Player: Lizzie | Doodlebuginette Character: Pidge Canon: post season 7 Age: 16 Bio Blurb: (optional: Wiki.)
Once upon a time, there was a girl who idolized her older brother and her father. She wanted nothing more than to be like them, and to one day follow in their footsteps. The girl and her brother were very close, and he taught her many things. One day, the brother and father had to leave on what should have been a routine mission, leaving the girl and her mother all alone. Time passed, and bad news came. The mission was a failure. The father and brother had perished. But the girl didn't believe this, and she set off to find the truth.
Her attempts at being subtle were swatted away like so many gnats, and so the girl took matters into her own hands. Cutting off her hair, she left her home and disguised herself in order to live amongst the people her father and brother had worked for. While searching for truth, and her family, the girl makes a couple of good friends. Soon, they become inseparable, and after a chance encounter on a roof one night, the girl follows her boys on what will eventually become a grand adventure involving an evil empire, spaceships and aliens of all colors, shapes and temperaments.
Personality Blurb: At first glance, Pidge comes across as a salty little tech gremlin who's just as likely to blow you off as she is to humor you at all. The truth is, unfortunately, not that far off. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. She's loyal to the people she cares about and would do just about anything for them. Though slow to trust, she's probably one of the better friends someone could ask for when they do manage to earn that title. Pidge is, in fact, a technical genius, able to work out the finer points of most types of tech after minimal amounts of exposure. She can be a little impatient at times, preferring to make things happen, rather than to sit around and wait. Admittedly, she has a bit of a temper, and it tends to burn hot and fast. While not one to typically hold grudges, she does take slights against herself or the people she cares about quite personally. Once she's made up her mind about something, it's next to impossible to change her decision.
Dealing with people in general for extended periods of time tends to exhaust her, and Pidge is absolutely more comfortable when she can fade into the background to let other people take the spotlight. The only possible exceptions to this rule are when she has something tangible to focus on. Giving her a project or a goal will generally override her tendency to hermit in a big way. On the flip side, things like shiny new tech or retro video games are almost always enough to excite her to the point of giddy rambling. There is probably nothing in the universe more important to her than family. Her friends would rank a close second, and everything else would fall somewhere below those things.
Preferred Essence(s): Hua Mulan, off the top of my head. Looking For: I'm open to suggestions, because I can't decide if having an essence that would suit her would be more fun than something completely random that she'd go "wtf" at~
Goal: Honestly, I love playing Pidge because she's always interesting to throw at a variety of settings. Despite her occasional aversion to people, I feel like she'll do well here because she's able to get along with so many different types of people. Ultimately, I'd like her to realize that opening up to people (outside of her group) isn't as terrible as she's come to believe.
Extra: ba-choo (still figuring things out, ahaha~) Questions: Why is a raven like a writing desk?
