The Basics
Name: Robin Maxine Yu
Nicknames: Bobby, Robby
Age: 25
Orientation: Bisexual (she likes girls just a bit more though)
Desired Rank/Job: Local
Powers: Precognition: Robin is able to see and hear future events almost like a vivid dream when both awake and asleep. She can see events lasting as long as a minute before her power shuts off on her, leaving her with an oncoming migraine. She has some control over when it will occur, but it won't always be about who or what she wants it to. She often gets lost in her visions as if she is in the future herself. Her side effects are becoming disoriented during and after a vision, and migraines from long use. Sometimes Bobby will get a nose bleed from pushing herself too hard.
Play By: Kim Hye Lim (AKA Lime)
The Details
Hair Color: Light aquamarine, or teal, or white. It's really black though.
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Any Piercings? Ears Only
Any Tattoos? One on her hip of her name sake bird in flight.
Any Scars? N/A
General Appearance: Robin is a petite young woman. She is only 5'3" and weighing a light 126 pounds. She has soft subtle feminine curves on a skinny frame. Her complexion is rather pale, and she is more likely to burn than get a great tan line. She has a cheerful round face. Her large brown eyes and smile are full of life. Her hair is kept short, chin length at it's longest. The catch is it's color. Her hair is dyes a light aquamarine most of the time. On occasion it's a brighter hue or white, but naturally it is black.
Robin loves light colors and pastels. She's usually found in a nice light blouse and some jeans or shorts, or a simple dress. She isn't afraid to show off some leg, and in warmer weather she wears daisy-dukes and very short skirts. High heels aren't uncommon on this petite woman. She wears them often when going out. She loves buttons (or pins, whatever you want to call them) and collects them. Most of her buttons are pinned to jackets of hers, almost completely covering a whole shoulder. If she sees a button she likes chances are she will have it in her possession soon.
Personality: At first glance Robin is easily considered a ditzy "blonde." It is easy to loose her in a conversation, and confusing her with directions in no challenge. It doesn't help that her power disorients her even more so. She is almost in a world of her own. Her train of thought travels from one idea to another, going from A to B then to C. Although when she does then let her thoughts out it comes more as an A to C route and seems a bit out of place and having nothing to do with conversation at hand (and that's how she usually gets lost). She has a habit of getting ahead of herself and falling behind.
One thing for sure is that Robin embraces her inner comic nerd. She loves both Marvel and DC, and hates when people ask her to choose one over the other. They each have their pros and cons, it's like apples and oranges here. She isn't afraid to wear a graphic tee with her favorite super heroes, or join in on a conversation that a couple of customers are having. If you let her she can go on for hours debating which Robin was the best companion for the caped crusader. Under her bed is a pile of comic books. She is a proud nerd.
Bobby has a motherly instinct that kicks in when children are around. She can't help but watch how cute they are when they toddle around and try to act like their big sibling. She loves to faun over them and take care of children. Having some of her own would be a dream come true for Robin. A mere mention of needing a babysitter and she will jump at the chance.
Despite her huge soft spot for kids and her rather ditzy demeanor, Robin is able to put someone in their place if she needs to. She is blunt when angry. Telling someone to shut the hell up when they are being rude and annoying is no challenged when irked to the nth degree. She usually doesn't get angry, but when there is one person who is loud and obnoxious for too long she just can't help but get annoyed at them. But after Hammel they went their separate ways to colleges to pursue their own ambitions.

History
First thing's first. Nate and Tori Yu met when they were students at Hammel and soon became high school sweethearts. After they moved on from the school they decided to settle down together and start a family. They opened up a little Chinese restaurant, Scarlet Wok, and took residence in the floors above. On May 24th their little girl came into the picture. Since she was young she has had a love of being in the kitchen. She would help out how ever she could, getting a bowl, grabbing utensils or ingredients, even waiting on a costumer when she was old enough. It was a quaint little family run business. Robin enjoyed spending a lot of her time in the kitchen watching (and trying to help) her mother cook.
In school Robin was a bit of a floater rather than belonging to a single clique. While she could geek out and be one of the boys, she also enjoyed painting nails and chattering away with girls. She did have some friends she stayed close and loyal to, but she knew everyone in her grade just even a little.
The winter before turning thirteen, Robin's powers manifested. Her visions were hard to differentiate from real life, giving her more of a sense of déjà vu rather than suddenly realizing there is something going on with her. She found out when a recruiter went to town after a couple of days asking for a blood test to verify this. It came back positive and Robin was enrolled into Hammel.
During her years at Hammel she didn't live in a dorm, and felt a bit separate from the other students because of that. All the same she made her share of friends, and even found a high school sweet heart of her own. She fell in love with a girl named Lily. The two of them grew closer and closer, even planning a future together.
Away at college, Robin had a culinary major since her love of food was still strong. Her time there went over all smoothly. She had a short and regretful relationship with a jerk-wad of a guy, but other than him she couldn't really complain. Four years later she graduated. Now she has returned to Pilot Ridge. Robin is once again in the kitchen of Scarlet Wok, and is actually cooking the meals. Her specialty is making homemade fortune cookies, and she uses her precognition to write personal fortunes for each customer.
Roleplay Example
Robin takes a little slip of paper for a fortune cookie. On it she writes: "This app will get accepted someday."
