Character
Name: Robin the Frog
Series: The Muppets franchise
Timeline: Post role in "A Christmas Carol"
Canon Resource Links: The Muppets Wiki is a time sink.
Personality: Robin the Frog is quite the tiny character. Young and small, he is easily overlooked by the cast of the Muppets. He is not as wacky or outgoing as the rest of the cast, and this leads to a few confidence issues. Earlier on in the seasons of the Muppet Show, Robin deals with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy, claiming “no one notices a six ounce frog…” And, indeed, many times, he’s just spoken over. In the episode I’m referencing, Kermit continually fails to hear him over larger, louder, brighter Muppets-despite the fact that this is his nephew. He doesn’t quite have the confidence to speak up as much as he should. As time progresses, Robin’s self confidence starts to soar, though his role in the show is never much amplified and he never becomes much louder or wackier. Instead, Robin remains one of the most down-to-earth Muppets, without the cynicism of many of the others, such as Sam the Eagle. It's easy to see that he looks up to Kermit and sees him as a role model, when one realizes his personality grows to be much like his Uncle's.
Perhaps because of his size and shyness, Robin is quite respectful and easily the most mature Muppet in the show. When he’s caught in the whirlwind of chaos, he’s a voice of reason. He’s courageous and strong of heart and noble, and will go out of his way to make someone else feel better about himself. Robin is one who remembers his lessons--it's Robin who incites the song "If Just One Person" during the Jim Henson memorial--the song that was once sung to make him realize that he wasn't as pointless as he thought (See both versions here. Jiiiiiim... ;A;). While not gullible, he’s very trusting, and this usually plays out well for him. He is a great believer in believing in others, since it took someone believing in him to make him realize that he made a difference.
Despite his maturity and kindness, Robin is still very much a child, prone to imagination decisions that may perhaps be considered too simplistic. He is stubborn on certain ideas, very much like any child and insists on the fact that he is indeed mature, and not as childish as he might seem. He doesn't like being placed with childish roles all throughout the show. He is very innocent, and spends time with people others might find annoying or frightening-like Fozzie and Sweetums (though the latter might be from the fact that Sweetums costarred in Robin’s debut film The Frog Prince). He also has possibly the best group of caretakers ever: A frog, a pig, a bear, a dog, a whatever, and a whole bunch of monsters. Being in such an environment, with so many people who are so different makes him far more accepting than the average little green frog.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Robin, like any Muppet is fairly straightforward in both of these categories. While he's kind, trusting, considerate and most certainly endearingly adorable, he's also prone to acts of immaturity and stubbornness while trying to hard to be mature. This also encompasses accidental rudeness. While he's confident, down to earth and rational, he's also very shy and quiet, and of course, easily overlooked.
Being a Muppet, Robin has an exceptional talent for making people feel good, and keeping people together. Also being a Muppet, Robin has to be completely and totally silly. Also, he's normally a frog (and a puppet), so that might be difficult for a while.

Samples
First Person Sample: Uncle Kermit! Uncle Kermit! Everyone! Are you there?! Can you hear me? Guys, you won’t believe what happened to me! I know this is gonna sound totally crazy, but it’s me! Robin! I’m a person! I have fingers and hair and I’m tall! Oh man, I’m probably taller than most of you guys!
And there's this little... thing following me around. It's called a Wooper and it's really neat! And there's apparently a whole bunch of monsters like him... I'm not so sure about catching and keeping monsters, though... What do you guys think?
[A short pause]
Guys… guys, are you there?
… Uncle Kermit?
… Guys…?
Third Person Sample: He kicked off his shoes--he was wearing shoes, it was so strange--before he sat down on the beach near the edge of New Bark Town. Setting his feet in the water, he looked out across it. This was a strange dream, probably the strangest he'd ever had if it was a dream at all. In dreams you could do all sorts of fantastic things, so the idea couldn't be discarded immediately.
He heard the shuffle of they blue monster he'd woken with at his side. It was called a Wooper, wasn't it? It wasn't like any monster Robin had seen before. To start with, it wasn't fuzzy, nor was it made of felt. It couldn't speak much, either, but there were some monsters that just couldn't. It didn't bother him much. He reached up, hesitantly, to pet it.
"Do you like it here, Gwain?" He spoke, knowing he wouldn't understand a thing the little blue monster says. "Do you think I can do it without everybody else?"
The Pokemon blinks up at him, not quite sure what he's asking.
"I guess it's a silly question to ask. I have to do it without everybody else, right?" Robin squares his shoulders--he's small, but not very small, not anymore. "I mean, the gang would tell me jut to keep going. They'd tell me not to give up. I bet Uncle Kermit... I bet he'd say it's time for my adventure, right? And I bet Gonzo--he'd think this place is amazing. I mean, nothing makes sense, really."
He swishes his feet around in the water. He can't really say he's worried about being so small. He's taller than Kermit, at this point. Or that he'd be alone, because he certainly isn't, even if he doesn't completely understand his partner.
He shakes his head, deciding he's spent too much time thinking about things, and fumbles with his bigger, stronger fingers to put his shoes back on. "You know, I never heard of a frog turning into a person before..." He gives a smile to the Pokemon who he's sure doesn't understand him, anyway. "Maybe I can get a kiss from a princess and be me again.
"But this isn't so bad for now."
