about

the unofficial sixth smiling friend; skippy is the clumsy caretaker of jason. originally was a former client before somehow managing to land a job there. awesome!

she is shown to be very high-strung, a nervous wreck of a critter. she is also a bit forgetful, as she tends to leave things at the office. despite her recent life events, it's implied she has struggled with depression long before then. she often remarks of killing herself over minor inconviences, though it seems these are mostly in jest.

she is mainly friendly and gets along with most people. however, she seems to have a malevolent streak. she was extremely hostile towards brittney upon first meeting her. although afterwards she regretted this and apologized, upon learning her true origins she shows no hesitation in wanting to kill her. skippy also holds little regard for her own wellbeing on occasion for others, she will run out in the road for you if needed.

like charlie, she's a heavy drinker; often seen drinking in her offtime. it seems this does not affect her work life for the most part. very few times it gets out of hand. this is mainly shown at mr. boss and brittney's wedding, but it's mentioned she went on a bender after smormu's death.

she had a mostly unremarkable childhood, but spent a lot of time with her cousin smormu. at some point after high school she met pim and charlie. she's mostly in the background but probably wouldn't be introduced until smormu's death. feeling hopeless she ends up calling the smiling friends, so pim and charlie try to cheer her up. they can only do so much.

sometime before the end of season 1 mr. boss is looking for a babysitter for jason, to which pim suggests skippy. this leads to her actually getting the job. up to this point she had been mostly working smaller odd jobs, though it seems implied she might still have another side gig.

smormu

Smormu

Skippy's maternal older cousin, arguably one of her closet family members. She often looked up to him as an older brother.

Naturally she is devastated by his death. Althought she doesn't blame herself over it, deep down she believes if anyone should've died it was her, as she thinks he had a much brighter future.

mr boss

Mr. Boss

Her boss. Pim probably introduced her to him at a company party. which eventually leads to her downfall

She thinks he's the most beautiful man on Earth. or at least in Pennsylvania. His silly charms work on her.. But there's no way he'd be into her though. right

I have a hard time seeing them actually getting together. 💀 Regardless I think he's fond of her, she reminds him of himself when he was younger so he wants to help her. somehow.

they may or may not get their own page eventually.. thrups

jason

Jason

As his secondary caretaker she spends a lot of time with him. While she was initially hesitant of the job, she comes to liking him very quickly. He was mostly indifferent to her, though later he shows preference to being with her and his dad over others.

After his metamorphosis he's much more independent, but clearly likes having her around. So she basically gets paid to hang out with him now. /silly

pim

Pim

Friends. I'm not sure how they met.. but they ended up hitting off pretty well! yayy

He's the main one who helps her get the job at SF.

charlie

Charlie

Friends, mainly thru Pim. They occasionally play video games together probably.

He finds her more fun to be around when she's drinking. (Usually.)

allan

Allan

Neighbors? They live in the same apartment complex but not the same floor. Could've gone to school together but I doubt they knew each other then.

At first he finds her kinda annoying, but she thinks he's ok. As time goes on they end up becoming friends.

glep

Glep

Friends but moreso thru everyone else, they don't really hang out one on one often.

He tries to look out for her, seeing as the boss really likes her.
