	Despite not sharing their family's scientific inclinations, Skipper always acts as they deem most “logical” and navigates the world according to their own inner rationale, although their actions might not always seem particularly objective or fact-based to outsiders, especially other Lepterans.

			* Despite growing up having to fend for herself and her siblings/cousins quite often, Skipper is a terrible cook.

	In the Pathfinders' first days on Locus Astra, Skipper quickly found her heart softened by her surroundings: the wide open landscape, the seemingly endless seas, the sun. Although they had arrived to Locus Astra legally, they still imagined themself a hardened criminal—that is, until they heard tell of the ''real'' pirates and far more nefarious individuals who had possibly sneaked aboard. Alone at night in the cabin of their newly fashioned houseboat, the S.V. Sea Skater, rocked to fitful sleep by the waves, Skipper began to reckon with their fears and loneliness. She had felt suffocated on Chitara, smothered by her Lepteran and Carcid family alike; now, alone on the open ocean, with nobody around but intergalactic aristocrats and foreign monsters, she missed that closeness and paradoxical warmth.

	She soon found herself (begrudgingly) enacting many of the lessons she'd spent her life rejecting, and in the first week of the Pathfinding Initiative, Skipper threw herself into community improvement efforts with an almost desperate fervor, unsure exactly what it was she hoped to gain. She sailed, built, farmed, mined, experimented, and tossed countless bottled letters about all of it into the sea, thinking perhaps somehow, by the magical providence of this strange place, they might find their way to Chitara's subterranean shores. Their family would be proud of the altruistic, grounded, ''pragmatic'' young adventurer they were becoming—and that thought was equal parts motivating and utterly revolting.		She soon found herself (begrudgingly) enacting many of the lessons she'd spent her life rejecting, and in the first week of the Pathfinding Initiative, Skipper threw herself into community improvement efforts with an almost desperate fervor, unsure exactly what it was she hoped to gain. She sailed, fished, built, farmed, mined, experimented, and tossed countless bottled letters about all of it into the sea, thinking perhaps somehow, by the magical providence of this strange place, they might find their way to Chitara's subterranean shores. They held a fishing tourney and did countless favors in the desperate hopes of forming connections with these people they resented on principle: intellectuals and socialites, cops and government officials, privileged Lumosian Lepterans they could ''so'' easily pickpocket.

			But they wouldn't. They had a mission. Their family would be proud of the altruistic, grounded, ''pragmatic'' young adventurer they were becoming—and that thought was equal parts motivating and utterly revolting.

	The next thing Skipper remembered was waking with severe decompression sickness and a fistful of blinding light. They soon bottled the strange substance, keeping it close to the chest (literally) in a vial around their neck, although they gave a small portion to their Lepteran family, who were initially repelled by the light, for analysis. In the meantime, Skipper was elected by her community to become a Pathfinder, in the hopes that she would continue to be drawn to the light.
