She also adds that she has written “a lot of songs” that are “inspired” by the series.

In Stranger Things, Maya Hawke helms the character of Robin, whose life takes a turn after she becomes friends with Steve and eventually helps to find the clues to unfold the meaning of the code, which the group could not understand. Through her presence in the seasons, Robin slowly became a significant member, helping the group in facing the dangerous challenges that came their way.

In the final season, Maya Hawke’s Robin finds herself in a complex situation with her girlfriend, Vickie, as she is unable to tell the truth to her. Stakes get higher and higher with each passing moment, which eventually causes Robin to finally reveal the truth to Vickie. Though Vickie does not believe her initially, as she thinks that Robin is making up stories because she is addicted to drugs.

However, when she finally comes across a demodog, she has no other choice but to believe Robin. It cannot be denied that after the events of the fourth season, many viewers were worried about Robin’s life in the series. There was a possibility of Robin being killed in the final episode of the series.

While discussing the speculations amongst the fans about Robin’s well-being in the series, Maya Hawke admits that the viewers might have been “just sick of hearing” her talk so much that they hoped Vecna would just kill her.

Robin’s presence in the final season of the series has been extremely significant, especially for Will. The manner in which Robin helped Will navigate through the emotionally turbulent moment resonates deeply.

She eventually pushes him to accept himself, which finally helps him to overcome Vecna’s powers over him. Each of these aspects truly leaves an impact. Each and every cast member's presence in the final episodes of the series brought life to the overall storyline, making the series a memorable one.
