Robin Ayou

Robin Ayou is the protagonist of Below Zero.

Robin is a Xenoworker and xenologist, but when she was told by Alterra that her sister had gone missing she went to 4546B to see for herself and try to find her sister Sam Ayou.

Appearance
Robin Ayou is a relatively tall woman, around 5'8" - 5'9" (174cm) with a slender build, narrow shoulders, a narrow nose, dark skin and brown eyes.

Robin’s hair is dark brown and worn tied back in a long ponytail. A blue-dyed streak is present on the left side of her hair, continuing into the ponytail.

Personality
Compared to Sam, Robin is much more friendly, thoughtful, and relaxed, though seems to prefer the company of animals over humans. She on multiple occasions tells Sam and asks her to act like they've met before, despite Sam wanting to continue the mission as professionally as possible.

Abilities
Like Ryley Robinson, Robin is in good physical shape, able to swim quickly over long distances and hold her breath for an impressive 45 seconds. She is also a competent pilot of land, sea and aerospace vehicles.

Early Life
According to Alterra, Robin was the second daughter of an unnamed single mother, and was raised by her along with her sister Sam, who is eleven years older than she was. Robin was home schooled, and had a pet cat named Potato, and developed an extensive interest in alien life.

Her mother
Due to the fact that Robin was raised solely by her mother, it can be assumed they had a positive relationship.

Sam Ayou
Her younger sister, Robin very clearly cares for Sam, often being much more relaxed around her compared to other people, despite their conflicting personalities. Robin also frequently jokes around with her and tells her she loves her, affirming a strong sibling-bond.

Al-An
Al-An and Robin seem to be a on somewhat positive terms, though Robin was displeased with Al-An forcing himself into Robin's cerebral cortex. Though she does seem to like him enough to name him, and is fully willing to construct him a new body.

Marguerit Maida
Robin and Marguerit have an estranged relationship. While Robin does not seem to harbor ill feelings towards Marguerit, the latter immediately distrusts both Robin and Al-An, and treats Robin rather poorly.
