Diana
Diana is Skip's fiancee until Chapter 15. They met three years ago at the university's library. He is running for senator and is the main reason why Diana doesn't want to party crazily in Las Vegas. She says that he wouldn't forgive her if she did something to hurt his reputation and thus his chances. When Main Character asks Diana about the wedding, Diana tells her that instead of a bouquet, she will be holding his family's seaxes -medieval knives with a notched blade- as it's family tradition.

In Chapter 4, he calls Diana to scold her about a video that went viral, where it shows her and her friends chasing a stripper. He tells her that he will get a plane to Las Vegas to bring her back to Connecticut and stop her from making a fool of herself.

According to Diana, he is always disappointed in her and he doesn't believe that she is good enough for him. He arrives near the end of Chapter 8, and chases after your group while you chase after Larry.

In Chapter 15, when Main Character and/or Diana tells him that they had just been kidnapped and were able to escape, he says that if they schedule a primetime interview, Diana's ordeal would be good publicity and give him millions in free campaign advertising. When asked if he cares, he says he cares deeply about economics, international relations, data analytics, and a good pair of khaki pants. When Diana is upset by this and breaks off their engagement, he appears heartbroken, telling her that he wants her to be his "Jackie" (Kennedy) to his "John". She almost fumes at him, saying he is nothing like John F. Kennedy, and returns his engagement ring. He leaves and Diana later mentions that she is happy without him.

In the bonus ending, he reappears in Diana's ending in which he has lost everything and goes to the Doomsday Festival to find himself. There he ends up in the thunderdome arena where Diana is the champion. He tells her that he is a changed man and that he wants her back, but Diana proceeds to show no mercy and beats him up.

Main Character and Friends
He is rude towards the group, and considers them a poisonous influence on Diana, as well as the real reason behind her little lapse in judgment.

In Chapter 3, you notice that Diana doesn't seem very happy when talking about her upcoming wedding. Skip's family is very conservative. Main Character can suggest she get a pre-nup, talk to him, or take a stand before it's too late.
