Skyla Redfeather

Skyla, often called Pinky, is a member of the Omeganauts and one of the major NPCs in the Shadowrun arc.

Personality
Congenial and confident, Skyla makes friends easily. Although she generally gets along well with others, she doesn’t shy away from confrontation when she feels it is necessary. She expresses her opinions freely and values honesty in others.

History
Little is known about Skyla’s history beyond that she was pulled from her home universe into the pocket dimension Now Here by Grandiferate Smalls, who sought to form a group modeled after the Infiniteers to assist in saving the multiverse. Prior to her introduction in the story, she and her team ran several successful missions.

Shadowrun
Skyla enters the story right after the Infiniteers arrive in the Shadowrun world. She is in the bar where Thayne is meeting with the Mr. Johnson, whom the Omeganauts have pegged as having information related to the Celestial Shard. She and Thayne confront each other about which of them should be able to make the deal. A bar fight breaks out, and Skyla calls for backup. Xavier and Bram enter, but when Xavier recognizes Issac, he halts the fight.

The two teams head to Issac’s apartment to talk. Although Skyla trusts Xavier, she feels her team’s track record speaks for itself and that they are more than capable of accomplishing their goal on their own. Nonetheless, she is willing to follow Xavier’s lead, but after a couple disputes, the teams decide to part ways and work separately. They agree to stay in communication since they are working toward a common goal.

The Omeganauts travel to Houston, where they learn that AresSpace has one of the pieces of the Celestial Shard. They are approached by Tieg, who is using the name Mack the Knife and claims to be a friend of the Infiniteers. The Omeganauts agree to work with Tieg’s team to infiltrate the facility and steal the Shard, but before they can enact their plan, the Infiniteers arrive and reveal Tieg’s true identity.

Tieg’s team departs, and the Omeganauts and the Infiniteers decide to follow through with the same plan. Skyla goes with a few of the others to steal some new transportation, and then the following day, they head to AresSpace.

Skyla is part of the second group to enter, posing as scientists in hopes that their presence won’t be questioned. They succeed in acquiring the shard, but they are apprehended at the last minute. With a great deal of fast-talking, and with the support of Edwin Wright’s clout and Issac’s and Dugan’s hacking skills, they escape.

When the rest of the group departs, Skyla and Bram decide to stay behind with Dugan, who was gravely hurt while in the Matrix. Unfortunately, the dragon Lucero Ka kidnaps the three Omeganauts from the hospital where Dugan was taken. While in the dragon’s compound, Skyla meets and develops a rapport with Dax, and she is eventually able to convince him that the dragon is evil.

The Infiniteers eventually trigger into the compound to rescue their imprisoned compatriots, who run out to meet them. Lucero Ka attempts to intercede, but he is weakened from a fight with another dragon, and the newly-empowered Thayne defeats him.

Physical Appearance
Skyla is an elf in her home world, and she states that where she comes from, people only have four fingers. Presumably, she is blonde like she is in the Shadowrun universe, but she has yet to be seen outside of that setting.

Shadowrun
While in the world of Shadowrun, Skyla is a human, much to her chagrin. She expresses disappointment at the loss of her pointy ears, but she marvels at the addition of a fifth finger on each hand. Her wild blonde hair is styled with many braids. She is dressed in black leather clothing and wears metal cuffs on her wrists.

Xavier Hondo
Although Skyla seems to have a good working relationship with all of the Omeganauts, she is closest to Xavier. The two have an excellent rapport with each other, and they obviously have a great deal of respect for and trust in each other.

Skyla tells Kirin that Xavier is a “fine man,” and she admits to Kirin that she has tried to attract his romantic interest, but to no avail. Kirin suggests to her that she lacks the equipment to play Xavier’s game. Skyla pivots with minimal disappointment, and she supports Xavier’s interest in Issac going forward. She expresses frustration at Xavier and Issac’s ongoing quarrel, saying that Xavier is acting a little childish and that “if he likes a man, he should just tell him.”

Quotes
“You’re gonna regret this the rest of your life, laddie. Both minutes of it.”

Trivia

 * Skyla’s shadowrunner alias, Pinky, comes from the fact that she has pinky fingers in that world, whereas in her own she only has four per hand. The nickname catches on, and from then on she tends to be called Pinky more often than Skyla.
