ROBIN

[Robin]

NAME;;

Robin

AGE;;

12

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION;;

Robin is a little over 5'2" with long light brown hair that she leaves down or in a ponytail. Her eyes are a pretty mix of blue and green and are wide in an innocent sort of way. Her features are petite and what her mother and father called "cute as a button".

HISTORY;;

Elizabeth Russel, now Robin, was the daughter of factory workers in upper New York. She never really saw much of her parents after she reached the age of three, when their shifts were made much longer than before. They were both killed in a factory fire weeks before her fifth birthday.
At first, she was going to be sent to work in a factory herself until she decided to run away from her birthtown to New York City, where she became a newsie for the Bronx. It took quite a while to perfect her style of selling papes, which once or twice turned to trickery to get what she wanted. She only pulled such ploys as acting like someone had knocked her off her feet and twisted her ankle to play the guilty card on the richer of New York's residents.
Recently turning ten, Robin hasn't pulled these stunts as much–for the very good reason that they weren't exactly ethical–and sells papes like every other newsie.

PERSONALITY;;

Robin has a very caring soul towards kids like herself, newsies, but can be rude to those who have made a bad impression on her. She is very…high-spirited, in a sense, and takes angrily to comments on her height or her style. She has a calm side, however, that she only reveals in private, one that is quiet and only to wind down from trials she's encountered.
