A Trait which all Kerbals Share

No, not really. Derpiness as in retardation (for the mods - ......: a slowness or limitation in intellectual understanding and awareness, emotional development, academic progress, etc.).

Again, a trait which all Kerbals share. Except some of them are geniuses in their specific area of research. For instance, even Bill, who's so stupid he just keeps walking into walls and doesn't quite understand why he stopped moving forwards, he's great at engineering. But Bob is a genius. He knows how to use beakers and science instruments and he can even figure out why walls stop him! But when you try and pit him against trees, he'll run away screaming that "we've been invaded!!!" Jeb meanwhile is truly badS at piloting, flying, jetpacking, fighting, and being a badass, but he really can not see danger when danger is obvious. A rocket with moar boosters but no struts? He's the first one aboard!

Jeb is derpy in intellectual understanding.

Bill is derpy in awareness.

Bob is derpy in emotional development.

Valentina therefore is probably derpy in academic progress.

Valentina knows things. She knows how to tie a shoe, for instance, something that has baffled every single Kerbal engineer and scientist that she's met. She knows how to fold that one really really cool paper airplane that flies really far. She knows how to catch and fry a candied cockroach with her bare hands (and a grill). But she doesn't know what F=M/A or E=MC^2 means. She never paid attention. She can fly a rocket into space just as you tell her, fly it back down, and she'll know how orbital mechanics works intuitively. But, she still has no idea what delta-v means, or any of the math behind orbits whatsoever.

My guess for Val's stats:

BadS=True

Courage=70%

Stupidity=50%

Profession=Pilot
