The first appearance of Royanne followed a storyline in which Charlie Brown scored his first run, leading his baseball team to victory for the first time. Royanne, who was the pitcher for the opposing team which Charlie Brown scored against, claims to be Roy Hobbs' great-granddaughter. She then tells Charlie Browns that by scoring that home-run, he ruined her whole life. After the storyline in which she attempted to sell the baseball bat, Royanne never appeared in the comic strip again.
