Biodata

Background

Robin and her older brother Sunday grew up on a battlefield after a Stellaron descended on their homeworld, bringing the Antimatter Legion and other disasters. Their mother died saving them, and Gopher Wood adopted the siblings and brought them to Penacony 15.

Robin attended the Harmony Academy at Penacony Paperfold University and studied under a renowned singer. She released albums and toured, becoming a widely known star. She regards using her life to save others as a way of repaying her mother’s sacrifice 15.

Appearance

Robin has long silver-white hair, emerald-green eyes, Halovian feathers behind her ears, and a Celestial Ring above her head 12 15 141.

• At the refugee camp, she wore practical clothing with rolled-up sleeves and medicine stains, contrasting with her glamorous posters 4.
• For her escape, she tied back her hair and wore a dark coat suited to movement 9.
• At her Vesna IV performance, she wore a long silver-white fringed dress. A choker later concealed the scar from her neck wound 23 37.

Personality

Robin is compassionate and attentive to people affected by war. She made room for Jingxing in an overcrowded refugee camp, shared food with refugees, and urged former soldiers to survive and help rebuild rather than continue fighting 4 18 19.

Beneath her polished public smile, Robin is determined to act according to her convictions. She resented being confined to the camp as a company mascot and risked her life to sing for peace. She is also protective of Jingxing, insisting that he rest during their journey and seeking help for his painful eyes 7 11 21 24.

Abilities & Skills

Harmony

Robin is a Pathstrider of Harmony who uses its power through speech and song 4 15.

• Emotional perception: She hears emotions in a person’s individual “melody” and can use them to judge whether the person is lying 4.
• Persuasion: She convinced Old Zhou’s routed soldiers to stop threatening travelers and escort her party. Jingxing concluded that her ability draws suppressed feelings to the surface rather than erasing people’s will 17 19.
• Resonant singing: Her singing carries Harmony energy and can reach beyond ordinary sound equipment. On Vesna IV, sounding ore placed by the Stellaron Hunters resonated with her power and helped carry the song across the planet 21 23.
• Residual echoes: She can sense lingering sounds of suffering left behind by war, using their absence to assess a place 14.
• Physical endurance: Harmony energy sustains her body beyond ordinary human endurance, allowing her to restore energy with a short nap when needed 11.
• Limit: Being shot while channeling her power at full strength disrupted the Imaginary Energy inside her, leaving her condition dangerous even after the flesh wound was treated 24 27.

Items

• Spatial sachet: A gift from General Feixiao after Robin performed for the Qingqiu Army. It stores objects using a small amount of Path energy; Robin used it for escape supplies and Jingxing’s art equipment, then gave it to him to keep 9 29.

Relationships

• Jingxing — Traveling companion and romantic partner. He helped her escape the camp and saved her after the Rovini shooting; she accepted his confession after he returned to Thousand Stars City. They also promised that he would paint an album cover for her once he became famous 7 15 27 137.
• Sunday — Her older brother and head of Penacony’s Oak Family. He is protective of her and initially opposed her relationship with Jingxing; Robin insists on making her own choices while caring about his feelings 15 28 139.
• Gopher Wood — Adopted Robin and Sunday after their mother’s death and brought them to Penacony 15.
• Ofila — Robin’s Interastral Peace Entertainment representative and manager. Robin describes her as sharp-tongued, while company restrictions on Robin’s work and movements become a source of conflict 20 137 138.
• Old Zhou — A former routed soldier whom Robin persuaded to escort her and Jingxing. He later helped prepare and guard her performance 17 21.

Story Role

Vesna IV peace campaign

After hearing about Vesna IV’s civil war, Robin traveled there intending to restore peace. Interastral Peace Entertainment took over her itinerary and restricted her to a refugee camp; she asked Jingxing to take her away so her singing could reach the planet 7 8.

The pair prepared an escape route and traveled toward Rovini. Along the way, Robin persuaded Old Zhou and other routed soldiers to become their guards, then sent them toward safety before entering the city because armed travelers could not pass the checkpoint 9 17 19.

In Rovini, Robin secured government broadcasting support for a performance in Central Square. Sounding ore placed by the Stellaron Hunters helped her Harmony-infused song reach all of Vesna IV. A gunman shot her in the neck, but she continued singing; afterward, crowds called for peace and an end to the fighting 21 23 24 28.

The attack caused her Imaginary Energy to run out of control. Jingxing used his newly awakened power and the brush Big White Cloud to mend it, saving her 24 27.

Recovery and later career

Robin recommended that Jingxing seek help for his eyes at Herta Space Station. They separated but stayed in contact while she recovered and resumed vocal exercises. At her comeback press conference, she said her Vesna IV experiences had inspired her new album 27 29 33 37.

Jingxing’s graduation painting, “Robin Leads the People,” depicted her and the crowd at Vesna IV. It received the highest score in his class and was accepted into the academy gallery 36.

Reunion with Jingxing

After returning to Thousand Stars City, Jingxing told Robin about his position in the Corporation and promised to help her regain control over her contracts and schedule. He confessed that he wanted to share his life with her, and she accepted his feelings 137.

Robin later told Sunday that she was with Jingxing of her own free will. She and Jingxing spent a day together at a night market, racetrack, and beach; when he departed the city, she promised to send him the first copy of her finished album 139 140 141.
