Uhhh-- What are your Paige's headcanon? Just curiously asking...And sorry if it's a bad time to ask it :")
OK SO I GUESS YOU WANT SKETCH GIRL?
( unrelated but Paige is like.... one of the rare human designs i’m actually happy with other than shrignold lol,, I love my clown doll girl ok )
Anyhoo!! Paige was the first of all the teachers and actually one of the only teachers Red directly made himself. That’s why he sings her song during the open mic night Roy was talent scouting at. In fact, her episode is literally a pilot more than it is an official episode.
She is the most close to how she’s meant to be, but obviously still.... very off. Roy’s influence directly contaminates what her theme is, and as long as she’s built on this horrible contradiction to..... art as a concept. ( psst. it’s capitalism.) She literally cannot do art without spiraling into a fit of self destruction.
She embodies what’s happening to the show. I mean, she literally does metaphorically in her episode, so I think it fits that her character does too.
She sincerely tries to teach creativity to the main 3, but gets increasingly frustrated by her utter lack of knowledge on the subject and is actually jealous of yellow’s natural artistic talent. She’s supposed to KNOW how to do this, but she just... doesn’t. It’s like a part of her own heart is missing.
But!! Being made by Red much like Duck was...... she’s actually the nicest and most normal of the teachers. Especially to other teachers. If any of the teachers are having a rough time with their own flaws, she’s the most compassionate. She’s kinda taken on the big sister role because of that. She’s really trying.
btw. green isn’t a creative color because it’s the color of money. That’s why it’s the symbol on the money flag in the kickstarter vids, a green circle with an X over it. The kickstart vid that Paige can be seen in... Paige knows what the problem is, but she can’t express it!! But she sure doesn’t like how the son of the guy who ruined everything likes the color of money....... >:\
