History:
During the days before the Seven Hours War Skie worked at Black Mesa as a security guard stationed at the Lambda Complex, but she would often hang at other parts of the facility on her time off with Barney Calhoun or she would be assisting Dr. Rosenberg with various tests. Skies employment at Black Mesa started out by a recommendation from her younger sister Tess who wanted to help her big sis get a job and Skie’s ability to handle firearms with ease and safety. Skie also has experience as a hunter and would go hunt on her days off to provide extra food for her and her sister (she also just loves the taste of deer meat). Skie also knew Gordon Freeman a little(just his basic personality and behavior from the times she was hanging out around him and Barney).

When the events of the Resonance Cascade happened Skie helped to defend the scientists at the Lambda labs. At one point when she was defending the scientists she had a close encounter with a HECU marine. Skie and the soldier fought tooth and nail at one point, which ultimately left Skie with a nasty scar on her right eye. After Gordon went through the main portal to Xen Skie was helping the few scientists left escape when she came upon a second Displacer prototype. When she and the scientists started to get it working Skie accidentally pulled the wrong trigger and it Teleported her out of the facility just in the nick of time to escape the nuclear explosion at Black Mesa. When Skie escaped she was teleported with the Displacer by a shot of pure luck into her younger sisters house. 

By the time the Seven Hours War came around Skie and her sister Tess were part of one of the first groups of people that were taken to City 17, and for a while Skie and her sister fared well in the city and stayed out of trouble, until one day… Skie came back to her apartment complex after getting her rations only to find her sister being beaten and carried away by a couple CP units. This triggered Skie into attacking one of the CP’s and causing her to steal his 9mm pistol to try to help her sister, but she was ambushed and knocked unconscious before she could do any further damage to the CP’s. As she blacked out the last thing she ever saw of her dear sister was her bloodied face and body being stuffed into a Combine APC. After this Skie awoke in her apartment room some hours later with a large knot on her head. When her eyes adjusted to the dark room she felt a small piece of paper and read it using the moon light from the window, it read: Skie you probably don't remember me but heed my warning, you must get out of City 17 by dawn. I managed to convince the CP's to allow you to recover, but please leave as soon as you read this. head for the canals and hook up with the railroad from there and make your way to White Forest. Be safe and Godspeed~B.C. So after that incident and heeding the notes message Skie then decided that she had enough of the Combine’s abuse and fled the city via the Underground Railroad following the directions on the note. 

Once out of the city Skie got lost on her way to the White Forest Resistance base and wandered the woods defenseless for a period of 3 days. During those 3 days she managed to avoid Combine detection, and she stumbled upon a dead Overwatch soldier who had an OSIPR rifle with some ammo lying close to his body. After that Skie wandered for another 5 days until she stumbled into a small pack of Antlions (The group may have been small but since skie is one person it became a struggle). The Antlions attacked Skie savagely and she ran out of Ammo in her OSIPR. The antlions beat and slashed on her to the point she was near death, and when Skie was about to pass out a lone Vortigaunt ran out of the woods and killed the remaining Antlions and rescued Skie’s limp body. Skie woke up a few days later at her intended destination, White Forest. 

Skie soon became friends with the Vortigaunt who liked to be called Fawkes. Fawkes was really friendly and was the one to help Skie get a grip on her hurt body as he cared for her as if she was his child. Now Skie stays at White Forest currently acting as a scout. She is often sent out on patrols, perimeter checks, and working as a lookout. During her spare time she likes to tell stories, sing little songs, and even helps out Eli and Kliener at times with their work, and even sketches and draws on some old paper and pencils for fun. Skie also hopes that she will find or see her little sister again. (although her sister was brutally beaten and carried away) and she still has that note with the mysterious initials of B.C.and she hopes to one day find out who wrote that and possibly saved her from a horrible fate and thank him or her in person also sine the author of the note knew her name. 

Equipment: 
A small travel size gun cleaning kit, and a small weapon repair kit. 

Weaponry: 
.357 Magnum revolver, Combat Knife, OSIPR (AR2), SMG, and a SPAS 12 Shotgun she decorated herself.

And here a song just for fun since I like it and Claimed it as one of my and Skie's theme songs^^

Well who is that mysterious B.C.? XD
Well but that encounter with the HECU sounds like an interesting part, i nearly was sure she got that scar from some Xen creatures.
And good that you made the HECU like an Elite Soldier and not some random easy to kill enemy for her.

Shes a really lucky person, nearly died many times but survived it, respect Skie!
