I was thinking more about the potential future of Kaida and Morgan with Children. Kaida would have her genetic clone daughter Kyden but I imagine they certainly wouldn't stop there and would still also want to adopt as well; Kaida was an Orphan once herself and doesn't want any kids to feel unwanted so they would end up having a very big family!
I figured since Kaida has her Salandit daughter, why not make the rest of them Eeveelutions like Morgan and each of them get a name after a Trickster god or hero from different cultures.
Robin gets her name from Robin Hood of English folklore, but specifically took some inspiration form an alternative version of the tale where Robin and Marian's daughter Gwyn took up the mantle of Robin Hood disguised as her father. Much like Loki there is no definitive version of the story of Robin Hood; Robin Hood is more like a grab bag of characters and individual stories that can be mixed and matched in different ways revolving around a heroic thief and his gang of friends robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Often times the time period he is set into is around the reign of King Richard the Lionheart, but this was actually a retcon; In earlier versions of the story the King was not given a specific identity, he was just A King who didn't approve of Robin's crimes but didn't do a lot to stop him and ever sometimes begrudgingly respected his cleverness and the loyalty of his friends. Later he was set in the period of King Richard to give Robin a "Good King" he was loyal to off on the Crusade and a "Bad King" in Richard's brother John, as a usurper to oppose in order to make Robin Hood more appealing to the nobility. They even changing his origins from just being a honorable thief to a Noble Lord who lost his Lordship and resorted to thievery to get back at at corrupt ruler.
Thematic to miss Robin here, crossdressing, disguises, and badass women are also not foreign to Robinhood stories. There is one story where Maiden Marian snuck out to go meet Robin while disguised as man. The two lovers bumped into one another but didn't recognize each other so when Marian would not reveal her identity, Robin attacked only to get his ass handed to him by Marian in a sword fight and before dealing the final blow Robin revealed his identity and Marian revealed her own. The both of them had a laugh over the silliness of their misunderstanding while Marian nursed the wounds she gave him. Aaawww
Robin is proud and honorable for being a trickster and a thief. She is discerning about exactly who is and who is not a good target for stealing from, and will step up to challenge anybody on fair grounds because she takes pride in her skills
