Name: Robin HunterAge: 18Height: 5'10"Build: Skinny, Athletic.Appearance: Robin has long black wavy hair with side-swept bangs, usually putting her hair up in a high ponytail. She stands at 5'8" with pale skin, freckles around the nose area of her face, and blue eyes. Her outfit consists of dirty black and white sneakers, jean short shorts for mobility, and a black tank top, all covered in dirt and consisting of a few tears here and there. She also has a cross-body bag which she uses to carry her supplies.Family: ((Can list names or just number of family members, and if any are alive or dead, how many have been lost.))Personality: Robin puts on a cool, go-with-the-flow personality, but in reality, she is a perfectionist who hates failing others. She doesn't panic easily, and often never voices her emotions. She can be rather cocky at times, but is actually very nice. Robin is brave, always defending the ones she loves. She tends to be too hard on herself, especially ever since her adoption parents were bit.Occupation Before: College Student.Notable skills: Running.Bio: Before Outbreak: When Robin was born, her parents didn't have enough money to give her the life they wanted her to have, so they left her on the doorstep of a sweet old couple's house. They took her in and raised her as their own in Tennessee, and loved her as real parents should. When Robin was twelve, she started running track, and she loved it. She even continued it through high school.When she turned fourteen, they finally told her about her real parents, and Robin has been looking for her real parents ever since. While she wasn't searching up and down every street, she was keeping a close eye out, and even researching.When she turned seventeen, she began looking for colleges in Florida. When they finally found one, she and her adopted parents moved to Miami where they could still be together and have Robin in college. After Outbreak:Robin visited her parents after hearing the news that there was an outbreak in various places all over the world. They fended off zombies for days, until finally, they couldn't keep them away. The zombies bit her parents, and Robin was forced to kill them with a Katana on the mantel above the fireplace. She is now on the road by herself, using her track abilities to run from zombies, and using her Katana when needed.Disability/Fear: Claustrophobia, fear of heights.Weapon of Choice: Katana (Sorry if this sounds a lot like Michonne, but I really wanted to use one. Tell me if this is unacceptable.)Equipment: A leather cross-body bag that her mother made for her, containing:- A bottle of water- Flashlight (Small)- Lighter- Two cans of sliced peaches- Pocket knife (Too small to deal damage to zombies)

Well, the katana is not so much an issue. To be Michonne clone, you'd need to be black girl, wielding a daikatana, nodachi, or o-katana. It's a bigger blade, though it is reminiscent of the blades that my school favors. Michonne also seems to have some formalized training, and skill with it. 

I wonder how Robin knows how to use this particular sword, in so much as being able to deal with at least three zombies after just picking the blade up. There is no mention of kendo, kenjutsu, iaido, iaijutsu or any other sword art in her history. Also, I would like some detail on the sword. Are we taking just an itto taken from the fireplace mantle, or are we talking damascus steel? Are we talking about mono-tempered, or differentially tempered? How old/new is it? Where did her folks get it from? Is it shirasaya style, or is it furnished? 

If you don't know, that's cool. I'll be happy to help you figure it out. I'm fine with a katana. I have two that are high carbon steel my self. I got them for pretty cheap, and I should have paid four times more for them and it would have been good. Knowing the history of the blade, at least in a basic sense will be good, even if Robin doesn't know it herself.

As for the pocket knife... unless its really tiny, it can still be used to take out zombies as evidenced in the AMC series. Gotta be real close though. I've no problem with this either, as most of the time a pocket knife is a tool, rather than a weapon.
