Robecca Steam

Robecca Steam is a character from the Monster High franchise.

Robecca is a robot and a student at Monster High. Robecca was built at the end of the 19th century by Hexiciah Steam, a renowned mad scientist. In addition to being a legend on the SKRM track, Robecca is a professional stuntwoman who can impress any crowd. Due to missing out on a long period of technological progress, she holds aversion against modern devices. Nonetheless, if they can't be avoided, she adapts to them easily. Robecca only has three true weaknesses: patina, her inability to keep track of time, and the fact that she breaks down (not literally) when she misses her father.

Appearance
Robecca's "skin" is copper brown, with several patches, bolts and rivets including two gears on the backside of her calf. Her wavy hair is black with blue streaks, and her eyes are copper-colored, with the irises shaped like cogwheels. She has rocket boots and wears goggles. Her top is blue and has brown diamonds, the middle is black with gear designs, and a black skirt with a blue metal skirt-like overlay.

Personality
Robecca is a polite creature, who makes sure to always stay proper and organized. Despite this, she is a lover of adrenaline, and a monster of great strength, speed and agility. As an avid athlete, she is also fair and her experience in sports makes her more wary of others' needs and faults, as she is also very observant.

Despite her struggle to take a pacifist route through things, she can get passionate and rather hot headed when things don't go her way, to the point where steam literally comes of her ears. She usually vessels this passionate trait towards following human's (or monster's) rights. As the feminist she is, she is all about female empowerment and the inclusion of women in the social agenda, which highly influenced her decision to step outside the boundaries and venture into the world of SKRM, where she was extremely outnumbered by male athletes.

Aside from her fight for respect and eagerness to please, her mind is kind of a mess, ever since she was dismantled. If the fact that she is missing a fully functional internal clock, which is always late, making her always arrive late to appointments, wasn't enough, her memory is also rather fragmented, making her forget major events in her life and only remember them as feelings of nostalgia, which she mostly doesn't recognize. She also has a clumsy streak in her.

Additionally, Robecca is a girl that lives in the past. Since she "grew up" in the early 20th century, she grew comfortable of using what today is considered outdated equipment, resorting only to typewriters and candles over computers and electric light. She is simply more comfortable this way and cannot put herself to adapt to the newest gadgets, so she always goes the old fashioned way. She doesn't seem too upset about being an orphan.

Abilities
Robecca is a robot simulacrum created by a human being cyborg and equipped with several gadgets that may come in handy at times. However, she is not a monster of many powers, which she replaces by her skill.

Skillset

 * Rocket Boots Proficiency: Robecca owns a pair of steam powered boots that allow her to levitate at will and move without the need of touching the ground or floor, enabling her to move at great speeds and even rise at large heights. Additionally, the boots can also produce fire from the soles.
 * SKRM: With these boots, Robecca has become an expert in SKRM, moving fast and swiftly without the need of roller skates. She was able to acquire the title of world champion, first female racer and captain of the Monster High SKRM team.
 * Metal Work: Robecca has shown she is a skilled metal worker as well as robotics and engineering, and she has even attempted to build her own robot alarm clock, which she successfully achieved.

Trivia

 * Her catchphrase is: "A scaredevil with style".
 * Her prototype box seen at the Toy Fair 2012 had a different catchphrase which was "A riveting personality".
 * In the Ghoulfriends series, Robecca is slightly different from what is shown in the specials / webisodes. It is mentioned that she lived in the time of the eighteenth century, which, according to her diary and all other continuity would not agree with her age of one hundred and sixteen years. Also, in the series, it is noted that whenever she is nervous, frustrated, angry or upset, steam exits her ears. Lastly, her speech pattern is often more out of date and slightly different from what she says in the cartoon.
 * Her birthday is July 29.
 * Unlike fellow robot Elle Eedee, she has a natural-sounding human voice rather than a staticky robotic voice.
 * Her Mini figurines have blue-green eyes rather than brown.
