Hailing from an archaeological family, Nico Robin is the daughter of Nico Olvia. Also known as ‘Devil Child’ and ‘Light of the Revolution’, Robin serves as the archaeologist for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Robin ate the Hana Hana no Mi at an early age, which gave her the ability to duplicate her body parts on any surface at desire. As the solitary survivor of the destroyed West Blue island Ohara, she is one of only two people in the world who can read and understand Poneglyphs, a skill considered unlawful and dangerous by the World Government.

Her desire is to discover the Rio Poneglyph, which contains the true history of the Earth, specifically the Void Century. Robin spent most of her life on the run, allying with numerous shady organizations before finally finding a home and family with the Straw Hat Pirates. In the Alabasta arc, she is introduced as an antagonist working under Crocodile in Baroque works, but she later joins the Straw Hat Pirates.

Her most special ability comes from the devil fruit Hana Hana no Mi, allowing her to sprout extra limbs or parts of her body from any surface.

Robin is normally calm, knowledgeable, and composed, serving as the Straw Hat Pirates’ voice of reason. She has a dark sense of humor and can be quite private about her background and emotions. Robin is extremely brilliant and well-read, especially in archaeology and history. Her extensive knowledge of the world and its ancient secrets make her an invaluable member of the Straw Hat Pirates. She frequently delivers vital information and ideas that help the crew on their voyage. Despite her quiet demeanor, Robin is very compassionate and protective of her loved ones. She highly values her crewmates and is genuinely concerned about their well-being. Her devotion for the Straw Hats grows as she opens up to them over time.
