During the original run for each of the follow: Scott, Big Barda, and Koriand'r: They enjoy life, indeed, enjoy the small things in life. They've all had very bad experiences, but they see the good and pleasant in the world and appreciate them - indeed one could say they do so because of their bad experiences. They aren't blind to the bad things, so don't come off as Naive. And they aren't falsely cheerful or faking or treated as comic relief for it in the early days. They just think sunny days and hot baths and such are worth being appreciated and enjoyed.
