29 Days of Star Trek Meme - Day 2 - Who is your favorite character?
I've gone with one from each series.
TOS: Spock. Oh so much Spock. Because how could you not love him? He's brave and noble and clever and cares ever so much more than he will ever let on. I grew up wanting to be Spock. I am still working on it.
TNG: Data. Because he is not a toaster and he is trying ever so hard to be something beyond what he was programmed to be.
DS9: Major Kira. How can you not love the Major? She's fierce and angry and righteous but she's willing to try to change, and move beyond that. Despite all the weird things that happen to the story afterwards, that's why the Ziyal arc is so important, as is Kira being on Cardassia at the end of the series.
Voyager: Neelix. I get very angry when people say he's comic relief. Because he's not. He's a genocide survivor who, to save the woman he loves, fools an entire starship. He's gone through enough that no-one would blame him for becoming mean and grim, but he doesn't, he's kind and helpful and lovely.
Enterprise: Which I've seen less of than the others, but I do have a huge soft spot for Dr. Phlox. Because, I just like the idea of someone going, 'ooh human medicine, that sounds interesting' and following their interests, even if it leads into space and danger.
(To no-one's great surprise, this list basically reads 'scientists - yay!')
