Skelita is first seen in a profile picture in Moanatella Ghostier's computer, as she scrolls through blogs. However, she only formally appears when Clawdeen Wolf is introduced to her, as she notices a tear in her dress and immediately sews it, agilely and rapidly. She then introduces Jinafire Long to the new contestant, displaying her skills, only to be interrupted by Moanatella, that announces that only one of the three contestants will make it to student status. Eventually, the competition starts, and Skelita remains cheerful and faithful to her culture, teaching Clawdeen the ways of her favourite holiday, the Day of the Dead, by showing off her altar and her utensils that passed down from her grandmother. However, Moanatella is not satisfied with her original designs and rejects every single one of them. Later, Skelita finds Clawdeen's sketchbook in a trashcan and wonders who could have put it there, only to find it was Clawdeen herself, brainwashed by Moanatella to give up her personal style. Disappointed, Skelita, along with Jinafire, gives Clawdeen a talk about how her style is important and that designing doesn't have any rules. However, they're interrupted by the warning that Moanatella has chosen the winning pupil. Holding Clawdeen's and Jinafire's hands, Skelita anxiously waits for the answer and is happy when Clawdeen is announced to be the winner. She is later seen after Clawdeen and Garrott du Roque have been freed, as she decided to return to the headquarters after she felt in her bones something was off with Moanatella, and comes just in time to offer her help in the catwalk that will change the rules of fashion. Helping Clawdeen and Garrott with the designs, she helps sew and speeds with the gang to the catwalk site, in a scooter, and later poses for a photoshoot after Moanatella has been defeated. At the end of the show she confesses to Clawdeen that she intends to study at Monster High. [Scaris: City of Frights]
Skelita is flicking through the photos of the vacation in Scaris and comments on the beauty of the city, sitting with Jinafire and Toralei Stripe in a Scarisian Cafe. When the latter prepares to attack Clawdeen's Sketchbook, Skelita stops her and holds her back, only to be brushed off. She follows the gang to the airport and is suprised when Cleo De Nile and Draculaura come in with a huge pile of shopping bags. She's immediately assigned by Frankie to her airplane group, since the gang had to be divided. Before heading into the plane, she is chatting with Jinafire while Heath Burns gets distracted by them and later joins Frankie on her quest to find the sketchbook. Through Fangladesh, she is in charge of registering everything in photographs, before being dispersed by a mammoth stampede. As an attempt to follow the eagle that has stolen the sketchbook, she rides in Deuce Gorgon and Cleo's hot hair balloon, and disjoints from the group with them when Heath burns the rope connecting the two balloons and with them falls into Skull Shores. There, when Cleo destroys the Tiki's civilization with an amulet, she recommends an apology and begs for her to not use Egyptian magic, which reminds her of the "teenage magic" plan to lure the Tikis into setting them free. She escapes with the couple in a luxury raft built by the Tikis and gets to Monster High, where she witnesses the other hot air balloon falling straight in the pool, relaxing in the lounge chairs, and then leaves with the group into the school grounds.
