Robin (Teen Titans)

Richard "Dick" Grayson is the overall main protagonist of the Teen Titans franchise. He is the leader of the Teen Titans, the former partner and adoptive son of Batman, the boyfriend of Starfire and a close friend towards Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg.

History
Richard John "Dick" Grayson was the son of acrobats Mary and John Grayson, who were a renowned trio of acrobats called the Flying Graysons. However, Mary and John were killed by the crime Tony Zucco when they performed a stunt on the trapeze in the circus ring without their son, due to the rope snapping, leaving Dick an orphan. He was sequentially adopted by the billionaire Bruce Wayne, who was the vigilante Batman. Eventually, Dick trained to become a vigilante under Batman's to tutelage, becoming his sidekick Robin. However, he eventually grew tired of being a sidekick and later  left Batman and Gotham, moving to Jump City to become his own hero. He eventually formed the Teen Titans with Starfire, Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy from the Gordanians. His romantic feelings for Starfire grew as the series progresses.

The team find themselves fighting criminals and supervillains to protect their home. Robin's main rival and arch-enemy is the criminal mastermind Slade Wilson, even vowing to one day being the supervillain to justice.

Among his teammates, Beast Boy and Cyborg are Robin's best friends and he shares a strong bond with Raven and currently dating Starfire.

Personality
Robin remains hardworking, stoic and levelheaded, which sometimes causes him to clash with the other Titans. This mostly stems from Robin's childhood, after losing his parents at a young age and his training from Batman. However, this does not exempt him from being loyal to his friends, trying to maintain balance in the team. Both he and Raven fit the role of helping the other Titans work through their problems. When Slade threatened to kill the Titans with bloodstream nanobots if Robin didn't agree to become his apprentice for a time, Robin submitted to protect the rest of the Titans. He also knows and is understanding of Raven's past and praises Beast Boy for his leadership skills (despite being annoyed with his friend's jokes from time to time. Robin is, at heart, a brave, selfless hero and a good friend. Underneath Robin's persona is Dick Grayson, a normal teenager who lost his parents at a relatively young age.

Fear of Slade
Usually wherever Slade is behind the Titans' predicaments, Robin grows borderline obsessed with hunting him down. However, this is because Robin knows Slade will not hesitate to harm an innocent person or harm Jump City. He hates whenever anyone compares him to Slade, as shown when he yelled at Beast Boy for doing such a thing.

During his time as Slade's apprentice, Robin was forced to remain loyal to him in exchange to keep his friends safe and to follow orders without question. After being coerced to engage his friends in combat and steeling, Robin had displayed a merciless and emotionless persona, forced to remain silent when fighting them but would fight them in a way but to harm them. However, the Titans were initially unaware of Robin's sudden change in loyalties until the nanoprobs in their blood stream attacked them during their last encounter with him.

Deep down, the Boy Wonder emotionally and psychologically never got over it, as seen in the episode "Haunted." His fear of Slade came to life after looking at Slade's mask long after  the man's demise. There, Robin breathed in a dust-like substance that made him hear, feel and see Slade. The more he fought the hallucinations, the more Slade would become aggressive towards him.In the end, Robin acknowledges they do have things in common but with a difference. Robin had his friends to help him cope with anything that is troubling him.

Relationships with Starfire and Batman
Robin and Starfire each have a crush on each other; however, only five episodes are focused on their relationship and they do not end up together until Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo. Robin may, however, have a strained relationship with his mentor, as he tries to avoid mentioning him. This is evident in the episode "Go!" where he cuts off a burglar questioning, "Aren't you supposed to be..." and reveals he came to Jump City to work as a solo superhero. Despite his apparent falling out with Batman, Robin still considers the man his father and when discussing his combat skills, claims he is "learned from the best."
