Character Name: Romelle Series: Voltron: Legendary Defender Timeline: the end of season 7 Canon Resource Links:wiki
Personality:
Romelle comes from a colony of a few thousand, hidden from the rest of the universe for almost 10,000 years. She and the other Alteans were raised with the constant fear of being discovered by the Galra Empire, which had destroyed their home planet and killed most of the Altean people. The survivors were found and relocated to this hidden colony by Lotor, the half-Altean prince of the Galra Empire. Grateful, the rescued Alteans and their descendants have faithfully followed Lotor’s instructions, to the point where he is the de facto ruler of the colony. At some point, Lotor convinced them that another colony was necessary to ensure the future of the Altean people. Every so often, people would be chosen for this new colony and it was considered a great honor.
Despite being raised in this environment, Romelle was always skeptical and is the only one that ever questioned the truth of the other colony. She had no real evidence, only a strong feeling of wrongness. In spite of this, she didn’t waver from her conviction. As it turns out, her gut was right-- Lotor had been sending her people to a laboratory and draining them of their life-force. Knowing this, she was driven to save her people, even if they didn’t believe her. When Keith and Krolia found the colony and gave her a chance to discover the location of the “second colony,” Romelle took their offer without hesitation. She joined up with two complete strangers to leave the only home she ever knew in order to find the truth behind Lotor’s “second colony” and hopefully find a way to save her people. She’s brave, stubborn, and willing to take risks if it’s for something important to her. What’s even more interesting is that Krolia is a Galra, the sworn enemy of the Altean people, but Romelle never seemed unsettled or suspicious. Romelle is willing to let people prove themselves rather than judging them from the get-go.
Of course, there's a flip side to all of this. Even though she's brave, Romelle doesn't like taking any dangerous risks and distinctly hates the "adventures" that the Paladins go on, since they usually involve a few brushes with death. Her honesty can easily turn into being a little too blunt. Romelle tends to be that person who says what everyone is thinking. Romelle is also extremely curious. She hasn't interacted with anyone other than her fellow colonists until she meets Keith, and so she's intensely curious about everything. (There is an entire scene where she plays 'what's this button do' with the Red Lion. RIP, Lance.) It's still occasionally obvious that she grew up in an isolated settlement-- she won't understand certain idioms or will misunderstand someone's actions because she's never encountered anything similar before. Romelle has a lot to learn, but she's open to learning whatever she can.
At her core, Romelle is kind, curious, and loyal. She's willing to lend a hand to strangers, curious about the worlds (and peoples) outside of her colony, and loyal to her friends to the point of putting herself at risk for their sake.
