Regina Mills fled from New York as soon as she graduated college and hid herself in a small town in the midwest, where her mother and her past would (hopefully) never find her. She became a teacher at an elementary school and adopted a baby boy. Robin Locksley moved to America from England after his wife left him with a five-year-old son. He was wary about moving to a small town practically in the middle of nowhere, but all of his worries go away when he meets his new co-workers.
