Sketches of Robin, the albino leopard gecko boi who plays a big part in history of Skiefarien (Leif's world)

Back then, Beastfolk and weird powered powerborn were regarded as freaks, and beast folk mostly as mindless animals. Both were used as slaves, treated as low as animals, and were not protected by any laws. Robin and his sister Rebecca (both named themselves later on) found an interest in discarded picture books, learning using the words with pictures to learn to read. They listened to people and tried to learn to speak. When they were captured, or cruelly treated/played with by kids or people, they would take the unfortunate circumstances as an opportunity to be exposed to more words to learn. One day Robin overheard a girl named Susie practising outloud her list of words to memorise. He spoke for the first time, and asked her what those words were. Susie was shocked, never having interacted with a beast folk nor hear of one ever speaking, since they were known as mindless animals. Over the weeks, they grew a bond, and Susie would bring books to teach Robin new words.

One of the days Robin asks Susie what is a "person", and she realises that beast folk are people too, capable of thought and communication, telling him he is also a person, just like her and other normal humans. Reading the book "Robin Hood", Robin said he wanted to be better than him, instead of stealing, he would teach the rich to give to the poor, since they are all people. And so Susie gave him the name Robin.

Susie got to know his sister and helped her fuel her desire to learn too, helping to sneak her into school, since she only had scales on parts of her body to hide, no tail or unusual features apart from being an albino. Susie grew worried for them whenever they disappeared for days, having been caught and played around with by whoever wanted to, usually young boys with cruel curiosity. They made a promise to all study hard, become people the world would listen to, and change the current way of life, and to give beast folk and freaks human rights.

But one day, Robin was caught by the same group of boys that pulled/cut off his tail at monthly intervals in fascination to watch it grow back. This time they held the question of whether his hands could grow back the same way, stopping after having difficulty cutting through, and getting disgusted by the bone. They sweep him aside onto the dusty streets to bleed out, his final words being repetitive "I am a person".

His corpse was discovered by Susie days later, whom found the boys and scolded them, breaking down how they murdered a person, a kid like them who had his own hopes and dreams. This got Susie and Rebecca to work harder, writing essays on the topic that even the teacher found interesting enough to pass around. Later on as a scholar, Rebecca revealed to the world her race, and proved to them all how beast folk were intact not as mindless and dumb as they perceived. The story of her and her brother spread quickly and got people riled up, pressing the government for a change of rights. Freaks and beast folk were then given equal human rights, sealing Robin, Rebecca and Susie into the City's history.

Susie later on continued to write on the topic, setting up orphanages for those beast folk stranded in alleys and other low living condition areas. She founded the BSUY (school where Dew, Copper, Night, Fleek and others are), having two statues of Robin built on their grounds, letting him stand where he can witness his dream come true. Approaching her final years, old Susie places the Robin Hood book at the foot of the statue outside BSUY, reminiscing how far they've come and what they've done.
