FamilyEdit
Based on artwork of Skelita, her family supposedly consists of a mother, father, brother, grandmother and herself, all of them are skeletons. Her sketchbook also mentions she has an aunt named Catrina and at least one cousin, who had recently celebrated her Quincenscara.
A grandmother has appeared in "Scare-itage", presumably the mother of Skelita's father. She may or may not be the grandmother in the picture in Skelita's diary, who looks more like she'd be her mother's mother.
FriendsEdit
According to her biography she is friends with Jinafire Long and Clawdeen Wolf.
PetEdit
In her diary, Skelita mentions having a pet butterfly named Nati. The Calaveras household also contains a skeletal dog. On the website profile she mentions that millions of Monarch butterflies are also her pets when ever they visit back from winter.

NotesEdit
- "Skelita" is a cross-language portmanteau of "skeleton" and the suffix "-ita". "-ita" is Spanish and denotes the diminutive female form of a word, meaning that Skelita's name roughly translates to "little (female) skeleton".
- Skelita is based on the family background of Natalie Villegas, the designer.[1]
- Skelita's home country, Hexico, is a play on the real country of Mexico.
- Certain boxes containing Skelita and her bio have a misprint stating that she is 15 hundred scales old. This information was supposed to be on Jinafire Long's age.
