.:Physical Appearance:. The charming man known as Robin Hood presents himself well built from all the training and fighting that is expected of him in the forest and the type of work he does. He has short light brown hair, fierce bright blue eyes, a little scruffy beard on his face and the tattoo of a lion on his arm.

.:Personality:. Robin Hood lives by a code, and as said so by himself, what kind of man would he be if he didn't have one? He follows this standard, which is to steal only from the rich to give to the poor and encourages his Merry Men to do the same thing. He gives it to those that need it the most, never taking anything to himself. He's selfless, loyal and protective. He'll go out of his way to help anyone in need and would do anything for his son Roland, especially after his mother Marian, died. This code he lives by can cause many heartache, including to himself, but that's the kind of live Robin lives.

.:Strengths:. Stealing. Leadership. His ability to go unnoticed.

.:Weaknesses:. His son. His heart. His code, which can put him in great danger.

.:History:. Robin Hood is an Outlaw. He was a common thief and it wasn't until he stole a horse from a poor man (for his own needs) that he saw the error of his ways and decided to reform. That was, of course, after he met his future wife, Marian, who was pointing an arrow at him and told Robin that that horse meant to a lot to her and her family. Robin, seeing the error of his ways, gives her family the horse, as well as his own two horses. It wasn't long until Robin fell in love and married her. Once happily married, the couple opens a tavern but it's quickly becoming troublesome, as the Sheriff of Nottingham demands payment, or Robin goes to jail – ultimately closing their business.

So Robin makes the decision of trying to find a solution, which comes to him in the form of Rumplestiltskin. The Dark One tells Robin that he will clear his taxes if he finds him the Elixir of the Hounded Heart. Robin agrees and takes a portal to Oz, where he meets yet another thief, Will, freeing him from the clutches of a guard as the portal falls on them. Will agrees to keep quiet about Robin's intentions if he brings him a little of the potion as well, to mend his broken heart. Robin sneaks into Zelena's castle and starts filling up to vials, only to be surprised by the Wicked Witch, causing him to break one of the vials. Not knowing that guards aren't supposed to speak to the witch, Robin salutes her. Zelena demands to know why Robin is stealing from her and swiftly, Robin picks up an enchanted bow that never seems to miss it's target. Zelena splits herself into three different images, urging Robin to make the right decision. Moments later, as Zelena attempts to throw a fireball at him, Robin hits a steam engine with the arrow and escapes the room.

Later he finds Will and lets him know that his mission was unsuccessful and he plans on dealing with Rumplestiltskin once he's back in his land. After a hug, Robin slips the unbroken vial into Will's pocket after learning that Will is dealing with the loss of his sister and wanted to use the potion to ease the pain. Back in his land, Robin defies the Sheriff and steals his gold, giving it back to the poor. And that's the moment Robin names himself Robin Hood and shows his wife the clover he stole from Oz, to change his appearance in order to stay hidden from the Dark One.

When Marian becomes pregnant and falls deathly ill, Robin Hood decides to steal from none other than Rumplestiltskin himself. Using the clover that glamours his appearance, Robin tries to sneak into The Dark One's castle but his caught by Rumple. Robin uses his enchanted bow to fire right at Rumplestiltskin, not missing the target. But instead of leaving triumphantly, Robin learns that The Dark One can't be killed and gets imprisoned and tortured. Later, Rumple's servant, Belle, feels sorry for Robin and sets him free. Once he finds his wife Marian, he uses the healing wand he stole from the castle on her, healing her right from her deathbed. Robin leads a very pregnant Marian away from a stray arrow, shot by Rumplestiltskin and the couple lives happily ever after...

Or so he thought. As everyone comes to know, all magic comes with a price and a few years after giving birth to his son Roland, Marian dies, only for Robin to blame himself for it. Once the first curse was broken, Robin and his son take up residence in Rumple's abandoned castle, where he finds his enchanted bow once again. Later it is almost used as Mulan and Neal arrive at the castle. Neal introduces himself as Baelfire, the Dark One's son and Robin believes him, claiming that no one would ever say that unless it were true. After looking around, Neal finds a hidden door – which surprises Robin, as he has never seen such magic before and he tried to wield the walking stick Neal just used to uncover the door, only nothing happened. Upon learning that Emma and Neal's son were in the Neverland, Robin agrees to help Neal get there by having his son Roland call for the Shadow, so Neal can travel to another realm. After the ordeal is over, Neal is riding with the shadow and his son his safe once more, Robin offers Mulan a spot with his Merry Man. She declines, claiming she has something else she needs to do, but later returns and takes up his offer.

When Regina and the folks from Storybrooke return to the Enchanted Forest, Robin and a couple of his Merry Man defend them against a flying monkey, saving Queen Regina and Snow White from it's attack. Later, Robin suggests that the Queen and her people can take up residence in Sherwood, until Regina can remove the intruder from her castle. The first time Robin actually noticed Regina was when she saved his son from the flying monkey, turning it into a stuffed toy and gifting it to the boy. Later on, Robin insists on accompanying Regina to her castle, where she can bring the shields down, in order to repay her for saving his son's life earlier. Upon reaching the castle, Robin learns about Regina's son, Henry, and that she's planning on using a Sleeping Curse on herself which can only be broken when her true love – her son – breaks it. Robin tries to stop her but she freezes him and walks off. Moments later Robin is unfrozen and Regina comes back, having had a change of heart as she wants to deal with the Wicked Witch first.

Much later, Robin helps Regina, Snow White and Prince Charming to break into the castle – getting yelled at by Regina in the process as he nearly killed her with an explosion – and once inside, they learn that Zelena's only weakness is white magic, the kind that Emma has. This causes Snow White to cast yet another curse so they can reach their daughter, but before it takes place, Zelena drops a potion that erases everyone's memories of the past year, including Robin's and his son's as they make the trip to Storybrooke this time around.

Love can be a strange thing and Robin Hood is no stranger to it's feelings. He once thought that he was deeply, madly in love with the woman that gave birth to his child. Marian captured his heart, even when she had that pointy arrow aimed at his head. But then he met her... Regina had quite the attitude, but even so, he knew there was something else behind the walls she kept up.

Even now, Robin isn't sure what to think. The twigs snap underneath his feet as he walks through the forest of Storybrooke. He has always enjoyed the scenary, reminds him of home. During his time in New York with his... no, that was not his wife – that was Regina's sister, thristing for revenge. But he missed it... he missed it all. He missed the forest, he missed Storybroke – home away from home. But most of all, he missed Regina. But now, with the evil Author gone and despite the dangers that lay ahead of them, Robin feels like everything will be alright. All they have to do is save Emma the same way she saved his Regina from becoming The Dark One and all will be well.

But what of Roland? How can he explain to his son that he's going to have a baby brother or sister to take care of in a few months? How can he explain to his son that a woman his father is not with, is going to give him yet another child, something he's always wanted when Marian was alive? His son might have no memories of his mother coming back from the Enchanted Forest, saved by Emma Swan months ago... but he's going to see his father and Regina holding a baby, his sibling.

His thoughts are interrupted as he hears a twig snap not too far from him. His fantastic hearing catches the faint sound and he knows he's not alone. Robin turns around and looks into the darkness, trying to see anything... perhaps a shadow, or the figure of a person. But he doesn't.

”Who goes there?” Robin speaks into the darkness, expecting an answer that doesn't come. He wishes he had his bow with him, or even that crossbow that Little John stole... how long ago now? He also misses the feeling of an arrow stuck in between his fingers, the gentle stroke of it's feathery tip as it screams at him to be released into the nearest target. That would have come in handy, especially when he doesn't know what kind of danger lies ahead. ”Show yourself!”

But nothing could have prepared Robin for what came next...
