* TookALevelInIdealism: Due to being on the run for most of her life, and constantly having to backstab every criminal organization she joined in order to survive, Robin starts the series with an understandably cynical outlook on people, believing that she will inevitably be betrayed again. After growing to love the Straw Hats she eventually leaves them after her encounter with CP9 believing that, with the attention of the World Government on her head, they will consider her a burden and leave her like everyone else. After the Straw Hats declare war on the entire world for her sake Robin realizes that she finally has a place to belong and gains to will to live. This is even reflected in the Zou arc when Catviper warns Robin that, since she is the only one who can read the Poneglyphs, eventually pirates searching for the One Piece will chase after her. Robin's response is to merely state that she isn't worried because she has powerful friends to protect her.

->''"Live? I didn't think I could wish for that... No one ever allowed me to wish it... If it's really okay to make a little wish... I... '''I WANT TO LIVE! TAKE ME TO SEA TO WITH YOU!!!'''"''
-->--'''Chapter 398'''
AdventurerArchaeologist, [[HeelFaceTurn ex]]-[[TheDragon Dragon]], and MsExposition, Nico Robin is one of the darker and more enigmatic members of the Straw Hats. Entering the story [[TheDragon as the partner of]] BigBad Mister 0/Sir Crocodile under the alias Miss All Sunday, Robin asked to join the crew because Luffy had forced her to live, rather than die. Despite some initial mistrust, she gradually settled into the crew. Since those early uncertain days, she's become something of the crew's TeamMom, and occasionally plays the role of CoolBigSis for Nami. Her Devil Fruit, the Flower-Flower Fruit (''Hana Hana no Mi''), lets her sprout replicas of her limbs, and later her entire body, from any surface. She is twenty-eight years old (thirty post-TimeSkip).
Unfortunately, her past eventually caught up to her and it was revealed that she's been on the run from the World Government for twenty years, after [[DoomedHometown her home island of Ohara was razed]], and a large bounty was placed on her head. However, after the rest of the crew proved that they were willing to essentially declare war on the World Government in order to get her back, she realized that she had finally found her place in life, and that she was not a burden to her new friends.
Her dream is to learn the history of the Void Century, a passage of time blacked out by the World Government, which is said to be written in a lost language inscribed onto huge stone cubes called Poneglyphs.[[note]]Moreover, she believes that the "True Poneglyph" has the information she's looking for.[[/note]] Simply learning the language of the Poneglyphs is a capital crime, and is the reason that everyone on her island, including her mother, were killed by the Marines. She is now one of only a handful of people in the world who can read them, allowing her to not only discover the true history of the world, but also to potentially revive a lost superweapon.
She has a bounty of 130,000,000 berries.[[note]]Her first bounty was 79,000,000 berries, given to her at merely 8 years old and under the false pretenses of "sinking several battle ships"; in reality, she was wanted dead for surviving the government's massacre of Ohara. Her second bounty of 80,000,000 berries was given for her involvement in the Enies Lobby incident; most recently, it was raised to 130,000,000 for her involvement in taking down Doflamingo in Dressrosa.[[/note]] She currently holds one record for her bounties, being the person with the most known bounty picture updates (with 3).

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:A - C]]
* AbsoluteCleavage: Depends on the outfit, but it shows up quite a bit. Her first post-TimeSkip outfit is the most infamous example.
* AchillesHeel: Despite the versatility of her Devil Fruit, it has limits as to where she can sprout limbs: she can't create limbs on surfaces made of [[PowerNullifier Seastone]], surfaces that don't have enough room, or surfaces that can't be grabbed (which renders her powerless against Logia-eaters as she does not possess [[KiManipulation Haki]]).
* ActionGirl: Robin is completely able to keep up with the Monster Trio (Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji) in a fight; this comes full-circle when [[spoiler:she joins with Kyros and Rebecca for the fight against Diamanté, one of Doflamingo's [[TheDragon dragons]], a role only taken by the aforementioned Trio.]]
* ActuallyADoombot: Has gained the ability to make “Flower clones” with her Flower-Flower Fruit, which is useful for infiltration and espionage without running the risk of getting captured. She uses this ability to flee from the Oniwabanshu in Wano.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her eyes are light brown in the {{manga}}, ''[[Anime/OnePieceFilmStrongWorld Strong World]]'' and ''[[Anime/OnePieceFilmZ Film Z]]'', but they're blue in the TV series and [[{{Film}} movies]] 7-9.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: She's a sea-faring pirate, former assassin, and the Straw Hat's resident well for information on all things historical. Notably though, she technically [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this trope because she actually employs the methods and ideology of real archaeologists rather than the "Indiana Jones" methods; destroying ancient artifacts and sites will set her off and she spends hours quietly studying books about history.
* AffirmativeActionGirl: Considering she joined the crew right after the previous second girl (Vivi) left.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Due to her eating the Flower-Flower Fruit, the Ohara citizens treated her as an outsider with Saul and Olivia as the noteworthy exceptions. It went FromBadToWorse after she was given a bounty, as people constantly either threw her away in fear of being considered criminals, or [[BitchInSheepsClothing acted nice to her only to turn on her by selling her location to the Marines]].
* AlmightyJanitor: Robin detests fighting, preferring to leave the dirty business to the Straw Hats that enjoy it and saving her Devil Fruit power for support purposes. If she is pushed however, her foes will quickly discover she is not to be trifled with, as her Hana attacks are practically unavoidable and are aimed at ending a fight as quickly and brutally as possible.
* TheAloner: After Ohara's destruction, she spent most of her time being on the run with no friends of her own, until she met the Straw Hats.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Robin's the third tallest member of the crew (6'2"), has long flowing dark locks, is widely considered to be the most attractive member of the crew, and has an austere and sophisticated personality.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Cares more about the Straw Hat pirates than the entire rest of the world, given that they are the only ones since Ohara to care about her.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In the pre-TimeSkip anime, her skin was darker than Zoro's. Her pale skin post-TimeSkip (which she always had in the {{manga}}) threw a few people off. It's noteworthy that her skin became lighter (but not outright light) while staying in the snowy Tequila Wolf.
* AntagonistAbilities: Introduced as morally ambiguous, Robin's powers make her an efficient LongRangeFighter who can easily cripple her opponents with virtually no opportunity for resistance, with [[PowersDoTheFighting little action needed from her end]]. Now that she's a protagonist, her abilities are kept in check by either not giving her too many fights or somehow handicapping her when she has the opportunity. Unlike the rest of the crew, Robin tends to avoid fighting or using her ability at all unless she's forced to, which gives her several advantages, mainly that of ambiguity, as because she doesn't fight, no one can properly gauge her strengths or weaknesses. It's also implied that she mostly developed killing techniques during her time abroad and in Baroque Works, and there's an unwritten rule among the Straw Hats not to kill their opponents.
* TheAntichrist: The Marines believe that she's one, anyway. Her Marine-created nickname of "Demon Child" comes from a belief that her bloodline is tainted and that she has the knowledge/power to destroy the world, or at least start Armageddon. This all turns out to be a fabrication by the higher echelons of the World Government to cover up her ability to read Poneglyphs -- and thus blow the whistle on the hidden history of the world -- and ensure she has no allies to turn to.
* AntiHero: A PragmaticHero type. Robin is the only Straw Hat who is initially introduced as a true AntiVillain, whose only goal was survival, only to eventually become a Straw Hat. At first, she only stowaways on the Going Merry to escape Alabasta (and the Marines) after Luffy's defeat of Crocodile. Although Robin allies with the Straw Hats afterwards, her true loyalties continue to be ambiguous until she becomes a full-fledged member of the Straw Hat Pirates for good after being saved in Enies Lobby. While she's a good person, she still remains one of the most ruthless fighters of the crew, using brutal force when defeating enemies.
* AntiVillain: Initially joined Baroque Works if for no other reason than to survive long enough to read a Poneglyph, and has no personal interest in power, until becoming a PragmaticHero after joining the crew.
* BadassAdorable: Despite her stoic demeanor, she is really cute, and more than capable of handling herself in a fight.
* BadassBookworm: She uses her powers to break grown men's spines in half and snap their necks (which is obviously either an instant kill or bound to cause a lot of pain), and then once the adventure is over, she kicks back and studies her archaeology and history books.
* BadassCape: Downplayed. Her Animal Kingdom outfit has a cape, but she plays the part of a simple mook.
* BadassInDistress: She willingly becomes a prisoner to the World Government in the Enies Lobby arc. After the Straw Hats declare war on the World Government, she plays a leading role in her own rescue mission and helps the Straw Hats defeat [=CP9=].
* BareYourMidriff: Happens on and off through the series with her various outfits, like in the Skypiea and Fish-Man Island saga.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Typically abandons her colleagues to save herself when the Marines close in on her, knowing that they'd betray her given the chance. But when the Straw Hat Pirates don't do that upon meeting Admiral Aokiji, she gives herself up to the Marines in Water 7 in order to ensure their safety. Naturally, that doesn't roll with the Straw Hats. [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu They burn the World Government flag]] just to let her know that [[TrueCompanions they will always be there for her.]] Enies Lobby is destroyed not long after.
* BecomingTheMask: Robin originally plans to use the Straw Hats as a shield until they deem her too dangerous to protect any longer, as she had with all of the groups she joined. However, after being [[TrueCompanions accepted and loved by them as one of their own]], she chooses to [[HeroicSacrifice give up her life for the sake of her crew]] by giving herself up to [[TheGovernment the government that she has been running away from her whole life]]. Of course, [[RescueArc this doesn't stop the Straw Hats]] from trying to save her, despite her claiming she wants to die, and upon realizing that they will stick by her no matter what, she shouts that she wants to stay in their crew forever and sail the seas with them.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's generally extremely sophisticated and polite, but if you make her mad, heaven help you.
* BigSisterInstinct: She seems to gain one of these towards Rebecca.
* BloodIsSquickerInWater: A RunningGag is her casually pointing this out whenever possible.
* BluntYes: After she explains to Iceberg that the well-being of the Straw Hats is the one thing she values more than her life and the fate of the world.
-->'''Iceberg''': And as long as you have that, you don't care what happens to the rest of the world?\\
'''Robin''': I ''don't''.
* BondBreaker: Her leaving with [=CP9=] really sours things for the Straw Hats.
* BrainyBrunette: Has black hair and is an accomplished archaeologist. She's also one of the most intelligent and levelheaded members of the crew.
* BrokenBird: Due to being pegged for death by a GovernmentConspiracy – specifically, she's the only one able to prove the conspiracy exists. It isn't until the Straw Hats come to save her from Enies Lobby that she realizes that she has finally found her place.
* BuildingSwing: One of the uses for her power is connecting long chains of arms that she uses to swing from building to building. Not as fast as Luffy does it, but it's also much more graceful and controlled.
* CharacterDevelopment: Before the timeskip, she often spoke only when spoken to or if something noteworthy happened. Her calmness is likely a result of the childhood that led to her life of hardship. The calamity that befell Ohara had a profound and traumatizing effect on Robin as a child, which she has only just begun to recover from. However, as she begins to spend more time around the crew, her personality begins to ease up. When Robin is rescued by the Straw Hats from Enies Lobby, it is then that she considers herself both their friend and an official member of the crew. After the timeskip, Robin's personality is much more relaxed and playful in nature (as evidenced by her common giggling), due to her exposure to the other Straw Hats.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: In a much more subtle way than it's normally handled in fiction. Though it doesn't portray itself through the freakish physicality of Luffy, Zoro or Sanji, it's implied that Robin has some variety of SuperStrength. She's not only capable of breaking the bones of people with explicitly superhuman capabilities in a way that requires a bit more of an explanation than 'leverage and superior skill,' though that certainly plays a part. She's also incredibly agile and is capable of carrying around Franky, who is more than seven feet tall and made almost entirely of metal, while both swinging around and flying. Proven even more when she [[spoiler:stops [[SuperSpeed Hakuba]] like it was nothing.]]
* TheChessmaster: How she handled Baroque Works. It's how she ''tried'' to handle her own capture by the Marines, but the rest of the Straw Hats destroyed her plans.
* ChildProdigy: At only eight years old, she aced an archaeology exam and was officially inducted as a scholar; Robin is also able to read the Poneglyphs.
* ChristmasCake: Although she usually shows no signs of age angst, when she is de-aged to 18 in the Z Film and wants to return to normal, Usopp jokes that she should be happy that everything is in the right place. She does not take his comment well.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: As part of her OffstageVillainy, she apparently betrayed a lot of organizations; prior to the Straw Hats (and it got pretty close), every other group she's been a part of has been destroyed. Something of an InformedFlaw, though: the only one she has actually been seen betraying was Crocodile when she lied about the text on the Poneglyph. Otherwise, her flashback shows that a lot of her groups betrayed ''her'', especially by trying to hand her in to the government so that they could claim the bounty on her head.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Despite her pretty stoic and calm disposition, Robin has a very vivid immagination and can be quite eccentric.
* CodeName: During her time in Baroque Works as Mr. 0's partner, her alias is "Miss All Sunday".
* CombatPragmatist: No one should ever expect a fair fight from her. She fights to win and does ''not'' care one bit how she does it.
* TheComicallySerious: When the ''entire crew'' is [[WildTake open-mouthed and bulging their eyes at the sight in front of them]], even ''Zoro'', Robin retains her composure completely, although not even she can keep her composure when faced with the sheer naivete of the Tontatta.
* TheConsigliere: To Crocodile; she apparently ran most of the day-to-day operations of Baroque Works.
* ContraltoOfDanger: One of the deepest female voices in the series goes to the woman whose M.O. leaves her opponents crippled.
* CoolBigSis: To Nami. Over the TimeSkip, she also seems to have become one to Koala, considering she views Robin as an older sister.
* CoolShades: Part of her post-timeskip attire. Usually wears it over her head, but she was recently seen wearing it during the fight in Fish-Man Island.
* CreepyGood: Robin is one of only two members of the Straw Hats to have killed in the past (she used to be an assassin and TheDragon to Crocodile). She is the only member who still uses her powers to kill (or at least severely injure), and frequently makes morbid comments about death. Her power to grow body parts from any surface also adds to her creep factor.
* CryCute: Good grief; [[http://img.wan.renren.com/images/2012/1024/1351070027825.jpg Robin in tears]] is ''so'' adorable you'd want to hug and protect her. Seriously, it makes you completely forget she was the right-hand lady of one of the most vicious mass-murderers in the Grand Line.
* CutenessProximity: She finds Kanjuro's Rising Dragon so cute that it makes her blush ''heavily'', and look seconds away from entering CutenessOverload territory.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:D - J]]
* DamselInDistress: Twice.
** Most of Enies Lobby is a RescueArc where the Straw Hats are fighting the [=CP9=] to save Robin. However, her status as a damsel in distress is justified by the fact that she willingly let herself get captured. She felt she had to die, so she surrendered to the World Government. Plus, although she was bound with Seastone by the time she regained the will to live, she still tried her best to escape, and the only reason she failed was because Spandam kept using Funkfreed to keep her in line. She started fighting back the moment she was freed from the Seastone.
** The second time was when Bartholomew Kuma blasted her to Tequila Wolf, where she was forced to work as a slave. But in this case, she was saved by Revolutionaries more or less instantly, while apparently in the process of her own escape attempt and might not have been bound with [[KryptoniteFactor Seastone]] anyway, making her status as "distressed" questionable at best.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Miniskirt, specifically. Though this was technically only seen in her introductory "cow girl" outfit, she's still been pulling off the effect anyway with short dresses ever since.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Initially abandoned by her parents and left to her abusive aunt and uncle until she learned to be a top archaeologist at age 8, her parents (and all the other people of her land, Ohara) were then killed by the World Government for [[SheKnowsTooMuch learning too much about the "True History"]]. Although Robin was allowed to escape, she ended up on the lam, spending the rest of her childhood being betrayed by various people until she took cover in the Baroque Works crime syndicate.
* DarkMagicalGirl: While first appearing as a DarkActionGirl, an essential part of her FreudianExcuse for the more morally ambiguous things she did was the fact that she has been alone, hunted and constantly in fear of betrayal for about 20 years before the series began. The fact that the Straw Hats expressed unconditional love and friendship towards her made her into a better, less treacherous person.
* DeadpanSnarker: Emphasis on deadpan, it's hard to tell when she's being serious or yanking somebody else's chain. Her sarcasm is more noticeable as Miss All Sunday.
* DeepSouth: The 4Kids dub had her speak in a thick UsefulNotes/{{Texas}} accent, presumably because she wore a [[NiceHat cowboy hat]] in her first appearance.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Towards Spandam in the Enies Lobby arc after the Straw Hats declare war on the World Government.
* DefrostingIceQueen: While civil and polite to the Straw Hats from the beginning, it took until Enies Lobby for her to break down and finally express/realize her true feelings about the crew.
* DisappearedDad: Robin's dad seems to have perished, some time around when she was very little. We don't know the exact details or if he's really dead, just that Robin's mother claims he was.
* DissonantSerenity: She can talk about death and gruesome possible fates just as easily and calmly as she can talk about the weather.
* TheDogBitesBack: During her imprisonment at Enies Lobby, Spandam took every possible opportunity to physically beat her while she was helpless and ''laugh in her face'' while he did it. When Franky catches up to them and unlocks her handcuffs, the very first thing Robin does is use her powers to [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge beat Spandam to a bloody pulp]]. She gets another moment of this while the Straw Hats are making their escape, using her powers to forcibly bend Spandam backwards until his spine breaks clean in two.
* DoomedHometown: More like "Doomed Homeland"; her home island of Ohara was destroyed by the Buster Call to stop the archeologists from revealing the truth about the World Government.
* DoNotCallMePaul: When she works as a member of Baroque Works, she rejects the use of her birth name.
* DoppelgangerAttack: She can make full body copies of herself with her powers after the TimeSkip.
* TheDragon: She's introduced as Miss All Sunday, Crocodile's right-hand woman, and would constantly follow and assist him during the Alabasta Arc. However, she's never openly mean to the Straw Hats, which makes her request to join them, after Crocodile's capture, much easier.
* EnigmaticMinion: Although she's Crocodile's closest subordinate, her allegiance as a Baroque Works member is not fully clear. She's often close to Crocodile but never opposes the Straw Hats, when she confronts them she just warns them about the dangers of fighting her boss. While visiting Alubarna's ruins during the Alabasta arc, Robin lies to Crocodile about the Poneglyph's content and he stabs her for her betrayal. After Crocodile is defeated, Luffy gladly accepts Robin in the crew.
* EnfantTerrible: Subverted, but the World Government [[BlatantLies would like folks to believe this]], claiming she sank six ships by the time she was ''eight.''
* EvilSoundsDeep: Creator/YurikoYamaguchi deliberately gave her a lower voice to the villainous Miss All Sunday. Once Robin joined the crew, Yamaguchi plays her with a slightly higher, softer voice.
* FanServicePack: After the timeskip, her breasts have gotten larger and rounder. Unlike with Nami (where it can be somewhat justified since girls ''do'' often have a growth spurt at around 18), there's no good excuse for Robin, who was 28 -- long since grown up -- when introduced. She must have been eating very well during those two years.
* FantasticFightingStyle: During her time with the Revolutionary Army [[spoiler:Nico Robin learned the fundamentals of Fishman Karate from Koala, and some training from Sabo]].
* FlowerMotifs: Her Devil Fruit allows her to sprout extra body parts like budding flowers, and many of her techniques are named after flowers. Her voice actor stated that she is represented by the casablanca, signifying her devotion to her crew and her restoration of innocence after they saved her.
* FriendlessBackground: A variant of it. Due to her introverted nature and having obtained her disturbing LovecraftianSuperpower at a young age, she was [[KidsAreCruel ridiculed as a child by other kids]] and could only make friends with adults -- specifically, the Oharan archaeologists and Jaguar D. Saul. After they were all killed in the Buster Call, she had no close relationships with anyone for the next 20 years until she met the Straw Hats.
* FullNameBasis: Like Zoro, villains only ever call her by her full name.
* {{Gainaxing}}: In [[{{Film}} Movie]] 7, when she [[VictoriasSecretCompartment pulls a piece of paper out of her cleavage]].
* {{Geisha}}: She work as a geisha in Wano to get close to Orochi so she can obtain intel on his forces.
* GenerationXerox: She's a near carbon copy of her mother, Nico Olvia -- she's an archaeologist, she can read the Poneglyphs, they have the same voice, and they look ''exactly'' alike. The only difference is the hair; Olvia's was white, Robin's is dark.
* GenocideBackfire: The World Government was worried that the scholars of her home island, Ohara, would discover the Void Century, a point in time they didn't want anyone to know about. Therefore, they exterminated the entire island. As the SoleSurvivor, Nico Robin vowed revenge by discovering the Void Century.
* GenocideSurvivor: Nico Robin is the only survivor of her island of Ohara mainly due to the island's scholars doing a forbidden practice of researching "The Blank Century", a moment in history that the World Government is trying to keep from the world. When the World Government found out what they were doing, they ''carpet bombed'' the whole island with a Buster Call, a tactic that involves using warships to do so. After which she was hounded relentlessly by government agents when they noted she was alive (largely due to her ability to read Poneglyphs and fearing she would revive the Ancient Weapons which she clearly isn't trying to do), practically forcing her into piracy just to survive. The trauma is the main driving force behind the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs for her actions as she doesn't want that fate to befall the Straw Hats.
* GiantFootOfStomping: With the attack ''Gigantesco Mano'' (Spanish/Italian for "gigantic hand") she makes a giant pair of legs spurt from the ground and then stomps on her enemies multiple times. She can also do the same with her hands and her upper body.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Robin's [[ColorMotifs main color scheme]] is purple and many of her outfits (especially the earlier one), are purple.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: When [[CallingYourAttacks calling up her Devil Fruit powers]], she does so in three different languages, none of which are Japanese. "Fleur" is the French for flower. Before that, the number of appendages she wants to use in Spanish. After, the act she is performing in English.
* GroinAttack: Her method of "convincing" Franky to join the Straw Hats was to...squeeze the ever-loving hell out of his family jewels.
* GuileHeroine: Doesn't show often, but it's true. It's too bad on the occasions it does show, it's against pretty ''good'' {{Chessmaster}}s.
* GulliverTieDown: When she goes to Green Bit, she's captured by the dwarves and tied to the floor with Leo's Devil Fruit in an obvious ShoutOut to ''Literature/GulliversTravels''.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: Twice.
** The first was during the climax of the Alabasta Arc, when the local Poneglyph didn't have the info she wanted and Crocodile [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness turned on her]]. See InterruptedSuicide below for details.
** Later, fearing that her friends would eventually betray her and throw her away, she decides to surrender to the World Government, on the condition that they leave the other Straw Hats alone. However, when the Straw Hats raid Enies Lobby to save her, and burn down the World Government's flag, essentially ''declaring war on the entire world'', Robin realizes that her friends will never betray her, and that she really wants to live.
* HarmfulToMinors: Her childhood was not pleasant, but once the [=CP9=] came to Ohara, it ended up going downhill: She saw her mentor, one few decent people on the island who treated her kindly, shot and mortally wounded, saw her mother beaten and blooded, the entirety of the island razed, a boat full of survivors blown up out of a senseless act of "justice" and her savior frozen solid. Not even getting into having to learn to survive on her own from such a young age and people constantly turning on her thanks to the bogus story the government fabricated about her. It's a miracle she didn't grow up to be a psycho before she joined the Straw Hats.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Okay, so you can duplicate your body parts and make them sprout from anything you can see, I guess that's kind of cool, but how is that useful in a fight-OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO [[NeckSnap THEIR NECK]]?
* HeelFaceTurn: Started out as Crocodile's [[TheDragon Dragon]] before [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she outlives her usefulness]]. Granted, she's never been much of a heel anyway. She used to blatantly never give a crap about Crocodile's goals, [[TheChessmaster and is just using his organization to get what she wanted]]. Too bad for her he knows that from the start.
* HeroicBSOD: After the Ohara incident, the young Robin, at the time eight years old, is completely traumatized to have lost her homeland, the other archeologist and assisting at the death of Jagwar D. Saul.
* HeroicSacrifice: Subverted by the Straw Hats' equally heroic [[UnwantedRescue rescue mission]], [[FlashBack a heartbreaking flashback]], and subsequent heartwarming [[HesitantSacrifice "I want to live!"]] cry.
* HeroicWillpower: Though she doesn't have the insane resilience that Zoro and Luffy possess, when it comes to mental fortitude Robin has everybody beat. After having her shadow ripped out it took about 15 minutes, tops, for her to get back on her feet. To put this in perspective, the average person would be incapacitated for ''three days''. And in a {{Filler}} arc she was awake for multiple days (to prevent her memories from being stolen) and showed zero ill effects. This is justified as she has 20+ years of constant fear and paranoia; she didn't face constant violence, but the emotional strain was immense.
* HeyYou: One of Robin's initially characteristics is to address everyone in the crew by their role, such as calling Zoro "swordsman" or Nami "navigator". It's very rare for Robin to actually utter the name of someone she's talking to (or just referring to) in any dialogue; Robin's defense mechanism to protect her feelings pushes her into being as impersonal as possible to people she meets. However, once Robin is rescued by the Straw Hats and finds her place with them, she starts using their names, showing how close she's gotten to them.
* IconicOutfit: A mild example with her [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/e/e6/Robin%27s_Outfit_Digitally_Colored_Manga.png/revision/latest?cb=20181106130010 Enies Lobby Arc outfit]]. She's generally a [[TheFashionista fashionista]] like Nami, but that particular ensemble is still showing up in merchandise and video games, ''15 years later.'' Like the other Straw Hats, her first TimeSkip outfit is also iconic now, appearing as her primary look in just about all her latest merchandise and depictions despite not having worn it since the Fish-Man Island Arc (circa 2011 in real life).
* ImagineSpot: After Robin truly became a Straw Hat post Enies Lobby, one of the sources of humor on her part are the silly imagination thought bubbles about something she finds amusing or wished it happened, such as imagining Usopp and Zoro carrying her and Luffy on their backs like living rafts to cross a body of water on their way to Punk Hazard.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
** Subverted. Miss All Sunday {{troll}}ed Pell by making it look like she impaled Vivi, but in reality she just sprout an arm out of Vivi's back.
** Ironically, Crocodile stabs her InTheBack and through her chest for [[{{Pun}} backstabbing]] him.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Post-timeskip. Hell, ''pre''-timeskip. Though granted this applies to nearly ''every'' post-pubescent woman in this series that isn't a {{gonk}}.
* InterruptedSuicide: After her hopes of finding the Rio Poneglyph were crushed in Alabasta, she decided to stay inside the crumbling Royal Tomb. She is wounded, but considering her powers she could have easily escaped if she had wanted to. The UnwantedRescue comes in the form of Luffy, who tells her that she's better off living; she disagrees. He ignores her and drags her kicking and screaming out of the tomb. With time, and the PowerOfFriendship, this becomes a HappilyFailedSuicide. Indeed, her ire at being forced to live through that suicide attempt is why she joins the crew initially, her stated line of reasoning more or less being "I'm only alive because of you, so you have to take responsibility."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:K - Q]]
* KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge: Simply reading Poneglyphs is considered a crime because it allows one to read what happened during the Void Century, something which the World Government wants to avoid at any costs. For this reason, Ohara is destroyed twenty years before the beginning of the story, thus Robin lost everything and everyone from her home, and was targeted by the World Government since she was eight years old.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: If somebody loses to her, she's going to make a point of horribly maiming them and having them go out in a particularly undignified manner. Of course, the people who lose to her have almost always ''really'' asked for it. Just ask Spandam.
* KnightInSourArmor: A somewhat different take on the trope. Instead of falling from idealist to cynic, she had her cynicism from a pretty early age (being a renegade from the World Government since 8 does that to a person) and believed only in self-preservation and finding the True History. It was only after her stay with the incredibly optimistic Straw Hats that she felt that there were some people worth protecting.
* LadyOfAdventure: Is dedicated to archaeology and the hunt for the True History, one of the first reasons piracy appealed to her (other than it being her only option for survival).
* LadyOfWar: When fighting, she still remains composed and in control of herself. Her fighting style is both refined and serene, sprouting her body parts from any surface she wants to take down scores of enemies without moving an inch. {{Petal|Power}}s even appear when she uses her powers, adding to her grace in battle.
* LargeHam: It turns out that Robin is the biggest overactor of the crew. Subversion in that she only does this for musicals. Justified in that she thought it was supposed to be an opera. Normally, she is quite serious.
* LastOfHerKind: She's explicitly described as being the last living archaeologist who can read the Poneglyphs.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GhgFIeSBTk Robin Eyecatcher.]]
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark to Nami's light. She's as feminine as Nami, but tends to be more serious and wear darker clothing.
* LivingMacGuffin:
** Because of her ability to read Poneglyphs, the World Government wants Robin dead, and in Water 7 she's captured by agents of [=CP9=]. For the second part of the Water 7 & Enies Lobby arc, Robin acts as a person to be saved and is the driving force of the plot.
** In the New World, it's revealed that the only way to find the island where Roger stashed One Piece is by reading the Poneglyphs, and Robin is the only known person alive capable of doing that. In other words, everyone that wants One Piece will need her to get to it.
---> '''Boss Cat Viper:''' When the time comes and you go about reading those (Poneglyphs), all the Big Names from around the world will surely come to snatch you away!
* LonerTurnedFriend: Aside from Saul and Clover, Robin has no friends until she meets the Straw Hats while all the relationships she had in-between were professional at best. Because of her lonely past, Robin doesn't gain confidence with the crew until they declare war on the World Government and save her at Enies Lobby
* LongRangeFighter: Robin is not very resistant, but her devil fruit is powerful and versatile. This means that as long as she stays out of reach of the enemy, she's able to quickly defeat them. Otherwise they beat her before she can snap their neck.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: It's easy to forget that such a pretty woman's powers involve sprouting extra body parts, including on her opponent, which are frequently used to ''break their spines!''
* MagicPants: Begins making use of this when she gains the ability to create [[MesACrowd full-body clones]], as she also develops the ability to create outfits out of nowhere to clothe them with. Notable in that she blatantly avoided this trope up until this point (and actually still does, the full-body clones being the only application of her powers that have any clothes).
* MasterActor: After two decades of hiding her identity and changing sides to her convenience, Robin has learned to play any role she likes. For this reason, some of the Straw Hats don't trust her when she joins the crew and believe she has some further plans. This comes into play when she infiltrates inside enemies crews to gather information. In Dressrosa, she plays the part of a Donquixote Pirates recruit to lure Trebol away from Sugar, but the attempt fails right before the Tontattas could knock Sugar out. In Wano, Robin dresses up like a geisha to gather info at Orochi's mansion, managing to fool everyone into thinking she's an actual oiran and, at the raid at Onigashima, she plays the part of an Animal Kingdom pirate by laughing at a crucified Momonosuke, although she finds the last role very uncomfortable to play.
* MinoredInAssKicking: Because she doesn't actually get in that many fights, it's easy to forget that Robin is one of the most dangerous members of the crew, and is an experienced and ruthless killer. In a more meta "extremely effective person who's often content to sit back" interpretation of this trope, she's oftentimes allowed the Straw Hats to continue on their journey by doing minor things like talking to locals or picking up a map.
* MsExposition: As the resident BadassBookworm of the Straw Hats crew, she's often the one explaining the world of One Piece for [[IdiotHero Luffy's]] (and consequently the audience's) benefit.
* MsFanservice: Oh yeah. She wears somewhat fetishistic outfits and has a tendency to end up bound (if not gagged). She also [[GoGoEnslavement sports]] AbsoluteCleavage on a [[ViolationOfCommonSense frigid island in the middle of a blizzard]]. Granted, the last one wasn't really her fault or intentional.
* MsImagination: A mild example, as she is often in touch with reality, but her vivid imagination is her other main quirk, and being a NightmareFetishist. The two often overlap, such as when a person hasn't returned by the time he should, she likes to propose he has been eaten by a creepy monster or something similar. On the other end of the scale, her imagination can also be rather childish as when Luffy, due to a LostInTranslation pun, confuses the name "Dressrosa" with "an old hag in a dress", and Robin instantly imagines a funny-looking old lady dancing ballet in a fancy dress.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Her most common use of her [[TouchedByVorlons Devil Fruit power]] is sprouting arms on her opponent(s) and putting them in submission holds, allowing her to fight with multiple limbs. Her standard badass[=/=]dramatic pose in most media involves flourishing fans of arms Kali-style.
* NiceGirl: After joining the Straw Hats, she evolves into one of the nicest Straw Hats, being gentle, soft-spoken and polite, but like the rest of the crew it's a very bad idea to piss her off. Her kindness makes her fit the TeamMom position better than Nami.
* NiceHat: As Miss All-Sunday, she wears a white cowboy hat. She also wears a white hat at Dressrosa.
* NightmareFetishist: Robin is usually very serious in contrast to her whacky crewmates, but has a taste for the macabre that aligns with the Straw Hats' quirkiness. For instance, she suggests "Being of Darkness" as a name for the ''Thousand Sunny'' and calls the Cerberus on Thriller Bark "cute".
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: In times when members of the crew have befallen an uncertain fate, she usually suggests that they suffered the most gruesome demise possible, or otherwise points out macabre points of trivia.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Compared to the other Straw Hats, she is the most realistically drawn, with pupils noticeably larger than in most other female eyes.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** On Thriller Bark, Brook deeply annoys Franky and Robin. The latter stops Franky two times in a row from administering AmusingInjuries. The third time though, Robin just tells Franky that he has her permission to hit Brook now.
** During the Zou Arc, she, Franky, and Brook are the ones who remember to stake a lookout for their samurai friends, as the “mature adults.” While they are all well older than their 17-21 year old crew mates, Robin’s really the only one who could [[{{Manchild}} unreservedly]] be considered “mature.” All three of them end up falling asleep during their watch.
** She also has surprisingly cute quirks sometimes; she has a couple of cutesy ImagineSpot moments, found Kanjuro's Rising Dragon cute to the point of leaving flowers at its "grave", and if Film Z is anything to go by, she has a watering can shaped like a cartoonish zombie.
* MirrorCharacter: From Nami. They both, as young children, were ForcedToWatch their homes being threatened by horrific individuals, driven into criminal activity to survive, had to live constantly on the run, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer know full well what it's like to have your home town absolutely hate you for being alive]], and were both in completely hopeless situations until Luffy came along, and gave them a place to call home.
* NotSoStoic:
** Her time at Enies Lobby has her show her true emotions, as she's afraid for her life and moves to TearsOfJoy when the Straw Hats come to rescue her.
** The Dressrosa Arc ''finally'' gives her a [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/c5e03f23141f1466648f3a72321406b8/tumblr_mqcb9nQOnU1ra9khlo1_500.jpg wild take]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext because of naive gnomes showing her too much trust]].
** She gets another, [[http://oi40.tinypic.com/2wlx0t2.jpg even bigger wild take]] a bit later in the very same arc. Then again, she's still a [[BunnyEarsLawyer Straw Hat]] at heart and her crew's goofiness [[NotSoAboveItAll was bound to rub off on her sooner or later]].
** [[https://12dimension.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/one_piece_ch752_p012-e1404383390471.png?w=750 A third one]], though more low-key, happens when the dwarves tell her, Rebecca and Bartolomeo how they're going to reach the King's Plateau.
** She gets a more serious shocked expression when she and the other Straw Hats learn that [[spoiler:the Poneglyph on Zou is one of the four keys to ''finding out where Laugh Tale is'']].
** Chapter 924 gives her the biggest face fault she's ever had to that point, ''[[https://i.imgur.com/HSb8Mar.png by far]]'',
* OneWingedAngel: Somewhat, during the Wano Arc and the Battle at Onigashima, she debuts a new move called Demonio Fleur which is to shape her gigantic clone body into that of a demonic version of herself, complete with large bat wings, fangs, and horns, ironically making her fit the moniker the World Government saddled her with. Though she states she'll be more then willing to be a demoness if that's what it takes to help her crew.
* OffstageVillainy: Robin used to be an assassin/criminal who survived the destruction of every group she was a part of by ruthless treachery, which in the PowerOfFriendship fueled world of One Piece, is a big deal. Of course, while people (usually the Marines) call her a horrible monster (her nickname is Demon Child, after all) you don't ever actually see her do anything evil. Notably, whenever it looks like she has killed someone, they turn out to be alive (Igaram, Pell, Tashigi). [[UnreliableNarrator That's the World Government's story anyway.]] (That's where the name "Demon Child" comes from.) Since we never see her do anything evil and she was targeted by the World Government for being able to read Poneglyphs, there's no telling whether or not she actually ever did anything evil or if she was simply able to survive their targeting of her while her associates didn't.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Robin mostly doesn't overreact and remains stoic. When she's stunned or overreacts, it's means things are getting serious. The most notable ones are when she notices the presence of [=CP0=] in Dressrosa or when she's caught by surprise when she sees that all of Orochi Oniwabasu have sneaked up right behind her.
* OutOfFocus: Zoro, Robin, Usopp, and Franky are all completely absent during the Whole Cake Island arc due to heading for Wano instead. This mirrors Nami, Chopper, Sanji, and Brook's absence during most of the Dressrosa Arc.
* PerkyGoth: Robin tends to wear dark clothes but, after mellowing down, tends to be very upbeat, if more subtly than the rest of the crew.
* PetalPower: For some reason, pink flower petals appear whenever she uses her DF powers. This is explained from her Devil Fruit's name: Flower-Flower. The limbs sprout from the ground "like flowers". Don't think about that too closely, though.
* PirateGirl: She counts as one, having been either an outlaw, allied with pirates, or a pirate herself for most of her life, but it's {{downplayed}}. For one thing, she does ''not'' have the personality or look you would typically associate with a pirate; which, of course, is generally the rule for most of her crew too, but Robin is easily the least rowdy and pirate-like of the Straw Hats. Secondly, she's obviously a bit too mature to be called a "girl"; so, all in all, the greedy and hotheaded Nami takes up the trope better.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Regarding the obvious one her anatomic duplication powers hold, Oda has basically stated that "she can, but she won't".
* PragmaticHero: While Luffy will go on about the pride of being a pirate, Zoro will growl about a swordsman's honor, and Sanji waxes poetic on the PowerOfLove, Robin's main motivation is survival initially as for herself and later her crewmates, and in a loose, general sense, history and the preservation thereof. She's also the one most likely to get really simple solutions to puzzles that stump the crew.
* PrettyInMink: Wore a [[http://images.wikia.com/onepiece-cat/ca/images/c/c9/Robin_Alabasta_1.jpg coat trimmed]] with [[http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd300/PSandNintendFreak/robinhana.png white fur]] as Miss All-Sunday, and, at least in some art, has [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yJ6fKYFz1EE/UAvEbOtMd5I/AAAAAAAABuQ/auKL7vJsbYc/s400/one-piece-nico-robin-6.jpg a dark green fur coat]] (bonus points since that's [[BigBad Crocodile's]] coat).
* ProfessionalKiller: She was an assassin in her past, though it wasn't money that motivated her, rather the protection that comes from belonging in a group.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Robin's main color scheme is purple to reflect her mysterious nature and unclear loyalty to Luffy when she first joins the crew. While Robin proves to be trustworthy at the events of Enies Lobby the color purple underlines her infiltration ability and how her knowledge of the void language makes her someone who can upset the balance of the world, knowledge pirates including [[TheDreaded the Emperors]] want and the World Government wants to silence.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:R - Y]]
* RedemptionDemotion: While she is by no means weak, after joining the crew, "snap the opponent's spine" is no longer her immediate solution to a conflict (emphasis on "immediate").
* RedOniBlueOni: When compared to the other woman of the crew, Nami, Robins composed, sophisticated and in combat relies on brutal and precise holds to incapacitate her opponents. She's also much less talkative, but when she does speak it's something very important.
* SecretKeeper: Robin is the only Straw Hat who knows that Trafalgar Law is a secret carrier of the Will of D, and one of the very few still-living people Law has told, along with Doflamingo, Sengoku, Baby 5 and Buffalo. Though Robin admits that she doesn't know much more about it than Law does himself, she still appreciates that he trusts her enough to share this with her.
* SeekerArchetype: Robin's aim is to find out what's behind the Void Century and the Will of D, which she can do by reading the Poneglyphs she finds along the journey. Initially she believes there is one big Poneglyph with the entire history, but then she realizes every one contains some bits of information and only by reading all of them she can get the full picture. Roger knew, so this overlaps with finding the One Piece.
* SelfDuplication: Initially, Robin uses her devil fruit to spurt body parts from every surface she prefers but, over the Time-Skip, Robin has developed this ability enough to create complete duplicates of herself. This allows her to make stronger attacks and helps her when sneaking around.
* {{Sexophone}}: One of her eyecatchers during a commercial break and her {{leitmotif}} in the actual series include sultry saxophone music, written by series co-composer Kohei Tanaka.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: [[{{Downplayed}} She doesn't actively flaunt herself]], but, being usually TheStoic, she shows next to zero reservations against being seen nude or in {{Stripperific}} outfits. Her [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first appearance]] all but shows this trait when she shows no ill will towards [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] calling her beautiful with her AbsoluteCleavage on full display.[[note]]The {{manga}} even shows her arm having moved in the following frame; the {{anime}} slightly expands the implication by not only showing that her arm moved before Sanji looked at her, but also implying she's [[CovertPervert indulging Sanji for a few seconds]] before she continues speaking.[[/note]]
** In another instance, after Punk Hazard, she nonchalantly bathes Momonosuke and reacts warmly to Sanji, Brook, and Kin'émon suddenly appearing to her while she is only in a ModestyTowel.
** She's also undeterred when Leo innocently crawls on her breast on Green Bit, only reacting to the Tonta-Chief Gancho suddenly appearing in her cleavage twice, once during the raid on the Smile Factory and the other time right before the Straw Hat Grand Fleet formation, with regular befuddlement and a chuckle, respectively.
** Finally, in the Wano bathhouse, while she shows discomfort at immersing herself in water, for [[SuperDrowningSkills obvious reasons]], Robin still displays no negativity towards the group of men staring at her and Nami[[spoiler: nor to Sanji for peeping on them with his [[InvisibilityCloak Raid Suit]]]].
* ShesBack: She's held hostage by Spandam for most of the Enies Lobby arc, while in the middle of a DespairEventHorizon, but the support of her TrueCompanions helps her getting better and put up as much resistance as she can despite wearing [[KryptoniteFactor Sea Prism Stone handcuffs]], even using her own teeth to not be dragged through the Gate of Justice.
* ShesGotLegs: Robin has long and slender legs which get shown off quite a lot due to her uniforms, which usually have a very short skirt.
* SinisterShades: Invoked. Robin wears a pair of dark-shaded glasses to better play the part of a member of villainous crews like the Donquixote Pirates or the Animal Kingdom Pirates.
* SoleSurvivor: When the World Government unleashed a Buster Call on her home island of Ohara, she was the only one to escape thanks to the efforts of Saul. Unfortunately, this meant she spent most of her life as a fugitive because the World Government wants her dead.
* SquishyWizard: Robin's Devil Fruit is extremely powerful and versatile and, in combat, she can use it to break the spine of her enemies or squash them with giant limbs. However, Robin herself is physically frail and, if hit, she goes down easily. One of the weaknesses of her Devil Fruit is that the limbs she creates still count, in a sense, as her real limbs. This makes her vulnerable to her enemies' Devil Fruit powers when she restrains them, as shown when [[spoiler:Sugar transforms her into a toy]]. She also takes damage if the extra limbs are directly attacked, though this is seen less often as hitting limbs sprouted on someone else's body will hurt the victim too. To avoid this problem, after the timeskip she more often just dissipates her body clones before they get hurt.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's 6'2", taller than all of the other Straw Hats except Franky, Brook, and Jimbei, who keep in mind are themselves 7'5", 8'8", and 9'8" respectively. This is not a very impressive height in the One Piece world (see the OurGiantsAreBigger trope for a full diagnostic on height variations in the One Piece world), but would be above average if she were a real life woman.
* TheStoic: Like Zoro, she is much more reserved than most of the crew, and unlike the others, doesn't a single WildTake for a long time – this is lampshaded in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yupWdP_c8EE one of the anime's ending themes]]. Notably Robin is the only one who doesn't react when Luffy brings Brook, a ''living skeleton'', aboard the ship for the first time, and doesn't even react when said skeleton bluntly asks her to show him her panties. However, she appears to have mellowed out and blended better with the Straw Hats, as she now, occasionally makes some strange faces.
* StorybreakerPower: Whenever Robin gets into a fight, whoever the enemy is tends to get put into a compromising position regardless of how fast or strong they might be, instantly giving her the victory. For this reason, Robin rarely fights strong individuals themselves (due to her overwhelming range advantage), instead using her power mostly to control crowds of {{Mooks}}. It comes to the point that the few people that manage to counter or escape her abilities have horribly powerful Devil Fruits themselves.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Robin understands Luffy well enough to make statements that her thick-headed captain is able to readily grasp. When the Straw Hats are on Zou, shortly after the formation of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, the group are talking about recruiting various powerful individuals to join them in their plan to overthrow Kaido of the Four Emperors. The first name brought up is Marco the Phoenix, former First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, but Luffy is unable to remember who he is, despite fighting alongside him in the Summit War, until Robin says "he sort of looks like a pineapple".
* StrawNihilist: She initially expresses elements of this belief, after believing her life's work (discovering the True History) isn't going to happen she states that she "doesn't care if the world is destroyed". Though this is in the midst of her InterruptedSuicide. She also expresses some opinions on dreams and the futility of them that are rather similar to Crocodile's. Considering her past, this is {{Justified}}.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: When she infiltrates Onigashima, she wears a very revealing leather outfit, with only a bikini and a very small pair of shorts, as an Animal Kingdom pirate outfit.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The only difference between Robin and her mother is that the former doesn't have white hair.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her debut as Crocodile's right hand woman has her cold as ice, while after joining as a Straw Hat she warms up a notch, becoming basically sweet ice. Right after Enies Lobby, she goes in full blown sugar mode.
* SuperDrowningSkills: As a Devil Fruit user, she is affected by this, though the only time she's ever been in danger of this is the climax of the Enies Lobby arc, not counting the non-canon seventh [[TheMovie movie]].
* TeamMom: Oda describes her as being like this, as she's one of the oldest and arguably the most mature member of the crew. While she and Nami both are responsible, Robin fits better since is much more of a caring NiceGirl, while Nami can be selfish and greedy.
* TearsOfJoy: When Robin realizes that the Straw Hats will never abandon her and really are her TrueCompanions, to the point of declaring war on the entire world just for her sake, she can do little more than cry, having realized that Saul was right.
* TemptingFate: Her somewhat macabre sense of humor often unnerves her companions.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: After Yama destroys the ruins of Shandora with no respect or remorse and then begs for mercy, Robin says it's too late for apologies and proceeds to break his spine.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Her time with the Straw Hats has made her genuinely happy and gain a desire to live.
* TranquilFury: After joining the crew, this is the state she gets in on the rare event that ''she'' gets pissed off. This is present in one scene when, without changing facial expression, she uses her Devil Fruit powers to snap Spandam's back.
%%* TsurimeEyes
* UnwantedRescue: First, when Luffy saves her from the crumbling Royal tomb. Then in the [=CP9=] saga, when the crew goes to save her she doesn't only complain, she uses her powers violently on her comrade Usopp to make him and all the other Straw Hats understand that she wants to die. Thanks to ThePowerOfFriendship, she realizes she doesn't really want this and it becomes a HappilyFailedSuicide.
* UseYourHead: In the Water 7-Enies Lobby Arc, while handcuffed, Robin headbutts Spandam in an escape attempt.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: She's also guilty of hiding things down her AbsoluteCleavage.
* WatchingTroyBurn: As a child, she saw her hometown going up in smoke.
* WeakButSkilled: Robin is no stronger than your average athletic human woman. However, skillful use of her Devil Fruit powers enables her to take on foes much bigger and/or much more powerful than she is. After the Timeskip, her status as weak is debatable. She takes down Fish-men (who are said to be usually 10 times stronger than the average human) easily and, even better, [[spoiler:effortlessly catches and restrains the clearly super-humanly strong [[LightningBruiser Hakuba]] when he tries to blitz her]].
* WhenSheSmiles: Robin is a pretty mature and serious woman whose smiles are usually coldly charming; but [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121111041040/onepiece/images/3/32/Robin_laugh.png her rare girlish giggles are so darned cute]] you'd once again forget that she was the right-hand lady of a mass murderer.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Becomes a common theme with her outfits after the Timeskip in canon material or otherwise. Not seen before at all, however.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Though a completely rational fear, she is absolutely terrified of the World Government, the Admirals, and in particular [[TheMenInBlack Cipher Pol]]. This is a fear most pirates (and civilians) have, but the fear is such an ingrained part of her she's based her entire life around it. Preparing at a moment's notice to A) betray any/all of her companions and B) die if that isn't enough for her to escape. Due to CharacterDevelopment, [[RescueArc Enies Lobby]], and spending 2 years with [[LaResistance The Revolutionary Army,]] it seems that this is no longer the case.
* WildTake: Averted for the longest time, due to Robin being the most stoic and quiet member of the crew, she initially never shows any exaggerated facial expression. However, since the Dressrosa arc, after Robin has found her place in the Straw Hats and has begun developing her own free humor, she starts showing more shocked expressions like the rest of the crew; in the Wano Arc especially, Robin pulls off an unexpectedly ''extreme'' Wild Take exactly like Usopp and Franky.
* WingedHumanoid: She can sprout multiple arms from her back into two wings, giving her the ability to fly. [[AwesomeButImpractical For five seconds due to the strain of having to stay in the air]].
* WomenAreWiser: She possesses common sense in spades and lacks the quirks (Robin has her own quirks too, they're just fairly subtle compared to the others') and BerserkButton tendencies that Nami has. She tends to stay cool and collected in almost any situation, even when her captain has the crew haring off on some utterly ridiculous course on a whim. The major difference between her and Nami is that, while Nami tends to try to show the rest of the group how ludicrous their actions are (sometimes coming off as the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]), Robin is perfectly content to sit back, smile, and read a book while Luffy makes plans to blast the ship and crew into the sky.
* WorthLivingFor: Robin is on the verge of giving up on her life until Luffy shows her that even one who has faltered and done wrong is worthy of love, and worth dying for. Even then, she doesn't realize she has finally found her reason and her place in life until the Straw Hats ''literally'' declare war on the entire '''world''' for her.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Robin specializes in submission locks and her most common form of attack is taking down an enemy from a distance in this manner using her powers. After the TimeSkip, she even takes it up a notch and one of her moves involves making a [[DoppelgangerAttack clone]] of herself to take down the legs in a submission hold while she herself performs a diving-neck snap. [[MusclesAreMeaningless On a Fish-man twice her size]]. Who, like all Fish-men, is said to naturally be 10 times stronger than the average human. [[PrecisionFStrike Damn]].
* YouAreNotAlone: Told to her, in those exact words, by Jaguar D. Saul. For much of her life, she was alone – from her fellow islanders ridiculing her, to her being hunted for her bounty and being an enemy of the World Government. She realizes the Straw Hats love her and are her TrueCompanions when they burn the flag of the World Government, declaring war on the entire system, to make themselves outlaws on the same level as her.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Robin can't return to Ohara thanks to it being destroyed by the Buster Call.
* YouKilledMyMother: Not just her mother, but her mentor/[[ParentalSubstitute father figure]], the group of archaeologists who were her only friends, and her hometown itself. Their murders are the reason behind her hatred for the Government, specifically Spandine and Spandam.
* YourSizeMayVary: Robin's height is fairly inconsistent in the {{anime}}. She's officially listed as being 6'2" both before and after the timeskip, but she has frequently been shown to be shorter than Zoro when standing next to him while he's only 5'9". However, her height is more consistent in the manga.

->''"Live? I didn't think I could wish for that... No one ever allowed me to wish it... If it's really okay to make a little wish... I... '''I WANT TO LIVE! TAKE ME TO SEA TO WITH YOU!!!'''"''
-->--'''Chapter 398'''
AdventurerArchaeologist, [[HeelFaceTurn ex]]-[[TheDragon Dragon]], and MsExposition, Nico Robin is one of the darker and more enigmatic members of the Straw Hats. Entering the story [[TheDragon as the partner of]] BigBad Mister 0/Sir Crocodile under the alias Miss All Sunday, Robin asked to join the crew because Luffy had forced her to live, rather than die. Despite some initial mistrust, she gradually settled into the crew. Since those early uncertain days, she's become something of the crew's TeamMom, and occasionally plays the role of CoolBigSis for Nami. Her Devil Fruit, the Flower-Flower Fruit (''Hana Hana no Mi''), lets her sprout replicas of her limbs, and later her entire body, from any surface. She is twenty-eight years old (thirty post-TimeSkip).
Unfortunately, her past eventually caught up to her and it was revealed that she's been on the run from the World Government for twenty years, after [[DoomedHometown her home island of Ohara was razed]], and a large bounty was placed on her head. However, after the rest of the crew proved that they were willing to essentially declare war on the World Government in order to get her back, she realized that she had finally found her place in life, and that she was not a burden to her new friends.
Her dream is to learn the history of the Void Century, a passage of time blacked out by the World Government, which is said to be written in a lost language inscribed onto huge stone cubes called Poneglyphs.[[note]]Moreover, she believes that the "True Poneglyph" has the information she's looking for.[[/note]] Simply learning the language of the Poneglyphs is a capital crime, and is the reason that everyone on her island, including her mother, were killed by the Marines. She is now one of only a handful of people in the world who can read them, allowing her to not only discover the true history of the world, but also to potentially revive a lost superweapon.
She has a bounty of 130,000,000 berries.[[note]]Her first bounty was 79,000,000 berries, given to her at merely 8 years old and under the false pretenses of "sinking several battle ships"; in reality, she was wanted dead for surviving the government's massacre of Ohara. Her second bounty of 80,000,000 berries was given for her involvement in the Enies Lobby incident; most recently, it was raised to 130,000,000 for her involvement in taking down Doflamingo in Dressrosa.[[/note]] She currently holds one record for her bounties, being the person with the most known bounty picture updates (with 3).

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:A - C]]
* AbsoluteCleavage: Depends on the outfit, but it shows up quite a bit. Her first post-TimeSkip outfit is the most infamous example.
* AchillesHeel: Despite the versatility of her Devil Fruit, it has limits as to where she can sprout limbs: she can't create limbs on surfaces made of [[PowerNullifier Seastone]], surfaces that don't have enough room, or surfaces that can't be grabbed (which renders her powerless against Logia-eaters as she does not possess [[KiManipulation Haki]]).
* ActionGirl: Robin is completely able to keep up with the Monster Trio (Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji) in a fight; this comes full-circle when [[spoiler:she joins with Kyros and Rebecca for the fight against Diamanté, one of Doflamingo's [[TheDragon dragons]], a role only taken by the aforementioned Trio.]]
* ActuallyADoombot: Has gained the ability to make “Flower clones” with her Flower-Flower Fruit, which is useful for infiltration and espionage without running the risk of getting captured. She uses this ability to flee from the Oniwabanshu in Wano.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her eyes are light brown in the {{manga}}, ''[[Anime/OnePieceFilmStrongWorld Strong World]]'' and ''[[Anime/OnePieceFilmZ Film Z]]'', but they're blue in the TV series and [[{{Film}} movies]] 7-9.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: She's a sea-faring pirate, former assassin, and the Straw Hat's resident well for information on all things historical. Notably though, she technically [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this trope because she actually employs the methods and ideology of real archaeologists rather than the "Indiana Jones" methods; destroying ancient artifacts and sites will set her off and she spends hours quietly studying books about history.
* AffirmativeActionGirl: Considering she joined the crew right after the previous second girl (Vivi) left.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Due to her eating the Flower-Flower Fruit, the Ohara citizens treated her as an outsider with Saul and Olivia as the noteworthy exceptions. It went FromBadToWorse after she was given a bounty, as people constantly either threw her away in fear of being considered criminals, or [[BitchInSheepsClothing acted nice to her only to turn on her by selling her location to the Marines]].
* AlmightyJanitor: Robin detests fighting, preferring to leave the dirty business to the Straw Hats that enjoy it and saving her Devil Fruit power for support purposes. If she is pushed however, her foes will quickly discover she is not to be trifled with, as her Hana attacks are practically unavoidable and are aimed at ending a fight as quickly and brutally as possible.
* TheAloner: After Ohara's destruction, she spent most of her time being on the run with no friends of her own, until she met the Straw Hats.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Robin's the third tallest member of the crew (6'2"), has long flowing dark locks, is widely considered to be the most attractive member of the crew, and has an austere and sophisticated personality.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Cares more about the Straw Hat pirates than the entire rest of the world, given that they are the only ones since Ohara to care about her.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In the pre-TimeSkip anime, her skin was darker than Zoro's. Her pale skin post-TimeSkip (which she always had in the {{manga}}) threw a few people off. It's noteworthy that her skin became lighter (but not outright light) while staying in the snowy Tequila Wolf.
* AntagonistAbilities: Introduced as morally ambiguous, Robin's powers make her an efficient LongRangeFighter who can easily cripple her opponents with virtually no opportunity for resistance, with [[PowersDoTheFighting little action needed from her end]]. Now that she's a protagonist, her abilities are kept in check by either not giving her too many fights or somehow handicapping her when she has the opportunity. Unlike the rest of the crew, Robin tends to avoid fighting or using her ability at all unless she's forced to, which gives her several advantages, mainly that of ambiguity, as because she doesn't fight, no one can properly gauge her strengths or weaknesses. It's also implied that she mostly developed killing techniques during her time abroad and in Baroque Works, and there's an unwritten rule among the Straw Hats not to kill their opponents.
* TheAntichrist: The Marines believe that she's one, anyway. Her Marine-created nickname of "Demon Child" comes from a belief that her bloodline is tainted and that she has the knowledge/power to destroy the world, or at least start Armageddon. This all turns out to be a fabrication by the higher echelons of the World Government to cover up her ability to read Poneglyphs -- and thus blow the whistle on the hidden history of the world -- and ensure she has no allies to turn to.
* AntiHero: A PragmaticHero type. Robin is the only Straw Hat who is initially introduced as a true AntiVillain, whose only goal was survival, only to eventually become a Straw Hat. At first, she only stowaways on the Going Merry to escape Alabasta (and the Marines) after Luffy's defeat of Crocodile. Although Robin allies with the Straw Hats afterwards, her true loyalties continue to be ambiguous until she becomes a full-fledged member of the Straw Hat Pirates for good after being saved in Enies Lobby. While she's a good person, she still remains one of the most ruthless fighters of the crew, using brutal force when defeating enemies.
* AntiVillain: Initially joined Baroque Works if for no other reason than to survive long enough to read a Poneglyph, and has no personal interest in power, until becoming a PragmaticHero after joining the crew.
* BadassAdorable: Despite her stoic demeanor, she is really cute, and more than capable of handling herself in a fight.
* BadassBookworm: She uses her powers to break grown men's spines in half and snap their necks (which is obviously either an instant kill or bound to cause a lot of pain), and then once the adventure is over, she kicks back and studies her archaeology and history books.
* BadassCape: Downplayed. Her Animal Kingdom outfit has a cape, but she plays the part of a simple mook.
* BadassInDistress: She willingly becomes a prisoner to the World Government in the Enies Lobby arc. After the Straw Hats declare war on the World Government, she plays a leading role in her own rescue mission and helps the Straw Hats defeat [=CP9=].
* BareYourMidriff: Happens on and off through the series with her various outfits, like in the Skypiea and Fish-Man Island saga.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Typically abandons her colleagues to save herself when the Marines close in on her, knowing that they'd betray her given the chance. But when the Straw Hat Pirates don't do that upon meeting Admiral Aokiji, she gives herself up to the Marines in Water 7 in order to ensure their safety. Naturally, that doesn't roll with the Straw Hats. [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu They burn the World Government flag]] just to let her know that [[TrueCompanions they will always be there for her.]] Enies Lobby is destroyed not long after.
* BecomingTheMask: Robin originally plans to use the Straw Hats as a shield until they deem her too dangerous to protect any longer, as she had with all of the groups she joined. However, after being [[TrueCompanions accepted and loved by them as one of their own]], she chooses to [[HeroicSacrifice give up her life for the sake of her crew]] by giving herself up to [[TheGovernment the government that she has been running away from her whole life]]. Of course, [[RescueArc this doesn't stop the Straw Hats]] from trying to save her, despite her claiming she wants to die, and upon realizing that they will stick by her no matter what, she shouts that she wants to stay in their crew forever and sail the seas with them.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's generally extremely sophisticated and polite, but if you make her mad, heaven help you.
* BigSisterInstinct: She seems to gain one of these towards Rebecca.
* BloodIsSquickerInWater: A RunningGag is her casually pointing this out whenever possible.
* BluntYes: After she explains to Iceberg that the well-being of the Straw Hats is the one thing she values more than her life and the fate of the world.
-->'''Iceberg''': And as long as you have that, you don't care what happens to the rest of the world?\\
'''Robin''': I ''don't''.
* BondBreaker: Her leaving with [=CP9=] really sours things for the Straw Hats.
* BrainyBrunette: Has black hair and is an accomplished archaeologist. She's also one of the most intelligent and levelheaded members of the crew.
* BrokenBird: Due to being pegged for death by a GovernmentConspiracy – specifically, she's the only one able to prove the conspiracy exists. It isn't until the Straw Hats come to save her from Enies Lobby that she realizes that she has finally found her place.
* BuildingSwing: One of the uses for her power is connecting long chains of arms that she uses to swing from building to building. Not as fast as Luffy does it, but it's also much more graceful and controlled.
* CharacterDevelopment: Before the timeskip, she often spoke only when spoken to or if something noteworthy happened. Her calmness is likely a result of the childhood that led to her life of hardship. The calamity that befell Ohara had a profound and traumatizing effect on Robin as a child, which she has only just begun to recover from. However, as she begins to spend more time around the crew, her personality begins to ease up. When Robin is rescued by the Straw Hats from Enies Lobby, it is then that she considers herself both their friend and an official member of the crew. After the timeskip, Robin's personality is much more relaxed and playful in nature (as evidenced by her common giggling), due to her exposure to the other Straw Hats.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: In a much more subtle way than it's normally handled in fiction. Though it doesn't portray itself through the freakish physicality of Luffy, Zoro or Sanji, it's implied that Robin has some variety of SuperStrength. She's not only capable of breaking the bones of people with explicitly superhuman capabilities in a way that requires a bit more of an explanation than 'leverage and superior skill,' though that certainly plays a part. She's also incredibly agile and is capable of carrying around Franky, who is more than seven feet tall and made almost entirely of metal, while both swinging around and flying. Proven even more when she [[spoiler:stops [[SuperSpeed Hakuba]] like it was nothing.]]
* TheChessmaster: How she handled Baroque Works. It's how she ''tried'' to handle her own capture by the Marines, but the rest of the Straw Hats destroyed her plans.
* ChildProdigy: At only eight years old, she aced an archaeology exam and was officially inducted as a scholar; Robin is also able to read the Poneglyphs.
* ChristmasCake: Although she usually shows no signs of age angst, when she is de-aged to 18 in the Z Film and wants to return to normal, Usopp jokes that she should be happy that everything is in the right place. She does not take his comment well.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: As part of her OffstageVillainy, she apparently betrayed a lot of organizations; prior to the Straw Hats (and it got pretty close), every other group she's been a part of has been destroyed. Something of an InformedFlaw, though: the only one she has actually been seen betraying was Crocodile when she lied about the text on the Poneglyph. Otherwise, her flashback shows that a lot of her groups betrayed ''her'', especially by trying to hand her in to the government so that they could claim the bounty on her head.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Despite her pretty stoic and calm disposition, Robin has a very vivid immagination and can be quite eccentric.
* CodeName: During her time in Baroque Works as Mr. 0's partner, her alias is "Miss All Sunday".
* CombatPragmatist: No one should ever expect a fair fight from her. She fights to win and does ''not'' care one bit how she does it.
* TheComicallySerious: When the ''entire crew'' is [[WildTake open-mouthed and bulging their eyes at the sight in front of them]], even ''Zoro'', Robin retains her composure completely, although not even she can keep her composure when faced with the sheer naivete of the Tontatta.
* TheConsigliere: To Crocodile; she apparently ran most of the day-to-day operations of Baroque Works.
* ContraltoOfDanger: One of the deepest female voices in the series goes to the woman whose M.O. leaves her opponents crippled.
* CoolBigSis: To Nami. Over the TimeSkip, she also seems to have become one to Koala, considering she views Robin as an older sister.
* CoolShades: Part of her post-timeskip attire. Usually wears it over her head, but she was recently seen wearing it during the fight in Fish-Man Island.
* CreepyGood: Robin is one of only two members of the Straw Hats to have killed in the past (she used to be an assassin and TheDragon to Crocodile). She is the only member who still uses her powers to kill (or at least severely injure), and frequently makes morbid comments about death. Her power to grow body parts from any surface also adds to her creep factor.
* CryCute: Good grief; [[http://img.wan.renren.com/images/2012/1024/1351070027825.jpg Robin in tears]] is ''so'' adorable you'd want to hug and protect her. Seriously, it makes you completely forget she was the right-hand lady of one of the most vicious mass-murderers in the Grand Line.
* CutenessProximity: She finds Kanjuro's Rising Dragon so cute that it makes her blush ''heavily'', and look seconds away from entering CutenessOverload territory.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:D - J]]
* DamselInDistress: Twice.
** Most of Enies Lobby is a RescueArc where the Straw Hats are fighting the [=CP9=] to save Robin. However, her status as a damsel in distress is justified by the fact that she willingly let herself get captured. She felt she had to die, so she surrendered to the World Government. Plus, although she was bound with Seastone by the time she regained the will to live, she still tried her best to escape, and the only reason she failed was because Spandam kept using Funkfreed to keep her in line. She started fighting back the moment she was freed from the Seastone.
** The second time was when Bartholomew Kuma blasted her to Tequila Wolf, where she was forced to work as a slave. But in this case, she was saved by Revolutionaries more or less instantly, while apparently in the process of her own escape attempt and might not have been bound with [[KryptoniteFactor Seastone]] anyway, making her status as "distressed" questionable at best.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Miniskirt, specifically. Though this was technically only seen in her introductory "cow girl" outfit, she's still been pulling off the effect anyway with short dresses ever since.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Initially abandoned by her parents and left to her abusive aunt and uncle until she learned to be a top archaeologist at age 8, her parents (and all the other people of her land, Ohara) were then killed by the World Government for [[SheKnowsTooMuch learning too much about the "True History"]]. Although Robin was allowed to escape, she ended up on the lam, spending the rest of her childhood being betrayed by various people until she took cover in the Baroque Works crime syndicate.
* DarkMagicalGirl: While first appearing as a DarkActionGirl, an essential part of her FreudianExcuse for the more morally ambiguous things she did was the fact that she has been alone, hunted and constantly in fear of betrayal for about 20 years before the series began. The fact that the Straw Hats expressed unconditional love and friendship towards her made her into a better, less treacherous person.
* DeadpanSnarker: Emphasis on deadpan, it's hard to tell when she's being serious or yanking somebody else's chain. Her sarcasm is more noticeable as Miss All Sunday.
* DeepSouth: The 4Kids dub had her speak in a thick UsefulNotes/{{Texas}} accent, presumably because she wore a [[NiceHat cowboy hat]] in her first appearance.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Towards Spandam in the Enies Lobby arc after the Straw Hats declare war on the World Government.
* DefrostingIceQueen: While civil and polite to the Straw Hats from the beginning, it took until Enies Lobby for her to break down and finally express/realize her true feelings about the crew.
* DisappearedDad: Robin's dad seems to have perished, some time around when she was very little. We don't know the exact details or if he's really dead, just that Robin's mother claims he was.
* DissonantSerenity: She can talk about death and gruesome possible fates just as easily and calmly as she can talk about the weather.
* TheDogBitesBack: During her imprisonment at Enies Lobby, Spandam took every possible opportunity to physically beat her while she was helpless and ''laugh in her face'' while he did it. When Franky catches up to them and unlocks her handcuffs, the very first thing Robin does is use her powers to [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge beat Spandam to a bloody pulp]]. She gets another moment of this while the Straw Hats are making their escape, using her powers to forcibly bend Spandam backwards until his spine breaks clean in two.
* DoomedHometown: More like "Doomed Homeland"; her home island of Ohara was destroyed by the Buster Call to stop the archeologists from revealing the truth about the World Government.
* DoNotCallMePaul: When she works as a member of Baroque Works, she rejects the use of her birth name.
* DoppelgangerAttack: She can make full body copies of herself with her powers after the TimeSkip.
* TheDragon: She's introduced as Miss All Sunday, Crocodile's right-hand woman, and would constantly follow and assist him during the Alabasta Arc. However, she's never openly mean to the Straw Hats, which makes her request to join them, after Crocodile's capture, much easier.
* EnigmaticMinion: Although she's Crocodile's closest subordinate, her allegiance as a Baroque Works member is not fully clear. She's often close to Crocodile but never opposes the Straw Hats, when she confronts them she just warns them about the dangers of fighting her boss. While visiting Alubarna's ruins during the Alabasta arc, Robin lies to Crocodile about the Poneglyph's content and he stabs her for her betrayal. After Crocodile is defeated, Luffy gladly accepts Robin in the crew.
* EnfantTerrible: Subverted, but the World Government [[BlatantLies would like folks to believe this]], claiming she sank six ships by the time she was ''eight.''
* EvilSoundsDeep: Creator/YurikoYamaguchi deliberately gave her a lower voice to the villainous Miss All Sunday. Once Robin joined the crew, Yamaguchi plays her with a slightly higher, softer voice.
* FanServicePack: After the timeskip, her breasts have gotten larger and rounder. Unlike with Nami (where it can be somewhat justified since girls ''do'' often have a growth spurt at around 18), there's no good excuse for Robin, who was 28 -- long since grown up -- when introduced. She must have been eating very well during those two years.
* FantasticFightingStyle: During her time with the Revolutionary Army [[spoiler:Nico Robin learned the fundamentals of Fishman Karate from Koala, and some training from Sabo]].
* FlowerMotifs: Her Devil Fruit allows her to sprout extra body parts like budding flowers, and many of her techniques are named after flowers. Her voice actor stated that she is represented by the casablanca, signifying her devotion to her crew and her restoration of innocence after they saved her.
* FriendlessBackground: A variant of it. Due to her introverted nature and having obtained her disturbing LovecraftianSuperpower at a young age, she was [[KidsAreCruel ridiculed as a child by other kids]] and could only make friends with adults -- specifically, the Oharan archaeologists and Jaguar D. Saul. After they were all killed in the Buster Call, she had no close relationships with anyone for the next 20 years until she met the Straw Hats.
* FullNameBasis: Like Zoro, villains only ever call her by her full name.
* {{Gainaxing}}: In [[{{Film}} Movie]] 7, when she [[VictoriasSecretCompartment pulls a piece of paper out of her cleavage]].
* {{Geisha}}: She work as a geisha in Wano to get close to Orochi so she can obtain intel on his forces.
* GenerationXerox: She's a near carbon copy of her mother, Nico Olvia -- she's an archaeologist, she can read the Poneglyphs, they have the same voice, and they look ''exactly'' alike. The only difference is the hair; Olvia's was white, Robin's is dark.
* GenocideBackfire: The World Government was worried that the scholars of her home island, Ohara, would discover the Void Century, a point in time they didn't want anyone to know about. Therefore, they exterminated the entire island. As the SoleSurvivor, Nico Robin vowed revenge by discovering the Void Century.
* GenocideSurvivor: Nico Robin is the only survivor of her island of Ohara mainly due to the island's scholars doing a forbidden practice of researching "The Blank Century", a moment in history that the World Government is trying to keep from the world. When the World Government found out what they were doing, they ''carpet bombed'' the whole island with a Buster Call, a tactic that involves using warships to do so. After which she was hounded relentlessly by government agents when they noted she was alive (largely due to her ability to read Poneglyphs and fearing she would revive the Ancient Weapons which she clearly isn't trying to do), practically forcing her into piracy just to survive. The trauma is the main driving force behind the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs for her actions as she doesn't want that fate to befall the Straw Hats.
* GiantFootOfStomping: With the attack ''Gigantesco Mano'' (Spanish/Italian for "gigantic hand") she makes a giant pair of legs spurt from the ground and then stomps on her enemies multiple times. She can also do the same with her hands and her upper body.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Robin's [[ColorMotifs main color scheme]] is purple and many of her outfits (especially the earlier one), are purple.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: When [[CallingYourAttacks calling up her Devil Fruit powers]], she does so in three different languages, none of which are Japanese. "Fleur" is the French for flower. Before that, the number of appendages she wants to use in Spanish. After, the act she is performing in English.
* GroinAttack: Her method of "convincing" Franky to join the Straw Hats was to...squeeze the ever-loving hell out of his family jewels.
* GuileHeroine: Doesn't show often, but it's true. It's too bad on the occasions it does show, it's against pretty ''good'' {{Chessmaster}}s.
* GulliverTieDown: When she goes to Green Bit, she's captured by the dwarves and tied to the floor with Leo's Devil Fruit in an obvious ShoutOut to ''Literature/GulliversTravels''.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: Twice.
** The first was during the climax of the Alabasta Arc, when the local Poneglyph didn't have the info she wanted and Crocodile [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness turned on her]]. See InterruptedSuicide below for details.
** Later, fearing that her friends would eventually betray her and throw her away, she decides to surrender to the World Government, on the condition that they leave the other Straw Hats alone. However, when the Straw Hats raid Enies Lobby to save her, and burn down the World Government's flag, essentially ''declaring war on the entire world'', Robin realizes that her friends will never betray her, and that she really wants to live.
* HarmfulToMinors: Her childhood was not pleasant, but once the [=CP9=] came to Ohara, it ended up going downhill: She saw her mentor, one few decent people on the island who treated her kindly, shot and mortally wounded, saw her mother beaten and blooded, the entirety of the island razed, a boat full of survivors blown up out of a senseless act of "justice" and her savior frozen solid. Not even getting into having to learn to survive on her own from such a young age and people constantly turning on her thanks to the bogus story the government fabricated about her. It's a miracle she didn't grow up to be a psycho before she joined the Straw Hats.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Okay, so you can duplicate your body parts and make them sprout from anything you can see, I guess that's kind of cool, but how is that useful in a fight-OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO [[NeckSnap THEIR NECK]]?
* HeelFaceTurn: Started out as Crocodile's [[TheDragon Dragon]] before [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she outlives her usefulness]]. Granted, she's never been much of a heel anyway. She used to blatantly never give a crap about Crocodile's goals, [[TheChessmaster and is just using his organization to get what she wanted]]. Too bad for her he knows that from the start.
* HeroicBSOD: After the Ohara incident, the young Robin, at the time eight years old, is completely traumatized to have lost her homeland, the other archeologist and assisting at the death of Jagwar D. Saul.
* HeroicSacrifice: Subverted by the Straw Hats' equally heroic [[UnwantedRescue rescue mission]], [[FlashBack a heartbreaking flashback]], and subsequent heartwarming [[HesitantSacrifice "I want to live!"]] cry.
* HeroicWillpower: Though she doesn't have the insane resilience that Zoro and Luffy possess, when it comes to mental fortitude Robin has everybody beat. After having her shadow ripped out it took about 15 minutes, tops, for her to get back on her feet. To put this in perspective, the average person would be incapacitated for ''three days''. And in a {{Filler}} arc she was awake for multiple days (to prevent her memories from being stolen) and showed zero ill effects. This is justified as she has 20+ years of constant fear and paranoia; she didn't face constant violence, but the emotional strain was immense.
* HeyYou: One of Robin's initially characteristics is to address everyone in the crew by their role, such as calling Zoro "swordsman" or Nami "navigator". It's very rare for Robin to actually utter the name of someone she's talking to (or just referring to) in any dialogue; Robin's defense mechanism to protect her feelings pushes her into being as impersonal as possible to people she meets. However, once Robin is rescued by the Straw Hats and finds her place with them, she starts using their names, showing how close she's gotten to them.
* IconicOutfit: A mild example with her [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/e/e6/Robin%27s_Outfit_Digitally_Colored_Manga.png/revision/latest?cb=20181106130010 Enies Lobby Arc outfit]]. She's generally a [[TheFashionista fashionista]] like Nami, but that particular ensemble is still showing up in merchandise and video games, ''15 years later.'' Like the other Straw Hats, her first TimeSkip outfit is also iconic now, appearing as her primary look in just about all her latest merchandise and depictions despite not having worn it since the Fish-Man Island Arc (circa 2011 in real life).
* ImagineSpot: After Robin truly became a Straw Hat post Enies Lobby, one of the sources of humor on her part are the silly imagination thought bubbles about something she finds amusing or wished it happened, such as imagining Usopp and Zoro carrying her and Luffy on their backs like living rafts to cross a body of water on their way to Punk Hazard.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
** Subverted. Miss All Sunday {{troll}}ed Pell by making it look like she impaled Vivi, but in reality she just sprout an arm out of Vivi's back.
** Ironically, Crocodile stabs her InTheBack and through her chest for [[{{Pun}} backstabbing]] him.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Post-timeskip. Hell, ''pre''-timeskip. Though granted this applies to nearly ''every'' post-pubescent woman in this series that isn't a {{gonk}}.
* InterruptedSuicide: After her hopes of finding the Rio Poneglyph were crushed in Alabasta, she decided to stay inside the crumbling Royal Tomb. She is wounded, but considering her powers she could have easily escaped if she had wanted to. The UnwantedRescue comes in the form of Luffy, who tells her that she's better off living; she disagrees. He ignores her and drags her kicking and screaming out of the tomb. With time, and the PowerOfFriendship, this becomes a HappilyFailedSuicide. Indeed, her ire at being forced to live through that suicide attempt is why she joins the crew initially, her stated line of reasoning more or less being "I'm only alive because of you, so you have to take responsibility."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:K - Q]]
* KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge: Simply reading Poneglyphs is considered a crime because it allows one to read what happened during the Void Century, something which the World Government wants to avoid at any costs. For this reason, Ohara is destroyed twenty years before the beginning of the story, thus Robin lost everything and everyone from her home, and was targeted by the World Government since she was eight years old.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: If somebody loses to her, she's going to make a point of horribly maiming them and having them go out in a particularly undignified manner. Of course, the people who lose to her have almost always ''really'' asked for it. Just ask Spandam.
* KnightInSourArmor: A somewhat different take on the trope. Instead of falling from idealist to cynic, she had her cynicism from a pretty early age (being a renegade from the World Government since 8 does that to a person) and believed only in self-preservation and finding the True History. It was only after her stay with the incredibly optimistic Straw Hats that she felt that there were some people worth protecting.
* LadyOfAdventure: Is dedicated to archaeology and the hunt for the True History, one of the first reasons piracy appealed to her (other than it being her only option for survival).
* LadyOfWar: When fighting, she still remains composed and in control of herself. Her fighting style is both refined and serene, sprouting her body parts from any surface she wants to take down scores of enemies without moving an inch. {{Petal|Power}}s even appear when she uses her powers, adding to her grace in battle.
* LargeHam: It turns out that Robin is the biggest overactor of the crew. Subversion in that she only does this for musicals. Justified in that she thought it was supposed to be an opera. Normally, she is quite serious.
* LastOfHerKind: She's explicitly described as being the last living archaeologist who can read the Poneglyphs.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GhgFIeSBTk Robin Eyecatcher.]]
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark to Nami's light. She's as feminine as Nami, but tends to be more serious and wear darker clothing.
* LivingMacGuffin:
** Because of her ability to read Poneglyphs, the World Government wants Robin dead, and in Water 7 she's captured by agents of [=CP9=]. For the second part of the Water 7 & Enies Lobby arc, Robin acts as a person to be saved and is the driving force of the plot.
** In the New World, it's revealed that the only way to find the island where Roger stashed One Piece is by reading the Poneglyphs, and Robin is the only known person alive capable of doing that. In other words, everyone that wants One Piece will need her to get to it.
---> '''Boss Cat Viper:''' When the time comes and you go about reading those (Poneglyphs), all the Big Names from around the world will surely come to snatch you away!
* LonerTurnedFriend: Aside from Saul and Clover, Robin has no friends until she meets the Straw Hats while all the relationships she had in-between were professional at best. Because of her lonely past, Robin doesn't gain confidence with the crew until they declare war on the World Government and save her at Enies Lobby
* LongRangeFighter: Robin is not very resistant, but her devil fruit is powerful and versatile. This means that as long as she stays out of reach of the enemy, she's able to quickly defeat them. Otherwise they beat her before she can snap their neck.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: It's easy to forget that such a pretty woman's powers involve sprouting extra body parts, including on her opponent, which are frequently used to ''break their spines!''
* MagicPants: Begins making use of this when she gains the ability to create [[MesACrowd full-body clones]], as she also develops the ability to create outfits out of nowhere to clothe them with. Notable in that she blatantly avoided this trope up until this point (and actually still does, the full-body clones being the only application of her powers that have any clothes).
* MasterActor: After two decades of hiding her identity and changing sides to her convenience, Robin has learned to play any role she likes. For this reason, some of the Straw Hats don't trust her when she joins the crew and believe she has some further plans. This comes into play when she infiltrates inside enemies crews to gather information. In Dressrosa, she plays the part of a Donquixote Pirates recruit to lure Trebol away from Sugar, but the attempt fails right before the Tontattas could knock Sugar out. In Wano, Robin dresses up like a geisha to gather info at Orochi's mansion, managing to fool everyone into thinking she's an actual oiran and, at the raid at Onigashima, she plays the part of an Animal Kingdom pirate by laughing at a crucified Momonosuke, although she finds the last role very uncomfortable to play.
* MinoredInAssKicking: Because she doesn't actually get in that many fights, it's easy to forget that Robin is one of the most dangerous members of the crew, and is an experienced and ruthless killer. In a more meta "extremely effective person who's often content to sit back" interpretation of this trope, she's oftentimes allowed the Straw Hats to continue on their journey by doing minor things like talking to locals or picking up a map.
* MsExposition: As the resident BadassBookworm of the Straw Hats crew, she's often the one explaining the world of One Piece for [[IdiotHero Luffy's]] (and consequently the audience's) benefit.
* MsFanservice: Oh yeah. She wears somewhat fetishistic outfits and has a tendency to end up bound (if not gagged). She also [[GoGoEnslavement sports]] AbsoluteCleavage on a [[ViolationOfCommonSense frigid island in the middle of a blizzard]]. Granted, the last one wasn't really her fault or intentional.
* MsImagination: A mild example, as she is often in touch with reality, but her vivid imagination is her other main quirk, and being a NightmareFetishist. The two often overlap, such as when a person hasn't returned by the time he should, she likes to propose he has been eaten by a creepy monster or something similar. On the other end of the scale, her imagination can also be rather childish as when Luffy, due to a LostInTranslation pun, confuses the name "Dressrosa" with "an old hag in a dress", and Robin instantly imagines a funny-looking old lady dancing ballet in a fancy dress.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Her most common use of her [[TouchedByVorlons Devil Fruit power]] is sprouting arms on her opponent(s) and putting them in submission holds, allowing her to fight with multiple limbs. Her standard badass[=/=]dramatic pose in most media involves flourishing fans of arms Kali-style.
* NiceGirl: After joining the Straw Hats, she evolves into one of the nicest Straw Hats, being gentle, soft-spoken and polite, but like the rest of the crew it's a very bad idea to piss her off. Her kindness makes her fit the TeamMom position better than Nami.
* NiceHat: As Miss All-Sunday, she wears a white cowboy hat. She also wears a white hat at Dressrosa.
* NightmareFetishist: Robin is usually very serious in contrast to her whacky crewmates, but has a taste for the macabre that aligns with the Straw Hats' quirkiness. For instance, she suggests "Being of Darkness" as a name for the ''Thousand Sunny'' and calls the Cerberus on Thriller Bark "cute".
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: In times when members of the crew have befallen an uncertain fate, she usually suggests that they suffered the most gruesome demise possible, or otherwise points out macabre points of trivia.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Compared to the other Straw Hats, she is the most realistically drawn, with pupils noticeably larger than in most other female eyes.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** On Thriller Bark, Brook deeply annoys Franky and Robin. The latter stops Franky two times in a row from administering AmusingInjuries. The third time though, Robin just tells Franky that he has her permission to hit Brook now.
** During the Zou Arc, she, Franky, and Brook are the ones who remember to stake a lookout for their samurai friends, as the “mature adults.” While they are all well older than their 17-21 year old crew mates, Robin’s really the only one who could [[{{Manchild}} unreservedly]] be considered “mature.” All three of them end up falling asleep during their watch.
** She also has surprisingly cute quirks sometimes; she has a couple of cutesy ImagineSpot moments, found Kanjuro's Rising Dragon cute to the point of leaving flowers at its "grave", and if Film Z is anything to go by, she has a watering can shaped like a cartoonish zombie.
* MirrorCharacter: From Nami. They both, as young children, were ForcedToWatch their homes being threatened by horrific individuals, driven into criminal activity to survive, had to live constantly on the run, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer know full well what it's like to have your home town absolutely hate you for being alive]], and were both in completely hopeless situations until Luffy came along, and gave them a place to call home.
* NotSoStoic:
** Her time at Enies Lobby has her show her true emotions, as she's afraid for her life and moves to TearsOfJoy when the Straw Hats come to rescue her.
** The Dressrosa Arc ''finally'' gives her a [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/c5e03f23141f1466648f3a72321406b8/tumblr_mqcb9nQOnU1ra9khlo1_500.jpg wild take]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext because of naive gnomes showing her too much trust]].
** She gets another, [[http://oi40.tinypic.com/2wlx0t2.jpg even bigger wild take]] a bit later in the very same arc. Then again, she's still a [[BunnyEarsLawyer Straw Hat]] at heart and her crew's goofiness [[NotSoAboveItAll was bound to rub off on her sooner or later]].
** [[https://12dimension.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/one_piece_ch752_p012-e1404383390471.png?w=750 A third one]], though more low-key, happens when the dwarves tell her, Rebecca and Bartolomeo how they're going to reach the King's Plateau.
** She gets a more serious shocked expression when she and the other Straw Hats learn that [[spoiler:the Poneglyph on Zou is one of the four keys to ''finding out where Laugh Tale is'']].
** Chapter 924 gives her the biggest face fault she's ever had to that point, ''[[https://i.imgur.com/HSb8Mar.png by far]]'',
* OneWingedAngel: Somewhat, during the Wano Arc and the Battle at Onigashima, she debuts a new move called Demonio Fleur which is to shape her gigantic clone body into that of a demonic version of herself, complete with large bat wings, fangs, and horns, ironically making her fit the moniker the World Government saddled her with. Though she states she'll be more then willing to be a demoness if that's what it takes to help her crew.
* OffstageVillainy: Robin used to be an assassin/criminal who survived the destruction of every group she was a part of by ruthless treachery, which in the PowerOfFriendship fueled world of One Piece, is a big deal. Of course, while people (usually the Marines) call her a horrible monster (her nickname is Demon Child, after all) you don't ever actually see her do anything evil. Notably, whenever it looks like she has killed someone, they turn out to be alive (Igaram, Pell, Tashigi). [[UnreliableNarrator That's the World Government's story anyway.]] (That's where the name "Demon Child" comes from.) Since we never see her do anything evil and she was targeted by the World Government for being able to read Poneglyphs, there's no telling whether or not she actually ever did anything evil or if she was simply able to survive their targeting of her while her associates didn't.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Robin mostly doesn't overreact and remains stoic. When she's stunned or overreacts, it's means things are getting serious. The most notable ones are when she notices the presence of [=CP0=] in Dressrosa or when she's caught by surprise when she sees that all of Orochi Oniwabasu have sneaked up right behind her.
* OutOfFocus: Zoro, Robin, Usopp, and Franky are all completely absent during the Whole Cake Island arc due to heading for Wano instead. This mirrors Nami, Chopper, Sanji, and Brook's absence during most of the Dressrosa Arc.
* PerkyGoth: Robin tends to wear dark clothes but, after mellowing down, tends to be very upbeat, if more subtly than the rest of the crew.
* PetalPower: For some reason, pink flower petals appear whenever she uses her DF powers. This is explained from her Devil Fruit's name: Flower-Flower. The limbs sprout from the ground "like flowers". Don't think about that too closely, though.
* PirateGirl: She counts as one, having been either an outlaw, allied with pirates, or a pirate herself for most of her life, but it's {{downplayed}}. For one thing, she does ''not'' have the personality or look you would typically associate with a pirate; which, of course, is generally the rule for most of her crew too, but Robin is easily the least rowdy and pirate-like of the Straw Hats. Secondly, she's obviously a bit too mature to be called a "girl"; so, all in all, the greedy and hotheaded Nami takes up the trope better.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Regarding the obvious one her anatomic duplication powers hold, Oda has basically stated that "she can, but she won't".
* PragmaticHero: While Luffy will go on about the pride of being a pirate, Zoro will growl about a swordsman's honor, and Sanji waxes poetic on the PowerOfLove, Robin's main motivation is survival initially as for herself and later her crewmates, and in a loose, general sense, history and the preservation thereof. She's also the one most likely to get really simple solutions to puzzles that stump the crew.
* PrettyInMink: Wore a [[http://images.wikia.com/onepiece-cat/ca/images/c/c9/Robin_Alabasta_1.jpg coat trimmed]] with [[http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd300/PSandNintendFreak/robinhana.png white fur]] as Miss All-Sunday, and, at least in some art, has [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yJ6fKYFz1EE/UAvEbOtMd5I/AAAAAAAABuQ/auKL7vJsbYc/s400/one-piece-nico-robin-6.jpg a dark green fur coat]] (bonus points since that's [[BigBad Crocodile's]] coat).
* ProfessionalKiller: She was an assassin in her past, though it wasn't money that motivated her, rather the protection that comes from belonging in a group.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Robin's main color scheme is purple to reflect her mysterious nature and unclear loyalty to Luffy when she first joins the crew. While Robin proves to be trustworthy at the events of Enies Lobby the color purple underlines her infiltration ability and how her knowledge of the void language makes her someone who can upset the balance of the world, knowledge pirates including [[TheDreaded the Emperors]] want and the World Government wants to silence.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:R - Y]]
* RedemptionDemotion: While she is by no means weak, after joining the crew, "snap the opponent's spine" is no longer her immediate solution to a conflict (emphasis on "immediate").
* RedOniBlueOni: When compared to the other woman of the crew, Nami, Robins composed, sophisticated and in combat relies on brutal and precise holds to incapacitate her opponents. She's also much less talkative, but when she does speak it's something very important.
* SecretKeeper: Robin is the only Straw Hat who knows that Trafalgar Law is a secret carrier of the Will of D, and one of the very few still-living people Law has told, along with Doflamingo, Sengoku, Baby 5 and Buffalo. Though Robin admits that she doesn't know much more about it than Law does himself, she still appreciates that he trusts her enough to share this with her.
* SeekerArchetype: Robin's aim is to find out what's behind the Void Century and the Will of D, which she can do by reading the Poneglyphs she finds along the journey. Initially she believes there is one big Poneglyph with the entire history, but then she realizes every one contains some bits of information and only by reading all of them she can get the full picture. Roger knew, so this overlaps with finding the One Piece.
* SelfDuplication: Initially, Robin uses her devil fruit to spurt body parts from every surface she prefers but, over the Time-Skip, Robin has developed this ability enough to create complete duplicates of herself. This allows her to make stronger attacks and helps her when sneaking around.
* {{Sexophone}}: One of her eyecatchers during a commercial break and her {{leitmotif}} in the actual series include sultry saxophone music, written by series co-composer Kohei Tanaka.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: [[{{Downplayed}} She doesn't actively flaunt herself]], but, being usually TheStoic, she shows next to zero reservations against being seen nude or in {{Stripperific}} outfits. Her [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first appearance]] all but shows this trait when she shows no ill will towards [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] calling her beautiful with her AbsoluteCleavage on full display.[[note]]The {{manga}} even shows her arm having moved in the following frame; the {{anime}} slightly expands the implication by not only showing that her arm moved before Sanji looked at her, but also implying she's [[CovertPervert indulging Sanji for a few seconds]] before she continues speaking.[[/note]]
** In another instance, after Punk Hazard, she nonchalantly bathes Momonosuke and reacts warmly to Sanji, Brook, and Kin'émon suddenly appearing to her while she is only in a ModestyTowel.
** She's also undeterred when Leo innocently crawls on her breast on Green Bit, only reacting to the Tonta-Chief Gancho suddenly appearing in her cleavage twice, once during the raid on the Smile Factory and the other time right before the Straw Hat Grand Fleet formation, with regular befuddlement and a chuckle, respectively.
** Finally, in the Wano bathhouse, while she shows discomfort at immersing herself in water, for [[SuperDrowningSkills obvious reasons]], Robin still displays no negativity towards the group of men staring at her and Nami[[spoiler: nor to Sanji for peeping on them with his [[InvisibilityCloak Raid Suit]]]].
* ShesBack: She's held hostage by Spandam for most of the Enies Lobby arc, while in the middle of a DespairEventHorizon, but the support of her TrueCompanions helps her getting better and put up as much resistance as she can despite wearing [[KryptoniteFactor Sea Prism Stone handcuffs]], even using her own teeth to not be dragged through the Gate of Justice.
* ShesGotLegs: Robin has long and slender legs which get shown off quite a lot due to her uniforms, which usually have a very short skirt.
* SinisterShades: Invoked. Robin wears a pair of dark-shaded glasses to better play the part of a member of villainous crews like the Donquixote Pirates or the Animal Kingdom Pirates.
* SoleSurvivor: When the World Government unleashed a Buster Call on her home island of Ohara, she was the only one to escape thanks to the efforts of Saul. Unfortunately, this meant she spent most of her life as a fugitive because the World Government wants her dead.
* SquishyWizard: Robin's Devil Fruit is extremely powerful and versatile and, in combat, she can use it to break the spine of her enemies or squash them with giant limbs. However, Robin herself is physically frail and, if hit, she goes down easily. One of the weaknesses of her Devil Fruit is that the limbs she creates still count, in a sense, as her real limbs. This makes her vulnerable to her enemies' Devil Fruit powers when she restrains them, as shown when [[spoiler:Sugar transforms her into a toy]]. She also takes damage if the extra limbs are directly attacked, though this is seen less often as hitting limbs sprouted on someone else's body will hurt the victim too. To avoid this problem, after the timeskip she more often just dissipates her body clones before they get hurt.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's 6'2", taller than all of the other Straw Hats except Franky, Brook, and Jimbei, who keep in mind are themselves 7'5", 8'8", and 9'8" respectively. This is not a very impressive height in the One Piece world (see the OurGiantsAreBigger trope for a full diagnostic on height variations in the One Piece world), but would be above average if she were a real life woman.
* TheStoic: Like Zoro, she is much more reserved than most of the crew, and unlike the others, doesn't a single WildTake for a long time – this is lampshaded in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yupWdP_c8EE one of the anime's ending themes]]. Notably Robin is the only one who doesn't react when Luffy brings Brook, a ''living skeleton'', aboard the ship for the first time, and doesn't even react when said skeleton bluntly asks her to show him her panties. However, she appears to have mellowed out and blended better with the Straw Hats, as she now, occasionally makes some strange faces.
* StorybreakerPower: Whenever Robin gets into a fight, whoever the enemy is tends to get put into a compromising position regardless of how fast or strong they might be, instantly giving her the victory. For this reason, Robin rarely fights strong individuals themselves (due to her overwhelming range advantage), instead using her power mostly to control crowds of {{Mooks}}. It comes to the point that the few people that manage to counter or escape her abilities have horribly powerful Devil Fruits themselves.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Robin understands Luffy well enough to make statements that her thick-headed captain is able to readily grasp. When the Straw Hats are on Zou, shortly after the formation of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, the group are talking about recruiting various powerful individuals to join them in their plan to overthrow Kaido of the Four Emperors. The first name brought up is Marco the Phoenix, former First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, but Luffy is unable to remember who he is, despite fighting alongside him in the Summit War, until Robin says "he sort of looks like a pineapple".
* StrawNihilist: She initially expresses elements of this belief, after believing her life's work (discovering the True History) isn't going to happen she states that she "doesn't care if the world is destroyed". Though this is in the midst of her InterruptedSuicide. She also expresses some opinions on dreams and the futility of them that are rather similar to Crocodile's. Considering her past, this is {{Justified}}.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: When she infiltrates Onigashima, she wears a very revealing leather outfit, with only a bikini and a very small pair of shorts, as an Animal Kingdom pirate outfit.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The only difference between Robin and her mother is that the former doesn't have white hair.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her debut as Crocodile's right hand woman has her cold as ice, while after joining as a Straw Hat she warms up a notch, becoming basically sweet ice. Right after Enies Lobby, she goes in full blown sugar mode.
* SuperDrowningSkills: As a Devil Fruit user, she is affected by this, though the only time she's ever been in danger of this is the climax of the Enies Lobby arc, not counting the non-canon seventh [[TheMovie movie]].
* TeamMom: Oda describes her as being like this, as she's one of the oldest and arguably the most mature member of the crew. While she and Nami both are responsible, Robin fits better since is much more of a caring NiceGirl, while Nami can be selfish and greedy.
* TearsOfJoy: When Robin realizes that the Straw Hats will never abandon her and really are her TrueCompanions, to the point of declaring war on the entire world just for her sake, she can do little more than cry, having realized that Saul was right.
* TemptingFate: Her somewhat macabre sense of humor often unnerves her companions.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: After Yama destroys the ruins of Shandora with no respect or remorse and then begs for mercy, Robin says it's too late for apologies and proceeds to break his spine.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Her time with the Straw Hats has made her genuinely happy and gain a desire to live.
* TranquilFury: After joining the crew, this is the state she gets in on the rare event that ''she'' gets pissed off. This is present in one scene when, without changing facial expression, she uses her Devil Fruit powers to snap Spandam's back.
%%* TsurimeEyes
* UnwantedRescue: First, when Luffy saves her from the crumbling Royal tomb. Then in the [=CP9=] saga, when the crew goes to save her she doesn't only complain, she uses her powers violently on her comrade Usopp to make him and all the other Straw Hats understand that she wants to die. Thanks to ThePowerOfFriendship, she realizes she doesn't really want this and it becomes a HappilyFailedSuicide.
* UseYourHead: In the Water 7-Enies Lobby Arc, while handcuffed, Robin headbutts Spandam in an escape attempt.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: She's also guilty of hiding things down her AbsoluteCleavage.
* WatchingTroyBurn: As a child, she saw her hometown going up in smoke.
* WeakButSkilled: Robin is no stronger than your average athletic human woman. However, skillful use of her Devil Fruit powers enables her to take on foes much bigger and/or much more powerful than she is. After the Timeskip, her status as weak is debatable. She takes down Fish-men (who are said to be usually 10 times stronger than the average human) easily and, even better, [[spoiler:effortlessly catches and restrains the clearly super-humanly strong [[LightningBruiser Hakuba]] when he tries to blitz her]].
* WhenSheSmiles: Robin is a pretty mature and serious woman whose smiles are usually coldly charming; but [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121111041040/onepiece/images/3/32/Robin_laugh.png her rare girlish giggles are so darned cute]] you'd once again forget that she was the right-hand lady of a mass murderer.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Becomes a common theme with her outfits after the Timeskip in canon material or otherwise. Not seen before at all, however.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Though a completely rational fear, she is absolutely terrified of the World Government, the Admirals, and in particular [[TheMenInBlack Cipher Pol]]. This is a fear most pirates (and civilians) have, but the fear is such an ingrained part of her she's based her entire life around it. Preparing at a moment's notice to A) betray any/all of her companions and B) die if that isn't enough for her to escape. Due to CharacterDevelopment, [[RescueArc Enies Lobby]], and spending 2 years with [[LaResistance The Revolutionary Army,]] it seems that this is no longer the case.
* WildTake: Averted for the longest time, due to Robin being the most stoic and quiet member of the crew, she initially never shows any exaggerated facial expression. However, since the Dressrosa arc, after Robin has found her place in the Straw Hats and has begun developing her own free humor, she starts showing more shocked expressions like the rest of the crew; in the Wano Arc especially, Robin pulls off an unexpectedly ''extreme'' Wild Take exactly like Usopp and Franky.
* WingedHumanoid: She can sprout multiple arms from her back into two wings, giving her the ability to fly. [[AwesomeButImpractical For five seconds due to the strain of having to stay in the air]].
* WomenAreWiser: She possesses common sense in spades and lacks the quirks (Robin has her own quirks too, they're just fairly subtle compared to the others') and BerserkButton tendencies that Nami has. She tends to stay cool and collected in almost any situation, even when her captain has the crew haring off on some utterly ridiculous course on a whim. The major difference between her and Nami is that, while Nami tends to try to show the rest of the group how ludicrous their actions are (sometimes coming off as the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]), Robin is perfectly content to sit back, smile, and read a book while Luffy makes plans to blast the ship and crew into the sky.
* WorthLivingFor: Robin is on the verge of giving up on her life until Luffy shows her that even one who has faltered and done wrong is worthy of love, and worth dying for. Even then, she doesn't realize she has finally found her reason and her place in life until the Straw Hats ''literally'' declare war on the entire '''world''' for her.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Robin specializes in submission locks and her most common form of attack is taking down an enemy from a distance in this manner using her powers. After the TimeSkip, she even takes it up a notch and one of her moves involves making a [[DoppelgangerAttack clone]] of herself to take down the legs in a submission hold while she herself performs a diving-neck snap. [[MusclesAreMeaningless On a Fish-man twice her size]]. Who, like all Fish-men, is said to naturally be 10 times stronger than the average human. [[PrecisionFStrike Damn]].
* YouAreNotAlone: Told to her, in those exact words, by Jaguar D. Saul. For much of her life, she was alone – from her fellow islanders ridiculing her, to her being hunted for her bounty and being an enemy of the World Government. She realizes the Straw Hats love her and are her TrueCompanions when they burn the flag of the World Government, declaring war on the entire system, to make themselves outlaws on the same level as her.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Robin can't return to Ohara thanks to it being destroyed by the Buster Call.
* YouKilledMyMother: Not just her mother, but her mentor/[[ParentalSubstitute father figure]], the group of archaeologists who were her only friends, and her hometown itself. Their murders are the reason behind her hatred for the Government, specifically Spandine and Spandam.
* YourSizeMayVary: Robin's height is fairly inconsistent in the {{anime}}. She's officially listed as being 6'2" both before and after the timeskip, but she has frequently been shown to be shorter than Zoro when standing next to him while he's only 5'9". However, her height is more consistent in the manga.
