Shiro

⦁ Shiro, likes dogs. ⦁ Big dogs. ⦁ Very big dogs. ⦁ Simba is the biggest Great Dane any of the team has ever seen, including in videos. ⦁ He could very likely crush any of them. ⦁ Pidge is. ⦁ Very cautious. ⦁ But Simba is very gentle with everyone. ⦁ He likes to take people’s hands gently in his mouth and lead them to the jar of dog treats that Shiro keeps on the counter by the stove. ⦁ But Shiro doesn’t just like big dogs. ⦁ He also like teeny tiny dogs. ⦁ And so enters Pip. ⦁ Pip is a Pomeranian. ⦁ Simba is Pip’s bodyguard. ⦁ There’s no seeing one dog without the other close behind, or, more likely, seeing Simba and realizing that Pip is hiding under him when she happily yips at you. ⦁ Simba always gives his treat to Pip if you don’t give her one first. ⦁ Chivalry isn’t dead. ⦁ Apart from his dogs, Shiro also has an old cat who’s missing one of his front legs. ⦁ The cat hated him at first so he named him Grumpy. ⦁ Eventually the two find a compromise though. ⦁ Compromise, as in, Shiro feeds Grumpy until Grumpy finally trusts him. ⦁ More often than not, Grumpy is now seen hanging around Shiro’s neck. ⦁ Shiro’s favorite part of the day is falling into bed and having his pets each curl up in their designated spots. ⦁ Pip - On his Chest ⦁ Simba - Over his legs ⦁ Grumpy - Behind his head.

Keith

⦁ Boy is an animal magnet. ⦁ No one knows why, but he attracts at least one animal every time he leaves his place. ⦁ Which means, lots of pets and most of which he has no idea where they came from. ⦁ “Hey Keith, is that a new cat?” ⦁ “Her name is Starburst and she likes candy wrappers.” ⦁ “Where’d she come from, though?” ⦁ “…Outside.” ⦁ “Of course.” ⦁ He doesn’t spoil his pets as much as any of the others, not with stuff at least. ⦁ His pets are all adored though. ⦁ They’re all chipped the moment they decide to stick around because Keith can’t bare the thought of losing any of them. ⦁ All of his pets are suspiciously well behaved. ⦁ Like, even the cats hear Keith say “sit” and they plop down. ⦁ Everyone thinks Keith can communicate with them and even if he assures them it’s not true, ten minutes later he’ll ask a dog (the oldest, Gandolf) to help him clean up the dog toys and he does. ⦁ So either Keith can talk to animals or he’s a witch. ⦁ Again, another ongoing joke. ⦁ All of the pets are named after food and movie/book/comic characters. ⦁ No one is surprised anymore, but they also have no idea how he keeps all the names straight. ⦁ Keith is literally the only person able to keep all his pets’ names straight and everyone else just has to guess fifty percent of the time. ⦁ “That’s not Toast, that’s Cinnamon.” ⦁ “How?” ⦁ He loves his pets a lot and never really pays any mind to comments about having “too many.” ⦁ He keeps them all healthy and happy and that’s all that matters to him. ⦁ Don’t tell anyone, but he attracts them by keeping catnip and dog treats in his pockets. ⦁ No one needs to know that though.

Lance

⦁ Exact opposite of an animal magnet. ⦁ It’s not that they don’t like him, because he is a good person and they can tell. ⦁ They just don’t respect him enough to listen when he tells them not to run off. ⦁ Because any cats he tries to keep scale the fence and any dogs will dig their way out of the yard, he ends up with some pets less likely to run off (normally to join Keith’s hoard). ⦁ First, he ends up with a cockatiel named Casanova. ⦁ Casanova adores Lance. ⦁ But, not as much as he adores women. ⦁ This bird will straight up flirt with any woman that enters his line of sight. ⦁ Allura and Pidge are one hundred percent sure that it’s Lance’s fault, but he didn’t do it! ⦁ The bird was like that when he got him! ⦁ He swears! ⦁ Casanova doesn’t just flirt with human women though! ⦁ He flirts with any girl animal too. ⦁ So, when Lance finally caves and decides to try his hand at keeping a dog and he adopts Annie the dachshund, Casanova is ecstatic! ⦁ Annie and Casanova become quick friends and Lance swears that Casanova is the only reason Annie doesn’t run off. ⦁ He’s not, Annie loves Lance. ⦁ Lance also gets a few fish. ⦁ A betta and some of the more flashy looking ones. ⦁ He names them all after sushi types. ⦁ Casanova like to steal the fish food from the top of the water if Lance forgets to close it after he feeds the fish. ⦁ Casanova also likes to get into Annie’s treats and throw them to her. ⦁ Casanova is a fiend.

Hunk

⦁ He has a huge saint bernard/husky mix named Sugar and a tiny calico cat named Spice. ⦁ Everyone is lowkey terrified of Sugar when they first see her, but the moment she sees them her face just lights up! ⦁ Sugar loves people! ⦁ She’s made slightly scarier by a rough scar across her left eye, but it’s hardly visible once you get used to her presence. ⦁ Everyone quickly realizes that she’s as much of an angel as her owner is. ⦁ There’s a inside joke that Hunk and Sugar are twins. ⦁ When they both get excited at the same time, everyone swears they can hardly tell the difference. ⦁ Spice is a fairly shy cat, but she sticks to Sugar’s side. ⦁ Even though Spice is a sweet cat, people frequently think the opposite on account of the glare she seems to give them when first meeting Sugar. ⦁ Spice is older than Sugar and mothers her despite the size difference. ⦁ Both Sugar and Spice are rescued animals! ⦁ Spice was a street cat before Hunk started feeding her. ⦁ After she slipped into the house without him noticing and he woke to glowing eyes staring at him, he took her to the vet and got all of the necessities needed to give her a life of luxury. ⦁ Sugar was a sickly pup in a pound when Hunk adopted her. ⦁ Her picture was in a paper he just briefly saw and she was scheduled for being put to sleep. ⦁ That was absolutely not happening! ⦁ Sugar thinks that she’s a lap dog and frequently jumps on Hunk’s lap. ⦁ That’s all well and good, the problem arises when she jumps on the laps of people visiting. ⦁ That’s a lot of dog! ⦁ Spice likes to curl up on Hunk’s stomach and abandons her fancy bed the moment the opportunity presents itself. ⦁ Both of Hunk’s pets are spoiled. ⦁ He makes them homemade food. ⦁ They get treats for being cute. ⦁ They probably have their own bank accounts.   ⦁ They’re living a better life than me.

Pidge

⦁ She loves fluffy animals. ⦁ Big, small, doesn’t matter. ⦁ She wants pets soft enough to use as pillows. ⦁ Not that she uses them as pillows, but she just really loves fluffy animals, alright? ⦁ She has a trio of bunnies, June, July, and August, who behave more like dogs than bunnies. ⦁ They behave like dogs because Darcy, Pidge’s chow-mix, took in the little buns when their mother got attacked by a neighborhood stray. ⦁ Darcy had lost a few of her own pups before this incident and Pidge awoke one day to find that two babies had turned to five. ⦁ Darcy is very protective of her family, and that includes Pidge. ⦁ She may seem like a sweetheart, but she won’t stand for anything happening to her person or her babies. ⦁ In the spirit of keeping all the babies name’s matching, the pups are named April and May. ⦁ As the babies get older, momma Darcy and Pidge have to make sure the puppies don’t get too rough with the bunnies. ⦁ Fortunately, the pups father was a fairly small mutt, and they take after him. ⦁ (Their father probably stuck around until Keith came for a visit and then followed him home.) ⦁ (You’re not fooling her, Keith, she knows you carry dog treats.) ⦁ (If you try to take any more of her dogs she’s going to rat you out.) ⦁ Pidge is the kind of person who takes in any injured animal she comes across too, but they tend to be wild birds, so they get released as soon as they’re better. ⦁ She has an army of crows. ⦁ The only animals Keith won’t even try to bribe love out of.

Allura

⦁ She has her mice, a white cat named Boo, and two white budgies named Bippity and Boppity. ⦁ Bippity, Boppity, and Boo were a package deal. ⦁ Their owner couldn’t care for them anymore and Allura quickly took the opportunity to add the three to her home. ⦁ Boo was raised indoors and, despite her fears, has adapted to being a perch for the birds and a moving playground for the mice. ⦁ Bippity and Boppity will repeat “pretty bird, pretty bird,” every morning until Allura acknowledges them. ⦁ The birds enjoy sitting in Allura’s hair too! ⦁ Boppity likes to tease Boo. ⦁ She also likes to tease anyone new who enters the house. ⦁ She has pooped in Lance’s hair and no one will let him forget. ⦁ He’s entirely sure that the bird has a vendetta against him. ⦁ Meanwhile, Bippity is a sweetheart to absolutely anyone! ⦁ If anyone whistles her a tune, she repeats it in kind, adding in little hops and head bobs. ⦁ Any first meeting with Bippity is filled with “kiss, kiss"es and "muah"s. ⦁ Boo frequently grooms the mice and curls around them when she finds them sleeping. ⦁ Most of the time, the mice sleep in Boo’s fur, however, so she never has to search for them. ⦁ Her pets are moderately spoiled. ⦁ Bippity and Boppity have an extra large bird cage, segmented and placed so one side is covered and shaded and the other is directly by a window. ⦁ Boo has a high quality cat bed, the best food and treats recommended by vets, a fancy litter box, and a large cat tree directly in front of a window. ⦁ All of the animals have more toys than they know what to do with. ⦁ Frequently, Allura will curl up on the sofa beside the bird cage after a long day and Boo and her mice will join for a family nap.

Coran

⦁ Of course he has a schnauzer. ⦁ That’s canon by now, right? ⦁ ANYWAY. ⦁ Sir. Bruce is a fairly old dog that Coran was gifted by the team. ⦁ He adores Bruce with everything he has. ⦁ Everyone assumes that Coran can speak to animals too. ⦁ Not all animals, like they assume with Keith, but his pets in particular. ⦁ After Coran discovers the joy of having a dog, he’s obsessed with them. ⦁ He ends up with five dogs. ⦁ The first dog he adopts himself is a tiny Yorkie pup named Patty. ⦁ Then come Scottie and Sarah the Beagles. ⦁ Finally, he adopts another schnauzer named Patricia. ⦁ (He doesn’t understand why everyone loses it when he yells “Patricia!”) ⦁ Patricia is a troublemaker, but she’s incidentally also the one with the best puppy-dog eyes. ⦁ Scottie trips over his ears all the time, so Coran uses hair ties to keep his ears up. ⦁ Patty is always tripping Bruce by getting in front of him, and, as the runt of both her famly and her litter, he doesn’t see her when he’s in a hurry. ⦁ Sir. Bruce and Patty are the best of friends, though. ⦁ Sarah is the the angel of the group. ⦁ No one ever hears her bark or growl, and she never makes a mess. ⦁ That is, that visitors see. ⦁ She will look Coran straight in the eyes and knock over the water bowls. ⦁ Yes, plural. ⦁ She loves knocking over the water bowls and Coran does not know why. ⦁ He loves his dogs too much to stay angry for too long.

Lotor

⦁ This man is extra. ⦁ He couldn’t settle for simple house pets, oh no, this man had to get a horse. ⦁ His horse loves him so much though. ⦁ Obsidian is a pure black Friesian horse. ⦁ Everyone thinks she’s gorgeous (because she is) but they love her even more because she’s an absolute sweetheart. ⦁ God help anyone who tries to ride her though. ⦁ No one has and no one will. ⦁ Lotor doesn’t see the point in riding a horse, so she’s just a really big pet. ⦁ He’d probably let her in his house if he could, to be honest. ⦁ Because Lotor is Extra, he also has two purebred cats. ⦁ An Abyssinian cat and a Bengal. ⦁ Both of the cats are spoiled rotten. ⦁ They’re absolute drama queens and no one can even lightly brush against them by accident without the cats acting like they were attacked. ⦁ Even Lotor gets this treatment. ⦁ He’s not quite a cat dad, but he’s toeing the line. ⦁ There is video evidence of Lotor baby talking the cats and it’s being held as blackmail material.

Matt

⦁ BIRDS. ⦁ He loves birds. ⦁ Going into his house is like going into a bird house in a zoo. ⦁ He has five finches. ⦁ He takes inspiration from the names Pidge gives her pets and names the finches after the days of the week. ⦁ But he doesn’t stop there. ⦁ He gets a parakeet - Keaton - and an African gray parrot - Sunshine. ⦁ Every time someone new enters his house he holds out his arms and six birds land on them. ⦁ Sunshine lands on his head. ⦁ I feel like, after awhile he decides to get a more furry pet and settles on getting a pair of chinchillas. ⦁ They’re too cute for anyone to resist, so anyone who would avoid his place for fear of getting pooped on by the birds (Lance) bypasses the fear to see the precious balls of pure fluff. ⦁ He names them Pom and Poof. ⦁ He has perches everywhere in his house, it’s actually ridiculous. ⦁ Honestly, the definition of a pet parent. ⦁ He calls the birds and chinchillas his kids and refers to himself as their dad. ⦁ Did you know birds could be spoiled? ⦁ They can and Matt sets a standard for spoiling every animal. ⦁ Sunshine is a toublemaker and everyone knows it except Matt. ⦁ And, yes, Sunshine poops on Lance the first time he stays in the house for over ten minutes. ⦁ His fears were valid.
