| Birth Mother, Age 64, Human
Born in Oregon, USA, on Earth, Melissa Hopper was drawn to space at a young age. She had an aptitude for languages, communication, and politics, and brought those strengths with her to the Federation Diplomatic Corps, in which she served for several years as a staffer before becoming an Envoy. Her placement was at the Federation Embassy on Alpha Centauri IV, also known as Velestus by the Centaurans. It was there that she met her future wife, Ansyra, who worked on interplanetary projects as a terraforming expert. Several years later, the two married and decided to seek out a quieter life - eventually settling on Theta VII, an old frontier mining and agricultural world, where they oversaw the operations of a large high-tech hydroponic farm estate. There, with some help from 24th century medicine, they also had their two children. Melissa carried Robin and Ansyra carried Kerilyn. The two have always joked about that fact that each sister seemed to take more after their non-birth mothers. |

Family Members
| Mother, Age 90, Centauran
Originally from Velestus (Alpha Centauri IV), Ansyra spent much of her younger days as a professional artist before discovering terraforming later in life, springing from her long-term hobby: gardening. Her work centered around consulting on balancing aesthetic and biological considerations in world-planning initiatives. This work eventually led her to the Federation Embassy, where she joined an interplanetary team of consultants based out of Velestus - a world known for its skilled terraformers. Eventually, she met Melissa Hopper, who worked as an Diplomatic Corps Envoy at the Embassy. The two would eventually marry and settle down together, choosing to move to the less-intense setting of Theta VII to start their family. Ansyra's private Centauran name is Kalitikne. |
| Sister, Age 22, Human/Centauran Hybrid
When Robin was six years old, her mothers decided they wanted to have a second child. At first outraged by their decision, Robin came around to it eventually - around the time Keri turned three. At that point, Robin decided she was cute enough to be accepted into the family. The two would feud again later, when Robin was in her teenage years, which Keri once described as "exceptionally stupid and awkward". Since then, the two have worked things out (mostly), with Robin attributing much of their improved relationship to the long time she's spent away from home while studying, citing the old adage that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder.' Keri is currently studying Politics and History at university on Tellar Prime. Keri's private Centauran name is Zoirana. |
| Grandmother, Age 149, Centauran
Growing up, Robin always idolized her grandmother as a personal hero. While she didn't fully comprehend Phoenyra's work as a child, she did understand that her grandmother was some sort of scientist and was involved in biological studies and, subsequently, holographic technology development. Phoenyra lives on Velestus, where she is still affiliated with ongoing research into biological integrations with holographic environments at the Keox Conservatory[1] - an institution named in honour of her accomplishments within the field. Phoenyra was part of the Centauran-led team that developed the modern Federation Holodeck in the mid-24th century, following up and improving on decades of work into the earlier "Rec Room" technologies, in order to recreate more immersive and lifelike simulated environments. |
Closest Relationships
| Dating & Close Friends, Amity Outpost
Robin and Nathan have a serious connection. While at first attracted to one-another, they quickly realized that their current relationship goals were incompatible. Following a failed first date, they agreed to cool things down and remain friends. Some time has now passed and Robin has found Nathan to be a genuine, honest, and reliable friend. Nathan also came to Robin's aid after she accidentally drank beer (which she has an intolerance to) on New Years Eve, 2400. The two are on very good terms and often tease each other in good humour. Since sharing in a near-death experience while trapped in the Mirror Universe, Robin and Nathan have decided to explore their mutual romantic interest in each other more openly, though they are still trying to keep their "situationship" on the down-low.
|
| Close Friends, Starfleet Academy & Amity Outpost
Robin and Ikaia also attended the Academy at the same time and met through their mutual friend (Alieth). Since reconnecting on Amity, they've picked right back up where they left off and have been enjoying working and socializing together once again.
|
| Close Friends, Starfleet Academy
Robin met Alieth while attending Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. While Alieth majored in Medicine and Robin in Physics, the two had numerous overlapping science-based classes. Their personalities, while outwardly quite different, complimented each other and the two have remained in contact post-graduation.

Good Friends
| Commanding Officer & Friend, Amity Outpost
While they may have met under unusual circumstances, the two have hit it off straight away and Robin looks forward to getting to know her CO better! After attending dinner at the Vataix residence, Robin was convinced to find an apartment in the Beijing District - a fortuitous turn of events. Not long after, both Rivi and Robin were the only two unaffected by a malicious alteration to the timeline and, from an alternate reality, were able to restore the timeline to its prior state.
|
| Superior Officer & Friend, Amity Outpost
The two met and served together during a tense mission to Idrustix. A bit confused about the fact that there were two Wil Ukinix's aboard when she came to Amity, Robin nonetheless has found the man to be a solid and personable leader. She looks forward to getting to know him better and see what she can learn from him.
|
| Colleague & Friend, Amity Outpost
During a tense first mission (for Robin, her first aboard Amity) on Idrustix, Robin and S'Raga got to know one another and quickly developed a rapport. When S'Raga was injured, Robin came to his aid - stabilizing him until he was able to receive more attention post-mission. Later, S'Raga would help Robin find her apartment. Hopper thinks S'Raga is a sweet, lovely, and interesting person who she wants to continue spending her time with.

| Colleague & Friend, Amity Outpost
John is Robin's Counselor and the two of them hit it off during their first session (which Robin describes as more of a friendly 'chat'). While she doesn't know him well yet, they've discussed the possibility of meeting up for a workout and Robin intends to invite him to her eventual housewarming party.
|
| Colleague & Friend, Amity Outpost
While the two haven't spent much time working together yet, Robin instantly liked Bec's open and in-your-face personality. Spending some time together in Peace Park, Robin was reminded of her sister, Keri - which she swear she means in the most complimentary way possible! She looks forward to getting to know the young Security Officer better.

| Colleague & Friend, Amity Outpost
While Robin doesn't know the mysterious Magna Roman well yet, she wants to - as she's convinced he must be the most interesting person on Amity Outpost. Iovianus also oversaw a firearms/weapon training session that Robin requested.
|
| Colleague & Friend, Amity Outpost
While the two haven't spent much time working together yet, Robin is very grateful for Scotty's assistance installing holo-emitters in her apartment (a special request) and appreciates his focused work ethic. She looks forward to getting to know him, and his partner, Evelyn, better as time goes on.
