Name: Catherine “Pidge” Santorini
Nicknames: Katie, Pidge
Birthday: April 3th; 16 (Aries)
Class Year: Junior
Status: Tech Crew
Personality: Sassy and sarcastic with dry wit, Catherine Santorini doesn’t take flack from anybody, except for her father and people who deserve her respect. Although she is a teacher's daughter, she rarely uses that position for her own benefit. She is unafraid to stand up for herself and others when she believes herself to be in the right. However, she has a hard time befriending others due to her passions and intense need of personal space. Pidge doesn’t really care about what others think of her. If you are one of the closer people in her friend group, she is easily excitable, curious, and playful, occasionally joining the Als and Misha’s pranks when asked.
Another thing that can easily describe Pidge is that she can be a bit of a geek. She loves technology and freaks out every time she sees a new thing she can tinker with, even considering herself a technical genius, and is more than capable of quickly learning how to handle new technology. However, this mean she can be hoarder when it comes to new knickknacks and gadgets she’s found.
She can be a bit of a nut for conspiracy theories, almost always seeing a bigger picture to the smallest situations. Katie always looks for a way to improve the current situation and almost always has an end goal in mind.
She can easily adapt to new situations. Her biggest strength seems to be her determination. Pidge will never back down from a fight or a challenge.
Likes: Her father and other family members, technology, mysteries, the drama club, her tiny friend group in the drama club, peanut butter, peanut butter cookies, science, nature, science fiction, being with her friends, the Als, pulling pranks, robotics and inventing things from the trash, a good musical,
Dislikes: stuck-up jerks, how short she is, bullies, her nickname (at times she finds it embarrassing and it brings back bad memories), peanuts (she’s not allergic, just finds them too dry), being disturbed when focused on a project, anything too sweet, her birth mom, stressful situations, when people waste things, when Al and Misha's pranks go too far
Looks:
• Height: 5'2" (157 cm)
• Hair Color: Light Brown
• Eye Color: Light Brown
If you want to add anything else - Her appearance is pretty much her canon one (including the glasses)
Backstory: Catherine lived most of her life with just her father. Her mother left them, but she was too young to remember her leaving. She wasn’t quite sure if it was a divorce, a death, or if she just up and left them, unable to handle the responsibility of being a mother. As a single father, he tried her best to support her the best that she could and make sure that her child would have the best things life could offer. Ever since she could remember, Katie wasn’t fond of traditionally girly things like dollhouses or shades of pink, which kind of automatically made her a bit of an outcast among kids at her elementary school. They weren’t necessarily mean, but they somewhat pretended that she wasn’t there. She didn’t really mind though since the boys were a bit more accepting of her. The group of boys she hung around found the idea of cooties to be stupid and that anyone could be with anyone. Her father didn’t seem to mind her more masculine company. In fact, he was one of the more accepting members of her family who appreciated her hobbies and helped her indulge in more of her... unhealthy aspects, meaning that he never let Katie throw any of the gadgets away, being a bit of a science nut himself. Things seemed to be rosy until middle school, as was the case for other kids.
Her father recently got a job offer to become the chemistry teacher at Maverick High, a prestigious private school in the city, so she and Catherine had to move away from her friends and a good bit of her family when she was starting seventh grade. This meant that she had to start a new school. She did fairly well at that middle school receiving good grades that she was proud of, but she didn’t have as much of a social life as she did when she was younger. While her old group of friends found her intellect cool, some people at the new school weren't so keen on the idea of the new girl being better and smarter than them. It lead to her being bullied. It was little things: being ignored and shunned at the lunch table, being called a nerd once in a while, but they were still noticeable. It kept like that for a couple of months until it got a bit more serious. Things then started to get more physical. She got shoved into lockers and walls, and her dad didn’t come home as early as he used to since he often stayed in his classroom working grading papers and such. One day, one of her bullies called her a name that she never really forgot: Pidge, in reference to her height and bird-like figure. Pidge stopped for a second. That was a nickname her father and some of her friends back home gave her. How dare he take something positive and manipulate it for mocking purposes. She got extremely angry at this and punched him directly in the face multiple times, leading her to be suspended from the school she was at for a while. Her father was the first to hear about it and, surprisingly, he was proud of his little girl for standing up for herself, but still disappointed about the suspension. When she got back from the suspension, no one picked on her again, but they still kind of ignored her in fear of getting punched.
Years since the incident happened passed and Pidge joined her father at Maverick High. She fit in there quite nicely and made a few friends in the AV club and drama club as well; however, she felt more at home with the drama club kids, ultimately joining them her freshman year. Upon hearing about Ms. Kishi’s divorce, she was sympathetic, but kept her distance, fearing what was going to happen next.
