21The series begins as Shang, one of the guardians of Myst, storms a temple of cultists. After he is attacked by and kills a couple, he discovers a baby on an altar. He takes the child and confers with the Council of the Five Realms, who unanimously agree that the baby must be killed, lest she turn out the same as the Jabberwocky. Shang cannot bring himself to do this, believing that the child has the potential to live a better life and takes her to Earth where she is left on the doorstep of a family that will come to raise her. That family names her Robyn Locksley.
22
23Sadly, the family is not without its own problems. Robyn's adoptive father is a deadbeat drug dealer who abuses both her and her adoptive mother, including forcing a very young Robyn to do drug deals for him. Robyn's mother is also gravely ill, and Robyn eventually turns to petty theft in order to pay for her mother's medication. After her mother loses her job, she and Robyn are unceremoniously kicked out of the house by her father. A few years after this, Robyn comes home one day only to discover that her mother has succumbed to her illness. She is put into foster care and bounces around the system until she ends up in a normal high school. By this point in her life, Robyn has made a point of standing up to those that use power to intimidate or the corrupt and in so doing makes herself an enemy to Cal King, a sociopathic spoiled brat whose father runs the town. Robyn steals his car in attempt to teach him a lesson, but Cal and his friends chase her down, forcing her to crash her car, and then proceed to brutally beat and gang-rape her before Cal cuts her left eye out. Meanwhile, a group of people in Myst desire a protector, and eventually using magic they reach out to her and pull her into Myst.
24
25In Myst, Robyn is greeted by a mysterious woman who tells her that she will become what the people of the land require, but the woman is murdered before she is able to elaborate. She journeys through the kingdom of King John and discovers a wide range of poverty and despair. She begins to live off the land and after some time is confronted by Little John. She also soon meets his companions who become her group of Merry Men. They train for a while before deciding on a campaign of revenge, retribution and revolution against the evil King. She is captured after taking part in a contest but escapes and manages to kill the King, thus freeing the people from his tyrannical rule. She talks with a woman named Marian who directs her to a portal back to Earth.
26
27Robyn returns to find the man that raped her, first killing his two best friends and then seemingly killing his father before confronting him. He shocks her by revealing that [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he had forgotten who she was and that him raping her was not even worth remembering.]] She drags him outside and kills him as well. When leaving she confronts two police officers and attacks them, but realizes although they were complicit in her rape that they are not exactly guilty either. Instead she gets them to call the sheriff in for backup who was partially responsible for a lack of justice in her case. She kills him and then leaves, though it is revealed that the father did not die. She travels to New York City and steals from a bank on Wall Street and throws the money in the air before leaving to discover herself after she realizes that her campaign of revenge has not left her satisfied.
28
29On the run as an outlaw, Robyn eventually has an encounter with Britney (a.k.a. 'Red Riding Hood'), who attempts to bring her in. Their encounter ultimately ends in a stalemate with Britney agreeing to stop hunting her, but the truce will be void if Robyn kills another human. Robyn tells Britney that she knows that what she has done to get into this situation was not necessarily right, but she doesn't regret her actions, no matter how they haunt her.
30
31With her record cleared following service with the organisation known as the Realm Knights, Robyn sets up shop as private investigator in New York City in partnership with Marian. The two of them handle cases no one else take; usually ones with a supernatural bent.
32
33The comic appears to take place in the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, as the [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:ph%27nglui_mglw%27nafh_Cthulhu_R%27lyeh_wgah%27nagl_fhtagn Cthulu chant]] is used by several characters to perform magic - confirmed as of 2023, with the Great Old Ones themselves showing up as villains in the main ''Grimm'' universe.
34
35The 2023 Canadian series ''Series/RobynHood2023'' starring Creator/JessyeRomeo is unrelated to this character.

55* CowboyCop: Robyn comes out of the ongoing series as somewhat friendly with Julia Gengrich, a captain in the NYPD, and occasionally consults on supernatural cases.

68* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:Guy of Gisbourne used to be a sweet kid who loved his horse, but his mother was obsessed with honor and forcing him into becoming a knight.

69* FriendOrFoe: In ''I Love NY'' #3, Robyn and Agent Red are both sneaking into the same club. Not knowing who is coming, Red detonates a flashbang. Blinded and deafened, Robyn then attacks the person who threw the flashbang, not knowing it is Red.

71* GenuineHumanHide: In ''The Curse'', the BigBad uses a form of blood magic that allows his underlings to bypass biometric security measures by wearing the skin of the person the system is tuned to. They have to wear the entire skin or the magic won't work.

75* HighDiveEscape: In ''I Love NY'' # 11, a wounded Robyn escapes from Alina Rose by [[SuperWindowJump jumping through the closed window]] of a warehouse into the river.
76* HijackedDestiny: [[spoiler: Robyn has her status as the prophesied "Child of Darkness" stolen by another archer, thanks to a ritual and a drop of our heroine's blood. Normally, this would be a relieve for Robyn, since then she would avoid getting constantly harassed by members of the Dark Horde that want her to turn to evil, and bring their organization to a complete dominion of the Five Realms. That, and get rid of all the guilt that knowledge brings to her. The problem is, the woman that has done this is definitely evil, is totally on board with making said prophecy true, and has a personal vendetta against Robyn. Planning to harm many of her loved ones along the way. She manages to beat the pretender by the end of the story, but is left unclear if the ritual has been undone.]]

81* ImpaledPalm: in ''I Love NY'' #11, Robyn stabs Fuchs through the palm with a piece of splintered wood. This doesn't even slow Fuchs down, as he pulls a LodgedBladeRecycling by pulling the shard out of his hand and slashing Robyn with it.

94* MakingTheChoiceForYou: [[spoiler:Avella does this for Robyn, killing a deranged Guy of Gisbourne, who had been pleading with Robyn to kill him and make his life/death worth something. She didn't do it for Robyn's sake, though, but as revenge for Guy's torturing her in the past.]]

115* PsychoSidekick: For a time there's Cindy[[note]]Cinderella[[/note]], who is basically ComicBook/HarleyQuinn but without the obsessive love for the Joker. [[spoiler:She is eventually burnt to death after [[ItMakesSenseInContext a collection of magic-users realize she's going to kill Robyn and one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse at the same time, manipulate things so only Cindy is caught in the magical backlash]].]]
116* RapeAndRevenge: Robyn extracts vengeance on Cal King and all those she holds responsible for her rape when she first returns from Myst.

118* ScopeSnipe: Robyn does this to a police sniper in ''Outlaw'' #1: non-fatally putting an arrow into his scope to spoil his shot, ruin his gun, and serve as a very effective warning.

122** In ''Blood in the Water'', Robyn's cousin Theresa is introduced - she's very clearly an {{expy}} of [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Daphne - and she's joined by Fred]],[[WesternAnimation/Velma Velma and Norville]]. To make it even more blatant, at one point Makwa (Jeb's dog) even says "Ruh-roh, Jebby!", and Jeb suddenly seems to have been possessed by Shaggy's spirit[[note]]something he remarks on as being odd at the end of the issue[[/note]] as he [[BigEater becomes obsessed with food for the rest of the issue]]. From then on it's basically a shout-out bonanza, complete with "We should split up to cover more ground", "Looks like we've got ourselves a mystery", and the "lake monster" [[spoiler:actually being a submarine piloted by Norville and Velma, who were attempting to get revenge on the popular kids who flaunted their wealth while Velma was stuck cleaning up after them. Norville is killed in the takedown, and while Velma (of all people) says she would have gotten away with it too "if it weren't for you meddling kids!", she shortly thereafter meets her end when she's crushed by some falling debris.]] It's hinted that the whole thing was actually a peyote dream of Jeb's, but the last few pages show [[spoiler:Jeb and Robyn joining up with the main universe versions of Mystery Inc, with Makwa howling "Scooby Dooby Dooooooo!" in the last panel.]]
123* SinisterShiv: In ''The Hunt'', Red Death attempts to stab Robyn in the showers with a shiv made from a sharpened toothbrush. Robyn takes it off her and uses it to stab one of her other attackers.
124* SplittingTheArrow: Robyn does this in ''Robyn Hood'' #7 while she is practicing so she does not become overly reliant on her magical bow Scarlet.
125* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Robyn has no problems in using a bow (albeit a modern compound bow) against modern criminals armed with automatic weapons. She's just that good. (Of course, it helps that there is a mystical component to her skill.) However, many of her foes use magic, which tends to level the playing field somewhat.
126* SuperHumanTrafficking: In ''I Love NY'', Natalya runs a slavery ring that captures Eastern European Highborns and smuggles them into the US where they are sold as sex slaves.
127* SuperWindowJump: In ''I Love NY'' #11, Robyn jumps through a closed window as part of her HighDiveEscape to get away from Alina Rose. Robyn is already pretty badly wounded at this point, so it is hard to tell if jumping through the glass cut her up any worse.
128* TakenForGranite: In ''ComicBook/GrimmFairyTales Photoshoot Special 2016'', Robyn fights fights a villainess called Madame Medusa, who uses a gorgon's eye to petrify actresses and models and turn them into [[WaxMuseumMorgue exhibits for her private gallery]]. She tries to do this to Robyn.

142* WireDilemma: In ''ComicBook/GrimmFairyTales: Genesis'', Robyn has to defuse a bomb in Times Square in New York on New Year's Eve. She snarkily comments on how movies never get it right right, and how it is never just one wire, as she rips out all of the wires on the bomb.
143* WouldHarmAChild: Cal King, a.k.a. the Sheriff of Nottingham, murders the child son of Prince John to take power for himself.
144* WouldHitAGirl: Well, for Cal it's "would brutally beat, gang-rape and cut out a girl's eye for no other reason than he wanted to". In another scene he's seen beating and torturing a prostitute before his father interrupts him and rescues her (not out of any sense of kindness, but because she was seen entering their house and if she disappeared afterwards there would be trouble for the family).
