Nico Robin

Nico Robin (ニコ・ロビン) is the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates and their seventh member. She was originally introduced as the Vice President of Baroque Works known as Miss All Sunday. She worked with Crocodile as his right hand but betrays him once she discovers his true intentions are to find an ancient weapon and create a military empire. Losing her will to live, she resigns herself to die but is rescued by Luffy. She sneaks on board Going Merry and joins their crew, claiming Luffy has the responsibility to give her a reason to live since he saved her.

Robin was born on Ohara and lived an isolated and abusive childhood while learning to read poneglyphs to follow in her mother's footsteps and reveal the True History of the world. To safeguard their secret past, the World Government branded Robin's mother a criminal and destroyed her home using a Buster Call. With Jaguar's help, Robin escapes the destruction of her home and remained on the run from the World Government for twenty years until she joined Crocodile.

When the crew stops to repair Going Merry, she leaves the Straw Hats to work with CP9. In order to protect her comrades and prevent another Buster Call, she is forced to cooperate with the World Government. Overcoming her fears of being abandoned by the Straw Hats, she gains a new self-worth and is eventually rescued by her comrades and rejoins the crew.

Personality
Levelheaded, perceptive and observant, Robin tends to keep to herself compared to her crew mates. When she does speak it may be to lend insightful or rather macabre commentary depending on the situation at hand. Much of the time she’ll privately entertain childish scenarios while maintaining a serene expression on her face. She feels no qualms in resorting to violence to achieve her goals and may habitually spy on others using her powers. As she values the knowledge that can be gleaned from the past, nothing angers her more than the destruction of priceless artifacts.

Due to the frequent betrayals she suffered during her time as a fugitive, Robin was initially distant with her fellow Straw Hats. As she grew closer to her comrades, she became anxious her presence would only endanger them; her encounter with CP9 only furthers to serve as confirmation of her fears. She despairs of ever regaining their acceptance. Once the Straw Hats declare she is always their comrade, she regains her will to live and is forever grateful to be a Straw Hat.

Fighting Style
Nico Robin ate a Devil Fruit called the Flower-Flower Fruit, which is a Paramecia-type fruit that gives her the ability to sprout and grow any of her body parts out of any surface (except for Seastone). She most commonly uses this for her limbs to extend her reach and for combat purposes, but the fruit can also be used for reconnaissance and espionage by sprouting multiple ears and eyeballs in various locations. The fruit allows Robin to create body parts bigger than their actual sizes, and she can even create clones of herself. Robin is considered to be one of the stronger members of the crew. She is agile and well-suited to taking on large numbers of foes due to her Devil Fruit's ability. There are no known limits to the distance she can place her body parts or the number she can duplicate. She will, however, share the pain these cloned limbs feel should they suffer any damage. She generally will multiply her arms on either herself or others to grapple and restrain her opponents in a fight. Other than restraint, Robin's fighting style revolves sprouting multiple numbers of her limbs and using them to smack enemies around.
