Zoe Alleyne Washburne

Mal’s first mate fought beside him in the war and trusts him without question. She is calm, battle-hardened and the only one who tells Mal exactly what she thinks. She is married to the pilot, Wash.

Zoe served as a corporal under Mal in the war and survived Serenity Valley with him. Ever since she has been his right hand – the only one who never questions him, and the only one who tells him straight out when he is wrong.

She is calm, dry-witted and the most dependable fighter on board. She is married to the pilot Wash, much to the surprise of anyone who only knows her as a soldier. “War Stories” shows how strong both bonds are: forced to choose, she rescues her husband first and then goes back for her captain.
