Character's Name: Arizona Robbins
Birthdate: March 14, 1978
Age: 31
Occupation: Pediatric Surgeon
Hometown: Seattle, WA
Appearance:
Personality: Arizona has a "quirky" personality, and a costume designed to appeal to her young patients, including roller shoes and a Holly Hobbie pink scrub cap. She likes to think on the kid's level and refers to IV bags being filled with fairy dust. Arizona has an emotional attachment to her parent's. Arizona is confident, ambitious, and down right a cheerful person. Her weaknesses include babies and kids. One might even say her name is her weakness. Callie Torres is also another one of her weaknesses.
She may be cheerful and quirky but she has fought her battles at times. She hates when she is not taken seriously and also crying in front of the Chief. Her heart is set out on saving lives and making children's stays bearable. Arizona seems to appreciate everything she has in her life, as evidenced by her naturally happy and energetic nature. She is a true source of optimism and inspiration – not only for Callie, but for the entire staff at SGH.
History: Arizona hails from a navy family. Little is known about her past. She had one brother. However, he died over in Iraq due to lack of doctor's.
Following the death of Dr. Jordan Kenley (John Sloman) of a heart attack during an examination of one of his patients, Chief Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) replaces his head of pediatric surgery with Dr. Arizona Robbins, who graduated top of her class and was chief resident during her residency. She is initially disliked by Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), who disagrees with her treatment of a patient, however after seeking a second opinion, Bailey realizes that Arizona is correct.[1] Working alongside Arizona, she later develops an interest in pursuing pediatric surgery as a specialty.[2]
Arizona has a romantic interest in orthopedic resident Callie Torres (Sara Ramírez), and kisses her in the episode "Beat Your Heart Out".[2] However, when Callie asks her on a date and mentions that it would only be her second relationship with a woman, Arizona declines due to her inexperience.[3] She later apologizes, and asks Callie to dinner.[4] The two begin dating, but when Callie's father (Héctor Elizondo) learns of the relationship, he threatens to cut her off financially unless she returns home with him. Callie refuses to leave Seattle or Arizona, sacrificing her relationship with her father.[5] Callie struggles to adapt to the loss of her family and trust fund, and briefly contemplates lying that she and Arizona have broken up. Although Arizona states that she will support Callie whatever she decides, Callie ultimately opts not to deny their relationship.[6] Callie comes close to breaking up with Arizona as she struggles with her new financial restraints, however they later reconcile and sleep together for the first time.[7] When Callie's ex-husband George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) announces his intention to join the US Army and leave for Iraq as a trauma surgeon, Arizona is the only staff member to support his choice. Callie is initially angry, until Arizona explains that her brother was a soldier and died in Iraq.[8] Arizona tells Callie she loves her in Season 6, episode Invest in Love, and Callie says she loves her as well.
When Callie's father returns to Seattle and continues to reject his daughter's sexuality, Arizona is able to convince him to reconsider. She explains that her father and grandfather were both in the military, and that she was named after the USS Arizona which sunk in the Pearl Harbour attack, during which her grandfather saved nineteen lives before drowning. She tells Mr. Torres that her father was able to accept her own sexuality as she promised him she was still the "good man in a storm" he raised her to be, and that Callie is still the same person he raised.[9]
