□ Name: Kaywinnet Lee (Kaylee) Frye
□ Journal: gotanaturaltalent
□ Series: Firefly
□ Canon point: end of series (post-Objects in Space)
□ History: http://firefly.wikia.com/wiki/Kaywinnet_Lee_Frye
□ Personality:
Kaylee is the heart and soul of Serenity’s crew. Perpetually cheery and bubbly, it takes something very serious for her to lose her smile. Her captain once said of her, “I don’t believe there is a power in the ‘verse can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just want to duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.” To which she replied, “I love my cap’n,” thereby somewhat proving his point.

Her cheerfulness is not boundless, however. She can be serious when necessary, and while she tends toward optimism and likes to believe the best of those around her, she can admit when a situation is beyond her power to fix. She has an affinity for engines that makes keeping Serenity in the air usually easy for her, but she will admit her frustration when the crew’s limited budget keeps her from being able to keep the ship in the condition she’d like it to be in.

She can become grumbly or emotional when frustrated or when things are not going her way. When Jayne humiliates her by calling attention to her attraction to Simon in the middle of a ship-wide dinner, she nearly breaks into tears. When Simon is unintentionally rude to her (one of many times), she storms out on him, even going so far as to hold a grudge for a few days. When the girls at a fancy ball she goes to make fun of her dress, she is visibly shaken by their unfriendliness.

When it comes to sex, she is quite open and frank. It’s clearly something she enjoys and doesn’t get as often as she’d like. While she’s completely enamored of Simon, she doesn’t seem to see him as her only possibly source of sexual satisfaction. She laments not having anything “twixt [her] nethers weren’t run on batteries” in over a year, and vocally wonders whether a brothel they’re protecting serves women. She’s not beyond wishing the ship’s Companion good sex as she heads off to meet a client, and doesn’t seem to think she should feel awkward about this.

Kaylee trusts the people in her life implicitly. She believes that Mal is the best possible captain, that Zoe can keep them all safe, that there is no better pilot than Wash, that Jayne intimidates better than anyone else she knows, and that Simon is the most talented physician in the ‘verse. Her faith is not unshakeable, though. While she considers River a close friend, and lets herself be free and youthful with the girl, her trust is shaken when River systematically takes out three of Niska’s men in three shots without even looking, and she ends up somewhat frightened of her.

She has a forgiving nature, though, and honestly wants to believe the best in people whenever possible. This is why she gives Simon so many chances even after he blows them all and why she still trusts (and even likes) Jayne when he is so often just terrible to her. It’s also why she would follow Mal anywhere even though he can be cruel and cold to her from time to time.

She loves her crew like her family, and she would do just about anything for any of them. Try as she might, she cannot hide her emotions or her affection for the people in her life. She basically wears her heart on her sleeve.

□ Age: 21
□ Gender: female
□ Appearance: 5’5, reddish brown hair, hazel eyes, big smile, petite. she has a scar on the lower right side of her abdomen from a bullet wound. Though she can usually be found in some version of coveralls, she also tends to wear floral, feminine tops with them, and loves frilly clothes, though she rarely has occasion to wear them.
□ Abilities/Powers: Nothing magical/supernatural, but she does have a serious affinity for engines. She can almost instinctively tell what’s wrong and how to fix it. She speaks a little Mandarin, and it peppers her conversation, mostly profanities and insults.

[What's visible on the screen is a fairly standard room, obviously one of the level one apartments and with no personalizations made as yet. Kaylee isn't used to how this whole 'chip in your head' network thing goes as yet, so she doesn't think to look in a mirror.]

Hello? Ain't sure how you tell if this thing's transmittin' or not.

Anyway, I'm Kaylee Frye. Hi!

[Her hand comes up, waving, and her smile is evident in her voice.]

Just got here, myself. Not quite sure where this is, but I figure that don't make no difference right now. I suppose I oughta be lookin' for work? And for my crew. Reckon if I'm here, they can't be far behind.

Anyone know a Mal Reynolds? If you met him, you'd likely remember. He ain't the best at blendin' in always. Or anyone else from Serenity?

If you're there, let me know, will ya? It's kinda lonely in this apartment by myself.

And if you're not from Serenity, well, I guess it don't ever hurt to make new friends.
