Skyla is the Gym Leader of Mistralton City's gym in the Unova region. Her gym is the sixth gym to be challenged by the player character. Skyla specializes in using Flying-type Pokémon. She will award the player character the Jet Badge if she is defeated. She first appeared in Pokémon Black and White. When she's not Gym Battling, she works as a cargo jet pilot.

Appearance

Skyla has blue eyes and long dark-red hair, with a light accessory resembling a spinning propellor and a bun. Her outfit consists of a long-sleeved light blue crop top, bulky dark blue gloves, light blue short-shorts, dark blue boots, a dark blue holster attached on her right thigh, and dark blue straps with white buckles that wrap around her stomach and hips.

Personality

Skyla is certainly a bubbly and outgoing type of Trainer, she enjoys a good battle and meeting others. However she can come off as a little airheaded, though even in close defeat she still remains optimistic whether she wins or loses.

Etymology

The name Skyla comes from "sky" and skylark (a type of bird).

Her Japanese name, Fūro, comes from the kanji for wind (風), which can be read as "fū". Following the plant-based naming of most characters, it could come from 風露草 (fūrosō, the Japanese name for the geranium genus of flowers).
