DPP: Starbuck and Apollo

Starbuck vs. Kara
 
 
 
Apollo vs. Lee
 
 
 
This is a fic trope that pops up more occasionally.  Usually in reference to the duality between Kara and Starbuck, her alter-ego or mask. 
 
Personally, I think that the mask vs. the protected person inside is more true for Kara because Starbuck is a more outrageous personality.  Lee and Apollo seem more integrated for him.  Although I’ve always thought that his relationship with Dee was based on her fascination with Apollo and not the very real and more damaged person underneath.

So--Starbuck is created from within Kara vs. Apollo is created externally from Lee. This really makes sense to me! Kara is acting based on internal forces and self-protection, whereas Apollo is playing a script that's written for him. I like this idea.

Very well put!
