Jayne Cobb: A boulder resting at the base of a mountain, bruised and broken, yet still solid and a fine foothold.

Kaywinnit Frye: A bird in the sky, light and fragile, yet still instinctively singing and batting its wings endlessly.

Hoban Washburn: A burning flame fed by the love of the kindling, yet somber as it offers as warmth and serves as a beacon of hope.

Derrial Book: A quiet storm, having indefinite power, yet serving as a calm for the weak at heart.

Simon Tam: The tranquil ape, alertly watching over its kin, yet tending to others in times of danger.

River Tam: A tempest, chased and hunted by some, yet expressing power and providing all with splendor and hidden wisdom.

Inara Serra: A red rose, jagged at its foundation, yet standing admired and gleaming with lasting beauty.
