PLAYER NAME: Alison CHARACTER NAME: Keith CANON: Voltron: Legendary Defender CURRENT CANON POINT: End of S6 (6x7) UPDATED CANON POINT: 8x10 BACKGROUND:Episode summaries. Let me know if you need anything else! HOW WILL THIS IMPACT YOUR CHARACTER? For the most part, Keith will be far more experienced as a leader. At the beginning of S7, he deals with the fallout of having left his team, as well as having to step into the role and understand how to manage it. He even asks Shiro at one point how he's done it, and Shiro's answer nudges Keith toward knowing that he can fully rely on the other paladins.
Throughout S7, we see Keith's maturity and empathy really play out. He doesn't turn his back on a teammate when he's showing sadness, and he also shows empathy toward an Admiral who betrayed basically everyone because she thought she was doing the right thing. He's determined and unfailing in everything he does, keeping a clear head to keep the team moving forward.
That's not to say he's flawless when it comes to leading. Keith comes to understand that he's better at leading a smaller group rather than a larger one, and he works in tandem with Shiro when he becomes the leader of the Atlas. When needed, he still feels confident enough to lead his team off on his own during S8, but keeps the others in check to try to keep them from being rash.
Coming from 8x10, Keith will be a lot more likely to examine his rashness and the lengths he feels are necessary to pull something off. Though he defends his decisions, Keith is willing to relent in the following episode when told to slow down and process what's going on. It shows a willingness to open his mind and hear others out, as well as keep people from going to potentially dangerous lengths. 8x10 ends with Allura in a coma, after all.
Other than this, Keith is more and more aware of how his decisions impact other people. He's had to see this many times over throughout the course of S7 and S8, so he'll be much more conscientious of this. He's also much more aware of how to give pep talks and reach out to friends. That doesn't make him less awkward, but he verbalizes the things he usually articulates through doing for people, which is a huge step for him when it comes to interpersonal skills. This change will be demonstrative of how conscious of how Keith is with other people, and how he's willing to push himself out of his comfort zone if he cares for someone.
Physically, Keith's hair will return to its long length, where it's nearly hitting his shoulders. (By S8, he's referred to as "the long-haired one.") He'll have a bunch of new scars on his body because he nearly died at the end of S7. It seems that he was the last of the paladins to wake after that final battle.
