Robin Scherbatsky

Robin is a Scotch-drinking, cigar-smoking, gun-toting Canadian pop-star-turned-journalist-turned-morning-show-host.

She was born in Canada. Her father wanted a son and named her Robin Charles Scherbatsky Jr. The trauma of being forced to act like a boy to impress him coupled with the fall out from being caught kissing a boy caused things to fall apart with Robin Sr. and she moved in with her mother

She has a bad habit of saying the word ‘literally’ many times in conversation.Also she has another habit of saying ‘but…umm’ on live TV.

Robin owned five dogs, given to her by a series of ex-boyfriends, until Ted demanded that she get rid of them after Robin made Ted get rid of some of the things in his apartment. The dogs now reside on a farm with Robin’s aunt.
