In lots of ways, Kara and Lee share many characteristics and details of hard upbringings. In other ways, they couldn't be more different.

But just because I agree with him a lot doesn't mean I think I'm similar to him in personality. I don't see myself in either of them, actually, though I think they're both great.
I like to talk things out. They don't. I am not angry. They are both simmering volcanoes of supressed molten rage. I would never in a million years be happy in the military. I have no desire to fly anything anywhere, and get nervous even behind the wheel of a car. I am a fan of monogamy. I am not ambitious. My life is quite sendentary and it would make absolutely wretched television drama.
When my husband and I were dating, I actually asked him once, "Hey, why can't we be America's Love Story?" And he said, "We would only be the Love Story of the part of America that enjoys watching the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour." So true

Lee.
I overthink and I overthink and I overthink. I'm about fairness and justice and yes, I'll deny myself what I truly want on many occasions. I have massive daddy issues. (lol).
I once read a quote.. I don't buy it fully, because I can think of a ton of cases where it doesn't work... but it applies in this case for me: an OTP is when the character you identify with gets together with the character you wanna do.
*stares at Lee**stares at Kara*

Off the top of my head I would say Lee. Growing up with people watching your actions based on what your parents do, the appreciation of rules and propriety, shoving the deep emotions down, being the responsible one.
But then as I think about it, I tend to respond to things like Kara (although not with the risk taking behavior); putting on that persona, being grounded by faith, running from the emotionally scary.
