Yeah I was initially thinking Sigrun for the black lion because she was kind of the leader (and then laughed at the chaos that would ensue) except I wouldn't have a clue where to start with the whole Kerberos backstory. But ssss Sigrun does bang her arm up a lot, so at least with a Shiro arm she could punch... more things... all the things, just because she could, probably. I did have a sketch of a Shiro Sigrun but it was way to wonky to share. u_u
I agree with Tuuri as Pidge....but does this mean that.... Onni would be the Matt equivalent? ;__; *cries tears forever*
One thing that I thought about- which kinda delves into crack territory- was Reynir as Allura, and only because of the sudden appearance from tuna crate/ cryo pod similarities X'D in which case if Emil was the blue paladin then would the crate-slam on pg286 thing still be viable?
Yeah Onni is the Matt equivalent. Heck, Tuuri even gets to cut her hair short too! Though she would not pass off as a boy quite as easily.
As for Sigrun/Shiro, she got captured by the Galra/Plague while out on an expedition. The team mage was also captured. Unlike them though, she was cool and badass and really impressed some of the upper echelons. Hence robo-arm. She eventually manages to escape.
And I do love the idea of princess Reynir.
Coran can be... who knows.
So final tally:
Lalli - Keith
Emil - Lance
Tuuri - Pidge
Mikkel - Hunk
Sigrun - Shiro
Reynir - Allura
Together they form the ultimate cat-tank, VOLTRON.
