I am the attack dog. No one crosses me or my friends because they know that to do so means pain, and pain is scary. I am extremely loyal to said friends. Almost to a fault, but my loyalty actually has cost me a relationship. River beats out Mal mainly because I talk to myself alot and tend to do crazy things that no one sees a reason but myself. But when needs be I can really take charge. Sadly. and against my will. Responsibility...don't want it.

Maybe this is why I love it so much. I see so much of myself in these people, and they have human failures, just like me. They ain't perfect, and that is perfectly fine by me.

You know, they tell ya to never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is, on occasion, hilarious.

WOW, GOOD

ANSWER! All I can say is DITTO.

I relate mostly to Simon as well. Work, the general stuffiness, the bashfulness. Yeah, I'm mostly Simon :P

I don't think I've responded on this thread - if I have I missed it so...

Kaylee! The moment I 'met' her in the cargo hold on Serenity I knew we were kindred spirits. She dares to be friendly, opomistic and find the best in people and situations which is what i try to dare to do everyday - and most of the time it comes naturally... just sometimes it's a strain...

what a great thread. can't believe i've missed it before. actually, i relate best to the commander of the alliance cruiser in bushwhacked. i know that will generate some hate. hear me out. he's doin his job, and under the circumstances, how can he expect to know otherwise. he wants to protect his crew and their families (doesn't care what the alliance has with the siblings and when the killing happens, he puts guards at the nursery). and in the end, even Mal agrees, can't let them profit. Mal does the right thing and helps the Alliance crew out by killing the crazy nut. The commander does right and lets them go. he didn't have to. he has his own code that he tries to live by. i respect that. he does what's right. i also relate to the sheriff on the train job. fair and what you would hope for in law enforcement.

he makes everybody cry, he's like a monster

I feel like I relate to Simon. This is because he is highly intelligent and he is always around people who aren't near as smart as he his ... I work in a call centre ... you fill in the gap there :P. Also he is out of place. My new home is 2,000 miles from my old one and even though I have been here for 4 years I still feel like an outsider here at times. Also his caring for River and his distance from his folks; my sister was my guardian when I was 15 (9 years ago) and I am just as distant from my folks. Mind you that is more so towards river but more Simon than anyone else.

I too join the 'I relate to Simon' bandwagon.

Smart? 'A' student, I've been told I'm gifted. Common sense when I talk in general conversation? It sometimes eludes me. Fumbling idiot when approached by guys? (as I am a chica) YES.

When he recited that little fact about the Eygptians... yeah I sometimes do that too.

I also tend to understand him because he's somewhat introverted and out of place which is me in the real world. I also get the bond between him and River and his protectiveness of her. I have a young brother, and while I doubt I will ever rescue his genius self (He's sorta like River, #1 in his classes, pianist, brat, and sometimes I think he's insane ) from the government, I care about him tons and we have that deep sibling relationship thing going on.

Jayne, even though he's pretty much the opposite to me (In personality, I feel I'm probably somewhat 80% Wash 20% Simon).

I suppose he represents the assertiveness I wish I had.

River or Simon definately...probably River. Aside from the gender difference, we're both way smart (ok simon is too), we both are weird and isolated sometimes, we can both kick butt sometimes :P

What a great thread! I think the beautiful thing about Firefly is that I can relate to something in each of our crew. I believe there is a little bit of Mal- that fight for freedom and the responsibility for his crew. Inara- keeping a part of myself at a distance, and the secret love of my heart stays there and is never spoken of ( and of course sharing her love of Mal) , Book- my faith has changd my life, Zoe- there is a little bit of a warrior woman in me, hidden somewhere deep down that I summon in times of need and action, Simon- shy, soft spoken but with a sharp mind and dedication to family that surpasses and overcomes great obstacles, Wash- the fun loving, goofy, big hearted side of me, River- when I feel that the world hasn't caught up with me, that no one could understand what goes on in my head, that I have vast potential waiting to be tapped and used for the benefit of others to utilize hidden gifts, and Jaayne, well I like Jayne the fact that he is absolutely sure of who he is if not whose side he is on, and that he is a good guy to have on your side in a fight, I'm sure there is some of him in here too, hmmm might have to dig to find it though.

But the one I would relate most to is Kaylee- sweet caring, loving Kaylee. I am closest in age to Kaylee (me being 23) and I just felt a kind of kin-ship, kindred feeling to Kaylee right away. I loved how cheery and caring she is. I can relate to that even if I'm not as cheery all the time as Kaylee is. I can also relate to her wanting everyone to be good and trustworthy and how she looks for the best in people, even though it may seem like naivete I think it just makes her who she is. I'm not as amorous as Kaylee but hey a girl can dream can't she? Especially about Simon Tam. Hmmm I like how Kaylee is looked after by Mal and there is a little sister/ brother vibe between them, (Although in my case there wouldn't be a sibling type relationship going on with Mal.)

I like how Kaylee makes them all family eveh though they are in this battered ship out in the Black. I guess we Browncoats are like that, a kind of extended family sticking together out in the world, hanging on to the thoughts and feelings and adventures of a rag-tag crew sailing the sky in a Firefly.

Once you've been in Serenity you never leave. You find a way to live in it.

Mal.

I've lost my faith in both God and man. I let few people into my heart to see the real me, and I'm fiercely protective of those I consider family. Although I have no military experience, people often assume that I have. I'm comfortable with guns, but not excitable as to choice. I'm a pragmatist and a libertarian - I do what needs doing, one obstacle at a time.

Oh, and I'm also too damn good looking to die.
