Does anyone else picture Folly as...

This was my first thought as well, but then Ive been subconsciously measuring each new character against the Serenity Crew-members from the get-go. Still no Doctor, and we have a Scotty instead of a Caylee
(Im only about half-way through. Damn you Real World and your constant demands that I keep Adulting!)
WonderandAwe:
Captain Grimm reminds me more of Captain Lawrence from the Temeraire Series by Naomi Novik than Mal.
Dina:
I have barely began the book (and so far I am loving it) so I will stay away of this spoiler section, but as I've seen the name of this thread, I needed to come to say (click to show/hide)Delirium. Totally, she is Delirium from the Endless
Oh, I'll drop a few early reactions here. I don't need them answered because I will read the book, I just wanted to say my initial wonderings.
(click to show/hide)Again, I hate that JB reused Margaret LeFay name.
Is JB doing the Fairy Tail story of the disappearing Edolas cats?
Is Grimm gay? It would be interesting but it would ruin some of my fantasies :P

Im not done yet either, but there is a particular character that makes me believe the answer is No. It doesnt preclude him being undiscriminating in the style of Captain Jack Harkness (Dr Who), though

Yeah, Mal is somewhat less-than-impressed with the idea of always being calm, collected and utterly unflappable in front of the crew. Maybe Mal pre-Battle of Serenity, but I doubt it. Captain Laurence has the advantage of commanding a similarly greater number of crew members than Mal, however, plus his 'ship' is very much sentient. (I don't think I've ever heard a better description of Temeraire than 'insouciant but understands the need for cooperation'...)
I'm torn between Folly as an Odiana (albeit a non-sadistically malicious one) and a River Tam-type. They're both far more dangerous than they'd seem, and both a few rungs short of a ladder to the point of needing to be guided about.
Rowl is Kitai or Doroga. From his very first lines he sounded like a Marat. (Probably due to the Marat thinking more about the here-and-now than Alerans, just as the cats think more about the here-and-now than do the humans.)
