Personality[]
Skyla is 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).
