Robyn Hill/History

Background
A graduate of Atlas Academy, Robyn is a candidate in the Kingdom of Atlas' council election, with news broadcasts describing her as a "Hometown Hero" of Mantle. She is running against Jacques Schnee for a seat on the Atlas council, and plans to "end Ironwood's tyranny" according to her supporters.

Stand-off at Solitas
In "Sparks", Robyn stands near a barricade, waiting for the vehicle that Ruby, Penny Polendina, Clover Ebi and Qrow are riding in, in order to find out why large sources of Dust are being transported to Amity Colosseum. Robyn presumably orders two of her Huntresses to approach the group from behind, and then greets Clover. She asks why all the Dust is being taken to Amity, saying that Mantle needs the Dust more due to the threat of Grimm attacks. Before she can get an answer, Penny comes out from the vehicle and asks Robyn to call off her Huntresses. Robyn relents, but after the protagonists pass, she vows to find discover why all the Dust is being transported to Amity, no matter what it takes.

The Night of the Election
Later, on the night of the election, Robyn and her Happy Huntresses hold a rally in Mantle, confident in her victory over her opponent, Jacques Schnee. Although her victory becomes increasingly unsure as the night goes on, she gives a short victory speech before the results are in. Suddenly, all the lights go out and a hooded figure begins killing many of her supporters and injures Fiona Thyme. Robyn is unable to defend against the attacker due to her lack of vision. When the power comes back, she sees Penny standing over her and a number of bodies in the rally as Schnee's victory is displayed across the screen. She deduces that Ironwood sent his robot to kill her and her supporters, and makes an enemy out of him and all of Atlas.
