## Biography

### Background

Robynne Dreese raised her sons Ellis and Taylor in the small town of Deepwater. When Ellis and his wife had a son of their own, he was named Robert after his grandmother. Robert's parents died in a car accident three years later, with the boy adopted by his Uncle Taylor, who lived with Robynne. Robynne was close to her grandson, but died when he was about seven or eight. Robert was devastated by the loss of his grandmother, and now had Taylor as his only remaining family.

### Week 1

After defeating Day LaMode, Robert meets with Kunapipi to figure out what will become of his life since his Spirit Guard transformation has left him with a woman's body. It's decided that it would be unsafe for Rob's identity to continue using her birth name, so Rob is prompted to rename herself. Remembering that she was named after her grandmother, the newly dubbed Robynne Ellis Darling decides to adopt her grandmother's given name, as she wants her name to keep a connection to her family, and people can continue to call her Rob for short. While Rob assumes the name is spelled "Robin", the actual spelling of "Robynne" is in records the Hush Corps have found and is the one they use in creating Rob's new documentation.

When Rob later has an emotional breakdown over not being able to speak to her uncle due to her different voice, she comments that it's the first time she's cried since the death of her grandmother ten years ago. That evening, Rob looks through photos of her relatives with Vivian to see if they can trace the origin of her new body's traits. Rob is found to largely resemble her mother, and it's considered possible that her short height stems from her grandmother.

### Weeks 2-4

Over the weekend, Nick and Will finish the documentation for Rob's new identity. When Rob receives it from Noriko that Monday, she is displeased to find her name spelled "Robynne" rather than "Robin", then realizes that she didn't really remember how her grandmother's name was spelled when she agreed to take up her name. She is advised against having it changed, however, as Will might be detected if he were to hack Rob's records a second time.

### Week 5

When NightKnight meets Rob and Stacy and hears that they along with Cory and Eli were at Buy Bright just before yesterday's Cell-celia attack, he is eager for the two cheerleaders to tell him what they witnessed for the sake of his ConSpiriters work. Rob, worrying that her secret identity is at risk of getting exposed, tries to get the other two off the topic. When that fails, she resorts to making herself cry to end the conversation entirely. She berates herself for having to recall her grandmother's funeral in order to get herself to cry, finding it disrespectful of her grandmother's memory.

## Relationships

### Robert Dreese/Robynne Darling

Robynne's grandson Robert was named after her, and after his parents died, he lived with her and Taylor. She was essentially Robert's mother figure and they were rather close, with him calling her "Grammy". Robynne's stories were one of the only ways Robert learned about the late parents he was too young to remember. When Robynne died, the seven- or eight-year-old Robert was devastated, with her funeral one of his saddest memories and the last time he would cry for ten years. When Rob ends up with a female body following his Spirit Guard transformation and is asked to create a new name, Rob takes up Robynne's given name outright, but is unhappy to learn the spelling is too feminine for her tastes only after her new documentation has been made.

### Taylor Dreese

Robynne's son Taylor was living with her when Robert's parents died, so she helped him with raising the child. Robynne's death five years later was a devastating loss for the family and left Robert and Taylor as each other's only living relatives. Taylor is said to have never maintained a serious relationship in part because he's uncomfortable with bringing a woman into his mother's house, a feeling that persists even after Robynne's death.

### Dreese family

In addition to Taylor, Robynne was also the mother of Ellis Dreese. She was apparently close to both Ellis and his wife. Robynne is noted to have closely followed Ellis's football career, and shared the newspaper clippings she'd collected with Robert.
