Ship: aboard a Firefly named Serenity

History:
Kaywinnit Lee "Kaylee" Frye is about as nice as they come, especially on Serenity. Kaylee has exceptional mechanical aptitude, despite her lack of formal training, and serves as ship's mechanic on Serenity. Kaylee is considered by the crew to be exceptionally sweet and chipper, the type who maintains a bright and positive attitude even when others are feeling low. It has been said that she wears her heart on her sleeve. Kaylee is rarely seen without a smile. She's obviously the youngest crew member on board, but that does not limit her abilities. Her personality annoys a few crew members, mostly Jayne. Kaylee is a tomboy and can make the periodical illegal behavior of the crew sound adorable and fuzzy. Kaylee's definitely not known for her ability with a gun, as fighting tends to make her nervous and scared. Kaylee has shown an affinity for strawberries. Despite her mechanical aptitude which allows Kaylee to fix just about anything, she has a desire for girlish things and is annoyed when Mal does not see that she is a woman as well as a mechanic; such as when he criticized her desire to purchase an elaborate dress on the grounds that she would have no opportunity to wear it in her job.
Kaylee is the ship's mechanic, and has been for quite a long time. Kaylee joined the crew in an odd way. The ship's captain, Malcolm Reynolds, interrupted her and Bester, the ship's mechanic at the time, having sex in Serenity's engine room. However, when Bester incorrectly informed Mal that the ship could not be fixed, Kaylee quickly proved him wrong by diagnosing the problem and repairing the grounded Serenity. Bester had been around Firefly's before, and Kaylee hadn't; yet Kaylee was able to fix the engine very quickly and professionally. Impressed with her mechanical ability, Mal immediately offered her Bester's job. Kaylee happily accepted and left her family (and Bester) behind to join the crew.
Kaylee has a deep love for Serenity. She's been around it long enough, and she knows how to make the ship work well. She's loved Serenity since she first saw it. She has a natural gift with mechanics, as her dad told her; and Serenity talks to her in a way, informing her of when she's hurtin'.
Kaylee has her own quarters on ship (decorated with Christmas lights and the like; her name is painted on the doorway with flowers), but she also has a hammock set up in the engine room and often can be found there working or communing with Serenity, which she treats like another member of the crew. Kaylee had at least a minor role in the decor of the dining area. Amidst the yellows and browns are flowers painted on the walls in the same style that Kaylee painted on her door.
On the ship, she is oftentimes seen in a brother-sister relationship with Mal. He calls her meimei on many occasions. She comments how she ‘loves her captain’ and often times they tease each other. She also has been known to call him out. (She seems to get away with it as well.) Besides for being close to the Captain her other good friend is Inara. She loves to hang out and look at all of her shiny things...and get her hair brushed. She loves Inara like a big sister just as she loves Mal as a big brother.
When Kaylee is shot in the stomach, Simon Tam uses her injury as a bargaining chip to be allowed to remain on Serenity with his sister, River. Jayne Cobb would embarrass her in this and later episodes by making fun of her attraction to Simon, usually right in front of Simon. It is often his 'proper' attitude that prevents the two of them from ever engaging in a more meaningful relationship, or his dedication to protecting his sister. The problem is compounded by the fact that he sometimes makes comments that hurt Kaylee's feelings, insulting the lifestyle of the crew, Serenity, and even herself, though he never intentionally means to insult her; a good example would be when he described her as 'the only girl in the world', on the grounds that all the other women he knew were either married (Zoe), professional (Inara) or related to him (River).
Kaylee tries to hide her feelings towards Simon, but never is capable of doing so. Inara knows exactly what she feels as soon as she feels it. The two have moments where they might kiss or go beyond that, but there's either an interruption or a stupid line on Simon's part.
