Paladinsona Week - Tumblr Posts
Day 1: Introductions
Please welcome… My paladinsona!!!
Name: Rosabell
Age: 14 (human years)
Birth date: Twentieth rotation of the second Mahine on the third Quintant of the Spicolian movement (Wednesday February 20th)
Height: 5'5
Gender: “Flowers don’t have genders, silly!” But they just rolls with the pronoun “her” because that’s what everyone assumes, they doesn’t really care unless someone uses it as an insult
Specie: Floseran
Occupation: Red Paladin of Voltron, Red Lion Pilot
Bayard: Multifunctional whip
Personality: Likes peace and quiet. Like their Lion, they’re temperamental — unnecessary loud noises tend to rile them up the most. Actually unnecessary anything bothers them. (“Can’t they just, I don’t know, talk it out?! They just start shooting us on sight!” “They’re the bad guys! Of course they’re going to shoot us!” “SHUT IT, YANG ← @y-annah ’s paladinsona”)
Other:
When angered, thorns sprout from their skin (which is very often because a certain paladin cannot be quiet), their suit’s been modified so the thorns to destroy the inner spandex layer
Believe it or not, the flowers on the crown of their head are a part of her (“So… you’re a living garden?” “Shut up.”)
Doesn’t like wearing their helmet, it bothers the flowers
Got mistaken as an human quite a few times
Doesn’t like their fire power (“Why not it’s so cool!” “I’m a plant.” “Right. My bad.”)
Likes to make tea with the flowers they grow on themself
Has an odd habit of making puns when they’re annoyed
Their flower head is also multifunctional like her Bayard, the flowers can be used as food, medicine or poison — depending on Rosabell’s mood — so be careful!
Bleeds green blood because science — chlorophyll.
@ectochoir hope you enjoy the next few days with my paladinsona!!!
Day 2: Bayard
Rosabell’s Bayard is a multifunctional whip. It actually has two modes of activation (a bit like Pidge’s Bayard). When it first transforms, it’s cord is black and it acts like a normal whip which can also serve as a lasso. But depending on situation, it will glow red and serve a function. Like electrocuting an enemy or grappling on to a ledge to escape.
Rosabell prefers close-range combat rather than long-range. She likes to use her whip like a lasso to incapacitate and drag her enemy towards her. On a side note, it’s an awesome way to control the “wilder” Paladins.
( @ectochoir I wonder if you'll be annoyed if I constantly tag you...)
Day 3: Team Bonding
“Oh come on Rosy, my flower girl, having a portable personal garden is pretty sick.”
“Give me my clothes or I will give you a personal taste of my portable garden’s tea. It’s got a killer taste.”
Well, Rosabell gets along more or less fine with the others, but Ya-yang ( @y-annah ’s Paladinsona ). The Blue Paladin just loves getting on their nerves. Well maybe they doesn’t actually mean to, but Ya-yang is really really loud. So they are the reason why their thorns sprout other than in battle.
The one thing they won’t admit is that they like working with Ya-yang, when they’re not being obnoxious.
“But you’re sure you don’t want to talk about it? I’m a good listener.”
“Maybe after another cup of tea?”
“Sure thing, Anloki.”
On their home planet, Rosabell was known for their unique calming tea. They make it often for their worrywart leader, Anloki ( @bearoflimes ’s Paladinsona), and only sometimes will he talk to them about his worries. If not, they like to keep their leader company. The one thing they loves the most about Anloki is that he respects their need for silence, so sometimes they just sit back-to-back for hours without a word. Just enjoying each other’s presence.

Day 5: Battlefield
Rosabell is pretty level-headed for the sake of the mission, but she easily gets fed up if it takes too long. In the heat of the battle, she gets more reckless and often takes off her helmet — breaking away from the communication — much to the team’s displeasure.
Injured? Yes. They’re often injured with scrapes and bruises but nothing too serious. At least until the Galra targeted their home planet. Just their luck that the first Floserans they target are their family, they ignored everyone’s call to think of a plan before jumping in. They hopped into their Lion and raced to their planet. Not a smart idea on their behalf, but her family was on the line. Needless to say, they got their ass handed to them.
That mission was where they got their by far worst injury, their flowers were ripped from her head. After a close battle, Rosabell spent weeks in the healing pod; however, even after they got out, their flowers didn’t grow back yet — they were only a small bud. Rosabell locked themself in their room, they took pride in their flowers and it didn’t feel right without them. They didn’t make any tea — which made everyone sad because they knew Rosabell loves making tea and everyone loves their tea — for a few months.
@ectochoir what’s paladinsona week without a little drama? Am I right…? 😜
