Personality
Dodger was always being compared to his older siblings, this caused him to gain an inferiority complex, but he didn't let that stop him. He became incredibly persistent to follow in his sibling's footsteps but simultaneously breaking peoples expectations of him. He is trusting, although wary at first until he is sure of the other person. He is confident and sincere and a loyal friend. He takes his responsibility seriously with an even temper and is friendly towards everyone he meets.

Since he has been lost in his siblings shadows for so long, he has become a perfectionist and finds it hard to except things that are less than perfect.

It takes a lot to get under his skin, but if someone or something drives him over the edge he becomes a ballistic and lost in his emotions.

History
Dodger was born into a prominent family of Huntsman in Vale. For five generations every member of the family has been a huntsman or huntress. Dodger was the youngest out of three children, the oldest was Coal, the second being Fuchsia. Instead of them building their weapons at a combat school, their weapons were chosen by the parents. All exhibited inherent skill with their weapons of choice except for Dodger. Since childhood he was not good at handling the weapon given to him and was always being looked down upon. His parents would always tell him that he would never be as good as his siblings if he did not train. While he did dream of becoming a huntsman one day, he did not want to be anything like his siblings. He wanted to carve his own path with his own weapon.

At the age of ten he created Deux Mousquetaires and began to train in the art of fencing in secret. A year into his secret training his older brother Coal found him and was appalled. He did not expect his little brother to go back on traditions that had been passed down for years. Furious, Coal ran at Dodger and started a to beat him. Dodger was taken by surprise and did not know what to do so he just took the punches until Fuchsia pulled Coal off. Dodger thought he was in the clear until Fuchsia slapped and scolded him for breaking tradition. They both left him and went back home to tell their parents.

When he got back home, Dodger was not greeted with screams or violence, he was met with silence. His parents had apparently decided to stop talking to him. His suspicions were found to be true when his brother told him that they were so distraught with him breaking tradition, that they would never speak a word to him again. Although they still fed him and sat at the same dinner table, they never spoke a word to him, it was as if he was dead but they still made a plate for him in mourning.

Several years passed and Dodger had become very skilled in handling his weapon and was able to find his semblance as well. At 17, he received a letter from his father, this was the first communication that he has had with Dodger for years. The letter described how his father was disappointed in him but he was still a Robinson and thus had to be sent to Beacon Academy to be a hunter. As excited as he was, Dodger was not looking forward to having to see his older brother and sister at school neatly every day. After passing the entrance exam, Dodger was shipped off to Beacon to become a hunter.

The two of them learned a lot from each other from that duel that brought them closer together.

Gin Wingate: Gin was a mystery to Dodger, he would always hide behind Kenji when the two were together or stand by himself without him. Dodger distrusted Gin at first but them he saw that his partner Rust was showing concern for the boy and started acting like his big sister. He started talking to Gin more and the two bonded over their interest in comics and became good friends.

Rust Conslow: Dodger's first impression of Rust was that she was hot-headed and powerful. Her speed almost made him regret making eye contact with her when they became partners.

Plus, he noticed that there was a history between her and Kenji that made him curious about their pasts.
