The animated short for Firefly absolutely sold me on pulling for her. There's a lot of 2B and Mass Effect in Firefly, as well as the survivor guilt borne by Jeffrey Sinclair from Babylon 5. It reminded me of the hopelessness of that battle. Beyond that, fighting for an empire and an empress that never existed in order to give the Silver Knights something to fight for is tragic, as they gave their lives for a lie. It's also extremely YorHa.
"The sky was full of stars, and every star was an exploding ship...one of ours."
That really informed a lot of the direction the lyrics for this song took. Also Firefly is pretty metal, and I do like my metal. I also really like the idea of Firefly, having survived the war, having to struggle with not only survivor's guilt of doing so, but reconciling that everything she was programmed and conditioned to believe was a lie.
