact that she is apparently older then the human teen at twenty-one compared to her eighteen. The human is quick to defend and stand up for the female hybrid. She has no idea it's possibly due to subconscious recognition that Ashley is, not just a dinosaur, but a species whom is relative to the Velociraptor. Skylar has subconcioualy taken the Dilophosaurus under her wing and accepted her into the pack.
Maximus Threstledoesn't remember him/neutralSkylar has met Maxi before, in fact he is one of the very few that know any real information on her family and her. She has never had an issue with him before, but keeps him at arms length and an eye weary.
Tempestcautious positive/neutralSkylar first met Tempest shortly after she met Ashley, actually she was the second Hybrid she met as they met the same day. Despite knowing next to nothing about the water-based predator and Tempest's reputation with the other hybrids, Skylar is actually rather fond of the female Mosasaurus. Though weary it stems from the fact that Tempest likes to challenge the brunette teen's status as Alpha Female, so she feels. Though friendly and protective with the hybrid and considering her as a friend, the girl can go from friend to putting Tempest in her place with or without previous provocation in a blink of an eye. Then back again to being friends without issue. Sky has subconciously accepted the female as part of the pack.
Wyatt Hoskinsnot yet knownNever met Wyatt Hoskins. Kind of hard to form an opinion on someone you have never met.
Eli Millsnot yet knownSkylar has never met Eli. She doesn't have an opinion of him as of yet.
Spiritnot yet knownThe two have never met. Hard to form an opinion if they have never met before.
