O'Brien at 81%, Kira, Bashir, and Jake Sisko at 75%, the others all much lower. The spelling errors made me want to cringe.
As a kid, I admired and identified with Jadzia Dax (I only saw the first three seasons at the time), but as an adult, and after seeing all the seasons, I identify with and admire Kira the most. (I think Jadzia was flighty. I don't remember who said it, but someone here on the BBS described her as a "Klingon Party Girl". I think that's apt.)
The spelling errors are really grating, but other than that, this is by far the best of 'which DS9 character are you' quizes I've seen.
I had the opposite reaction to Jadzia. When I first watched DS9 several years ago (and just the first 3 seasons as well) I didn't pay attention to her and thought she was boring. When I watched it again, I started slowly appreciating Jadzia more, especially in season 4 and 5, her cool, relaxed strength, humor, open-minded views and lust for life. She is like a counterpart to Kira in a way, the two of them made a good double act with their conversations and their friendship (that's something that was not replicated with Ezri).
But Kira has always been the one I loved and identified most with. She especially reminds me of a younger me, the way I was in my early 20s and especially as a teenager - a passionate, opinionated, uncompromising person who'd rather break than bend and could occasionally allienate people that way, with a lot of anger and very strong views what life should be like... Nowadays I am... well, hmm, maybe not that different but more relaxed and at ease and more inclined to take life as it comes, and able to admit some things about myself that I wouldn't have been back then. I never could understand why some people hate Kira, but now when I think about it, it makes sense that she is the kind of character that people love or hate, and I can see that her attitude can allienate some people, or that they find her too aggressive... I just never felt that way, firstly, because having lead the life she did, she had damn good reasons to be angry, and she must have been traumtized by her past, having lived with violence and being part of it herself since such a young age, and secondly, because I always saw a vulnerability behind that and a softer, caring side, that gradually became more obvious throughout the show. And in her journey in the show, she had to walk a tight rope between learning to change and let go off some of her old views and realizing that life was more complex and things were not as simple as 'us vs them, fight the bad guys'; and at the same time not losing her edge and her principles and integrity. There were times when I was upset by her attitude - like at the end of "The Darkness and the Light"... But I feel that at times she would use the attitude as a shield so she wouldn't question herself, and maybe face some disturbing thoughts, or admit her vulnerabilities. Like in "Ties of Blood and Water"... we are made to think that she is being unforgiving and prejudiced, but in fact she can't admit that she is scared to watch someone she loves dying.
Thot Mog, what have you been up to?
