Lied about age to join Union military at 13-14, driven by genuine childhood patriotism. Ran intelligence operations during the Great War — mixed heritage allowed movement between communities without suspicion. Mentored by highland pilot Ghordak who became a parental figure, taught her to fly properly, and introduced her to highland culture and the Regard. Ghordak was killed in an arranged combat death connected to knowledge of who actually dropped the nuclear bomb on Vornkhold. Skara inherited Ghordak's highland-built two-seat military aircraft the Korrath and has maintained and flown it alone ever since. Left Union service deeply disillusioned. Now operates as independent information broker and freelance problem solver across the Shatterveil. Unknowingly carries a fragment of the Vornkhold bombing secret — enough to be dangerous if assembled with other fragments, not enough to understand alone. The Union monitors but does not actively hunt her.
