Malena Skinner

Malena Skinner is an SSR character in Counter:Side. Faction: Canary Squad.

StaffMalena Skinner is an operator and a Gauntlet staff member of Canary Squad.

Malena Skinner is an outgoing woman and the voice of reason within Canary Squad.

Being a staff member specialized in communications and electronic warfare, she is very intelligent and capable of coordinating with teammates effectively.

She treats team members as family and is always giving them her full support both in and out of combat.

Likewise towards Félicette and Laika, Skinner acts almost as if she was their mother— but given how brash and irreverent those two are, she can get fed up with their attitude and turn particularly sardonic whenever they get cheeky with her.

Skinner has regrettably described herself as a pushover who commonly allowed herself to be easily swayed by others (which is partly the reason why she ended up in Canary Squad).

Most consequentially, she developed a sense of guilt and self-hatred after her ex-boyfriend and stalker Wyler murdered a colleague of hers as retribution for helping her get a restraining order against him.

The fact that her own employer at the time—as well as all other companies she later tried to approach—put the blame on her for the incident only cemented those feelings even as other, more reasonable people told her she was not at fault.

Skinner would finally gain some closure following Wyler's (most likely) final arrest.
