Okay so mine is not based on canon but how I would choose to characterise them
Pidge is in a team of mostly sincere masking bitches and she cannot hack it at all she needs more irony poisoned people around her (she really doesn’t)
and here’s the blank chart if you disagreed with these, cause I understand people may have different rulings on this (and also my own are subject to change):

Image one: The Bad Kids and The Rat Grinders square up in the middle of the school cafeteria. Above their heads is written, "The Bad Kids vs The Rat Grinders."
Image two: From left to right - Adaine readies her magically glowing hand, Gorgug cracks his knuckles, Fig pages Colin Counterspell on her earpiece, Riz hisses, and Fabian steadies Kristen as she smirks down at Kipperlilly.
Image three: From left to right - Kipperlilly glares up at Kristen, Bobby looks on worriedly, Oisin has a hand on Kipperlilly's shoulder as he tries to intervene, Mary Anne has a deadpan stare, Ruben poses moodily, and Ivy smirks behind Oisin.
Because I'm super about there being more in depth conflict and difference to explore between Hunk and Pidge and since @alluraaaa 's post about the fact that Hunk is the sort of person to have this inner world of thoughts, to be short tempered and sometimes mean and it contradicts his internal morals too so he puts up this face of how he's supposed to act and talk to people it's got me thinking about how this conflicts with Pidge.... (and a potential arc for growth between them)
Pidge strikes me as the opposite to Hunk in this regard. She has absolutely no need to have a conflict of internal morals vs internal thoughts because for her they don't conflict, she says what she thinks when she thinks it and frankly doesn't see why that should ever be a problem because she's "right anyway", and this must frustrate the hell out of Hunk, cause NO! Absolutely not! This goes against how he views the way you should interact with people.
But as far as Pidge is concerned, the way Hunk goes about things is more dishonest to who he is. Why shouldn't he be annoyed when people are being stupid? Why shouldn't he just be blunt when he's right?
Meanwhile Hunk needs Pidge to understand more about tact, how sometimes compromise or putting on a face or working against his instinct can sometimes be a good thing
Resulting in a arc where Pidge tries her damndest to annoy Hunk into expressing to her that he is annoyed and push him to see the benefits of just being more blunt occasionally and along side it where Hunk implores her to see the benefits of looking for the emotional context or nuances in situations, and giving people grace even when they annoy the absolute shit out of you and them both learning from each other about this.
(alternatively an arc between two opposite depictions of autistic people trying to understand the others autism - masker vs nonmasker)
hunk is extremely judgemental and condescending on the inside. but also believes in kindness and knows that the things about someone that annoys him aren’t morally wrong so he’s not gonna comment on it. someone’s intelligence has no baring on their character BUT this person is stupid and it’s pissing hunk off. he’s gonna keep his mouth shut tho. this is one of the many things that make him perfect
