>>84777967>orphan - checkA background detail we've never even seen him talk about. Plenty of MCs have been orphans without being angsty.
>clingy due to loneliness - checkWhat, the Pidge thing? The show hasn't been subtle about how much he values his role as a Paladin. Pidge was fucking with that.
If you're talking about Shiro, I don't see it. He just looks out for him since they're obviously friends.
>reserved - checkHe just seems quiet to me. He's fully capable of engaging in casual conversation as we've seen when he talks with Lance and Hunk. He also had no problems revealing to everyone the state he was in after he got booted from the academy. "I was lost" isn't something I see a reserved person revealing so readily to acquaintances.
>hotblooded due to emotional instability - checkSame response as for orphan. It's just a background detail that does not automatically mean the character has angst.
>poor social skills - checkIt could lead to angst but not exactly an angsty characteristic on it's own.
