First of five Official Firefly / Serenity art by Steve Anderson. Kaylee Frye (Jewel Staite) is one of my FAVORITE characters on tv or film. Any fan of SciFi who hasn't seen Firefly should definitely give it a shot. It is by far one of my favorites of all time!

Kaywinnit Lee "Kaylee" Frye, played by the incredible Jewel Staite, is the ship's mechanic. In the episode "Out of Gas", it is established that she has no formal training, but keeps Serenity running with an intuitive gift for the workings of mechanical equipment. Jewel Staite explains Kaylee's character as being wholesome, sweet, and "completely genuine in that sweetness", adding "She loves being on that ship. She loves all of those people. And she's the only one who loves all of them incredibly genuinely."[6] She has a crush on Dr. Simon Tam. Kaylee's character is the soul of the ship: according to creator Joss Whedon, if Kaylee believes something, it is true.
