In a serene neighbourhood on the outskirts of the Forks; Washington State of the USA, young Robert came into the world amidst a loving family steeped in heroism. Born to Erik Anderson and his wife Ingrid Müller, their home was a sanctuary where tales of valour intertwined with bedtime stories, shaping Robert's earliest perceptions of heroism.

His parents, both low-ranking heroes with their own unique quirks, fostered an environment of love, laughter, and a deep devotion to justice. They nurtured Robert's potential, instilling in him the values of compassion, integrity, and the importance of using one's abilities for the greater good.

From a tender age, Robert's curiosity knew no bounds. His days were spent exploring the vibrant woods surrounding their suburban home or gazing up at the star-studded sky, his imagination ignited by the wonders of nature. These moments of solitude became his haven, a place where dreams took flight and his thirst for adventure blossomed. Indeed, the State of Washington offered an incredible natural setting for Robert to grow up in, allowing the boy to enjoy a peaceful childhood whilst his parents were heroes in their own right. Its lush forests, picturesque mountains, and diverse wildlife allowed the boys love of the wildlife and open air furthering his love for nature and tranquillity.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, particularly in areas near the Olympic National Park, allowed Robert to immerse in a world of dense forests, cascading waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. The serene landscapes and the majesty of the Pacific coastlines had been integral parts of his formative years, fostering his deep appreciation for the outdoors and influencing his connection to nature. From exploring the wooded trails, discovering hidden streams, and marvelling at the towering trees of the Olympic Peninsula have also been regular occurrences in Robert's childhood. The pristine beauty of this region significantly shaped his character, instilling in him a sense of wonder, respect for the environment, and a longing for adventure amidst nature's grandeur.

As he grew, Robert's lack of a discernible quirk became a subtle undercurrent in his life. Despite the absence of overt superpowers, his parents emphasized that true heroism lay in one's actions and the strength of character rather than solely in extraordinary abilities. His eleventh birthday, a milestone for budding heroes, brought with it a mix of anticipation and unease. It marked the age by which many children discovered and honed their quirks. Yet for Robert, his abilities remained elusive, shrouded in uncertainty. This discrepancy weighed on his young mind, stirring a blend of disappointment and determination to prove his worth.

In the face of this uncertainty, Robert's resolve solidified. Fuelled by his parents' unwavering support and a fervent desire to emulate the heroes he admired, he delved into physical training and academic studies with fervour. His afternoons were dedicated to rigorous exercises, his evenings spent engrossed in hero biographies, drawing inspiration from their tales of bravery and sacrifice. Despite the absence of a visible quirk, Robert's determination, and aspiration to enrol at U.A. High School remained steadfast. His parents, both proud and concerned, encouraged his ambition, imparting invaluable lessons in resilience and perseverance.

Excelling in his studies became a way for him to compensate for the uncertainty surrounding his quirk, channeling his energy into academics and extracurricular activities.

Despite his love for academia, Robert faced challenges and occasional scepticism from peers due to his lack of a discernible quirk. While some were supportive, others were quick to cast doubt on his aspirations of becoming a hero, questioning his potential without a visible superpower.

However, these challenges only fuelled Robert's determination. He poured himself into various activities, from joining the school's track team to participating in community environmental initiatives. His love for running not only showcased his physical prowess but also became an outlet for his pent-up frustrations and aspirations.

Throughout his school years, Robert's passion for heroism and admiration for renowned heroes continued to blossom. He often found solace in the stories of heroes who overcame adversity through sheer determination and resilience, drawing inspiration from their unwavering spirit in the face of challenges. As he approached high school, Robert's resolve to attend U.A. Academy, a prestigious institution for aspiring heroes, remained unshaken. His parents' unwavering support and the lessons learned from their own heroism instilled in him a belief that true heroism transcended superpowers, emphasizing the importance of character, integrity, and unwavering determination.

Robert's high school aspirations were powered by a desire to prove that one could embody the essence of heroism through actions and unwavering determination, with or without a visible quirk. His school years were a testament to his resilience, forging a path that would lead him to U.A., driven by a deep-seated aspiration to become a hero, powers or not.

Once Robert approached his 18th birthday, a significant development occurred that would alter the trajectory of his journey towards heroism. After years of uncertainty, a medical report finally revealed the activation of his previously elusive quirk, albeit in its nascent and minimal state.

The news sent ripples of excitement and anticipation through the Anderson household. It was a momentous occasion that filled both Robert and his parents with a blend of hope and trepidation. Despite its initial subtlety and limited manifestation, the activation of his quirk marked a turning point, a beacon of possibility illuminating his path toward his long-held dream of attending U.A. Academy. With the support of his family, who pulled strings and utilized their connections, Robert's enrolment at U.A. Academy in Japan became a reality.
