Robin Citroen-Keijzer (b. 2nd October 1987), better known by her stage name Little Bee, is a Kuboian rapper, model, entreprenuer and media personality. She rose to fame as a lipstick rapper and teen idol in the late 1990s and 2000s, having started her career at the age of twelve.

Biography
Robin Citroen-Keijzer was born in Jaillage, East Kuboia on 2nd October 1987. Her parents are from the Hague, the Netherlands; the two immigrated to the Dominion of Kuboia in the mid 1980s. Her parents divorced when she was three; whilst her mother Irma Keijzer stayed in Jaillage, she and her father Fass Citroen moved to Reichetto. Citroen ended up finding a new partner and had another daughter called Alisa. As a child, Robin felt resentful towards her younger half-sister, and an argument between her and her father ended with her moving back in with her mother at the age of eleven, changing her surname to simply Keijzer and distancing herself from her paternal family. Eventually, she and her father rekindled their relationship shortly before her twelfth birthday, though Robin has admitted it took a long time for the two to "truly" be close again.

In order to boost her confidence and to "find a purpose", Robin's mother helped her apply to act as a model for several companies and organisation. By early 2000, she appeared in a television promo for Nick Go! and modelled for Limited Too. Later, she and some of the other children were approached by Chloe Wallace to form a potential teen pop group - ultimately, she ended up being the only to bring Robin under her arm as she was the only one who showed interest.

Robin's stage name Little Bee comes from a nickname she had as a pre-teen; some of her friends and acquaintances would call her "B", which supposedly originated from one of her friends' inabilities to pronounce her name correctly.

Personal life
Robin's relationship with her parents as a teenager was inconsistent and often involved a lot of arguments, which often broke out over where the money she received from her music and modelling career should go. She eventually ended up resolving things with her family after threatening and preparing to move away from them at the age of eighteen.

Robin dated singer Zeke Peutz for approximately a year from 2003 to 2004; the two parted on good terms. Peutz' younger sister Adrianne noted in a 2018 interview that the two were spending a lot of time together, though Peutz denied any rumours that the two were dating again, a claim he restated in 2021. Shortly after their separation, Robin began to have ideations that she might be a lesbian. She ended up dating voice actress and singer Ankia Tineo in 2006; the two ended their relationship after fifteen months. Since then, Robin has admitted in several interviews that she has struggled with identifying her seuxal orientation.
