Robyn Bonnie Schwarz is a Sim residing in Riverview, who has a minor role in the story of the Straight Family as the mother of Justine Schwarz and the grandmother of Starr Schwarz. Her bio suggests that her life of crime was the reason her marriage failed.
Appearance
Robyn is most likely of Cherokee/Native American descent based on her appearance. Robyn's signature outfit consists of glasses with brown rims, pearl earrings, white finger-less gloves, a black & white stripped t-shirt and shorts, and an orange vest.
Early life
Not much about Robyn's early life is known other than the fact that she grew up very poor. Struggling to get by day-to-day, she turned to a life of crime at a young age, introduced to it by her high-school boyfriend, Clyde Cantrell. It started out very minor, with small crimes like petty theft.
Robyn's life was turned upside down when she fell pregnant with her daughter, Justine. Clyde, however, could not have been the father, as the two had been broken up for some time when she discovered her pregnancy.
While living in Sunset Valley, she met and fell in love with Seth Thomas, and moved with him to Riverview.
Life in Riverview
After the move to Riverview, Robyn's life began to look up. She was happy in a relationship, she lived in a decent size house, but continued on her crime spree, going on petty theft, extortion, and crooked embezzlement. This caused conflict, as Seth was a police officer. Seth served her with divorce papers, and planned to expose her. He even had all the evidence down at the station. However, Seth didn't move out immediately, which gave Robyn the perfect opportunity to cover her tracks.
Covering her Tracks
One night, Seth came home from work and placed his keys on the kitchen island without thinking. He went upstairs to shower and his soon-to-be ex-wife snatched the keys off the island, pocketing them. While Seth was in the shower, Robyn took his police uniform under the guise of doing laundry. Donning the police uniform, she drove down to the station. Lying that she left her thermos in the cafeteria, she took all the security tapes, then walked into the evidence department and threw her file into the shredder. To throw the police off, she threw a few files into the shredder, including that of local criminals Julie Singer and Sammy Jeckars. Seth and the rest of the force were sure that Robyn was responsible, but their hands were tied. With no legal evidence left to convict her with, the police were forced to drop Robyn of her charges.
Life afterwards
After the divorce, Robyn became slightly promiscuous. She began to neglect Justine, and began to have short flings with a few men around town, including local womanizer Don Lothario. A wrench was thrown into her life when her daughter, Justine, ran off and eloped with Mike Erickson. Her unpaid bills piled up, and her house was repossessed. During this period, Robyn spent a short time in prison for tax evasion. When she got out of prison, she started squatting in a hut formerly inhabited by the infamous criminal Lucky Perkins, although she would later buy the land off the town government and fix it up.
Marriage to Tom
Robyn then met Tom, a divorced elderly man, who she started a relationship with. Things moved very fast, and the two moved in together. Tom, aging fast and desperate for companionship, quietly eloped with Robyn, giving the two the money to start fixing up the house. Tom also gave Robyn something else: Lycanthropy. However, Robyn took this to her advantage. With her heightened senses she could find valuables with ease.
One day, Robyn came home from work, frightened to find Tom's lifeless body lying on their bed. Police still suspected his wife for one reason: she had taken out a life insurance policy on Tom about 5 months prior. They did seem genuinely happy in spite of their age difference, but some of Robyn's neighbors did catch wind of a few horrible fights between the two, sparking great suspicion. However, the autopsy determined that Tom passed from natural causes. Everyone suspected she married him to get his life insurance money, even her own daughter. But since she wasn't responsible for Tom's demise, the police had no valid reason to arrest her. In fact, she was heartbroken over his death.
