HISTORY
if you’re new to the show or you aren’t fully caught up, you can find robin’s wiki page here. her canon history is summarised below! (if i’ve mentioned anything that’s been altered by characters already in play, please let me know and i’ll fix it asap!)
she was born and raised in hawkins, and during school she kept herself busy with her studies. she learned multiple languages, loved to play soccer, and learned to play the french horn.
got a job at scoops ahoy where she met steve, who she teased and befriended, despite disliking him in school. through this job she also met dustin and overheard him talking about intercepting a secret russian transmission. bored, she helped dustin and steve translate the transmission and tracked down where it was coming from: hawkins mall. she also later cracked the russian’s code.Â
got trapped in a russian elevator with steve, dustin, and erica, then had to enter the russian base with no where else to go. this is where she saw a portal to the upside down for the first time. :)Â
robin and steve were captured and drugged, but soon escaped and had a heartfelt conversation while sobering up. they’re then trapped in the mall with the others.
when the gang were all reunited, robin was taught about the upside down, eleven’s powers, and what had happened to will. was chased by the mind flayer in the car with a group of the others, and was present during the final battle against the mindflayer
got a job at family video with steve, her now best friend.Â
