Seven of Nine is incredibly important to me. She helped me grow up and her return was exactly what I needed to move forward in the midst of *waves hands at the world*. I focused on Seven finding family, connection, and community — a collective, even! — in defiance of her trauma. Voyager freed her and brought her back to Earth, but Sirena offers her freedom and a home.

Janeway is a force of nature. Beneath that uniform is a feral woman threatening to break free at the slightest provocation. She's emotional; she feels her feelings deeply, even if she doesn't show them. She gets angry, frustrated, remorseful, and does her best to keep it under control. Not exactly winning qualities in a Starfleet captain by normal standards.

But. She feels deeply in positive ways, too. She gets excited, curious, determined, passionate. She leads with her heart as much as her head and cares deeply for for what she believes in. Even the crew - especially the crew. Even if she doesn't always agree with them, she cares about each of them on a personal level. She's probably had conversations with all of them individually, at some point or another. She lets them ramble on about their hobbies or passions, because she's just so curious about everything. And the crew feels seen and heard because of it.

That's why they're so loyal. No captain should be as close to their crew as she is with hers, but nothing about their trip is normal. It's comforting. It's necessary. It's probably not ideal, but neither is their situation, so who cares?

The crew only wish that Janeway understood better that they care as much about her as she does them. God help the aliens that kidnap this woman, because no force in the cosmos will keep the Voyager crew from rescuing her.
