Farmer Robins was a farmer from the Eastern Kingdom and the father of Rook Robins. He was taken prisoner by the Grande Armée together with Rook and the rest of their village, and when he was severely wounded, Rook made a deal with General Marquis to save his father.[1]
Appearance and Personality[]
Farmer Robins was helped by Alex twice; once when she put up a magical fence made out of vines and leaves around his yard, which didn't help to keep any animals out because they ate it all, and the other time was when she helped build a new fence without magic.[2]
Farmer Robins was wary of magic, which is probably not just because of Alex's attempts to help him. As a citizen of the Eastern Kingdom (formerly The Sleeping Kingdom), he and his son, Rook, had been under the Sleeping Curse for a hundred years. His wife and his other son, who were across the border in another kingdom as the spell was activated, were not affected, and grew old and died while they were asleep.[3]
When the Grande Armée took the citizens of Farmer Robin's village, his son told the general the whereabouts of the rulers of each kingdom.
After the battle, Alex advised Rook to take his father to the healer Hagetta to take care of his wounds. It was not described if they actually went, or what his father thought about being healed by magic.[4]
Quotes[]
"We don't want your help and we don't need it. I know your people solve everything with just a flick of your wrist, but people like us know how to take care of ourselves. So please go turn a maid into a princess somewhere before I do or say something I'll regret."[5]
