Skip The Bellhop

Skip the Bellhop, more commonly known as Skip, is a popular non-canon character of Penguinronpa. Although he does not appear in the canon universe of Penguinronpa, he has been referenced in character Q+As, has appeared in some special episodes for annual celebrations, and has participated in his own Q+A. He mostly gained popularity through Penguinronpa's Discord server, where fans jokingly shipped him with Jeff the Ref—another non-canon Penguinronpa character. However, it has been confirmed that Skip and Jeff are a canonical ship in the non-canon Penguinronpa universe.

## Appearance

Skip's most common appearance is a lime green-feathered penguin with spiky orange hair and his bellhop uniform from the 2014 Halloween Party in Club Penguin. However, he has also appeared in his ghost form: a large green ghost with sharp teeth, his bellhop hat with a red strand of hair sticking out, and hands instead of flippers. In the Penguinronpa Halloween Special (2021), he briefly appears with gray cat ears, a gray tail, and pink blush to mimic the popular internet meme of the Nyan Cat.

## Personality

Skip is a rather sassy and snippy character, and he is often rude around the characters that he does not know. During the Halloween Special, he acted rather villainous and power-hungry to the point of his desperation for his ghostly magic. However, he has a softer and kinder personality to Jeff due to his love for him. He is often confused by many of the meta jokes and intricacies of the non-canon Penguinronpa universe, and he expresses disdain for the multiple universes in the Penguinronpa multiverse.

## History

### Main Story

#### Chapter 5

Due to the events of the Penguinronpa Halloween Special (2021), Skip and Jeff ended up in a part of the Wilderness in the canon universe of Penguinronpa. Although they end up leaving undetected, Agent briefly investigates the area shortly after their departure, causing them to say the line, "Huh. That's weird. Could have sworn I heard someone." Agent does end up saying this line as well in the official posting of Chapter 5 Deadly Life while investigating the Wilderness, thus giving Skip a slight impact on the canon Penguinronpa universe.

### Bonus Content

#### Penguinronpa Valentine's Day Special (2021)

Skip briefly appears on the screen being carried in Jeff's arms. Although Shadow Guy is confused as to why Skip and Jeff are appearing as a ship, Gamma Gal confirms that "Skeff" is a real ship created by the Penguinronpa Discord server.

#### Penguinronpa Halloween Special (2021)

Skip serves as the primary antagonist in 2021's Halloween Special. After Rookie accidentally summons him with Gary's Ghoul Detector 2999, he explains his plan to take over the Penguinronpa multiverse by becoming the mastermind of the canon universe's killing game. He plans to do this because he is dissatisfied with his role as a non-canon character and his unimportance to the series. He attempts to enter the main series through a portal, but he cannot enter it due to his lack of hope. He attempts to convince Jeff to help him, but Jeff uses his whistle to contain Skip's powers within it, which renders Skip into a powerless penguin. Skip chases after Jeff's whistle through many universes, each shift from one universe to another messing up the multiverse until they finally end up in the main story. Skip breaks down about his powers being all he has, but Jeff tells him about how many people love him, including Jeff himself. After Skip hugs Jeff, he sacrifices the last of his power so Jeff can take them back to the Halloween Special. Once they return, Skip vows to become good and help the characters throw the best Halloween party that they had ever seen. He appears in the credits alongside Jeff as one of the main stars.

#### Penguinronpa Holiday Special (2021)

Skip appears on the final day of the Holiday Special, confused by the setting and thinking that he may have ended up into another non-canon universe. He joins Jeff to bring the twelfth day's lyric, "Twelve tic-tac-toe codes." He appears shrugging next to a board with a message written in a tic-tac-toe code; the code says, "Need a hint? Day three's key was 'party hats.'"

#### Mario Day Special

In the Mario Day special, Skip appears in a design that references King Boo from the Super Mario series. He ends up scaring Luigi.
