Skye lore

Hey everyone,

Just to clarify the Lore of Valorant is based on the community finding hidden secrets while investigating voice lines and game artifacts/objects that from a closer look reveal details which pieced together reveal the story in the background. (confirmed by multiple developers)That being said, here’s my take on who exactly Skye is and what she can do.

// SKYE BIOGRAPHY

"Hailing from Australia, Skye and her band of beasts trail-blaze the way through hostile territory. With her creations hampering the enemy, and her power to heal others, the team is strongest and safest by Skye’s side." (official description)

HER PACK

Based on her voice lines and her Biography she has her own unique animal pack:

  • "Not used to working with humans just me and my pack... I guess its worse if you guys get shot ye"
  • "time to mobilize my pack"

She has a total of 3 Pack animals:

  • A Hawkofficially called "Hawko" in its gun buddy.(The hawk is representing a Brown Goshhawk told to us in an interview from Valorant‘s senior game designer "Max Grossman"(The brown goshawk (Accipiter fasciatus) is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae found in Australia and surrounding islands.))
  • A Tasmanian TigerQ - TRAILBLAZER-EQUIP a Tasmanian tiger trinket. FIRE to send out and take control of the predator. While in control, FIRE to leap forward, exploding in a concussive blast and damaging directly hit enemies.(The last known live animal was captured in 1933 in Tasmania in the real world. It is commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger because of its striped lower back)
  • JellyfishHer Ultimate ability called Seekers spawns 3 of them and by inspecting their movement they move like jellyfish furthermore some Australian Jellyfish have 4 circles on their head... much like the seekers themselves.

About her pack animals... Based on her biography: "her creations" and a voice lines where she references woodworking

  • Remember everyone... If we survive woodworking class tonight in the mess hall. Nimble hands nimble minds.

and while checking the game files her trinkets {EQUIP a Seeker trinket, EQUIP a Tasmanian tiger trinket, EQUIP a healing trinket, EQUIP a hawk trinket} are called totems and she has 3 of them.In the game files they are called:

  • A hawk totem
  • A Wolf totem
  • A plant totem

While inspecting these 3 totems and how her she activates them we can see that the totems are made by her from wood and have unique carvings as well as a few additional substances such as moss for the Tasmanian Tiger totem and bird feathers for the hawk totem etc... to activate them Skye user her "Radiant" powers to infuse the totems and give them a full form.

SKYE PERSONALITY

Riot Max Grossman described Skye as an **"Australian eco-warrior"**Referenced by the many plant figures she has on her body as well as her unique numbers she has on her back and arms:161211420 on her arms and on her back means "plant"(alphabet numbers where 1 means A and 2 means B....)

16=p 12=l 1=a 14=n 20=t

And based on a few of her voice lines:

  • "Not used to working with humans... usually just me and my pack... gues its worse if you guys get shot ye"
  • “time to hunt"
  • "I've got your trail"
  • "Hah wild"

we can assume that she spent a lot of time isolated in the Australian wilderness training by hunting/tracking etc... with her pack which probably lead to her getting the scars she has on her left arm.

SKYE CINEMATIC

The cinematic features Sage and Skye in the Australian wilderness (Sage wasn't there but she was communicating information to Skye thru a communication device). Skye was being guided by Sage to a "Rift" that was doing damage to the surrounding area**---(A rift is a "wormhole" confirmed by checking the files and by "Riot Oniram" and a wormhole is officially a speculative structure linking disparate points in spacetime... This is why we saw Jett and Phoenix fighting in the duelist cinematic... Jett was from another dimension called "Earth 67"(Earth 67 was written on her backpack))---** since Skye was the closest person around but regardless she was not yet in the organization "Valorant Protocol" when all of this happened...Evidenced by what Skye said at the end of the Cinematic:

  • "Alright Sage I am in"

As well as her in game voice lines:

  • "why did i sign up for this shit"
  • "you made this happen sage"

Now if you check her Player card "Skye ID" (in the files called: Guide joins) it is showing a specific Agent number and its "14" so she was the 14th Agent to join the "Valorant Protocol"

SKYE ORIGIN

"Hailing from Australia"... but where exactly is she from? and where did she grow up?

There was a post that @ playvalorant made on Instagram and said that Skye got her accent from an Australian town called Nimbin... so Skye might have grown up around that area in Australia... As for where and what she was when she grew up there is an interesting voice line:

  • "tell u what a day working on the farms would do these fellas good"

So Skye might have grew up on a Farm somewhere in Australia.

RELEASHIONSHIPS

She likes and respects Sova and Cypher

Cypher voice lines:

  • "Cypher i knew you were a legend from the start... great work mate"
  • "Anyone up for a Cuppa at Cyphers place... where ever that is" (Cuppa means tea is Australia)

Sova voice lines:

  • "In the words of out Sova (giggling noise) the pack survives"

She really likes Breach because they share the similar interests in life (going to the gym ;D)

  • "You and me Breach. Lets go"
  • "Shame their Breach is against us... I really need a gym buddy"
  • "Alright where is the fight" (Breach has similar voice lines)

Brimstone is old and bossy according to her

  • "Brimstone you're all talk... I respect that you still got some bite... If you break a hip out there i got you covered"

She respects that Jett is so good however she really hates her Soloing on mission:

  • "Jett you little ripper... that was insane... keep it up luv"
  • "About their Jett... thinks shes all that... well news flash girly... no one wins alone... I'll take her and her team down"
