pidge headcanons cause i'm bored and they're on my mind
- autistic (they've got that autistic girl swag)
- anemic and Hates the cold (the coldest of space doesn't count to her)
- didn't necessarily mind being referring to as a girl growing up but just never felt like it was quite right
- "i might be nonbinary but i gotta fight in a space war so im not worried about that rn"
- always did her own hair cause they don't like other people touching it (did let her mom help but that's it cause matt is way too bad at it)
- bruises easily but that's just cause they're pale
- switches between viewing shiro as a father and brother figure while she's missing both of hers
- views lance, keith, and hunk all as kinda stand in brothers but lance more so than the others since he is the closest to matt personality wise
- rarely actually sleeps in her bed and usually ends up taking naps in a little nook she's made up in the corner of the room with pillows and blankets (uses some blankets as curtains to block out light)
- always slept with a nightlight so they'd always have a light to work with in the dark and is now just so used to it they find it hard to sleep without one
- allergic to nuts (coran helps them check for any kind of nut equivalent things on alien planets)
- high pain tolerance (a struggle to the others as she will insist she's fine over some injuries they really shouldn't be fine over)
- green and the other lions refer to them as "the cub" or "their cub" due to her being the youngest
- insomniac (them and keith end up staying up together watching movies or training a lot)
- everyone assumed they would be embarrassed explaining to allura and coran what periods were when they ran out of supplies for that in space but they did not care honestly she gave just a pretty straight forward explanation and they seemed to understand it was pretty much just basic human biology and helped find alternatives (pidge is a scientist they don't give a fuck when it comes to talking about that)
- i know in canon the glasses they wear aren't real cause she took the real lenses out but in my mind they are and she wore them too much so their eyes adjusted and now they actually need them (she's very annoyed by that)
- holds the record for "most times used as a human shield" (very bitter about that too)
- never really considered all those blowing up galra ships and stuff as kills cause they were so disconnected from it but the first time she actually killed someone face to face it didn't really register in the moment cause of all the adrenaline then when it finally did they threw up cause it really tripped her up despite that just being a reality of war
- has gotten captured solo before and took so long to tell the others the full extent of what happened despite them already seeing the scars
- hates cryopods (too cold and makes her brain all fuzzy tho lance says that's the appeal of it cause he doesn't have to think (keith says he never thinks anyways))
- likes to keep themselves occupied especially when there's no mission or fight and the paladins have free time so has so many half started and half finished projects
- has recorded videos for each paladin (and their family) in case she dies
- didn't learn to swim in childhood cause they had beef with water (doesn't like being wet)
- did have to learn to swim when the others insisted after they almost drowned on a mission (did not like this but agreed and now they can)
- double jointed elbows (freaks coran and allura out)
-asexual lesbian but not really looking to date more so if it happens in the future after the war then hey it happens
- lets her hair grow out a little after the war but keeps it at around shoulder length
- has faint freckles but they never really show cause she rarely spends time in the sun for them to (mainly across their shoulders and back)
- paired with lance and hunk back at the garrison cause she was too smart for her age range but still didn't get as much combat training as they did
- felt kinda strange being referring to as he/him at the garrison (wasn't bad but also wasn't exactly right but definitely helped push they weren't fully a girl)
- wore a dress at a formal event one time and now never will again (did not feel good in it and also did not like the looks they got) so now tends to just match the guys in a button up and slacks
- doesn't hate dressing feminine but is just pretty picky about when to wear them (really has to be in the mindset for it cause it reminds her too much of who she used to be)
- always assumed to be a boy by people when they first meet and doesn't correct them (a safely thing allura and coran suggest so really only allies and friends know the truth)
this is all i can think of right now but please feel free to share some of your own!
