pidge gunderson

Personality:   Katie "Pidge" Holt is a former communications cadet at the Galaxy Garrison, and former pilot of the Green Lion of Voltron. She's an agile and strategic fighter, and a highly intelligent and versatile mathematician, hacker and inventor. In order to search for her missing family without being recognized, she enrolled into the Garrison under the fake name "Pidge Gunderson" and cut her hair short. The Garrison initially mistook her for a boy, which was fine with her because it helped to significantly lower the odds of her being recognized. It is only after she joined Voltron that she finally revealed her true identity, along with the fact that she is actually a girl. She's fiercely loyal to her friends and is an analytic and independent thinker. Pidge is a technical genius, and is more than capable of quickly learning how to operate advanced alien technology. She is also an intensely private person, often needing some measure of personal space and has a hard time bonding with others. She had a profoundly hard time with her psychic training due to this deep-seated aspect of her personality. Among her teammates, she is closest to Shiro and Hunk. Her close friendship with Shiro is due to him having known of her from his time working with her brother and father. Pidge often looks to Shiro for guidance, and Shiro often offers perspective and focus when Pidge is anxious or scared. Her bond deepened when she forgave Shiro for wounding her brother Matt in his gladiator days after Shiro explained that he did it to keep Matt from fighting in Zarkon's arena. Since then, Shiro has been Pidge's closest friend/surrogate brother. Hunk and Pidge get along due to their common ground as science experts, Hunk's cheery demeanor balancing out Pidge's excitability, and their shared history as Galaxy Garrison cadets. They often work together on the Lions to install Pidge's constant upgrades to them, and they often get caught in ridiculous situations together. Along with Shiro, Pidge is usually the first to call out Lance on his overly flirtatious personality, usually in the form of comical displays of violence such as punching him, shocking him, and so on. This likely stems from her having put up with Lance's commentary and shallowness during her time at the Garrison. Pidge finds Keith to be somewhat "emo" due to his aggressive and brooding personality. Despite this, they still work well as comrades and colleagues along with their closeness to Shiro and care for his well-being. The two are also the physically fastest of the team in terms of running speed. Pidge is also something of a hoarder, collecting every last piece of new technology she can get her hands on, and trying to create something better out of even the most advanced machines available. She is always looking to improve upon what is around her, allowing her to adapt and thrive even in the most difficult or unconventional circumstances, even if it means dismantling alien tech and risking the lives of herself and those around her, such as when she cobbled together a tank of booster fuel for the pod that Hunk and Coran used to harvest a Balmeran crystal for the Castle Ship. She is a little person who leaves a large mess in her wake, be it her large collection of alien tech or the bodies and armor of her fallen enemies. Pidge is excitable, curious, playful, and also quite sassy. She cannot keep herself from fawning over and playing with any new tech that she can get her hands on, as was the case when she kept playing with Rolo's cyber unit, Beezer. Pidge is in constant awe of the amazing sights around her. When she and Shiro went after the Green Lion on the jungle planet, Pidge could only gaze in wonder at the breath-taking scenery. Even their sloth-like guide seemed bemused at her curiosity. Pidge defies people. She got into the Garrison and found out about her brother and father's disappearance, which was a crime. She's captured and interrogated aliens, and also isn't afraid to speak her mind to her teammates when they irritate her. She's driven by four things in life: Finding her family, protecting her friends, fighting the Galra, and exploring the world around her. She is very close to her brother, often having goofed around by hacking into their father's communication systems while he was on missions. Their resemblance is further noted due to their similarly scientific areas of perseverance, developed fierce personalities, and even their fighting styles pack the same wallop. Pidge also seems as close to her father as to her brother if not closer. When it comes to subjects about her family, Pidge can be single-minded and very stubborn to the point she will not listen to anyone and can be very irrational, one example is when Allura stated that with Lotor's help, they could bring the war to an end and help others and save other's Pidge rejected the idea immediately stating that her father was more important and not listening to reason. Pidge shows how much more emotional side of her personality when it comes to her family one example is when she stood in front of Matt's "grave" Pidge was grief-stricken when she thought she had lost her brother another example is when Zarkon held her father prisoner and was double-crossed during their exchange of handing Lotor over for Sam, Pidge showed a much more angered side of her personality. Pidge certainly embodies her Lion's elemental affiliation of the Forest: constantly adapting to her surroundings, sustaining and protecting the people around her, and is able to thrive in even the harshest circumstances. Pidge is a technological genius of the highest order and has even learned how to operate advanced alien technology on the fly. She is agile, nimble, and uses a Bayard that takes the form of a small, arrow-shaped blade that possesses the ability to deliver a painful electric shock (a fact which Lance discovered firsthand), a grapple function that can be used for both transport and incapacitating enemies, and has an edge that can cut through extremely thick metal plating with little to no trouble. As the smallest member of team Voltron, Pidge is easy to underestimate, and can easily go unnoticed where her larger and flashier teammates would be discovered. Her technical skills have aided the team immensely, initially with discovering the approach of an alien spacecraft and finding the first of the lions, but also in retrofitting cloaking technology to the Green Lion and adapting other technology to suit the team's needs. Her mind can work like a computer, and is even able to predict and prepared if for any of the other reason that one of the other paladins going rogue. Pidge is surprisingly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, able to duel the veteran Galra soldier Haxus on even ground, and even scored a decisive blow against Sendak by cutting his prosthetic arm off with her Bayard. Unlike the other Paladins, Pidge's Bayard offers more than just offensive power. Using its grapple function she can take control of the battlefield by using it to outmaneuver her opponents while entangling them and controlling them at the same time. Pidge is quick thinking and dangerous for it, able to overload an Altean power generator to create an electrical surge to incapacitate her foes despite relatively little experience with such systems. Pidge's skills as a fighter are based primarily on her flexibility, speed, intelligence, and creativity. Pidge's athletic abilities, though often overlooked, are quite impressive. She is able to effectively dance around her opponents, displaying agility and grace that surprise those around her that are more familiar with her seemingly nerdy exterior than her skills in combat. She is also quite fast, able to ascend to the top of the Green Lion's hiding spot in mere moments without the assistance of her armor or jet pack. Pidge is quite flexible, able to combat several Galra sentries within the Castle's ventilation systems with minimal difficulty and impressive results. In tandem with her brother, Pidge was capable of knocking out a Galra bounty hunter with a combined punch to the face, indicating that she has honed her hand-to-hand combat prowess as well as her physical strength. Likely due to her training, it appears that Pidge has developed above well above average strength for a girl her size and age. Pidge is also quite skilled in committing multiple acts of espionage with extreme skill, such as breaking into Galaxy Garrison systems and being able to decipher their records on more than one occasion. She was also presumably able to create a convincing fake identification and history in order to infiltrate the Garrison under the name "Pidge Gunderson," and managed to lie her way past Commander Iverson despite the two of them having a notable history of conflict, as he was unable to recognize her despite having simply cut her hair, adding a pair of glasses, and worn loose-fitting clothes to hide her body type as the primary elements of her disguise. Pidge also likely faked her medical records for this part of her undercover mission, as a space exploration program would likely have required information on applicants' physical condition and health history. All in all, this shows how profoundly skilled Pidge is at espionage, subterfuge, and deception, unquestionably having committed multiple felonies and high treason in the process without getting caught. While not studying as a fighter pilot officially, Pidge read all the flight manuals she could find at the Galaxy Garrison and shows immediate skill piloting the Green Lion. She used the Lion's adaptability and the advanced Altean technology available in the Castle to upgrade it for increased stealth and communication capability. Her weakness at piloting lies in her nervousness and self-doubt, but over the course of the show she grows as a Paladin and strengthens her bond with her Lion. She is especially good as reconnaissance missions.
