IC INFORMATION
Name: Robin Nico
Canon: One Piece
Age: 28
Personality: Robin is a quiet, intelligent woman, trained from an early age to be a scholar. She keeps cool in any almost any situation, the level-headed one amongst a bunch of very reactionary people. This is only due to her ability to control her emotions, however. She definitely has them. There are a few things that can make her lose her cool entirely, as well.
One thing that can make her drop her calm facade is intense rage, which she feels for two things: disrespecting history, and hurting her crew. The first will cause her to dispatch you easily in a fight, usually with some scathing words to accompany the beating. The second will cause her to utterly destroy you and, if she must, the whole world. Her rage is cold, ruthless, and makes her seem like a real demon.
But the rest of the time, Robin is cheerful. She likes cute things, and will comment when she finds them as such. Some things she finds cute are horrifying monsters, but to her, they're adorable. Robin also likes watching others have fun, and will sometimes encourage them in their silly antics. The only antics she doesn't like are those she says are "embarrassing," usually those involving ridiculous inventions or actions that make those involved seem other than "human" (human here includes cyborg, reindeer, and skeleton in her world). She also objects to bust Franky's chops.
Robin does not hesitate to go after what she wants, whether that involves sneaking out to a forbidden library, defying a government, or even grabbing some guy's balls and squeezing until he gives up. If it needs to be done, it needs to be done, and that's all there is to it.
She often points out things that are morbid with a cheerful expression. For example, when someone asks if a person knocked into the water was eaten by sharks, she points out that they would know if the water turned red. She doesn't seem to see why others find such observations creepy, just as she doesn't know why anyone wouldn't find hideous beasts cute.
It’s hard for her to form bonds with people. She’s spent her whole life moving from group to group, often destroying those groups in the process, and it’s taught her to trust no one and never get attached. Once she does get close to someone, though, she will defend them against all odds, even if it costs her life. She was even willing to condemn the rest of the world to destruction if it meant saving the only six people she cared about. Other people’s lives and wellbeing mean nothing to her when it comes to the welfare of those she cares most for. If dropping you to your death meant saving a friend, she would do so without hesitation or regret.
In regards to herself, Robin does her best not to let the things said about her get to her, though she has internalized some of it, particularly the part about it being better for everyone if she were dead. It took the best of friends – a family, really – to convince her that it was okay to want to live.
Robin’s dream in life is to uncover that history that has been hidden by politics or simply lost to years. She values what history has taught the world above all, and wants it to be known by everyone.
AU History: Robin was born in the very small, isolated town of Ohara, Russia to Olvia Nico and her husband. Robin’s father was a researcher and archaeologist, and he left on a mission while Robin was very young and never came back. When Robin was just two, Olvia went out in search of the same answers her husband had sought, leaving her daughter in the care of her brother and his wife. In true Cinderella fashion, Robin’s aunt, uncle, and cousin were horrible to her, forcing her to cook and clean constantly while mocking her and never letting her go outside. Other children of the town would tease her as well for her quiet personality and preference of books over games.
One day, Robin went to the large library in town. While most of the citizens of Ohara avoided the library, there was a group of scholars there who devoted their time to discovering the mysteries of the world. Robin tentatively came to them asking for books, and soon cemented a special place in their hearts, particularly that of a scholar named Clover. Over the years, Robin would sneak out from her uncle’s house and study at the library, quickly going the route of her parents with an interest in history and archaeology.
When she was eight, she took the test that would make her a certified archaeologist and historian and passed with flying colors, making her a child prodigy in the field. However, at her celebration party, she expressed interest in looking into “true history,” that history that civilizations throughout the ages have strived to cover up, a forbidden subject, and the one her parents had left her for. Studying it was considered treason. The other scholars quickly warned her away from the topic.
In a fit of despair over the scholars’ reaction to her desire, Robin fled the library to the outskirts of town, where she found a half-starved man in a tent in the woods. He was a huge man, over seven feet tall and broad shoulders, and Robin at first fearfully asked him if he was a giant. Once she learned of his condition, she started bringing him food. She learned that his name was Saul, and the two soon became good friends.
It would be Saul who would tell her to laugh when things were bad.
A week or two later, Robin mentioned to Saul that her mother was Olvia Nico. In a panic, he realized that he was in Ohara, and that the soldiers would soon be on their way to destroy the town, and the dangerous (to them) secrets the scholars had discovered. He warned Robin that they would be coming for those in the library, and she hurried to warn them.
Meanwhile, Olvia Nico had returned to Ohara, to warn the scholars that the army was on their way to destroy the library. The scholars, however, refused to leave. When she learned that the soldiers were already there, on the outskirts of town, she ran out of the library, unknowingly passing her daughter as she did so.
Robin hurried with her message to the library, only to find they already knew. She also knew by now that her mother must be back, and asked them about it. Clover, however, denied that she had returned, as Olvia was trying to cut ties with her daughter to keep her safe. Clover told Robin to leave, but she refused, and soon the soldiers burst into the library, arresting those inside.
The soldiers are also bearing an injured Olvia, who had tried to fight them off. She recognized her daughter, though Robin did not yet recognize her. Clover tried to reveal why the government wants to keep what they’ve found a secret, but was shot before he could finish. The soldiers left to destroy the town, burning everything (and everyone) to permanently erase any secrets in Ohara. Back in front of the library, Olvia finally revealed her true identity, and she and Robin were reunited for one last moment.
Saul arrived on the scene, and was told to escape with Robin. Despite her protests, she was pulled away from her mother and taken with Saul to the edge of town. There, they were confronted by soldiers, who recognized Saul as a former military captain. Saul held them off long enough for Robin to escape, telling her to go into the world and find her friends, laughing as he died. As the young girl fled, she too tried to laugh, but was too overcome with grief at the loss of her mother, Clover, and her home, and instead wept.
Branded as a fugitive, the next twenty years of Robin’s life consisted of running from place to place, avoiding those would turn her in and, later, joining various organizations, many of them criminal. All fell apart while she was in them, branding her a demon of bad luck.
It is through this that she arrives at Ameswell, fresh from her last doomed venture and looking to join a new one, while keeping her identity as a fugitive hidden. She introduces herself as Miss Allison Sunday, or just Miss Sunday to you. And she keeps hope alive that she’ll find her friends out in the world.
3rd Person Sample:
Robin knew the signs of a bootlegger’s operation when she saw it. Isolated, disguised as a simple barn, with recent signs of car and foot traffic made a little too hastily for a simple farmer’s visit.
There were also the armed guards.
She wasn’t too worried about them, though. Observing them coolly from her hiding spot behind a large oak, she waited until they were turned a bit away from her, then slipped right past them, silent like a ghost or a shadow.
She did not enter the barn with so little notice. She opened the door brazenly, smiling disarmingly at the… gentleman who sat at the card table inside, playing five card stud.
“Good evening,” she greeted smoothly, ignoring their gaping mouths and the hands reaching for guns. “I wouldn’t do that, if I were you?”
“Why not? Yer trespassing!” snapped one of the men, standing up and looking ready to attack.
“Because I have a deal to make. I have information that can increase your business tenfold.” She tilted her head, cowboy hat shading her eyes just a little.
They looked at each other. Unsure. Robin almost wanted to laugh at them. It was amusing how confused they were. She never found men like this impressive, though they could sometimes lead her to what she needed. Like now, for instance. One of their clients had something of a significance they couldn’t comprehend, but Robin could, and she wanted to get a look at it.
“..Alright, I guess we might be interested,” said one of the men finally. “But if we don’t like what yer sellin’, we’ll make sure you can never come back, right boys?” They sniggered. “Miss…?”
“Miss Sunday,” she answered, sliding easily into a chair and picking up some of the cards. She had always preferred chess to gambling.
“And trust me, you’ll like it.”
