Kaylee is considered by the crew to be exceptionally sweet and chipper, the type who maintains a bright attitude even when others are feeling low. Kaylee joined Serenity when Mal found her having sex with his then-mechanic, Bester. When Bester informed Mal that the ship couldn't be fixed, Kaylee quickly repaired Serenity and Mal invited her to take Bester's place.

In the pilot episode, Kaylee was shot by Alliance agent Lawrence Dobson. Simon Tam used her injury as a bargaining chip to be allowed to remain on Serenity with his sister, River. She developed a romantic attraction to the ship's physician, Simon, which remained unrequited during the series' run.

Despite her mechanical aptitude, which allows Kaylee to fix just about anything, she has a desire for girlish things and is annoyed when Mal can't see that she is a woman as well as a mechanic. Although most notable in the episode "Shindig," this does recur throughout the series. When her ability as a mechanic fails her, she tends to lose her sunny disposition, as happened in "Out of Gas." Kaylee tends to talk about Serenity as if the ship were a sentient creature.
