PLAYER↴ Name: Star/Starlight Contact: escaramilo Other Characters: n/a CHARACTER↴ Character Name: Pidge Gunderson aka Katie Holt Age: 14 Species: Human Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender Canon Point: End of season 1. Character Info: Pidge on the Voltron wiki. Personality: Pidge can come off as distant or a little stand-offish at times. She's definitely something of a tech geek and it's easy for her to get wrapped up in a project or in her purpose. It's not really that she intends to blow people off or to be rude, she just likes to focus on her work. Still, she's a teenager and if she's upset this can mean the silent treatment or at the least a stubborn refusal to talk about her problems. Aside from this stand-offishness related to her work, she also has a hard time opening up to people about her family and the situation surrounding her parents--finding her brother and father is the driving motivation for her sneaking into the academy and for remaining as a Paladin, but she holds her cards close to her chest until she warms up to her friends. Once Pidge does open up, she's an emphatic and loyal friend who's willing to put herself on the line to help others and to accomplish her goals. She's loyal to friends and family alike, working to find out what really happened to her missing father and brother despite being repeatedly stonewalled. She often refuses to quit and was willing to travel deep space by herself to try and track down her family, even if it meant leaving behind the last vestiges of a familiar life. Pidge does NOT give up easily, no matter what obstacles she's facing, whether it's intractable bureaucracy or alien warlords. Pidge has fire in her and isn't afraid to stand up for herself and even lets her temper get the best of her from time to time. Yelling at military officials or getting into an argument with her friends is normal for her. Plus, being a teenager comes with all the normal emotional ups and downs, aside from all the dramatic space adventures. She has a playful, mischievous side to her as well and is ready to throw in a smart remark or to cut Lance down to size if he's said something stupid. Her tech-mindedness is mated with an enthusiastic and energetic curiosity. Pidge enthusiastically fawns over and experiments with alien technology and has no problem with asking questions about things she doesn't yet understand. This curiosity also manifests itself in her unveiled awe at the amazing things and sites she experiences in her time with the Paadins and she has a vast enthusiasm for exploration and learning new things. Abilities: Pidge is your normal teenage girl and probably a little skinny, so she's not all that physically powerful. Still, she's quick on her feet and thinks quickly. She has some fighting skill with here paladin's weapon. Where she shines is her knowledge in technology and engineering. She's able to work on mechanical or electronic devices, knows her way around computer systems, and generally is something of a tech head. She is a problem-solver and tends to think quickly and analytically without too much trouble.
