My vague idea for how Robin exists in Prism was that she moved to the city a bit before the DOME went up and she is not handling it well at all. Probably because she ran out of her meds.

Robin got a job as a Prism Fighter before the apathy over-took her, she probably wouldn't leave the house if not for work. Now she kind of sees herself as only valuable if she's working. And she's got a pretty solid mask of cool indifference when working.

Her weapons are the poker chips in her hair, she can take them out and throw like Ninja stars and they'll just respawn 'til she's out of magic.

Ace was probably the best thing to happen to her. She's a lot better at taking care of him than she is herself. And in turn Ace is good at signaling to her friend neighbor that Robin's spiraling again.

Side note my friend went absolutely feral over Robin's design and was the one who insisted on the hetero-chromia

OG Robin before she was called that-

So like- presumably they aren't getting streaming services, cable or signal to watch youtube. So there would probably be a major push back to traditional media? I don't remember which video it was mentioned in but I think @actuallyrea said there was still electricity, if limited?

And I love collecting my favorite shows and movies, and I love sharing them with people! And uh- well a lot of them are mysteries or mystery adjacent. Psych, NCIS, Warehouse 13, Detective Conan, all the Scooby Doo cartoons, Clue, etc. I have multiple copies of some of them.

So limited electricity, plus physical media equals- community viewings? And hey, I'm an event planner, I did theater, that's probably a thing too? So maybe Maddy functionally works for the city to handle entertainment?

The other thing you should know about me is I work in childcare. This became relevant when I started wondering why Maddy would want to be a Prism fighter at all? Then I thought, what if she didn't? With people having to take up very different jobs that don't allow them to work at home, now everyone needs a babysitter or daycare. And it might soothe some minds to have a Prism fighter nearby in case anything goes wrong. Keep the kids safe.

So the rough idea I had was Apollo and his kids swing by so see if anyone already working at the Daycare/School would take up the job, and they found a workaholic nursery employee with two kids in her arms, a third following her demanding snacks while wrestling her ID out of a fourth kid's mouth. And it's the same lady who plays a double feature each night, detective shows, always detective shows.

The detective theme is obvious where it came from but I found myself giving Maddy a Lot of her accent color. I didn't actually plan, she was originally only brown with the smallest bit of blue on her belt. But realized if her whole job was guarding the youths that it almost less sense that she had one desaturated color? So I made the inner lining of her capplet blue with a gradient on the skirt.

I also had wanted to make her hair look like a deerstalker Sherlock Holmes looking hat. But at some point it change so I don't think you can tell. I have short hair sketches that make it more obvious but like- Long hair is more fun.

For her civilian uniform, I gave her a blue shirt instead of brown because I had the clear mental image of Zoey looking at the design order and going "Ew, brown?" and only adding it to the skirt lining. Not that it matters, she usually shows up in whatever she wore for her day job, and white clothes and children usually ends poorly.

I forgot to include his name, but her Prism is called Que. As in the Question.
