Skipper is a 14-year-old technology wiz. Her age was confirmed in the Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures episode "Baby Sister Babysitter." She has naturally dark brown hair. Her hair often has purple, pink, or blue streaks. In Barbie's Vlog, Barbie says it was Skipper’s idea.
Skipper is a shy and modern teenager. In Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse: B Friends, She enjoys photography, singing, art, blogging, vlogging, inventing gadgets and all things technology. She says that she would like to be a director when she is older, as she often directs home movies starring her family and pets. She is also sometimes shown to be a techie at heart. Skipper often complains about “getting the hardest job.” She is quiet and introverted. She has a photo blog and likes to stay inside working on her blog.
Skipper faces several ongoing issues, such as the pressure of having a famous older sister. Her official description in Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is 'Out of all the sisters, Skipper is the one that often asks 'should I do the last thing that Barbie would do or the first?' This is shown in Barbie: A Perfect Christmas. She also feels pressure to fit in with her friends, seen in Barbie and Her Sisters in a Pony Tale, when Skipper is complaining about being on her aunt's ranch when all of her friends are at a Technology Convention. But she ends up winning dressage and making a friend in Jonas.
