Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Skylar Stevens is a rich teenage girl who lives in a large house on the edge of town. After Denver is destroyed she fears that her parents, who were in New York City, are dead, too. However, New York was apparently not destroyed in the attacks. Upon learning this, Skylar is hopeful again, and even hugs Dale.

Initially, Skylar and her friends don't think much of Dale, labeling him a "freak," but she begins to form a bond with him when he brings supplies to her house, and reveals that he lost his mother in the attacks. She asks him to stay, and they take shelter from a fallout-laden storm at her house. Later, she shows genuine concern when she learns that Dale's trailer home has been destroyed in a fire, leaving him homeless. Still later on, she learns that Dale has been arrested, and makes an attempt to bail him with her (now-useless) credit card, but Jake lets him go. Skylar offers to let Dale stay on at her house. When Dale is left to run Gracie's Market, Skylar helps him out and even helps him fight a local man who is in debt to Dale. They kiss after the mission becomes successful.
