Now that we have two new ref line ups, allow me to share with y'all some headcanons for some of them!
Rex/Kid Math
Most of our Kid Math takes are based off of FountainPenguin's two Kid Math fics: Factor It In and AlgoRythym. We just love those fics <3
Last name is Pemdas.
Non-binary. Really I just imagine most of the aliens in the show are some flavor of non-binary and Kid Math is no exception.
Autistic and has synesthesia. Same as Becky :) Comes with the territory of being from a subject obsessed planet and gaining superpowers on another world that overstimulates the senses.
His birthday (equivalent on Earth) is Pi day
He is so, so small. 3'7" (or exactly 110 centimeters!) tall. He looks more like he should be in Kindergarten/1st grade than 3rd grade.
More of a Hexagon headcanon than a Kid Math specific one: Hexagon is a very logical planet and as a result, when they do superhero work it's always 1) track down villain 2) get rid of villain 3) day is saved! Wordgirl's way of being a superhero would baffle ANYONE from Hexagon. Kid Math is just a product of his environment.
Mr Big + Leslie
Mr Big is trans.
His orientation is queer because we can't quite pin down what it is but he's definitely not straight.
Stands at 6'5". He's not called "Mr Big " for nothing!
Sees Dr Two-Brains on the weekends ever since their team up in Invasion of the Bunny Lovers. >:3
Leslie is a lesbian. We think she and the Mayor's assistant should kiss but not sure if it's canon to Exploration.
She's only 5'5" but wears 2 inch heels so you can't immediately tell.
Leslie's last name is Little. She's Leslie Little.
Both are in their early/mid 30's. Mr Big is only a couple years older than Leslie.
Granny May
She's been a villain the longest. Being a petty pickpocket since her late teens. Her "career" as a supervillian really took off though when she met her future husband.
Her husband was a man named Walter, who she met after charming her way into some fancy event. She stole his heart and his wallet that night <3
Walter made most of her gadgets that she uses today. Her suit of armor was his wedding present to her.
They got married later than most people from their time. Granny May was very hesitant about marriage at first. Worried it would affect her crime career since she relied mostly on her charm, which works better on suckers men when they think you're single.
Note: I really could go on and on about Granny's past but I'll leave off here because we have a whole episode planned for exploring her past ;)
Granny May has always been very small. In her prime she only stood at 5'1". In her old age she's now only 4'11".
Victoria Best
Dyes her hair. She's a natural brunette but since the rest of her family is blonde it's for the best (heh) that she match her family.
Her eyes are naturally blue but have an unusual red tint to the pupils and iris.
As of Exploration, she's currently taller than Becky at 4'9".
On the aroace spectrum but hasn't figured it out yet. She's the best at ignoring her feelings <3
We have big plans for her :)
Beatrice Bixby/Lady Redundant Woman
In her mid 30's.
Beatrice herself is aroace. Her clones are not. It drives her insane when one of them develops a crush because she doesn't get it.
Her clones are not perfect copies of her. She's had to recall one or two because they refuse to help in her crime sprees.
All her clones are effectively vegetarian because they can only consume ink. Ever since she became Lady Redundant Woman, Beatrice has had to supplement her own diet with ink every now and then. She can just change out her ink cartridge, but it's surprisingly cheaper to just eat ink. Also less of a hassle.
Lady Redundant Woman herself might also just be vegetarian. We haven't figured that out yet.
Tall woman. She stands at 6'1" plus her boots make her appear a couple inches taller. She looks shorter as Beatrice because of her Customer Service Slouch(TM).
She's ambidextrous.
Todd "Scoops" Ming
Hitting him with the trans beam. Came about because of that one episode where, aside from Bob, he was the only boy in the scouts group. We think he joined before he transitioned, and then when he did come out as trans the group wanted him to stay <3 Now he's one of the exceptions because it'd be rude to kick him and also all the other scouts will defend his place with their dying breaths.
Aside from Eugene May (because no one is gonna catch up with him), he's the tallest kid in 7th grade right now at 4'11".
While currently dating Violet, Scoops is bi and has had a couple crushes before Violet. His type seems to be blondes with weird eyes...
ale: we gave him ugly shoes because his top half is the only thing that needs to look presentable.
we obviously also fixed his skintone and haircut. we love you wordgirl, you did this kid so incredibly dirty.
we made his shirt blue because he's a little older now and Raven thought he deserved to have a different shirt.
Violet Heaslip
Her eyes are an unusual pinkish-purple color. Becky and Scoops think it's really cool.
She's currently the same height as Victoria.
Back in 4th grade/beginning of 5th grade she had a crush on Becky. She outgrew it halfway through the school year.
ale: we really just gave her an all-new detailed outfit because, as we realized after we finished her, her outfit is so.... plain for an art kid!
her pockets full of flowers are inspired by a piece of fanart showing the worg kids as elementary schoolers. the doodles on her skirt are inspired by a Dear Evan Hansen lyric.
gets a beret because she's an artist <3
i gave her warmly rainbow socks because i thought they'd look like something i'd see in a Justice as a kid.
TJ Botsford
"TJ" is short for Tim Jr.
His birthday is May 4th.
He's gay but hasn't figured it out yet. Got more important things to worry about such as how to grow the WordGirl Fan Club.
ale: made his skin darker to match with his parents, and his hair darker to match with his skin. and gave him a fade because, like. look at him. he would.
Tim and Sally Botsford (Do not separate <3)
Both are in their late 30's but Sally is older by a couple years.
Tim is just a little taller than average at 5'10", while Sally is close to average height at 5'4", but wears 3 inch heels to give herself that extra height. Makes her a little more intimidating at her job.
They met in college at the ice cream parlor from Whammer Anniversary <3 it was for some get together/study group and the two just clicked.
Their wedding anniversary is October 13th.
Tim is pan.
Tim's family specifically is of Ethiopian descent. It's why his spicier meals pack such a punch.
We mostly just like Sally the way she is <3
As we've mentioned before, Sally is Afro-Latina.
Shown in the episode That's Entertainment, Sally's hair actually becomes poofy and curly when not "blow-dried." Her hair is still like this (it's what inspired us to make her Afro-Latina), but we've decided that her hair becomes straightened through normal straightening means.
ale: made Tim's hair more afro-textured for obvious reasons. also it's canon that it used to look like that. also, he's graying more.
made Tim more brown because we couldn't live with keeping him orange.
i INSISTED that he keep his horrible outfit. everyone watching me draw him hated it, however, he is my "horrible fashion sense" king.
we mostly kept Sally the same, just made her skin more skin-tone like. also, we turned that weird line in her hair into a gray streak, because she's a little older now, and we couldn't figure out why it was there.
