Robin Byrne

Born in the West End neighbourhood of Boston, Massachusetts, Robin was brought up in a middle-class Irish-Jewish family as the youngest of five children of which she was the only girl. As a result, she has a reputation for being tough-talking and very blunt, although not to the extent of being a tomboy despite the fact that she'll often admit she finds it difficult to relate to other women. A hard-working student, Robin left High School with good grades and chose to major in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Only a few credits short of graduating, Robin joined the Young Republicans and started to find herself increasingly interested in politics, ultimately leading her to make the decision to switch her major to Political Science with a minor in American Studies. With her parents declaring they wouldn't pay her tuition fees for another four years, however, Robin was forced to get a job. Having heard about the recently elected Republican state senator David O'Brien, Robin originally intended to apply for any job on his staff, but made quite an impression on Kitty Stewart by appearing quite suddenly and acting as though she'd already been hired. It seemed to work, however, as Robin obtained the position of Kitty's assistant soon after and has held it ever since.
