One of the benefits of having an unstable reality field is the opportunity to celebrate the birthday of the coolest woman introduced in Season 8 in our very own verse! Robin is the minder of Sephrilian’s reality field, chosen to watch over a small house which serves as a mask to Sephrilian’s domain. Upon their arrival, she warns Buffy and Willow that magic is not to be used inside, lest the magic containing the field become unstable. Fitting the non-linear time Robin experiences, Willow knows her by name upon what appears to be their initial meeting. A remant of Robin is projected to Buffy and Willow while inside and reveals that someone close to Buffy will betray her. As Buffy and Willow destroy Sephrilian with some magical assistance, the field can no longer be contained allowing Robin some time to herself until she is reassigned. Robin is named after Robin Balzer, whose husband wrote to Dark Horse comics about his wife’s disability in response to a contest posted on MySpace.com. Balzer, dignosed with schizophrenia, found comfort in the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and used her relation to the characters on the show as a coping device for her condition. |
