During this mission, Pidge revealed that Shiro's old crew mates were her father and brother, yet despite their best efforts the search proved mostly futile when they learned from other prisoners that Pidge's family were no longer aboard the ship. When the Red Lion was discovered aboard Sendak's ship, the Paladins took the three Lions they had available into action to retrieve it. Shiro accompanied Pidge to a dense forest planet where the Green Lion was hidden, where it accepted her as its pilot. Given the chance to save her home and the galaxy, Pidge and her teammates became the new Paladins of Voltron, with Pidge becoming the pilot of the Green Lion. Following Keith's investigations into unusual energy readings, the group eventually found the Blue Lion in a nearby cavern.Īfter narrowly escaping a Galra attack, the group found themselves transported via wormhole to Arus, where they met Princess Allura and Coran and learned about Voltron. The trio went to break him out of Galaxy Patrol custody, but were beaten to that goal by Keith who they then joined in his escape. Pidge and her teammates - who had recently failed a simulation flight to Kerberos - then saw a Galran escape craft carrying Shiro crash-land in the nearby desert. Pidge eventually developed machinery to pick up interstellar radio chatter, which allowed her to learn of Galra Empire activity on the edge of the solar system. Infiltrating the Galaxy Garrison, she wound up assigned to a team with Lance and Hunk, beginning their friendship.
To further her investigation, she went undercover as a Galaxy Garrison cadet by the name of "Pidge Gunderson" and cut her hair and donned glasses to disguise herself as a boy. After being discovered hacking into Galaxy Garrison computers, she was escorted off the property and forbidden from ever returning. Refusing to believe the official report of their deaths by pilot error, Katie began her unrelenting search for her missing family. Katie's father and brother were lost on a mission to Kerberos, a moon of Pluto, along with Shiro. It is heavily implied she has started a career in science, potentially in physics, mathematics or engineering. In her final appearance, Pidge is dressed in a white lab coat, over a green v-neck tee, along with blue-tinted glasses. It had a black belt with the Voltron 'V' on the buckle and two gold stripes acknowledging Pidge's previous rank. It was a white coat with a mandarin collar, green chest and sleeves, buttoning up near the right breast pocket. During the Fire of Purification's invasion of Earth, Pidge wore a custom Galaxy Garrison senior cadet uniform. The jumper has pockets and a high floppy collar is secured with a grey neck brace.Īs a Paladin of Voltron, Pidge donned the standard white armor with green highlights associated with her position as pilot of the Green Lion. She wears a white shirt with green shoulders and a green waistband, and dark grey shorts. Pidge's casual outfit is comfort-orientated, loose, and androgynous.
She also wore black pants, a black belt, and boots. The coat zips up at the front, had two gold stripes to reflect her rank, and a gold badge on her right shoulder. She wore a white coat with a mandarin collar and an orange chest and sleeves. Pidge is first seen in her senior cadet uniform at the galaxy Garrison. In a photo of her and her brother taken in the summer, we see her wearing a comfortable white dress. She also liked to wear a practical green and white long-sleeved shirt, similar to the one she currently wears. Prior to her entry into the Garrison, Pidge had long hair held back by a headband, when it wasn't worn in a loose ponytail. Matt gave them to Pidge before he left on the Kerberos Mission with their father, Sam, and Shiro. These were given to her by her brother Matt, who originally needed them before the Garrison fixed his eyesight. She dons wire-framed, round, circular glasses with fake lenses to address her lack of actual visual impairment. She makes no obvious effort to cut or style her hair, so it tends to form two spikes on either side of her head and unruly bangs. She has brown eyes, fair skin, and disheveled light brown hair. She's the slimmest and shortest of the Paladins. Pidge's a shorter-than-average human girl, and her appearance reflects her androgynous personal style.
