She is a young high school student who works as an assistant for her school’s gymnastics team, the Buffalo Flyers. Prior to this role, Robin had been a dedicated competitor in the sport until a car accident claimed her father’s life and left her with a leg injury that ended her career. Unfortunately, Robin’s home life is no better as she faces mistreatment from her stepfather Jack, following her mother Marge’s marriage to him. However, with the support of her friends Roy (a bus driver) and Fred (a security guard), Robin continues to secretly train at an abandoned warehouse.
