Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a doctor who grew up in a small town with her father and three brothers. Her mother passed away when Roberta was only four years old, and Roberta has a difficult time accepting that she is growing into a woman without a mother figure in her life. This is compounded when Roberta learns the truth about her mother’s death.
Personality… tough, athletic, and compassionate. Roberta loves sports and doesn’t like letting others get the best of her. As a girl she was quite the tomboy, and Roberta would sometimes pretend to be a boy when spending time with her brothers. She could also often be found doing things with her best friends Samantha, Tina, and Chrissy, from bike-riding adventures to pranking the Wormer brothers.
