it's all about me.
LIKES. She really likes music and playing instruments. (guitar, piano, and harp) kind, honest people. Just being included (she's petty that way). Quoting random books and songs.
DISLIKES. Shallow and evil people. being insulted, anyone thinking badly of her, failing classes, not having friends to be with.
STRENGTHS. She's a very determined person, she's friendly and almost never thinks badly of people, wants to be a good person very badly, really good at playing her instruments. I
WEAKNESSES. when she does think badly of someone it's hard to change her mind, thinks to much into things sometimes and panics, puts to much importance of what people think of her, tends to put other people above herself. She's also pretty shy. She gets sick very easily.
HABITS/QUIRKS. Can't play any music unless her hair is down, has to listen to music occasionally or she starts getting freaked out, is bipolar-ly quiet and then really loud.
FEARS. That someone will hate her, mess up really badly at some huge music recital, that she won't get into a good college.
SECRETS. that she used to cut herself (doesn't anymore) and that she used to be taken advantage of a lot by her friends. She doesn't really have a gift.
FULL PERSONALITY.
Robin is the kind of person that likes to have a lot of friends and to be surrounded by good people. She's very optimistic and takes people at face value, though that makes her seem a bit naive. She likes to think of people as good people and likes to make them happy, mainly by playing music. A large part of her life is focused on playing instruments, mainly the harp, but she also likes to sing and was in ballet until she turned 15. Even then the only reason she quit was because she was sent to Castle and had to. She's also very romantic and a really big pushover. Robin really puts other people first and doubts herself a lot. But she also fancies herself as a fearless person so she tries to be like that.
She read tons of books when she was younger so she has a bit of a hero-complex. She's the person that stands up to bullies to protect the nerd and ends up getting beaten up. That's why she started taking karate and since she worked hard at it she got to be really good. She's good at protecting pretty much everything but herself. She's also a bit of a tree-hugger, but not the crazy kind.

FULL HISTORY.
Robin used to be very sick when she was little. Since her immune system was really weak she had to spend a lot of time at the hospital. Her parents hadn't exactly bought the right kind of insurance, and since the insurance company blamed her sickness on malnutrition they refused to pay the hospital bills. Both of her parents got jobs and all of their money went to that and her ballet lessons. She really liked ballet and her parents wanted her to be happy so they spent a lot of money on her. It didn't take her to long to figure out how much of a burden she was so she stopped telling people when she was sick and made a lot of effort to get better.
When she turned fifteen she quit ballet because that just made her sicker and then applied to go to Castle on her own. Because Castle gave full-ride scholarships to students who have gifts she faked having a gift and got in. As a side note, Robin is very smart (she always knew she'd have to get scholarships or she wouldn't go to college) and she faked her gift using science. (see The Illusionist. it's like that)
Her parents thought that she wasn't sick anymore and believed that she had a gift too so they let her go. Castle requires students to take classes to develop their gifts, but she's very good at pretending. So far no one has found her out.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE.
"Alright Mrs. Quinn. Please demonstrate your gift." The headmaster says pleasantly, her scary green eyes boring holes in Robin. The girl fidgets uncomfortably.
"Okay." She pulls a tiny pot filled with soil out of her large purse, something she barely ever carries. She had borrowed this one from a friend. "One moment." She stares at the empty pot for a few seconds, and then lightly touches it like she's transferring some kind of power to it. The spot she touched was actually a heat censor that triggers a reaction inside the pot that causes a small tree to grow. When the tree is finished she smiles and plucks off the single orange. "Would you like it?" She asks. The headmaster nods mutely.
"One more. Take this apple." She places it on a shelf four feet away. "You said your gift was a bit... undefinable. Please do something to 'attack' the apple." Robin smiles, having anticipated this.
"Okay." She stands up, taps her right wrist, and then holds up her right arm with her palm facing the apple. The rectangle of clear glass that she'd forced half-way into her bracelet rapidly expands towards the apple, slicing it in half. She quickly taps her wrist twice, causing the glass to stop growing and then shrink back to normal size. Because it's clear class it's impossible to see, even if the person had been standing a few inches away. "Is that fine?"
