**Misty Roberts**, known as **Ms. Roberts** in-game, is a character in *Goodbye Volcano High*. She is the homeroom teacher of Fang, Naomi and Reed at Volcano High during senior year.

## Appearance

Ms. Roberts is a middle-aged ceratosaurus woman with lavender skin, a yellow nose horn, and violet markings around her yellow eyes. Her hair is crisp white/grey and in a bobcut. She wears a long-sleeved black outfit with a white collar and white cuffs with golden buttons, a black necklace with a round, golden object at the end, and a pair of thin, golden glasses on a matching gold loop around her neck.

## Personality

Ms. Roberts is a strict, no-nonsense teacher who does not tolerate her students being distracted and does not like them using their phones; even if Fang claims they are merely taking notes, this is not a good enough excuse for her. Fang made a notebook doodle of Ms. Robert's face with "boring!!" written under it. Despite Fang's apparent disdain of Roberts, she notably does not misgender or deadname Fang, even if it can be considered a low bar when it comes to respect, and the same cannot be said for Fang's own mother Sabah.

Despite her strict and grumpy attitude, she is not a snob nor arrogant; for example, she does not talk down to Reed when he says he wants to be a simple delivery driver, and instead commends him for a "smart" choice that there will always be need for. However, she does express a bit of judgement and pessimism towards Fang's ambitious desire to become a musician, saying, "Well, you still have several months to think of a viable career."

## Story

### Episode One

On the first day, Fang mentions with utter contempt that they have Ms. Roberts for homeroom, along with Reed and Naomi. As Fang and Reed attempt to converse, Ms. Roberts then enters, and tells the two of them to go and sit down.

She welcomes the seniors back, warning them that they're still "in the nest" but that they'll be on their own in nine months. She begins going around the class asking the students their future career plans, starting with Reed. Fang is distracted trying to text their new Worm Drama logo concept to Reed, and is reprimanded by Ms. Roberts before demanding Fang turn their phone over.

Later, when meeting up with Trish and Reed in the Music Room, Fang has the option of joking about Ms. Roberts being hungover.

### Episode Three

After the audition for Battle of the Bands, during homeroom, Ms. Roberts mentions the approaching deadline for college applications, and how Naomi may be of aid. When Reed brings up concerns about the Asteroid impacting their future, Ms. Roberts says that there's little reason for concern, and tries to reassure him that they're only in the early detection period, and the probability of impact should shrink over time as models gain accuracy. Moreover, if it would hit, it most likely not hit anything important. After explaining her stance, she raises that there will always be excuses to not plan for the future.

### Episode Four

Ms. Roberts is overseeing the college presentation meeting in the auditorium being done by Naomi and Naser.

### Episode Eight

During Fang's performance, Ms. Roberts can be seen attending Worm Drama's performance. She is seen holding LJ's arm, leading to speculation that the two have entered a relationship.

## Development History

Ms. Roberts was first revealed in a tweet made by KO\_OP on October 6, 2020. At the time, she used the "Mrs." honorific, suggesting she was married. At the time of the game's first public demo in early 2023, and in the full version of the game, the honorific had changed to "Ms."

Her first name Misty was revealed in December 2023 when someone asked KO\_OP's social media.
