Question Meme Answer #7

My final December question....

newnumbertwo asked: What is it about Kara that speaks the most to you?

I answered this in the comments section of the original post, and I was going to expand on that answer, but I've run out of
time for December.

At the very core of it, it's that she's damaged, but hasn't let it stop her. I guess I identify with the scrappy survivor in her.
She bends but doesn't break. At least not for long.

She doesn't love easily, but when she does, she doesn't hold back. She's all in, even if she thinks/knows going in that it's
going to hurt. In fact, I think that Kara believes love has to hurt, and she does it anyway. She doesn't necessarily call it love,
and might deck someone for pointing it out, but she loves hard and deeply.

She's afraid of a lot of things, including her feelings, but she's not afraid of herself.

There's something inside her that pushes her to be better than yesterday, better than an hour ago. She's never satisfied
with good enough, never believes she is good enough, and this a trait that frequently is more bad than good. Sometimes
good enough should be good enough.

She's strong and smart and sexy and has a wicked sense of humor.

Aside from everything else, Kara Thrace is only the Kara Thrace I love because of Katee Sackhoff, so, there's that.
