Welcome!

I'd like to take a minute to welcome you all to the Nico Robin Fan Club! I created this club since most of the other crewmembers all have dedication clubs, except Robin! We need to give her a little respect, because if we didn't have a historian, we'd never know what happened in the past! First and foremost though, before we start with the joining, here's a few words about Robin:

The poor girl! As a child, Nico Robin accidentally ate the Hana Hana no Mi, which allowed her to sprout any part of her body (though she normally prefers her hands) from wherever she wished. Around the same time, her mother, Nico Olvia, left her in order to find the Rio Poneglyph. Therefore, Robin had a miserable childhood with no real family or friends, since everyone called her a "devil girl" because of her powers. Regardless, Robin continued to do what she loved--read about history. Her island Ohara was famous for its scholars and historians, and she became one at the age of eight. Professor Clover and the others congratulated her for her accomplishment, but they scolded her when she talked about finding the Rio Poneglyph. Robin ran away and met a giant named Saul, who told her to laugh whenever it hurts to make herself feel better. The two of them laughed while saying, "Dereshi!" for the longest time, until one day Saul realized that Robin was Olvia's daughter. Olvia came back to Ohara to report her findings, and the World Government followed her. They discovered that the Ohara historians knew too much about the past, and the CP9 used the Buster Call, engulfing the island in flames. Before her death, Olvia held her daughter for the first time in six years, and Saul carried her away to the coast to escape. Before his death, Saul told Robin that there is no such thing as a life of pure loneliness. She should go out there and find her nakama! The future Ao Kiji allowed her to go because she was a mere child. So little Robin sailed away from the destroyed Ohara saying, "Dereshi!" as she cried.
As the years passed by, Nico Robin learned to hide herself from society. Eventually, a bounty of 79 million was placed on her head. No matter where she went or what she did, she would always have to run away, and the people around her would always hate her. When she was twenty-four, she finally found a place she was accepted--Baroque Works. Working with Sir Crocodile made her feel as though she had a use. It was not until Luffy saved her life that she realized who her true nakama are.

**********
Now it's time for the boring list of basic rules for the club. You probably already know what they are (since they seem to be the same for almost any club), but do Robin a favor and take a minute or two to read them just so we're clear. (Wow, I'm bored already.)

Rules

Obviously, you must be a fan of Nico Robin! She doesn't hafta be your favorite, but at least admire the girl.

Finally, please be nice to everyone! We all came here for one reason: to worship Nico Robin!
