A She-cat by Russell out of TiffanyBorn and dubbed Robin in the Moon of Long Sun (2006)
Living (off camera) at the age of 39 Moon(s) (3 years)
Appearance
 
Short Description :
A slim torbie she-cat with yellow-green eyes
Long Description :
Robin is a young, slim she-cat with a tabby tortoiseshell coat. Her pelt is mostly brown with dark mackerel stripes, with small patches of brindled ginger in several places. Her underbelly and chin are lighter than the rest of her fur, a tone of creamy brown. Her eyes are yellow bordering on green, emphasized by a ginger forehead. She has a creamy pink nose, with a small spot of black on its lower half. Triangular ears larger than normal and a pointed muzzle lend Robin a slightly Oriental look, enhanced by her light frame and dainty, pink-toed paws.
Personality
 
 
Since she was a kitten, Robin's personality was marked by an easy trust in almost everything. She believes most of what she is told or shown, resulting on a gullible, easily fooled cat. Since she trusts others to tell her the truth, Robin will be promptly resentful of any lie she finds out - she expects that trust to be honored and respected for what it is.

She is as much a collector as her brother; but while Reynard collects objects, Robin collects stories. She started with the stories Tiffany told her kits, yet soon enough Robin was collecting and creating her own. In her little fantasy world, this young she-cat likes to imagine herself to be the hero of those grand stories, or the trusted companion of many adventures.

Another marked trait of Robin's personality is a steady stubbornness. She clings fiercely to her ideas and beliefs, no matter how incredulous. While deep inside she may know those notions are fake, Robin has a great resistance to others trying to point out that fact.

Full History :
Robin was born to the she-cat Tiffany and her mate Russell. Tiffany, a former housecat, had abandoned her previous life to join the feral Russell. Robin was named by her sire for the color of her pelt, since it so resembled the bird by the same name. Reynard, Robin's brother, was named by Tiffany, after a character her former owners had told her about.

When the two kittens were about a moon old, they resumed the nomadic lifestyle that had characterized Russell and Tiffany before their birth. With their parents, both kittens learned when to fight, when to run, and how to hunt and find shelter. During that time, Robin and Reynard also learned about twolegs. Tiffany drilled her offspring about their habits and personalities, and on how to interact with them.

Tiffany wanted to make sure her two kits would respect housecats throughout their life, and to help achieving that objective, she told them about twoleg stories - mostly, Reynard the Fox and Robin Hood. These stories fascinated Robin, and she eagerly waited for the next one to be told. While Reynard fancied himself the hero of those stories, Robin was busier creating spin-offs and larger plots, building a new world in her head out of the tales her dame told.

As the two siblings grew, Robin was less adventurous than her brother - she preferred to live the adventures in her world rather than in the real world. Reynard's account of his own mischievous actions and trickery wove their way into Robin's stories; she placed great trust on what Reynard pronounced to be the truth, rarely doubting his word, no matter how fanciful they got. During their time together, Robin was pretty much Reynard's satellite, trudging alongside him when she felt like it; other times, she was more cautious, holding back and receding to her imaginary tales.

Robin's world as she knew it - safe, secure and with ever-present parents - ended when the siblings were six moons old. Their parents had decided their offspring were old enough to fend for themselves; thus, one day, when Reynard and Robin returned from a hunting trip, Tiffany and Russell bid them farewell and left without another word. The two mates had reckoned their kits were old enough to make their own life in the wild, and had the skills to do so.

While Reynard soon accepted their fate, Robin wasn't so willing to do so. She had always thought Russell and Tiffany would be always there, and didn't accept the fact they were truly alone. It went against her carefully laid out plans, against her make-up world of wonders. Thus, not a week since their parents left, Robin struck out after them, following their trail.

Robin's journey after her parents wasn't what she expected it to be. It was much harder to survive in the wild alone than it had been with her family; also, it had little of the enchant her stories always bore. In reality, rocks sliced her soft paw-pads, rain was unrelenting, and the cold pierced her fur at night. To make it worse, her parents' trail grew cold as she went. After several moons of trying to track them, with just a sniff at a leaf in a place, a patch of tangled fur there, Robin realized she would never manage to find Russell and Tiffany - at least not any time soon.

Thus it was that she started the long trip back. Reynard was the only member of her family left. Robin hoped he would be around the place of their birth; if she could not find Reynard, at least she would be in more familiar ground. One adventurous trip was enough for a lifetime.

On the 23rd day of the Moon of Running Prey (2007), Robin was reunited with her brother in the barn at the northwest edge of the forest (which the two cats named Castle of Maupertuis), thus coming to the end of her long journey.

Less than a moon later, on the 12th day of the Moon of Cheetah's Flight, Robin was returning from a walk when she found Reynard talking with a unknown cat, who presented himself as Blackstar, WindClan's leader. After some excited conversation, the visitor led the two siblings on a visit to his territory and camp, much to Robin's excitement and open-mouthed wonder.
