Robin DeSanto

Robin DeSanto is a character in both the It's Walky! and Shortpacked! portions of the Walkyverse and in Dumbing of Age.  In both continuities she is the older sister of both Roz and Riley DeSanto.

Walkyverse

A hyperactive, sugar-fueled crackpot, Robin DeSanto has few boundaries and even less patience. She notices the worst things and asks the wrong questions. She first worked for a secret government agency where she got her alien-enhanced body that allows her to move at super-speed. Her powers run on sugar; it has been remarked that she often "smells like Skittles".

History

After her first job fell through, Robin wanted for a job with a little less responsibility, and so she wandered into a toy store. Hired on the spot by Galasso, the owner of Shortpacked, she now enjoys wacky hijinx and toy jokes instead of "must-save-the-world" pressure. She crushes daily on her co-worker, Ethan, even though he's gay, and meddles incessantly in the mundane lives of her fellow employees. Her super-speed and combat skills look like they might just one day play a role in her job description, however.

She was also a member of the Federal House of Representatives. (Long story.)

Not much is known about Robin's childhood, other than that her father was less than faithful to her mother. She also states that her father beat her, though she may have been lying. She attended at least one prom, which almost led to her losing her virginity to someone named Miles. At some point near the turn of the millennium, she was recruited by SEMME and assigned to Squad 82

Robin was re-assigned to Squad 128 by Linda Walkerton when Mike Warner, who was badly beaten in a fight with David Walkerton, was transferred to her previous squad. She quickly proceeded to drive everyone in the squad insane, especially Joe, with whom she was sharing Mike's old room. As time went on, however, Joe began to suspect Robin of being his internet girlfriend, causing some tension between them. Eventually though, this passed and they became friends of a sort, even to the point that Robin seemed to develop feelings for Joe. However, when Joe finally managed to reach Rachel, Robin defended him, and encouraged them to pursue a relationship, despite those feelings.

After leaving SEMME, she took a job at Shortpacked, where she was shocked to find the very-dead  alive and also working there, and developed a crush on and is constantly trying to get him to "bang" her. The closest she has come to "banging" him was on the head when he noticed Batman before noticing her in a short plaid dress and matching bikkini top. She has also blackmailed him for snuggles by not telling Faz that he was gay. She has, however, kissed him and been kissed by him-- in each case, the kisser was trying to proved to the kissee that the kissee was not gay. Sadly, Ethan's kiss was successful, and Robin's was not.

Besides Ethan, Robin has proclaimed her desire to bear the children of Greg Killmaster, after becoming enamored with him when seeing his name in the credits of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Journeying to ILM headquarters in California, Robin abandoned the conquest when 'everyone' at ILM identified themselves as Greg Killmaster. Thus was probably because she announced her desire to mate with Killmaster at the top of her lungs. In the end, she decided that, since all she truly wanted was to have is name, that she could change it herself if she really wanted to.

Also after joining the staff at Shortpacked! she moved in with Amber. At one point she turned their kitchen into a pool. They had a lifeguard named Colin that she quickly renamed to Ethan. Determined to help Amber get over her shyness, she forced her to go to Iowa and meet her internet boyfriend.

At one point, she consumed a massive amount of sugar (in the form of Cadbury Egg cereal), a feat which resulted in her election to the office of state representative, under the platform of using her influence to convince Hasbro to make the Funeral Gown Padme figure. She steadfastly avoids any responsibility this position entails. Despite this, she maintains a firm and erect standing in the polls.

She is also the one that pulled the Drama Tag and found the Tome of the Ages.

Eventually, frustrated with Ethan's newfound gayness, she claimed to be a lesbian. In doing so, she enlists the help of Conquest (through the promise of licky-style makeouts) and the rest of the male Shortpacked! staff (through the videotaping of said makeouts) in order to completely convince Ethan of her lesbianity. This worked up to a point, but she was unable to keep herself from kissing Ethan when he confronted her. During the course of this, Robin acquired a lesbian of her very own. Although Ethan drove her away, Robin later sought her out, because she was the only one who had ever appreciated her. They remained friendly, despite Robin's assertions that she is not actually a lesbian. However Robin continued to call her 'my lesbian'.

Robin eventually rebuilt her friendships with Ethan and Amber following the 'Tome of Ages' scheme. Ethan even used her (and to a lesser extent Leslie) to prove his theory that if he were to buy a hard-to-find toy online, then it would magically appear in the stores simutaneously.

She later sent a letter to Joe asking for "some kind of equipment" to find that "Drama Tag" she found the year before. But he sent her Ultra Car, whose scans didn't pick it up.

She tried to pass Proposition 469 which was to ban cancer, eventually adding in a portion to get Ethan and Thadius together. Leslie added a portion stating that Robin had to make out with her every day. Robin later bought Leslie a huge frikkin' Millennium Falcon and a house to put it in, which she managed to move most of the Shortpacked! crew into.

Robin was angry when Sarah Palin was revealed to be the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, which led to Robin flying to Alaska to confront Sarah Palin.

When Proposition 469 flopped, due to Mike's interference, she revealed that she knew about Leslie's alterations to Proposition 469 and kissed her.

When Galasso fired the crew Robin knocked him out with a sign, twice. She also convinced Ethan to take over the store. During the fight with Sydney, Mike and Robin were at the Dino Park. Later, when Ethan decided to free Galasso, she locked him up in the office and decided that the remaining members would fight (probably to the death, probably) to see who would be the new manager. After the fight Leslie decided she couldn't just be Robin's friend anymore and said they could no longer see each other. Robin went to the park to try and settle her feelings about Leslie. There she met Ronnie, who helped her start her relationship with Leslie.
