What is Skye's role in the High School Story series?
What is the physical description of Skye Crandall?
Appearance
Skye is fair-skinned with long red hair and dark blue eyes. In Book 1, she wears a red and black striped shirt with long sleeves, a black short jeans skirt with a belt and fishnet tights, in addition to a black necklace, a bracelet on her left arm and dark lipstick. In Book 2, she wears a black dress with a lace cut-out in the front along with a red bejeweled choker.
Several times in the book Skye is referred to as being "small" - first during Your Character's first bus ride to school where she is introduced in Chapter 1, and again by Rory who uses "small" to describe Skye to Maria during their search in Chapter 10. This hints at Skye having a more petite build. During homecoming, it is hinted that she's not much shorter than you.
Personality
Although she comes off as aloof, this is due to her insecurities and poor homelife due to being abused by her brother and parents. She didn't want anyone to know she was related to Brian given he has a reputation at Berry High as being a terrible person. Unlike her brother, Skye likes doing good things for people and expects nothing in return. She tells your character that she likes doing Tech for the school plays because people can appreciate tech without having to know it was her who did it. Your character can make a comparison between Skye and Robin Hood after Skye slips Emma extra money for her SAT tests. Skye gets phone anxiety, a fact she reveals to your character when she's convincing your character to call Payton to help with Payton and Frank's relationship.
Skye is academically smart as shown in Chapter 9, when she was able to understand and explain Ajay's math assignment despite Ajay being an upperclassman and presumably not taking the same level classes. She also has an exceptional memory: she is the only person in the Theatre who remembered all of The Witch's lines from rehearsals and is able to fill in when Danielle backs out of the play in Chapter 13.
She can be impulsive when upset as shown in Chapter 10, when she attempts to run away. However, it is also shown that Skye can think logically even when in this kind of distress as shown when Ajay points out the flaws in Skye's plan and convinces her not to go through with it.
Skye is very good at reading people as seen in Chapter 12, where she already had Danielle figured out during her and Erin's pep talk with Your Character.

Relationships
Your Character
You first meet Skye on the school bus and sit down next to her. She is also a love interest. If you choose to talk to Skye after her parents leave her at the school to fend for herself, she will confess to being Brian's sister and talk with your character about why she pushes everyone away and wants to keep her head down. You convince Skye to come clean about being Brian's sister to the rest of the Theatre department, which she thanks you for saying she's not being even a little sarcastic in expressing her gratitude. Later at Amber's party, you can choose to spend time with Skye doing random good deeds for the other students at the party including slipping Emma money and setting up a scene with stuffed animals in Amber's room.
During Theatre the next day, Skye takes measurements for your costume, during which Skye starts up a conversation with your character that can lead to a flirty interaction depending on the player's choices.
She goes stag to Homecoming in a dress her mother has picked for her and Your Character and Erin can help her feel more comfortable.
In Chapter 9, it's confirmed Your Character and Skye sit together on the bus everyday. In Chapter 12, Skye is one of the only people in theatre that believes you are innocent of sabotaging Your Character (High School Story)'s audition. In Chapter 13, if Your Character chooses to flirt with her she will stammer and blush, showing that she returns your feelings if being romanced.
You can start romancing Skye in Chapter 15, if you choose to confess your feelings to her. If you do this, the two of you are dating in Book 2, but have yet to make your relationship official.
Ajay
Ajay calls Skye his "Right Hand Woman" in Chapter 10, when the group drives Skye home after her runaway attempt. In Chapter 9, Skye helps Ajay with his math assignments, being the only one in the group able to explain it in a way Ajay understands.
Rory
Rory and Skye don't interact much, but they are shown to get along. Rory drives Skye to and from school when needed such as in Chapter 6, during the tech's work day and in Chapter 8, for homecoming. In Book 2, Rory offers to drive Skye to and from school everyday rather than having her take the bus.
Erin
Skye and Erin are shown to get along rather well. In Chapter 7, when Skye voices her dislike of the dress her mother forced on her Erin comments that she would let Skye switch dresses with her if they were close to the same size. In Chapters 12 and 13, they are in agreement that Your Character was not responsible for the theatre cube accident and spend lunch period cheering Your Character up together.
Brian Crandall
In Chapter 3 of Class Act, it is revealed that Brian is Skye's older brother. However, the two of them do not have a close relationship. She started telling people that they weren't related after he threw a baseball at Myra in High School Story, Book 3. Brian is shown to have no sympathy for Skye as he taunts her when their parents leave her alone after the football game.
Brian is hinted to physically abuse Skye. In Book 2, Chapter 6, Skye tells Your Character that Brian used to push her in the pool a lot. It got to the point where Skye became afraid to be under the water. In Class Act, Book 3, Chapter 2, she gets upset because of Brian harassing Lilith who was the daughter of their parents' business plan to be business partners. Due to that action, she stated that she is her parents' new favorite child much to her dismay and distrust on which Your Character agrees.
Parents
Skye and her parents seem to have a difficult relationship as can be seen in Chapter 3. When she apologizes after being scolded for having ditched her parents during the match, her father says he doesn't believe her and mentions how she sat on the Berry side of the field and not with them. Her parents refuse to take her home and leave in the car together with Brian, leave Skye to find her own way home.
During Homecoming in Chapter 7, Skye tells you that her mother doesn't approve of her clothes, calling them ugly and "Halloween costumes". Her mother has made a Homecoming dress for Skye without telling her and threatened to ground her for a month in case she wouldn't wear it, not caring that Skye felt uncomfortable wearing it.
In Chapter 9, Skye reveals she has to go to an annual company dinner with her parents, which she describes as her least favorite day of the year, and asks you what fake interest you would suggest. She reveals that the family has to act perfect to impress the others at the dinner and are only nice to her when there while treating her poorly at home. However, Skye misses the dinner after helping Ajay with his math study and overstays the night. Her parents walk into the library and scold her for this. Skye finally snaps at them but they take her home. She has not been seen at the theater the next day possibly as a result of this. But you can convince her to come back in Chapter 11.
Skye's parents ditch Skye on the day of the play, making a big deal about how inconvenient it would be for them to go and not showing up at all. This visibly upsets Skye as she was hoping that if she played a lead, they would show interest in something she cared about. However, this is proven false and it affects Skye's mood until you cheer her up before the performance.
In Book 3, Skye's parents turn their attention to her. After Brian's incident with the daughter of potential business partners, they rename Skye as their favorite child much to her dismay and your distrust. When they decide to fund The Tempest: The Musical and the theatre department's trip to London, Skye feels like she has to appease them to keep them happy and help the school. They continue to dismiss her talents, although you can convince them to fund Skye's upgrade to the set design in a premium scene. Eventually though, during a dinner at an expensive restaurant, Skye blows up at them for all the two-faced lies.
In Chapter 12, they go to London and watch Berry's production of The Tempest, admitting to their mistakes and asking Skye for forgiveness. It is your choice to tell Skye whether or not to accept their apologies and repair their relationship.
Lilith Vidal
Lilith is an alternate love interest for Skye if she isn't dating Your Character. They first met during a dinner with both their parents where Brian hit on Lilith. You can encourage Skye and Lilith in a premium scene. If you don't encourage them the first time, you get another, final chance to set them up in Chapter 13 in a premium scene. If neither scene is taken, Skye doesn't have the courage to talk to her.
Trevor
Trevor and Skye are both Techs for the theatre kids, they seem to work well together. Trevor mentions in Chapter 10, that they need Skye in order to start building the set and in Chapter 11, Trevor and Skye discuss the lighting before rehearsal. Trevor offers to take over Skye's job in Chapter 13, so she can fill in for Danielle as The Witch in the school play.
Mia
Skye and Mia bond briefly at homecoming. Mia notices that Skye is Brian's sister and sympathizes with her due to her own experiences with Max as her older brother. Mia also gives Skye tips on how to act more confident in the dress she hates. In Book 2, Chapter 11, Mia and Sydney will tell Your Character that if she sees Skye to tell her to hang out with them. They complement Skye's hair and clothes while talking to Your Character.
Danielle
Despite never interacting on screen, the two are hinted at not getting along. In Chapter 10, when Skye runs away, Danielle doesn't offer to help look for her and makes an off-handed comment about how she wouldn't just disappear like Skye did. In Chapter 12, Skye expresses her dislike of Danielle to Your Character saying that Danielle is an immature brat. She also expresses that Danielle is only acting out because of her jealousy and won't believe Your Character if she tries to convince Danielle she's not interested in Rory.
Mrs. Silva
Rory introduces his/her mother to Skye on the night of the play. Mrs. Silva, hearing that Skye's parents ditched her, offers to be there for Skye until her parents come to their senses. In Book 2, there is a premium scene in Chapter 2, where Mrs. Silva hugs Skye when she sees Skye had come with the others to see the taped play performance, referring to her as her "favorite witch".
