I guess the sacrifice of my dignity is the only thing that will save us now. The things I endure for love. The Fates laugh at my torment
— Puck to [Meghan Chase in The Iron King, pg. 89

Robin Goodfellow (aka Robbie Goodfell or Puck) is a powerful summer fey ordered by King Oberon to watch over Meghan in the mortal world. Puck and Meghan have been good friends since she was about ten years old. Puck stayed close to Meghan and disguised himself as a human boy named Robbie Goodfell. He was the rival to Ash and was in love with Meghan, without her knowledge until later in the series. He was originally Robin of the Woods till he became Robin Goodfellow by King Oberon (The Iron Raven) and became the Jester of the Summer Court.



History[]

The Iron King[]

We first meet Puck/Robin at a bus stop, in which he scares Meghan into quote 'three feet into the air'. He then tells Megan about the Nevernever when her brother is kidnapped by the iron fey. They adventure with Ash to try to go to the Iron realm however Puck is shot by one of Manchinas people

The Iron Daughter []

Robin Goodfellow shows up to save Ash & Meghan a little after the goblin tunnels. Then Puck (Robin) says he will bring Meghan home to the human realm.

The Iron Queen []

When Meghan and Ash are faced with Glitch, an Iron Faerie, outside the museum in which they were in, Puck shows up. He is first seated on the rooftops, before transforming into a 'huge black raven', flying down, and transforming back. He then managed to duplicate himself, many times, intimidating Glitch and the Iron Faeries into leaving Meghan and Ash alone. Meghan notices a glimspe of pain in his eyes, a flicker of what she describes to be 'a glint of anger he couldn't quite conceal'. The three, Meghan, Ash, and Puck then set off to Leanansidhe's place. There, it is revealed that Puck has been hiding a secret from Meghan involving her father, who she believed had been stolen from her by Leanansidhe. After Leanansidhe tells Meghan what really occured, Meghan angers at Puck, screaming that it was him all along, him who had taken her father from her. After Meghan's little anger fit is finished, Puck seems to have vanished. When Meghan is later asked about whever or not Puck will come with them to the house that Leanansidhe has prepared, she replises with a curt 'I don't care'. Puck appears at the cabin they will reside in later, though Meghan pays him no mind.

She then later glares at him, as feelings from her tantrum seems to have remained. A change seems to come over Puck, and he reveals to Ash about their kiss, with what Meghan describes as an 'ugly voice', 'feral eyes', and a smirk. Puck then walks out of the cabin, to who knows where. After training with Ash and other things, Meghan than seems to miss Puck. While working on her Summer glamour, it's then realised than they now need Puck, as he is a Summer faerie. They find Puck sprawled out like some wild child on a tree, lazying around with no shirt on, surely to get bitten by bugs or whatnot. He's tossing a apple in one hand when Ash asks him about helping Meghan with her glamour. Puck then wants to hear Meghan ask herself, from her, as he so wonderfully describes, 'frosted pink lips'. After jumping down from a tree as, like I said, a wild child, he questions Meghan on when the last time that she used her glamour without feeling sick. After a big ol' conversation about things like that, which resulted in Meghan knowing that her Iron and Summer glamour can't coexist. Meghan spies a glimmer of remorse in Puck's eyes, and they decide that Puck will help her with her Summer glamour.

In his lessons with Meghan, Puck explains Summer glamour and all its uses. Ash later arrives, getting worried about Meghan when she gets a headache. Then in the middle of her session of learning with her father, Puck and Ash barge in to say that the Seelie and Unseelie court are looking for her. Meghan talks to the representatives of the two courts. Then the three head into the cabin, where Ash and Meghan have some rough bumps in their relationship. Puck then explains to ignorant Meghan how important the vow Ash gave Meghan was. Meghan is surprised to hear there's an edge in Puck's voice. Puck then puts an arm around Meghan. He wanders out of the room when Meghan and her father have a conversation. Meghan asks Ash to be her knight, which is some important tradition when if one of them dies the other one dies too. Buy one, get one free. Puck overhears part of the vow, but not Ash's true name. Firefires buzz around Puck, making his hair look like fire. Puck seems to have a expression on his face when he looks at Ash, respect, Meghan thinks. Puck then lays down on the ground, and they all do the same, including Grimalkin.

The next day they all head back to faerieland, where they head to the battlefront between the Iron realm and the Summer and Winter realms. Meghan proposes to the Summer queen and King that she is the only one who can go into the Iron realm. Puck is called inside the tent to speak to Oberon, so Meghan and Ash continue without him.

The Iron Knight []

He accompanies Ash to the End of the World so that Ash can earn a soul.

The Lost Prince []

Robin Goodfellow makes two small appearances in the book. The first is on Ethan's first trip to Central Park, where he helps defeat a group of the Forgotten. The other is near the end of the book when he is accompanying Ash to rescue Ethan and Keirran from "The Lady". 

Appearance[]

When we first meet him, Puck is describing as having vivid crimson, spiky hair, and lanky limbs that don't quite fit. His eyes are described as 'bright emerald green' in the first book of the trilogy 'The Iron Fey'. They usually have a mysterious glint in them which Meghan says never leaves entirely. He is tall in the human world and apparently grows when he drops his glamour in the Nevernever. He is tall, lean, and lanky. He is often described as handsome in a lean muscled and playful way, and has tan skin. He is told to be attractive, but not nearly as handsome as Ash.

Personality[]

Puck is funny, loyal, mischievous, lovable, kind, and slightly annoying. Described as a perfect best friend, that is just that. Friendzoned.

As seen in this quote from The Iron Raven, “I was Robin Goodfellow, the infamous Puck; I had kissed countless pretty girls, human and fey alike. Graceful nymphs, flirtatious satyrs, ethereal sidhe, and naive human females in the mortal world, none could resist my charm once I'd turned it on. I'd kissed a few boys as well, along with a mermaid, a trio of plant creatures that had no discernible gender, and one very disillusioned frog that thought it was a princess,” Puck is our bi/pan icon.
