Sky Lark

Template:SkyLarkSky Lark is an attendee of Beacon Academy, and a member of Team CRDL. His weapon of choice appears to be a halberd. During the Vytal Festival Tournament, he is elected to by his team to go to the doubles round with Russel Thrush.

Appearance

Sky has blue eyes and long, combed back, dark blue hair. He wears dark gray armor with light gray edges, as well as vambraces of the same style. Underneath his armor, he wears a black, long-sleeved V-neck shirt and black pants.

Personality

Sky seems to be a cowardly sort. So far he has not been shown to speak and follows Cardin Winchester in his abuse of others. When Jaune Arc defied Cardin by pelting him with a jar of Red Sap, Sky was seen trying to hide behind Dove Bronzewing, who shrugged him off, obviously annoyed.

He has displayed a capacity to be silly, as seen when he uses his hands to form bunny ears on his head, though whether this is lighthearted or entirely meant to offend Velvet Scarlatina is subject to speculation. His cowardly side is mostly seen when he abandons his leader to fend for himself against a giant Ursa.

Abilities and Powers

In "Extracurricular", Sky displays enough physical strength to gouge his axe into the ground. However, he is also shown to have very little coordination whether on his own or with his teammates, as he is unable to competently block attacks while battling against Pyrrha Nikos, constantly being driven back and/or knocked down. He ended up being the first member of the team to be incapacitated, not long after the fight began.

In the doubles round fight against Penny Polendina and Ciel Soleil in the tournament, he demonstrates some acrobatic skill when he uses his halberd to pole vault over a boulder to avoid Penny's attack.

Trivia

• Sky Lark is named after a genus of larks known as Alauda, also known as Skylarks.
  • The lark was symbolic of merriment as the lark sang hymns at the gates of heaven; the lark was the bird that announced the coming of the day. Because of the bird's boundless energy, it is said the lark is also the symbol of hope, happiness, and of good fortune; creativity.
  • His name may also be a play on the Danish given name "Skylar", which means scholar or fugitive.
• Sky's eyes changed from blue to brown in Volume 2.
• Since "Lark" is used for the "L" in CRDL, it may be that he is actually called by his second name instead of his first.
  • Interestingly this trait is also shared by Lie Ren, whose second name also composes the final letter of Team JNPR.
