Robbie Valentino (Gravity Hurts)

## Robbie Valentino

**Robert Stacey "Robbie" Valentino** is a major character in Gravity Hurts and the father of Hudson and Dixie Valentino, and the husband of Sage Valentino.

## Background

### Personality

In contrast to his teenage years, Robbie has become more composed and balanced when it comes to his mood. He has learned how to be more responsive and compassionate to people, especially the ones he cares about like his family and friends.

### Physical appearance

Robbie has black hair in a typical eye-covering "emo style", pale skin, and piercings. Like many characters on the show, he has a pink nose. He has been seen wearing a black guitar around his chest. He usually wears tight skinny jeans with several keychains from the pockets. He also wears a black hoodie with a picture of a red bleeding heart with a scar on it and stitches, along with black fingerless gloves. He has a sparse stubble (two strands of small hairs) on his chin, and a few pimples scattered around his face.

As the years passed by, Robbie's style changed from the emo-style he is known for having, into a more relaxed style where he still has his black hair that no longer covers his eyes and is now shorter. He usually wears more comfortable and loose clothes he can be more flexible in. He has a slight stubble on his chin that he has claimed he's trying to grow into a beard.
