AKA: Yolanda, Bridgette
(Actor:  Christina Hendricks)

A con artist whose real name is unknown. In the series she also used the aliases "Bridget" and "Yolanda", leading Mal to jokingly address her with the blended term "YoSaffBridge". She has a habit of marrying her marks in the course of her scams. She first appeared in the episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds" as Mal's involuntarily acquired wife.

She is a consummate con-artist who gets her kicks not from making the big score but in proving that she's better and smarter than the people she fools. The crew narrowly manages to avoid the fate that Saffron leaves them to in Our Mrs Reynolds, but Mal doesn't kill her when he catches up to her—he's just a softie. We next meet up with Saffron in the episode Trash. Now, her name is "Bridget" and she's married to Mal's old war-buddy Monty. After Mal ruins her honeymoon, she talks him and the rest of the crew into helping her out with a big theft. During the caper, we find out that she was also married to the Alliance commander they're stealing from—under the name Yolanda. Yolanda... Saffron... Bridget. Yo Saf Bridge. Get it? Yo Saf Bridge was played by Christina Hendricks. They could not have picked a better woman for the part, Christina pulled off being an amazingly tempting femme fatale and did this with sheer perfection. Double acting within the act of being a natural, and still believable as the pro companion. Best known for her line: "face it hubby, I'm really hot!"

TO BE EDITED IN:
Saffron can play any role she desires and do it so convincingly that you'll fully believe her.  From an innocent waif to a smoldering seductress, she can be anyone she desires, and you'll never know it's a lie until it's too late.

No matter what her current persona is, she always has the same red hair and green eyes.  Any emotion she desires can be behind those eyes: mischief, love, fear - and chances are it's all an act.

She doesn't love you, in fact, she probably doesn't care about you at all, but you'll think she does.  Her beauty is enticing and it's hard not to fall for someone with her looks.
