What makes the characters in Firefly tick?

The series finished before it got going, leaving a huge hole in what we know and understand about them. So there must be some good theories about them, so let's have some thoughts?

Let us have a go at Inara here?

Think I could be a little controversial here.

I think Inara is of very little interest. What interest there is is in her profession, which could be likened to a westernised Geisha Girl. Yes it is a well respected profession in Japan.
She provides the shows T&A when not being demonstrated by Zoe and Wash and a few comic romantic interludes and space fillers.

As such she has not been as well developed as the rest of the crew?

I liked Inara. She was a person of equals and opposites. On the one hand, she was (as Mal so eloquently puts it) a whore. Yet she seemed to have a very deep morality and to a certain extent, if the series had been allowed to continue, i think that she would have turned into the crew's conscience. On the other hand, she's a very elegant, very classy woman. Educated, refined and able to deal with the Upper classes on their own level. Something with which the others couldn't do and to which some people would argue made her of more worth than a rather crass and common crew.
