Robyn Jacobs
Robyn is the oldest kid of the Jacobs family, and first appeared in “A Worker Approved”, and last appeared in “Pen Pal”. However she makes a cameo appearance in “B-TV: Live!”, and is mentioned in the Labyrinth two-parter.
Family
- Main article: Jacobs family
Robyn is Dale and Ann Jacobs' oldest daughter. She has one sibling: Melanie Jacobs. In The Labyrinth, Part 2 Ann Jacobs notes that Robyn has moved out of the house.
Friends
Robyn is good friends with Jenny Roberts, Jessie Morales, Oscar Peterson, Jack Davis, Donna Barclay, and Connie Kendall.
Personality
Robyn is stubborn, impatient, and can be very mean at times. But deep down she has a heart of gold. She often looks for the easiest way out and desires to be the center of attention, but generally humbles herself and admits being wrong. She is sincere about her Christian faith but often isn't quite effective in sharing it with others. Despite all irritations, Robyn doesn't like Jack Davis calling her a different last name.
