muse skillset symbols | accepting📚 — reading

i mean yeah, she’s good at reading. she’s always been a bookworm and the studious type, even if lately that interest has turned to more practical use than something to entertain. she can read things fast and still digest what she’s read. she can probably understand words scrolling across a screen just as fast as it tries to put them out for her.

muse skillset symbols | accepting🌷 — taking care of living things

i feel like, at the very minimum, pidge would be better at taking care of other things than she would herself. she gets so wrapped up in what she’s doing sometimes that she’ll forget to take care of her own needs (eat, sleep, etc), but i think she would handle other things differently?

at least i hope so omg. she had a dog at home, so i’d like to think she wasn’t just completely neglecting it/letting the rest of her family do the work.

well her family has a dog, which i’m sure she loves to death. also may or may not have been the little puppy eyes (lol pun) that talked her parents into adopting a pet in the first place.

since she isn’t a people person, it’s very possible she may have an easier time getting along with animals. also because she’d be super interested in learning about them too. i think she would treat a visit to the zoo like some big animal museum, which in a way it kind of is, so. as for specific animals, uh… the science nerd in me wants to say reptiles? like snakes and lizards and geckos. because those are really neat to learn about and i think she’d have a lot of fun learning about them.

she would probably want to know 100% exactly what it was capable of right away. every little detail possible on that. so the different hardware inside, and the specifications of those, would be a first and very important piece of information for her to find out.

i want to say not excessively? but i wouldn’t rule out everything.

she doesn’t strike me as the type to wear makeup and dress up super nice and hang out at the mall with all of her friends, but i could see a few little things. like picking flowers (flower crowns????), the occasional nail polish, some “”””girly”””” colors (purple/pink etc) and “”””girly”””” foods/drinks (sweet or fruity things). i like to think she preferred her long hair over her now-shorter hair if that counts too.

awful.

she’s kind of negligent on taking care of herself, so it’s really easy for her to sacrifice hours of sleep to work or pursue various interests -- sometimes even on accident. i wanna say too the obvious grief insomnia, but i doubt that is the only case since i see her as the type guilty of staying up too late even before her family disappeared.
