How did you discover Serenity Verse? I created this place
Do you have any other characters here? So far, just this one
Character Info
Name River Tam
Age 16
Gender Female
Alignment (Alliance, Browncoat, etc) I'd say Browncoat but she does tend to march to the beat of her own drum
Personality (At least one decent paragraph, please)
River is a genius. There isn't anything she can't seem to do better than everyone. She's a bit of a brat. She's quiet but thats only because she's scoping things out. She's loyal to her brother, Simon as well as Captain Reynolds, and Kaylee Frye.

History (things we need to know about you. Please try to get in 3-5 paragraphs)
River was born to affluent parents on the Core planet of Osiris. The second child of Gabriel and Regan Tam, River has always shown herself to be "special". At the tender age of three she began to correct her older brother's spelling errors. She is a quick study and retains most of what she learns. by the time she was 14 she had already surpassed her peers in school and often complained she was "bored" with things.
She and her parents sought out special schools for gifted children, finally coming upon an Alliance funded Academy. River was excited to go, even though she would be separated from her family. She was in this special school for a few months before things started to get scary for her. The school was nothing more than a facility used by the Alliance to exploit those "special young people" and modify them to make them the perfect weapon.
River was frightened and she tried her best to get out. Her parents were blind to what was going on but her brother, Simon saw through her coded letters and realized that she was in trouble. He used all his money to find a way to free her, finally doing so at great risk to both himself and River. River was placed in Cryo and shipped offworld, her brother caring for her all the way.
When River woke next, she was in the cargo bay of a strange ship... and she was naked. She was frightened and confused. Simon was there and many others were staring at her. It would take a while for Serenity to feel like home, but eventualy it did. She had a new family, a new life and a new sense of purpose.
Sample post (for Canon Applications only)
River sat on the upper catwalk in Serenity's cargo bay. Her slender legs swung easily, as if blown by a breeze. She leaned her tiny frame over a rail to watch Jayne lift his weights as Shepherd Book read his bible and Captain Mal hid some illegal contraband in one of the ship's many secret hiding places.
"Mei mei, you OK?' came the sweet, sultry voice of Inara, the ship's resident Companion. River turned her face upward to look at the older woman.
"OK. most of the time." River replied. Glancing down at the crew she commented "Everyone is busy. Like bees. Buzzing around. They work because they have to, not because they like to. Buzz buzz buzz all day long." she slid her legs up onto the catwalk and stood to face Inara. "We're going back to Persephone." she said, as if she had heard an unspoken question. Inara nodded.
River looked over the edge of the railing and sighed. "Buzzing bees.. Not really." and without another word, she walked away.
