Skench was a female Great Horned Owl, or Bubo virginianus, and was the Ablah General of St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. Not having that much knowledge about anything much, she relies on moon-blinked owls to make her feel smarter than she really is. Her left shoulder wing bears a jagged white scar.

History
Edit
The CaptureEdit
Skench was the leader and Ablah General of St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. She gained her loyalty by moon blinking the kidnapped owls. Her second in-command was Spoorn, with her lieutenants being Jatt and Jutt. She was also responsible for the death of Grimble during Soren and Gylfie's escape.
The SiegeEdit
The chaw of chaws were sent to St. Aggie's to find out if the Pure Ones had sent spies (which they had). Skench was supecting this and was convinced when Twilight made a speech about humble servants, but she let them join St. Aggie's. When the Pure One spys attacked the chaw of chaws, Skench took place in the fight with the other St. Aggies' owls. After that when Skench discovered that some of the St. Aggie's owls were trying to discover the power of flecks and were smuggling them to make them into weapons, Skench killed them right away.
The BurningEdit
After the fall of St. Aggie's, Skench and Spoorn found their way to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree and sought refuge from the Guardians. They were granted this despite Soren's inner protest. When asked to teach them how to fight with fire, Soren utterly refused. Even during the invasion of St. Aggie's, the other Guardians did not trust Skench. Their suspicions eventually proved to be true as Skench turned on them. However, she was immediately killed by Soren in the attempt, who struck her with a burning branch and knocked her into a forest fire.
TriviaEdit
- In the film adaptation, Skench is replaced by Nyra as the Ablah General of St. Aggie's and the Pure Ones occupy the canyons instead of the St. Aegolius owls.
- One of the owlet-nappers is a Great Horned Owl, so that could have been Skench. That owl was carrying Pete (The white Long-Eared Owl with two black spots on him, one on his left eye and one on the back of his right wing and said "No, I don't wanna be a picker!").
- She shares a similiar fate to what happened to Kludd in the movie. Both characters were thrown into a forest fire by Soren, however Kludd survived being burned and Skench was killed.
- In Portuguese adaptions, Skench is always refered to be a male owl, likely because her name "Skench" sounds more for a male name than a female name.
