Robin (FE) (F)

Robin, also known as Reflet, Avatar, My Unit, High Deliverer, Genius Tactician and Daraen, is one of the main protagonists from the Fire Emblem series.
== Charactah Account ==
A traveler who remembers nothing prior to being found by the wayside. Chrom realized their tactical genius and enlisted them in the Shepherds, where they are well-liked. The biggest mystery of the group. It is revealed later in the game that the Avatar is Validar's child and the vessel required for the resurrection of the Fell Dragon Grima. Their mother was a member of the Grimleal and presumably Validar's girlfriend/wife/lover/Dark Mistress, but at some point, she betrayed the cult and took the infant Robin away to safety, allowing them to grow up in a relatively peaceful environment. Grima's arrival from the future caused them to lose their memory when they first met Chrom.
Robin's history is shrouded in mystery, making them the greatest enigma of the Shepherds. Despite this, Robin's skill in war tactics is unparalleled, allowing them to guide Chrom's army to victory over opposing forces greater in number and possibly even experience. They are highly ingenious, creating strategies on the fly and even whipping up "crazy" plans or new war tactics out of pure inspiration. Because of their strategic mindset, Robin is highly perceptive to the others' feelings, and can figure out the source of most people's inner turmoils in a matter of a few important conversations. Tiki notes that Robin is surprisingly similar to Marth, due to their charismatic nature and ability to befriend everyone they meet.
Robin is an avid reader of books. They have a penchant for history, but they're also a fan of reading novels as well. While friendly, they have a tendency of getting exasperated over the antics of some of the more colorful cast members. They generally care about the well being of everyone in army, and not just Chrom. For instance, Male Robin is deeply concerned about Basilio's well being when the latter admits to venturing outside of the castle walls alone. Though modest to a fault, they are somewhat prideful of their tactical abilities. When Virion repeatedly bests them in a strategy board game, Robin is absolutely dejected and then suggests that Virion should be the one to lead the army. They firmly believe in the concept of forming bonds within the army, believing that these bonds make them stronger than if they were to fight separately.

== Trivia ==
* Robin, is also the Japanese name of a playable character from Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
* With 2 genders, 3 heights, 5 unique face styles for each body type, 5 hairstyles, and 20 possible hair colors, Robin has a whopping 3000 possible appearances. This makes them the second most customizable character in terms of appearances.
* The battle models for all Outrealm characters, except for Marth, are created from the same collection of avatar customization parts used to customize Robin.
* In the Japanese Version of Awakening, Robin had the option to have no voice at all. In-game dialogue involving Robin would be written as ellipses ( "..." "...!", etc.), and the rest of the script was rewritten to accommodate. This was removed in the international release.
** SpotPass and StreetPass characters use ellipses during Level Up and certain Event Tile quotes, except for item finding ones.
* Robin placed 2nd in the female and 3rd in the male category for the Fire Emblem Awakening Character Popularity Polls in Japan.
** Male Robin came in 8th for males in the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends popularity poll, he had 14,149 total votes. Female Robin came in 11th for females and had 10,387 total votes.
* The sleeves of Robin's Tactician and Grandmaster outfits have eyes that resemble those found on the Mark of Grima and the same markings on Validar's pants, further hinting at their connection.
* Yoshimasa Hosoya and Miyuki Sawashiro, the voices for the Male and Female Robin respectively in the Japanese version also voices Male and Female Morgan respectively.
** One of Male Robin's English voices (Chris Smith) also voices Yarne, Slayde from Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and Reinhardt, Legion, and Seth in Fire Emblem Heroes, while one of Robin's female voices (Michelle Ruff) voices Noire, as well as Soleil from Fire Emblem Fates in her appearance in Heroes.
** David Vincent, one of Male Robin's English voices, also voices Michalis (from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem) in his appearance in Heroes.
** Female Robin's Japanese voice actress, Miyuki Sawashiro, also voices Camilla.
** Male Robin's Japanese voice actor, Yoshimasa Hosoya, also voices Shigure.
** Lauren Landa, one of Female Robin's English voices, also voices Sheena from Mystery of the Emblem in her appearance in Heroes, as well as Yuzu from Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) in her appearance in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
* Male Robin has the highest number of support conversations in Awakening with 59 different supports (47 regular/romantic and 12 children conversations).
* Rhajat's dialogue in the Japanese version of Fire Emblem Fates implies that Robin is reincarnation of Corrin in her support with Corrin.
* Female Robin is the only character whose hair color cannot be passed down to her children.
* If the player creates their Avatar with a scar or an eyepatch, this feature is mirrored between their left and right-facing character portraits.
* Robin's official render for Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U has both genders of Robin equipped with a Levin Sword. Male Robin has a Thunder tome while Female Robin wields an Elwind tome.
* In Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U, Robin uses the Nosferatu Tome despite the fact that they cannot normally wield it as a Tactician.
* Robin's name in the German version of the Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U homepage (Daraen) differs from his default name in the German version of Awakening (Robin). Strangely Robin was named Daraen on the German website of Awakening, too.
** Curiously, the announcement trailer in the German version of the Nintendo e-Shop is titled Lucina & Robin. The trailer for the Pokémon newcomers is correctly translated to their German names, indicating that both Robin or Daraen could show up as Robin's name in the final German release version of Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U. In the final German version of both games, he is named Daraen.
** His name is still Daraen in Fire Emblem Heroes.
* Robin is the only playable unit in Awakening to not have an official artwork aside from their in game portrait.
** They are also the only Avatar unit that does not have an official artwork aside from their in game portraits.
* Robin's amiibo Hero Battle team in Fates is based off of Robin's very first allies from Awakening:
** Mercenary (Paired Up with Robin): Chrom
** Shrine Maiden: Lissa
** Great Knight: Frederick
* If Robin is recruited and running the armory in Fates, he will remark how the weapons do not "wear out over time". This is a nod to the fact Fates is the second game in the series to not have standard weapon durability after Fire Emblem Gaiden. This is also a jab at his Super Smash Bros character, who cycles through weapons as their durability gives out.
* In Heroes, Male Robin is the only Avatar unit to have a summoning animation as well as the final boss of the Tempest Trials.
* In Heroes, Female Robin is the only Avatar unit to be the Grand Hero.
* In Heroes, Female Robin's Grand Hero Battle map is based on Awakening Paralogue 12.
* In Warriors, Female Robin is the one of the two Avatar units to be unlocked in the History Mode. The other one is Male Corrin.
** This also makes her the only unit to be unlocked in the History Mode that isn't a Lord unit.
* Female Robin is the only playable Fire Emblem character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U who doesn't have a amiibo of herself.
* According to Naga and Tiki in Awakening and the younger Tiki in Warriors, Robin's power resembles their own. This is presumably due to Grima having been created from Divine Dragon's blood.
* Male Robin (Fell Reincarnation) is the winner of the 11th Voting Gauntlet (Shadow in the Mirror) and the 22nd Voting Gauntlet (Destructive Forces) in Heroes as Grima.
* Legendary Robin (F) was the first colorless dragon introduced in Heroes as well as the first colorless legendary hero introduced to the game.
** This also makes her the first Avatar unit to be a legendary hero.
* For most of Robin's S-Supports in Awakening, Id~(Serenity) is played instead of the default Marriage theme, the exceptions to this being Cordelia and Ricken.
