Robin Page

**Robin Page** is the main protagonist of *The Guild Codex: Demonized* series. She is The Crow and Hammer's first and only demon contractor—and unbeknownst to her fellow guildeds, a rogue. Robin and her illegally contracted demon, Zylas Vh'alyir, were the ones to kill the unbound demon on Halloween.

She and Amalia are currently the only known descendants of Anthea Athanas.

## Appearance

Robin's most prominent feature is her height. At only five-foot-one, she is exceedingly short—barely clearing Zylas's shoulder. Robin has thick, brunette hair cut in a shoulder-length bob around a heart-shaped face. She has bangs. When tied in a ponytail, with the assistance of many bobby pins, Robin's hair sticks off the back of her head and loose strands tend to fall out and frame her face.

A pair of dark-rimmed glasses are perpetually perched on her small nose, though when she loses her glasses in the storm drains, Robin temporarily resorts to wearing contacts.

Robin's large, ocean-blue eyes are lined with thick lashes. She has a very pale complexion—one that displays any flush starkly. She has a slender figure and equally slender hands; when pressed flat against Zylas's, hers are completely dwarfed.

Robin gains multiple scars across her two encounters with Red Rum. Post her kidnapping, Robin receives a thin, white scar arcing along her throat, two inches in length. Before that, Robin is inflicted three long scars running parallel across her inner forearm.

## Skills, Abilities and Weapons

Along with being a Demonica mythic, Robin is a sorceress in the Arcana class, though she'd never begun an apprenticeship.  Her entire life, Robin had only studied magic, never practiced it. After discovering the nature of her family's function—that they'd been summoners going back generations—she teaches herself basic Arcana: cantrips and hexes.

Robin has an affinity for knowledge. She is a abundantly curious about everything—a fact permeated throughout her penchant for books. She is always studying or reading up on some obscure myth. She has a college-level fluency in Latin, though she understands only the essentials of the language.

Robin is exceptionally good at baking. It brings her great comfort.

### Artifacts

Robin later creates her own artifact. A sorceress in her own right, she has the ability to imbue basic items with magical properties. Her artifact is a domino-sized steel rectangle she's got looped on a chain beside the infernus. It is utilized in combat for defense.

The infernus is where Zylas's soul resides. Within it, he can hear her thoughts.

On several occasions, Robin dons a self defense shirt—hex clothing designed by Amalia. The shirt is integrated with a myriad of miniscule hexes arranged in a pattern.

### Contract

Within or without the infernus, Zylas can hear Robin's thoughts. He can communicate telepathically with her—and vice versa, though it only works once their minds are opened and linked to each other. Through the contract magic, they have the ability to merge their magics: an amalgamation of Robin's arcana and Zylas's demonic power.

## History

Robin grew up sheltered and ignorant to her history. Shielded of the Athanas bloodline's weighty responsibility by Robin's mother—Sarah Page—Robin lived a life in relative ease. She formerly lived in Burnaby, British Columbia with her family.

Her entire life, Robin's parents had ingrained in her the instinct to shy away from magic. She was reared in the mantra, *stay away from magic and it'll stay away from you.*

On her fourteenth birthday, Sarah gifted Robin The Complete Compilation of Arcana Cantrips to study. Robin, naturally curious despite her entrenched inhibitions about magic, read the entire book, back to front. Robin spent the majority of her time with her parents fascinated by the prospects and nuances of magic, but never felt any desire for more.

Unbeknownst to Robin, the mysterious, ancient grimoire her mother harbored belonged to her ancestors, the Athanas Summoners. It was their duty to guard the information documented in the book coveted by so many, and slowly their descendants had dwindled, one by one. Robin's mother suspected someone was aware of the Grimoire. She contacted her brother for the first time in years and pled for help. Jack obliged, and they planned to meet and discuss the dangers.

That night, both Robin's mother and father were killed in a car crash initiated by Claude Mercier.

Alone and grieving, Robin resided in her parents' home for six months before Jack sold it without her permission. She moved to his property and engaged in a contract with Zylas shortly after.

## Relationships

### Amalia

Amalia is Robin's cousin. She is an older-sister figure.

### Zylas

Zylas is Robin's illegally contracted demon, her protector, ally and lover. Their contract entails Zylas protect her in exchange for baked goods. The contract magic also allows them the ability to communicate telepathically and amalgamate their magic. Robin is currently searching for a way to send him home.

### Claude

Robin hates Claude. He killed her parents in an attempt to gain the Athanas Grimoire and nearly stole Zylas from her. She wants him dead.

### Darius King

Darius is intrigued by Robin and Zylas's relationship. Robin told him about everything but the Grimoire and he inducted her and Amalia into The Crow and Hammer.
