Timeframe: Eh
Spoilers: One reference to post-time skip appearances
Attrition
For years Robin and Crocodile warred against one another, until the day came she simply didn't have the energy left to fight any longer.
XxX
Bereft
While most enjoyed celebrating their birthdays, Robin always preferred to keep hers a low-key affair in memory of those who, by all rights, should still be alive to celebrate with her.
XxX
Cataclysm
The push of a button was all it took to change her life forever.
XxX
Doorstopper
The look on Professor Clover's face when he saw a five year old Nico Robin attempt to carry a book that weighed nearly as much as she did was only equaled when he saw her successfully read it.
XxX
Engrossed
It took three Straw Hats and a freak hurricane to catch her attention once she had started reading a new text detailing the history of a long-forgotten people.
XxX
Facetious
It took a great deal of explaining to convince Nami that, yes, there was an island in the sky, and, no, she wasn't trying to kill them all in convincing Luffy to go there.
XxX
Gobbledygook
It gave Robin no small amount of pride to know that she was the only one in the entire world who could look at the poneglyphs and see more than nonsense scribbles.
XxX
Haven
The lamb had always been a symbol of peace and innocence, maybe the figurehead of the Straw Hat's ship was a sign after all.
XxX
Idiosyncrasy
Robin let out a small sigh of relief when she discovered the Going Merry's ample supply of coffee.
XxX
Juxtapose
It was only after comparing her new life to the old that Robin realized she would rather die than lose them.
XxX
Kinship
In a way she felt responsible for looking out over them, like a mother watching over her adult children.
XxX
Lackluster
Robin refused to apologize to Franky for it; giant robots could never captivate her interests like a body that had been dead for a hundred years.
XxX
Magnanimous
Looking back, forgiveness wasn't enough to describe what the Straw Hats had given her.
XxX
Nadir
It was on that bridge as she was drug towards the Gate of Justice that Robin reached her lowest point.
XxX
Opportunistic
Whether it was a new clue in her hunt for the Lost History or simply a chance to pull a fast one on her crewmates, Robin always keeps her eyes peeled.
XxX
Pandemonium
With Straw Hat Luffy as captain there is never a dull moment.
XxX
Quandary
The question was whether or not killing the princess was in her best interest.
XxX
Recluse
Even as a child studying under the watchful eyes of the archeologists, there were times where Robin preferred to be left alone with her thoughts.
XxX
Succinct
If Luffy has taught her anything at all, it's that there is a certain genius in keeping things simple and to the point.
XxX
Tact
To be honest, she's amazed that they've made it this far without any whatsoever.
XxX
Unabashed
Having spent most of her life in the presence of less than savory individuals, Robin was surprised to learn that there were some things that just shouldn't be spoken of at the dinner table.
XxX
Vendetta
Forgiveness was out of the question, not when she still saw the ghosts of her loved ones every time she closed her eyes.
XxX
Waif
Robin didn't know what was worse, the looks of pity from the strangers that saw her duck in an alleyway, dirty and underfed, or the murderous rage that filled their eyes once they realized who she was.
XxX
Xerostomia
A split second was the only warning she got; the moment after her mouth went dry, Crocodile's hook pierced through her chest.
XxX
Yearn
At this point it would be impossible for her to settle down; the urge to know more, the wanderlust, always drives her onward.
XxX
Zeal
Every scrap of information, every last one of her vast collection of creepy facts, was learned the hard way: through intense study and never ending scrutiny of the world around her.
AN: This is what happens when you get done with your required work for lab at 10 and they don't let you leave until 2:30, lol.
Like it? Hate it? Let me know either way.
