Missy Robins

Ouraine Henriette Robins (b. 13th February 1984), better known as her stage name Missy Robins, is a Kuboian rapper and record producer of French and German heritage. Having started her career at the age of thirteen, she is credited as a pioneer of lipstick rap music.

Early life
Ouraine Henriette Robins was born on 13th February 1984 in the Dominion of Kuboia. Her mother, Viktoria Robins, is of German heritage whilst her father, Guy Monet, is of French and Swiss heritage. Her paternal family migrated to Jetania after World War II whilst her mother moved to Dominion of Kuboia in the early 1980s. Her parents met shortly afterwards and moved into the developing country to start a new, fresh life in a "peaceful" environment. Her name, Ouraine, is based around the French word reine meaning "queen", roughly translating to "our queen" - the word was popular amongst Kuboian girls in the 1980s and 1990s. Her middle name, Henriette, comes from her maternal grandmother who died before she was born.

Although she was born in Governhause, Robins and her father ended up moving to Hausekeep in North Kuboia after her parents separated when she was six years old. She recalls "Hausekeep was just being built at the time. It was mad seeing new buildings popping up constantly. It made me excited to see what would be next." Growing up, Robins did not see much of her mother, who was dealing with drinking problems at the time, though the two later began to see more of each other as she got older.

As a teenager she befriended Caroline Peutz and the two would spend days off freestyling over songs they recorded on a mixtape. Eventually, the two ended up recording songs in a studio and performing on a Hausekeep community radio station. The two were later signed to an independent record label called Hot Shot Records. Peutz went under the stage name CP Virus whilst Robins went under the stage name Missy Robins. The term "missy" had became a popular term Kuboian females began to refer to each other as during the mid 1990s.

Personal life
In July 2002, Robins was arrested at Espanbute, South Kuboia for possession of LSD. According to Robins, she simply "wanted to try and bit and see what it was like". She was ultimately discharged. In a 2020 interview, Robins said that she had also taken cannabis in her youth, but had not taken any drugs since the birth of her children. She said she overcome her minor drug addiction by drinking water, and always carrying a bottle with her.

Relationships and family
Robins identifies as bisexual, and has dated both men and women, though it is mostly her relationships with men that have been publicly scrutinised. As a teenager she dated child model and singer Kit Beerens, whom featured on Robins' single "Find a Way". Robins admitted in a 2017 interview that she "wasn't very faithful" towards Beerens. However, Beerens has stated that he is "always there" for her. The two reunited in 2022 for a live performance to coincide the twenty-fifth anniversary of "Find a Way".

In 2002, Robins began a relationship with Swedish-born writer Felix Larsson; together they had a son called Quu (b. 2003) and a daughter called Starlight (b. 2004). Starlight is also a lipstick rapper who performs under the stage name Lucky. In 2012, Robins revealed that she and Larsson had split. They eventually agreed to hold equal responsibility for their children.

As a teenager, Robins and CP Virus would have casual sex with each other, though both have denied ever being in a serious relationship. Robins claimed in an interview that casual sex amongst teenagers was common in North Kuboia in the 1990s, though others have disputed this claim.
