River Tam

River Tam is the main character of the live-action series, Firefly and the movie Serenity. 
She is portrayed by Summer Glau.
==Bio==
River was the teenage sister of Dr. Simon Tam, both of whom take refuge aboard Malcolm Reynolds' Firefly-class transport ship known as Serenity. She is considered a child prodigy, intelligent beyond her years and athletically gifted. After intense experimentation by Dr. Mathias on behalf of the Parliament—the Alliance ruling body—River was partially transformed into a mentally unstable psychic weapon intended for secret governmental use. She was rescued at great cost by her brother Simon but tracked relentlessly by several agents of the Alliance, primarily Lawrence Dobson, two blue-gloved men, McGinnis, the bounty hunter Jubal Early, and finally the Operative in the movie. Almost all of her time on the lam was spent with the crew of the Serenity, which became her extended family.
==Personality==
Before she was sent to the School, River was a natural prodigy who, as Simon explains it, was good at almost everything she did, whether it was academic or athletic in nature. Even afterwards, she displays great intelligence and incredible fighting ability, but her splintered sanity has caused her to become unstable and impeded her ability to use her talents.
==Abilities==
River has some form of telepathy and remote sensory capability, and possibly some version of Combat Clairvoyance. According to Simon, she's able to grasp just about any subject as naturally as breathing, due to both her savant learning ability and latent psychic powers.
